Time to dust off the website

Just a quick announcement to anyone who may still follow this site (lack of updates...) that Disgraph will be returning this Wed with new comics.

If you follow the blog at all, you'll notice the reason I haven't been updating is simple. When the pre-Wrath patch dropped, it borked my model viewer something fierce. For the record, I use the Model Viewer for Mac and run an old g5 iMac, so the working Windows version isn't really an option to me at the moment. So after struggling with ways to get the WMV back, I've given up on that for now.

In the mean time I'll be posting some filler work with screen from in game (shudder). Why didn't I do that sooner? Well....I really didnt want to lower myself to that point. I at least wanted some work to go into the strip artistically, even if was just some slightly more elaborate photoshopping.

But for now, that will be a stopgap until I can get things back on track. Did someone mention hand drawn....well....we'll see....

Check back Wednesday!

Episode 29: Sorry About the Clip Show







Post coming later. My Model Viewer is still down, but damn it, I'm putting something up. Hopefully the fact that its three pages instead of one makes up for it. Sorry for the massive image. Enjoy.

Holy Crap, An Update!

So Model View is still borked for me. However it is also the one year anniversary of this comic, so damn it I'm putting something up. The comic is under way now and will be up this evening probably around 8:30. Cya then!

Grrrrr

So I promised a comic. I had it all ready to go. Script was written, background screens were taken. I booted up the Model Viewer to get my characters and...crash. Tried again. And Crash. And so on and so forth. A quick trip to the internet reveals that yesterday's patch not only screwed up the servers royally, it also broke the WoW Model Viewer. God damn it! Here and I am trying to get back on track and this shit happens.

And it gets a little worse for me. I run on a Mac, so I use an already buggy version of the model viewer because it has not been supported since 2006 when the the pre-TBC patch hit. So, while I'm sure the windows version will be fixed, I am up the creek without a paddle.

Luckily I've been working on alternatives and now am just gonna have to redouble me efforts. Sorry guys, I really wanted to have a comic up today. I'm pissed that things turned out this way, we me having nothing to do with it. Stay tuned for updates on how I'm doing.

The Adventures of Disgraph T. Dwarf will return, I swear it.

End of the Hiatus

Haha, no its not right now. Sorry guys, I've been more than a little distracted with the comic as far as work and school and RL stuff. Let me put it this way...its really hard to be funny when your in a deep dark pit of depression.

Good news though, I'm out of it and back to work on the comics. Sorry, no update this week, but next week 10/15, we're back and on track. Hopefully I can even build up a buffer so this whole delay crap can stop once and for all. Its really not fair to you guys.

Disgraph's Laundry List of Things To Do:
-Get back to making comics
-Update my software. The Model Viewer I'm using right now for mac sucks and i'm the process of hunting down alternatives. Also I want a working Map Viewer so I dont have to take screens in game. Sadly working off a Mac makes these things a little harder
-Rework the website with a better layout and archive system

I'd also like to thank everyone who has put up with me and Cru and Fargo for saying such nice things about me. Aren't they sweet?

So next week, I come roaring back with a vengeance. 100% Promise
