Commentary And so begins Chapter 2! What? You didn't think Eon's World could go that long without a space battle, did you? Here's a funny story about Chapter 2. Since I moved to Edinburgh two years ago, I've dedicated a lot of time to making various ships and space stations from Eon's World in Google SketchUp, knowing I would need them when I eventually resumed work on the comic. I made over 50 models, some of which I later re-did with improvements, and I made Castle Gemini as well. But I didn't make an improved version of the Arcturus class cruiser leading the flotilla here on page 2.01 until... well, when until I was about to begin Chapter 2, so only a few weeks ago now (I haven't even put it up on deviantART yet!)... and I needed it for the opening act in this chapter! So, needless to say, it was a bit rushed, but I think I did a good job of it all the same. As you can see, I've begun including the outlines on the models now. It's not perfect, but generally speaking, it works better, I've found, than leaving them off, since less of the detail on the models is lost this way. The next few pages were an interesting experience, with variable results, but I'm generally satisfied with how they turned out. Commentary for May 18, 2013

News So it's been two years and a bit since the last page of Eon's World (#843) went online with the announcement that I would be unable to continue the comic for a little while. I didn't expect it to be this long originally, so I apologise for leaving things hanging the way they did (though, at least I didn't you all on a cliff hanger). I wouldn't be at all surprised if readers have stopped expecting the story to continue, because I'd stopped expecting it to myself for a while. I first got round to writing a script for the new format in December 2011, and it was only this February that I actually managed to force myself to start working on bringing that script to life. I had spent a lot of time doing prep work during the long hiatus and I kept telling myself that I wasn't ready yet. But, in the end, I realised that I could keep doing prep work indefinitely, and the comic itself would never materialise=, so I just had to knuckle down and do it. And I did. And now it's time to share it with the world (well, with the internet). Updates will be at their usual times (Wednesdays and Saturdays), ideally early in the day (around midnight, GMT, where possible). If you're worried about the old comics archive, don't be. To save server space, I'm migrating all 843 pages to deviantART, where you'll still be able to see them. But those pages have scarily enormous file sizes, so it will save a lot of space here to move them. If you're not already watching me on deviantART, please do so! You'll get to see all kinds of things I've been working on for the comic, including so sneak previews of various ships and such. The forum is still where it used to be, so if you want to discuss the comic and the various issues surrounding it, feel free to join, but please remember to be civil. News for April 03, 2013
