Two things. One, yes the site looks different because I accidentally upgraded ComicPress without backing up my settings and extensive customizations. That’s okay, it was badly in need of upgrading anyway. I’m too annoyed to mess with it right now.
Two, as the previous post implied might happen, our artist is now officially out of commission. Holly’s eye injuries have caused her to suffer intense migraines when she draws, and as such she is unable to continue as artist for CttC. Anyone following her blog can get more details.
So, that’s the state of things. Close to the Chest is on indefinite hiatus until another artist can be found. I still have all the character info, undrawn scripts and long-term plans – those aren’t going anywhere.
If you are an artist of at least some skill, can commit to regular updates, and are willing to accept my criticisms and corrections, please contact me at jreinsch(at)gmail(dot)com. Include a few samples of your work if possible. I still want to replace all the older strips, and this story is FAR from over. Hell, it was just getting good.
And no, I’m afraid I cannot pay you yet. All revenue from adbars goes toward site hosting and outgoing advertising.
