The Dream Agency Updates

News � Page 3, coming very soon!

Sun, 05 Jul 2009 21:38:28 GMT

Hey there! I decided to update with a third page before I fix the previous two pages and the cover. That will keep the story going for one more week and show that this project is still going.

I think I'm going to try new inking and toning styles, because I believe this can look so much better, cleaner, and more manga-like. Of course, I want to preserve my personal touch, but if I can make the pages more appealing, then that's what I'll do.

So I'm going to start working on this page today. This would be easier, but like I said, I'm going to rewrite part of the plot, so the old script doesn't work anymore (I already had the script for chapter 1).

Well, see you later!

News � I'm still here!

Hello, everyone!

I know it's been a while, and I would like to apologize, but I know that won't change anything. So I'll just say, I hope I can soon repay you for your patience and support, for waiting for an update and not removing the comic from your favorites. I appreciate that, I really do.

So, there are some things I must announce, and I'll start with that now.

First of all, new layout! I hope you like it. It is temporary, though. I want to design something that's really worthy of this story. Something with graphics and illustrations of the characters, or of the story's theme in general.

Actually, know that I'm taking requests for making templates/designs for comics here in SmackJeeves. Right now I'm working on two, so I can't take more requests. I'm being active in the template requests board of the forums, so if you need a template/design, try posting there.

If you want to see examples of my work, check my layout design playground soon. I'll be having pages with previews of my works and information on how to request, among other things. I also use that place for testing, so you might watch me work on a new request, live.

Second, the about and author pages have been updated a little. I turned 20 in April 5, so I had to change my age info. I also had to write some information about the tools I use to make the pages, which are digital. Ah! And I almost forgot, but the links page has an update as well. I posted links to the mirror sites for this webcomic.

Third, know that I'll be redrawing the cover page, and there'll also be new banner. And there'll be a gallery section with art for this story. There are other things coming, but I don't want to promise anything yet. Not until I have something to show you.

I was going to start drawing TDA traditionally, but the new scanner turned out to be defective, and now I don't have one again. So there's no way for me to scan my works. And there's concept art for about every main character of TDA. I wanted to show you, I guess the only way to do that will be by taking photos, but those won't show the pictures in their best state.

Anyway, this is the end of this post. I extended it too much.

See you next time!

Hey everyone!

Just to let you know I'm still alive... It's just that I've been really busy and feeling down lately. But more the first than the latter. Really busy.

I wanted to update this week, but I have a lot of work coming up for next week, so I have to focus on my studies now. I thought I'd have some free time...

I'm gonna try getting everything done early so that I can sit down for a few hours and work on the next page's script and layout, and then draw and ink next week, as soon as possible.

I'm going to be honest: I've also been working on other projects. One of them is very important. More so than this one, I admit. But that doesn't mean that I don't care about TDA.

TDA is just starting, but I am already fond of the characters. So I'll try not to let you down, okay?!

I'll see you soon with a new page! To those who are still with me, thank you. Really, thank you! I truly appreciate it.

Take care!

News � Back to updating!

Sun, 25 Jan 2009 01:07:56 GMT

It took me over a month to update with the second page, and I want to apologize for that. It's kinda funny, but as soon as I posted page 02, I gained a fan and lost another. Uh, honestly... it makes me sad, because I can't help wondering why. But each person has different interests, and maybe TDA is simply not everyone's type of webcomic. This is very much a 'shojo', after all. I can expect more girls than boys reading TDA.

Anyway, like the title says, I'm back!

Now, I really need to get this off the ground. Unfortunately, I cannot promise an update schedule yet. So I'll do this sporadically, or when I get the chance.

Hmm... I want to point out that I made some changes to the story during this time of absence. These changes are important, because I had to eliminate some characters. However, I'll consider re-incorporating them if I can fit them in at some time. This web manga, like I've said already, is experimental. For the moment, anything can change.

Ah! And there's something else. ^_^ I'll be updating the website with new content, and the layout's color scheme will be modified in the near future.

Well, that's all for now! Thank you for reading TDA, for giving me a chance. ^_^; Take care, and *hugs*!

News � Missed updates! :(

Wed, 17 Dec 2008 05:21:26 GMT

Sorry guys! I missed the extra page I wanted to post yesterday. But today I made a new illustration to use as cover for the webcomic! :) Check the first page if you want to see it.

Tomorrow I'll do my best to finish page 2, okay? Really, I mean it. I have that page planned, and I'll thumbnail it on paper before going to sleep tonight.

On other news! I've updated all the extra sections! The 'About' page, the 'Author' page, and a new one: 'Links'! Check that one out, it's going to showcase some (but not all) of my favorite webcomics!

I've also joined my own -new- webcomic ring, at http://webrings.arwym.com/webcomics! If you have a webcomic, maybe you should try joining!

And my personal webcomic directory is now up again! It's a place where I'll post about the webcomics I read online, with information, summaries, reviews and more. Visit it at http://arwym.com/comics.

Finally, I've also joined the Rubifruit.com banner exchange. :3 The banner's at the bottom of the page.

Well, that's all until tomorrow. See you then!

News � Updates for this week!

Mon, 15 Dec 2008 01:58:45 GMT

Hello there, and thank you for visiting TDA!

This is a notice to tell you a little about what I got planned for this week.

First of all, to those 6 fans, THANK YOU! You make me very happy by faving my webcomic, and I hope you'll enjoy reading it! Comments are always welcome.

Now, I wanted to update today, Sunday, but we were doing house chores here, and when we finished, I was very tired. So I went to sleep, and now it's almost 10 PM. I woke up without any inspiration to draw, though I've been looking at pens and other tools for drawing traditionally, and also at some tutorials and drawing books I have, to see if I can continue improving my skills. So I'll try to update TWICE tomorrow!

Starting tomorrow, Monday, I'll try to update this webcomic at a minimum of 3 times a week. Since I missed today's update, tomorrow I'll do something extra: I'll make a new cover for the first chapter, because the current cover isn't so much of my liking anymore, and the style has changed a little since I drew that.
I'll do my best to have page 2 up after I finish the cover, too. :3

Then I'll continue writing more of chapter one's script (it's being written by page) on Tuesday, and on Wednesday, I'll attempt to draw page 3.

I'll try to have chapter one's entire script finished before the week ends.

On Friday, I'll try to update with page 4.

So it'll be like this: updates on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays during the holidays, if possible. That's 3 pages a week, and one extra page or some art if I can. That will be the schedule, for the moment.

When the holidays end, the schedule will be adjusted according to my classes and new job (when I get a new one).

Well, that's all I can say for now. Again, THANK YOU FOR FAVING! <3 I LOVE YOU. *HUGGLES*

Edit: I think I just lost one fan... ;_; *Cries* Oh well...

News � Project Resumed!

Sun, 14 Dec 2008 08:20:36 GMT

I had decided to delete this comic and forget about it, but now I've changed my mind! So the comic will finally begin! With some slight changes, but very much the original idea.

Don't forget to check out my other projects! :)

News � Layout Revamp

Wed, 26 Dec 2007 01:44:46 GMT

If the layout looks all plain, it's because I am working on it right now. Totally revamped. :o

Sorry for any inconvenience!
