HEY hey HeY!
FIRST OF ALL, I owe you guys a big apology for not updating, and in a nutshell, this is what came up:

1)I failed a few classes last semester.

2)Therefore, I was grounded and separated from my beloved computer.

3)My tablet broke.

4)I got a new one but it broke again just yesterday.

5)New semester's up, and exams are coming. Also, I'm STILL grounded.

But I know this is none of your business, and that you just want updates (...r-right?). So for all you 270+ fans that stayed with me even after that super long hiatus, for those of you still reading this comic even if the plot is YET to be revealed... and for those of you who read this TL;DR, I thank you. You have my eternal gratitude.

Since I don't know when I'll get a tablet again, I figured it would be nice to update with my last resort: the preliminar sketches for "Syringe". A-ahaha. Oh god. They're so hideous, but they're the original designs, I think. I'm still pretty faithful to them, except that in the end I decided to make Johann less crazy and more laid-back (What? Who's Johann?). Jules was supposed to have crazy eyes and perpetually concerned eyebrows, which he does. He's always holding onto his scarf neurotically, too. Liam was supposed to be friendlier, chipper and really easy to get along, but somehow along the way he became so crazy and shady, haha. And of course, our main character Erin, who was always supposed to be a chicken, except that he was gonna be a little more... mature? yeah. And some other minor changes in them all. I hope this covers my long absence |D;;

without further ado...

HAPPY SINGLE AWARENESS DAY, EVERYONE!!

I'll never give up on you! YAY!

Wait, if you're grounded...how did you update?

As far as the just-broken tablet goes, didn't it come with a warranty? I know mine did.

I know that school's hard-- hell, I'm in Honors and all my time's eaten up by work-- so I can't get mad at you. :) Don't see how I could, anyway! What year of school are you in?

Hey.
Well, even if it is only old art filler ... I am glad to see an update from you Maki. C:

Heyyy~ I really like your sketches/inks, they have a lot of personality. And your comic- albeit being really confusing (lol) -is totally worth waiting for. :D
