Death and the Maiden II

Back issues continue

Nina — Sun, 29 Jan 2012 13:02:30 +0000

Sad news: I have to quit drawing for good, at least for the time being. My back is getting worse and I’m on the verge of surgery by now. If there’s anything I don’t want it’s a nucleotomy. I’m currently trying other options, but either way, I can’t sit straight right now. And that means: No drawing. Sorry to say. I don’t know what will come, but right now, I must admit that I’m only concerned in getting rid of the pain and NOT ending up paralysed.
If anything new arises, I will post it here, but don’t expect anything soon.

Fate strikes again

Sorry for the renewed lack of updates. I had to step back from drawing for a while, since not only my back aches, but my cat is sick again. I just need a break from deadlines for a few weeks, since Fate seems to have it in for me right now.
The comic is not cancelled, just put on hold until further notice. Sorry for that. Blame the guy above for it.

In the meantime…

Two reasons, why the usual “every Tuesday” can’t be upheld any longer:
1. I’ve caught up with the German version, so I haven’t anything on stock.
2. I’ve got quite severe back problems at the moment. Which means, I can’t sit and draw for very long time, or else the pain kills me. I’m trying to find a better chair, but the thing is that I need two – one for work, one for my drawing table at home. And those chairs are anything but cheap, I can tell you. So, until I’m actually sitting on one, the delay will unfortunately continue.

In the meantime, I thought it was highly time to link to some fanart. There’s actually quite a lot of fanart in existence, but not so much on DA. If you look on the right link bar, first link under “misc”, you’ll find all the fanwork people sent me via e-mail. And if you’re more into Deviantart, you’ll find some here:

Windmädchen
Skellagirl
shadowDante100

Now, if any of you sent me another link, probably via comment on this blog, that I haven’t listed here (I think that might be the case, but can’t remember where to look!), please write me an e-mail or copy the link in a comment to this newspost. I am very sorry I didn’t do this earlier, it’s not that I’m not extremely pleased with and grateful for every fanart, it’s just that I’m a forgetful old hag.

Chapter 7 Strip 52

Well, it’s no use waiting any longer, I won’t get the translation right. I have to ask all you English native speakers for your assistance regarding Mercedes’ rant. I think it’s obvious what she’s calling (former) Death – a lyer and a fraud. Swearing is one of the most difficult things if you’re not a native speaker but relying mostly on dictionaries – it quickly sounds fake and put on.
So, please just tell me what I should change in order to make it sound like a credible outrage.

Edit:
Thank you so much for all your advice! I replaced “swank” with “poser”, which fitted best into the now free space. I hope it fits?

Lost in translation

Just to let you know: I’m a bit stuck with the translation of the upcoming strip, that’s why it’s taking a little longer. Patience, please…
