Pastel Noir, Chapter 1, Final Page.
Aug23
Finally, I update!
I’ve been less than regular with this comic, and I’ve been doing you all a disservice. I have my doubts about Pastel Noir, and I think that’s been the reason for the inconsistency. So, I’m going to pause the comic here for a bit until I’m ready to give it everything I’ve got.
Thanks for reading, guys. If it weren’t for you, Pastel Noir would’ve died on the third page. ‘Til next time!
Forget your doubts – just follow the story, even if it doesn’t follow your intended script (ie, the characters don’t seem to behave the way you want them). Actually, don’t forget your doubts, because that’s not a good idea.
Summation – we’re all behind you and waiting for more PN.
Thanks for sticking around through all this, Pedro!
My main doubt is with the writing. Pastel Noir’s emphasis on dialogue makes it very hard to write for, especially after Silent Pirate, so I need to reach a rhythm where I can write a page more than once a week. Until I can get the workflow right, I’m effectively stuck. Plus, I feel there aren’t enough jokes per page.
It may take a while, but I’ll get there, I’m sure of it.
I can understand the issue there. Write at your own pace, for the obvious reason that if it feels rushed, it’s not going to be as good. I for one will stick around. Lyric’s appeared throughout, so I’m assuming he will. There are probably lots of silent readers hanging around, with similar thoughts. Jokes – they’ll happen when they do. Don’t sweat it.
You alright? I’m still here, at least. Any clues as to when the next page will be? Any thoughts, ideas, etc on the next crime..? Or been enjoying a well earned break somewhere exotic?
I’m all right. Thanks for sticking around.
I have an idea for Chapter 2, but nothing finalized yet. The “crime” will take place in an elementary school.
I’ve recently started a new job, and between that, moving, and whatever doubts I have about the comic…let’s just say it isn’t a good time for me to return to comics yet.
When I do come back (likely within 1-2 months or so, I’ll be giving cartooning everything I’ve got.
Side note: your new avatar is WONDERFUL.
Aaaah. Now it all makes sense. Good luck with the job, and the moving/unpacking. I stole that picture from a comic called Grrl Power. It’s a picture of an alien succubus holding a radiation eating snail that looks rather like an Omanyte.
Thanks. Also, based on that description, I really should be reading Grrl Power!
