Girls Only!

Latest Comic:

Requiescat in pace

Welcome to Girls Only!.

Mychael Raine has just transferred to St. Harald High for dark and secret reasons, but his new life is not all that he had hoped for, and a whole lot of things he'd rather hoped it'd never be.

To the great surprise of no-one

Yeah, it's dead. For now.
The problem with Girls Only! is that I'm just not satisfied with it. Every page I draw, I'm just never really content.
I like the characters, I like the idea, I like where I *want* the story to go. The problem is I can't seem to get it there.

It's the storytelling that fails me. Having gone past the 100 comics, we should have long since passed ten or twelve more milestones in the story than we have. This is partly because I've run this damn thing for two years, and I've gotten a lot better at pretty much EVERYTHING since then. And the comic just doesn't live up to me any more.
Not that you can tell, obviously, what with the way I'm not updating to show you anything.
I suspect when I start again, I'll start it over from scratch. Same story, same characters, told better, drawn better. It won't be the first time I've rebooted it, and last time it was a million times better for it. So I'm optimistic.

I'll get back to it some time, that much is certain, but since I cannot currently tell WHEN that "some time" is, I'm declaring it dead. You can stop checking in for updates (if any of you still do), I'll let y'all know by way of deviantART and Tumblr and Twitter when the comic comes back.

Until then, I'll probably be drawing some more of those Therapist-comics I've been posting on Tumblr and deviantART. They're developing into a whole sort of THING in my brain. Maybe also get Jack the Immortal Hero going a bit more. Not to mention there's a chance I'm writing a novel. Nothing that's gonna get published, I don't think, but I'm writing nonetheless.

The OTHER Other Side

This is a newspost because there hasn't been a newspost in a while.

New chapter of Girls Only!, new stuff happening, new character getting introduced... I hope it will be good, maybe?

My GOD this is a disinteresting post. So to even it out:

"Build a man a fire, and he'll be warm for a day. Set a man on fire, and he'll be warm for the rest of his life."
"Everything starts somewhere, although many physicists disagree."
"Fantasy is an exercise bicycle for the mind. It might not take you anywhere, but it tones up the muscles that can."
"Five exclamation marks, the sure sign of an insane mind."
"Genius is always allowed some leeway, once the hammer has been pried from its hands and the blood has been cleaned up."
"He was the sort of person who stood on mountaintops during thunderstorms in wet copper armour shouting 'All the Gods are bastards.'"
"In ancient times cats were worshipped as gods; they have not forgotten this."
"In the beginning there was nothing, which exploded."
- Terry Pratchett
