I’m starting to realise how much shading makes a difference. Teague in the latest comic update looks so much better and more mature, exactly how I envisioned him to be. Comparing that to the others really highlights how boyish he looks in comparison (and trust me, he’s no teenager).
I’m taking that into account for future comic pages. Hopefully I’ll be able to fit that development in!
I’ve been really missing old coastal towns recently, particularly Cornwall and Pembrokeshire. Being reminded of them on occasion helps keep me grounded when my mind becomes too noisy. ‘Teague Fagan’ as a comic was one I started out of fun, through my love for these places and the sea. When the worries of making it more established for an audience rose up, it suddenly became less fun because instead of keeping it focused, I added more plot points, more characters, more arcs to establish; thus making it a bigger project to complete. I think that’s what’s caused me to struggle to continue over the last few months and made me want to re-think the storyline; re-establishing what made me want to start it in the first place.
If you made it this far, thank you for reading my mini brain fart. It’s actually nice to write my thoughts down ^^
Hello all! I hope you’re well and looking forward to the colder seasons. I really love Autumn and Winter (maybe not the darker morning side to it but there’s something about it that I adore).
Following on from my short break, I have decided to take a longer hiatus due to my reflections resulting in me wanting to reform my comic into a series of images as part of my PhD work. I’ve found the story I want to tell may not necessarily be told best in comic format – especially when I find the transitionary scenes between ones I most want to create more a chore.
Nonetheless, I will keep this website and the pages up. I never know, I may want to return to it for fun! For now I am leaving it indefinitely.
In the meantime, here is the next round of new comics from SpiderForest!
New Member Spotlight – Falling into a New World
Whether you’re stepping into a whole new planet, a seemingly-normal game, or your wildest dreams, these comics will let you escape from your normal responsibilities. But tread carefully, you may find more than you bargained for!
Ash in the Wind – Alexis is a disillusioned college student who has lost interest in the real world. When a chance turns up to investigate a paranormal legend (and with the boy she’s been eyeing) she seizes it. But when dreams become reality, reality becomes a nightmare.
Foreach – Jasper is an exorcist-in-training who feels beaten down by the pressures of life, friends and family. When it gets to be too much, Jasper likes to sit down and play a videogame called LOVE BOMB… but there’s more to this game than seems at first…
Slumbertown – Slumber is an unsuspecting ghost town that ALSO happens to exist as a collective dreamscape of its 32 villagers! No one can quite remember how they moved to Slumber – or who or what is keeping them there.
NEVERMIND – Two 20-somethings, Jethro and Dolly, and their experiences with extraterrestrials, particularly a curious cyclops princess named Diesel, during the extremely crusty, grungy year of 1994.
Broccoli Soup – Broccoli wakes up one day in a featureless void with no idea how they got there. The only other inhabitant of the void is their mysterious creator (and Very Best Friend) Lady Doris, who sends them away on missions to other worlds. Broccoli must bring Politeness and Goodness to the universe and make their creator proud, but there’s one problem: they don’t really know what Polite and Good even means.
Hello lovely readers!
I’ve come to a point where I need to have a break from my comic for 1-2 months. I’ve been working on it for the past 2-3 years (including the first draft that hasn’t been published here) and there has been a few recent developments in story and character that has made me re-consider a few things in design and plot. So I need time to reflect on them. Funnily enough, the story has been inspired by the same sources that inspired my PhD proposal – so it’s likely it will crossover onto my academic work. In the meantime, I am giving myself the space needed to develop these new ideas.
Plus I need time to settle into my new job.
To all those who returned to enjoy the story or recent fans, this message is for you <3
Haha! It took me all evening but we’re finally up to date with the comic 😀
Also all of the comic pages have gone through a resizing to make it easier to read so fingers crossed that works well for everyone. Any issues you spot, please let me know and I’ll work to get it fixed.
In the meantime, read through Teague Fagan to catch up to the latest page! I’m now free to make updates (though I will also continue to work on other art pieces to upload to the character page) so time to grab the pencil.
Oh it’s been a busy day getting this website all setup but there is still a way to go. It’s been brought to my attention that the comic pages may be taking too long a time to load due to their file size so I will work to compress them myself so it’s easier for you as the reader. Also Chapter 2 will be uploaded next.
Thank you everyone for your patience. I will get this all sorted within the next week or two – depends on how much time I can dedicate to the website before the weekend. But I will work to get it all done asap.
I cannot wait for this all to be sorted because I am eager to get back to working on the comic itself. Poor Lord Reginald keeps staring at me with sad eyes so I cannot let him down!
Welcome to the official home of Teague Fagan.
Please bear with me as I get used to this new setup, there’s a lot to take in at once and I’m still getting to grips with it all. However it will be complete in good time.
Until then, enjoy your day lovely readers 🙂
