<title>In Carnate Part 1 Cover</title>
<description><![CDATA[Finally, it's ready! The all-new-and-improved version of Pictures, free from plot holes, dropped threads and blobby art! So take a look, ladies and gentlemen, at the cover for [url=wwwdrunkduck.com/In_Carnate]In Carnate[/url]!

I suppose I'd better explain the logic behind this restart. In the time it took to even draw chapter 1, my idea for the story of Pictures was very different from how it was originally and by the time I got to chapter 5, there was almost no resemblance. There was foreshadowing for things that would never happen, at least 1 character with a design that badly needed changing and a tone that was very very wrong. So... I decided to do a restart and do it properly this time. Thank you very much for reading Pictures, and I hope you enjoy In Carnate. ^_^]]></description>

<title>Placeholder and apology</title>
<description><![CDATA[As you've no doubt noticed, I've been having a few troubles on the update front. What with a combination of the rate at which I was updating before and the various pressures uni puts on my time, I've been finding it very difficult to draw anything. I figured if I didn't take a rest from the comic I'd burn myself out.
I'm loath to call this a hiatus (since we all know that in webcomics the word 'hiatus' means 'will never see the light of day again' XD) but I will take at least another 2 weeks to try to get back into it. Once I'm ready though, I WILL be continuing Pictures. It likely won't update as frequently as before but I hope I won't have to do this again too soon.
(Why's Fyrinae the one in the fanservice-y (and extremely mismatched) costume? Because pissing her off amuses me. >=3)
So, again, sorry for the wait (and especially since it's just about to really get good) and I'll update some time in the near future! Thanks for reading this far! ^_^]]></description>

<title>Chapter 5 Page 4</title>
<description><![CDATA[The reason this page looks a little shoddier than usual is because I [i]swore[/i] I would have it up for today. Luckily I left the background 'til last so they're the bits that suffer. I know I'm trying to improve, but I'd rather tell the story at a decent speed but not looking perfect than spend a month on each page. XD
On that note, I think the update schedule for this chapter has well and truly changed to 'it'll be done when it's done'. Next chapter (which most likely WON'T coincide with next month) I'll know better what schedule I can cope with, but for now I'll make pages as and when I can manage it.
Callum's just seen how obnoxious Fyrinae is and can't quite believe it. And Martin's dropped any facade of putting up with her. It's not usually in his nature to act like that, but the two of them (Fyrinae, not Callum) bring out the worst in each other. Which is always fun to write for. Speaking of that, with Callum around Martin's more likely to go with his gut instinct, rather than what he thinks is a good idea. He knows Callum will step in if he goes too far and does something stupid, so he's not afraid of screwing up. If Callum had been there in Chapter 1, Fyrinae wouldn't even be in this. XD
See you... Ah... Next page.
And if there are any new readers come here from FanDanGo, hello! Yes, Subo is the sexiest thing ever. Thanks for reading, and thanks to Darth Mongoose for recommending. ^_^
Now I'm off to get drunk. =D]]></description>

<title>Chapter 5 Page 3</title>
<description><![CDATA[Sorry about the wait for that one (not that anyone probably noticed =P). I've been struggling to keep up with the comic since I got to uni and so missing an update was kinda inevitable. 5 months and 53 pages in for the first late page isn't really bad going though, I don't think. ^_^
I'll keep this update schedule this chapter just to see if I can, but I think after this one I'll try something new. I need to slow down or I'll burn myself out before the end of the first story arc. V_V
I do think the extra time on this page was worth it. It's pretty crucial for establishing the relationship between Martin and Callum. The specifics won't be brought up for a while yet, but the atmosphere between them is... Strained, to say the least. Read anything you like into this page. I won't mind in the slightest. ^_^
And for once, the half-assed backgrounds were almost intentional. The guys and their conversation are the focus of this page. Busy backgrounds would just be a distraction. I love justified laziness. =P
Hopefully the next page should be up on time. If it isn't you have permission to kick me hard.]]></description>

<title>Chapter 5 Page 2</title>
<description><![CDATA[The anatomy on this page sucks balls. This is what I get for losing my buffer. This is punishment for my laziness. XD
And that third panel just DOES NOT work. It's AWFUL.
On the bright side, you finally get to see Callum, and this page has massive amounts of ho yay. If I had a fandom, slashfic would be being written as I type. =D (Weiss Kreuz has a fandom, why can't I? Oh, I forgot, the CAST MADE UP ENTIRELY OF BISHIES. XD)
I'll be fiddling with my text bubbles for the next two pages. I think the ink tool is better than airbrush, as it was for the lineart, now I just need to play around with the settings. Bear with me as I work my way through this. The ugly text bubbles will be sorted out soon, I promise. =D
Anyway, I'll try to get my act together in time for next page. This is much harder than before. *dies and is ded* V_V]]></description>
