Monthly Update

Welcome to July, everyone!

There’s not a whole lot of news on my end this month. We’re approaching the end of Chapter 2, which is pretty exciting, and I’m still all buzzy from the new site design going up last week. :3

TGT Media Interview

I got to hang out with Kurt on TGT Media over the weekend, and we talked about my comics! This one is a video interview, so you can see my darling face, complete with monitor glare on my glasses. :)

Sarah’s Missing Shadow

My friend and once podcasting comrade Eric Kimball is raising funds to publish a children’s book, with art by the talented Barb Jacobs. Go check it out!

Commission Info

There are still commission slots open! All my info is over here.

Fanart

…Anyone wanna draw me fanart? THAT WOULD BE SO RAD. :D

New site design!

by Alex Heberling on June 28, 2013 at 12:00 am

HAY GUYS~

You might notice it looks a little different around here! I’ve been working on a new site design for the last couple weeks, and it’s finally ready, so I flipped the proverbial switch yesterday afternoon. It’s all based on the Easel theme this time around, so I’m totally converted over to Comic Easel from the old ComicPress system now, and I think that’s pretty fantastic.

The initial site design was kind of quickly cobbled together when I launched the comic earlier this year, so I’m not sad to see it go. As a point of interest, here’s the initial mockup I made of the new design:

I tweaked and changed some things as I went through customizing the CSS, and the result is before your eyes. :D

The comic pages in the archive were 550 pixels wide before, and now they’re going to be 750 pixels wide, so my nice artwork wont be quite so shrunk down. ;u; The last couple pages are already sized up to the new format, and I’ll be going through the archives and replacing the old comic images with the bigger ones over the next few days.

If you notice anything wonky, let me know! I looked at the site in Chrome, Firefox, and IE and everything looked okay to me, but you never know.

I’m also enabling comments on individual pages for the moment, since the discussion threads haven’t really been working, AND I installed Disqus comments. So. That’s a thing.

Anyways, I hope you all have a great weekend, and I’ll see you on Monday!

TrotCon Post-Mortem

by Alex Heberling on June 17, 2013 at 12:00 am

I’m back from TrotCon! We had another excellent year, and thank you to everyone who came by the table over the weekend. :D I had a lot of fun doing sketch card commissions, and I took a bunch of photos and posted them on my Tumblr last night! Go check them out!

My next appearance will tentatively be at Independents’ Day in Columbus on September 20th-22nd.

Page 58 is currently in progress, and it will be posted sometime in the late afternoon today. Con prep got me a little behind on comicking last week, so I apologize for the delay.

Monthly Update

Hi everyone! It’s June 1st, and that means MONTHLY UPDATE TIME.

Little Person Among Media Giants

My buddy Kurt over at TGT Media is raising funds for his first documentary! Go check out his IndieGoGo campaign and consider pledging! One of the reward tiers is going to include a sketch commission by me, so keep an eye out for it ~~when it become available~~. :D EDIT: It is now available! And it comes with a DVD!

I’ve been on TGT Media two times over the years, and I’m going to be on the show again later this month! I’ll post the link when it happens.

Commission Info

I’ve been getting more frequent inquiries about commissions the last few weeks, so I thought it was a good idea to reinstate the commissions page on my website! If you are interested in some art, go look over the options, and then send me an email at alexheberling@gmail.com. Commissions help keep the roof over my head, so don’t hesitate to ask!

TrotCon

June 14-16th is TrotCon, a My Little Pony convention in Columbus, OH! I’m going to be at table 23 in the Artist Acres, and I’m gonna pony it up all over the place. :) I had a great time last year, and this year’s event has expanded into a three-day event at a new location, so I think it’s going to be awesome. The Origins Game Fair is also the same weekend, so there’s going to be lots going on. I’m looking forward to it!
