I'm so dreadfully sorry that this page took so long to do, I simply lost all drive to finish it.

13th of December, 2007 News:

Well I finished most of the drawing here on time, Pinky in the big panel was the only real trouble, I just couldn’t get her right for some reason! Painting took a long time though. One of the reasons was I’ve just got my new specy powerful computer with its massive wide screen. So I’ve had to customize and install everything to work just right with it. And unlike when I got my second monitor, this upgrade didn’t result in a productivity increase. Instead because of the bigger screen and extra power it means I can add more detail painting more carefully on the page at full size because I can see more of it on one screen. Ha! Sot myself in the foot! Anyway, I thought the extra time was worth it to show you Pinky’s new Tiger.

Oh, and guest staring as an agent, we have Sally from The Devon Legacey.

25th of November, 2007 News:

Hahahaha! Yet another late page but at least this one didn't take two weeks like the last two. In fact I could have had this one done by Wednesday, but I was badly ill on Monday and Tuesday, and after that I've been busy setting up my nice new computer... I'm still on the old one at the moment though, I've got a lot of stuff still to transfer over and then I have to tune things exactly to my preference. It should make my artwork go a lot smoother though!
And lookee here, Pinky with a classic buttshot! ^_^ The awning shadow really mutes the bum power though... -_-

18th of November, 2007 News:

I'm still late. Looks like the problem's getting worse. I wonder what's causing it? Lack of concentration maybe? Boredom with the current scenes? Lack of discipline? Being sick? All of the above probably...

2nd of November, 2007 News:

Sorry this was over two weeks late, I'm just a real shit. I don't know why, but I found it hard to stick with and concentrate on this page. I'm going to have to lift my game and get back to weekly updates
ON TIME, or maybe even bi-weekly. I know I CAN do it.

The pic of the buccaneer here was inspired by a groovy image of the USS Pennsylvania during the battle of Leyte Gulf in WW2. It's not as awesome as that image of course, but that's what inspired me. I dunno, this page only just started to look good at the very end when I added all the effects. Usually my style requires a minimum of line and detail work because I know the colour will add all that, but this time that wasn't the case! I should really have done a bit more work on the drawing stage. This was a crappy lazy page and I paid hard for that laziness.

Amelius of Charby the Vampirate put Pinky in one of the latest pages of the famous and fantastic Charby the Vampirate! Click the pic to see Pinky at the demon party! ^_^

18 th of October, 2007 News:

Two week delay on this one! I’m very sorry about that. There were a few reasons for it. My sister was visiting, I was feeling quite low about my work generally, and this page was quite difficult to visualise, since all the fancy action stuff that drives it AND defines most of the colouring and lighting wasn’t going to go on until the very final stage, so it was tricky drawing and colouring a whole page around imaginary special effects. Hahahaha! But it DOES look better when it’s done that way, even if it is harder. -putting mocked up effects in as placeholders doesn’t achieve the same result in the end I find.

+Fan Art!+

Priceman of Silvershot created this truly SASSY sexy momma of a Pinky for me as part of a larger group fan pic. Click the image bellow to visit his site and check it out! I’ll add it to my fan art gallery as soon as I’ve had some sleep.

6th of October, 2007 News:

This page was basically finished yesterday. Jebus, it was mostly done on Wednesday really, but I just lost all enthusiasm, got too tired and had too sleep a lot. It's a nice view of Pinky in the first panel, but I intended this page to be a quickie so that I could do two updates this week, unfortunately quickies always seem to be too boring to concentrate on, especially when you're tired. I like Pinky's dress there, but she'd have looked cool in her sexy gear in that pose. Bugger it!

Oh, and those Trompers are much like the SSV5 so far. Not too much of a stretch but some aspects of them will always cause problems. Grr. This story features them heavilly.

26th of September, 2007 News:

I spent too long messing around with the colour, just having a lot of fun painting, fun with light. This tends to happen when I do dark scenes, it takes longer and longer because you have so much more range with tone on a dark page than you do on a bright one.

19th of September, 2007 News:

Updated on time because I finished this on early! For once! Pinky is getting less than half the hits it's been getting for a while... Not sure why, but these things happen I suppose, at least the art's as good as ever and I'm having fun with that. WHoopdeedoop... So nice to be able to update early for once! Yay.

12th of September, 2007 News:

Updated on time this week, and I've tried to update this stite to take into account the new chapter 7 finally... I hope it works... Plus I'm sick :(

6th of September, 2007 News:

Only a single day late THIS time! The main BG here was based on a photo of the inside of a hotel from a magazine. I can't remember what mag is was, something aspirational probably. I can't recall where it was taken either, probably a French hotel I think. Anyway, it was rather tricky to construct the pic, I messed up the perspective a bit, but it was such a magnificent angle and scene I just HAD to use it.

31st of August, 2007 News:

Sand in your pants!! That's the title of this humorous pic by Sarah Nelson, the artist behind the long running Vampire Phantasm, the long running and much loved as well as much re-started Vampire star comic of Drunk Duck! This is what happened to poor Pinky after the sandstorm!.

Extra
I participated in the comic remix. Click bellow to see my version of a page of Darth Mongoose's Frenetic manga FanDanGo. And also an amazing and extra sexy version of a Pinky TA page (the green one's nice) by Crave the Bullet of Between Failures!

Ok, this page is almost ready, I just need a nap before I can get the colours right.. Here's a preview on the left.
There will be lots of news to update... I have great fanart from Sarah and my comic remix page was done! I did FanDanGoh, a fully digitally painted (rather than drawn and painted) page! It turned out great and only took a few short hours after work to do. The guy who did my Pinky page made it look 10 times sexier! I'll need to get the links up when I finish doing the latest Pinky page!

Last week's news for the archive:

24th of August, 2007, Latest News:

More late stuff, it's getting worse again! This time I blame my failing drawing skills and poor imagination. Hey, Pinky finally has a real name here though! That's pretty cool right? -Tatyana Anova

Oh man, I'm SO tired! I forgot how to draw again. This is getting worse, my figure drawing is deteriorating badly... I can't even draw FACES now for f***s sake! Even my architecture detail was rough and uninspired... Ah well, the line drawing is done but I still have to blob in all the colour and text. I could finish it today, but I think a Friday finish is better to save my brain :P
There are some old faces in this page as well as a cameo by Colonel Gadafi just because I thought it'd be sort of funny... I mean, it is Libya, even if that was a long time before he was born.
Meh, I'm crap at drawing, maybe I should take up painting again? That'd be funny since I always found drawing easier, now it's painting that seems more fun, free, expressive, and even more accurate funnily enough.

Ok, this the news from last week:

19th of August, 2007, Latest News:

Ah, it's difficult to find your feet in a new storyline when you've been caught up in another one for so long. Not to mention the different colour schemes, character designs, and drawing those damn complicated mecha again. The Screen was based on an Art Decco design by Frank Brangwyn. Pinky's Room design was inspired by a photo of a 1930's bathroom at Claridges.

Ha! I forgot to update my page... whoops...

Fanart
This well studied Pinky in tank commander's outfit was done by the maddest of mad Scotts of Madscott and especially The Gigcast fame!!!! The Gigcast man, why the hell aren't you listening to the greatest webcomics podcast in existence? WHY?

Archived News:

9th of August, 2007 News:
This is the cover for Part 7, depicting scene from the story, a bit of an action shot. This story takes place a few months after the events in chapter 5, and a few years after chapter 6 (which was a bit of a flashback). When I was drawing Pinky here I was tired and fell asleep, when I woke up I saw how crap she looked in a pic that I thought I had finished, so I rubbed her out and started again-lucky I still had an earlier sketch to work from.

6th of August, 2007 News:
JEBUS! This is the latest I've been this year I think! Ugh! I forgot how to draw again (this happens every few weeks it seems), so I had to redo this thing over and over. I'm so sorry for being late! Then I got sick over the weekend so I was buggered for another two days (nightmare sinus pain, worst ever). I'm sort of happy with how it turned out. This is the end of part 6, next up we go back to the "present", a few months after Part 5 left off. Dave looks a bit like Richard Z. Kruspe from Rammstein in the 3rd panel… only a teeny bit. And those jackets look a bit too 'Star Trek' for my liking!

-OtherNews:
News this week; Well, there's the Wallpapers (in my Pinky Gallery) I did and sort of advertised last week, I'll advertise them again now because I like 'em! Plus, this week's vote incentive for Top Web Comics is another special wallpaper you just get by voting (eh, it's a cut and paste job but I think it's cool). I decided to leave that wallpaper pic up… ^_^ Other news; YAY, I got Book 1 and 2 of The Gods of Arrkelaan as well as the 3rd book, Myths and Legends. They make GREAT bed time reading, it's a story you can really sink your teeth into, makes Pinky TA look like baby stuff in my opinion. They're great looking books too, if I ever print out Pinky TA I just hope it'll come out as good as that!

So, as the most recent news states, my main site it down at the moment. Drunk Duck is once again a dead duck. Lucky I have my own domain name... At the moment it goes to my Ozoneocean site. Man, it took me a few hours to upgrade things a bit and fix them at my other sites so they were up to date with the improvements on the main site at Drunk Duck, But I'm fairly happy with it all now. And I can log in and update my Keenspace account again as well now! Yay! Some bug there meant that you had to log out of you FORUM account and then log in again before you could update your comic... heh, about as unintuitive as the help system at Drunk Duck! hahaha! -now if only those "help" e-mails at DD actually went somewhere... *~*

==========================================================
3rd of August, 2007 News:

This week's update is running late right now and my main site (www.PinkyTA.com) at Drunk Duck is down at the moment so I'm redirecting the domain here for now. in the mean time you could check out the funky new wallpapers in my Pinky Gallery! ^_^

26th of July, 2007 News:
I wanted to do this one quickly. It wasn't quick though… the little panels went fast but I kept making mistakes with the main panel! Why is it that rough drawings always look 1000 times better than stiff, traced-over finished pics? I dunno… I had to keep Killing the "finished" versions and go back to the rough one. What a pain! That's why this is late. I also had an unexpected work shift too, which slowed me.

Fanart!
Mistchiff of the truly amazing action manga that is Steel Staccato created this sexy futuristic Pinky as a reward for me being Number ! at Drunk Duck. ^___^
You should check out Steel Staccato. This strange Manga style story comic has amazing action sequences and brilliant perspective and angles on figures that I'd be frightened to even attempt!

24th of July, 2007 News:
~Ah, this was a fast page to draw, it only took a few hours to do the entire thing. Colour took longer because I was too sleepy. More reference was used for the horsy head.
  Well, I finally put this page up here and not just at www.PinkyTA.com, but I've got space issues so the pages in this chapter (like the older chapters), are all hosted in my NightGig gallery, which will make them slower to load. This will have to be the case until the next chapter unfortunately. Ah, I've just put up more pages than usual, that's the trouble.

Ah, the only part I used reference on here was the horse's head because I forgot how to do horses… Everything else was imagination and memory That guy don the bottom looks evil doesn't he? Well he's not really, a lot of desert peoples tend to age fast… I hope I didn't twist his face around too much, working from imagination isn't really a good idea. I HATE THOSE TANKS! -too much stress doing them

4th of July, 2007 News:
Very late this time. What happened was that I just lost the will to work during the drawing stage. One of those mild depressions hit me and I couldn't really do much. But here it is finally! There aren't many pages to go before the end of this chapter, yay! Almost done with it!!! Then it'll be on to the next story which connects to the other chapters parts (1 to 5), as well as this prequel story.

27th of June, 2007 News:
Late again. Sorry. I was talking to SpANG about the spammy new add thing that's been stuck under everyone's comic at Drunk Duck. Ah well, that made it take longer to finish stuff off. Not much happens in this page, but you see a good image of PINKY! It's about time we had one of those.

Anyway, speaking of SpANG and adds, check out this deal: advertising on The Gods of Arrkelaan costs $10 for a whole month with a gigantic "skyscraper" add, that's not a bad deal… So I'm pimping it out for them since I've booked up two months myself, I think there are two spaces left. Worth getting, they're a popular comic here at DD. I made an add for their add, click on it to get an add.

18th of April, 2007, Latest News :

Done on time again, but this page took longer. I had other stuff to do that interfered and I was stubborn about not using references, that's why the figures in the top panel are so stiff and unnatural. I just couldn't nail it. Happy birthday to me for last Monday ^_^

11th of April, 2007 News:
Yet another page done on time. How do I keep to the schedule when for so long I couldn't? It's a mystery. Not a bad page to do, most of the poses are pretty basic, the background didn't require much effort and the colour scheme is the same as the last few pages –I'm sure that contributes to making it faster! -last week's special is now in full colour.

4th of April, 2007 News:
Check this out! it's a special pic to celebrate 100 pages of Pinky TA on Drunk Duck! I've gone back to my fantasy art roots for this, Pinky as a sword and sorcery warrior maiden! It could even fit in with a future storyline somewhat, since Pinky's mum deals with the spiritual… Adventures on another plain?

28th of March, 2007 News:
Amazingly this single panel page was actually finished on time and only took about a day or lessto do. Cool. Meanwhile I've joined the Drunk Duck Civil War! It's pretty cool, a whole lot of comic creators there are picking sides and making themselves into characters to fight it out! More into on the Civil War forums. My character pic for the civil war is on the right there.

25th of March, 2007 News:
Um, I've just been made one of the admins of Drunk Duck, in order to help out better with the site. Getting up to speed with that slowed me down a little in some areas, so that's one of the reasons for the huge delay in finishing this page. The other things was getting carried away with colour as usual! :)

11th of March, 2007 News:
Ok, About my massive delay and absence here: I had a nasty migraine for a few days, it was over 42 C for a couple of days too, so that didn't help. And then I was enjoying a break away from DD and played a bit of Battlefield 2. But most especially the games that grabbed me were Boxhead Zombies! YEAH. These are Flash games, you HAVE to play them, they're SO fantastic! So, try the fun Boxhead Zombie Rooms and the Much, Much cooler Boxhead Zombie MORE Rooms. Brilliance.
