It's so much easier when I can upload new Mollies at a wifi place. This time we've got a bit of backstory on Evan Ellesmere (and Molly), and an abbreviated look back at the first day of this adventure.

What's really amazing is it's only been a week since my last submission, but by the deviation numbers, there's about a million more pictures here since then! A million deviations added every week?! No wonder rule enforcement seems random. How could it possibly be otherwise?

But I am contributing more than my share.

As of page 118, one out of every million deviations is a page of Molly Blue, and the proportion is slowly rising. It can't get any higher than 1 out of every 250,000 though, unless I speed up or the overall submission rate drops, neither of which is very likely.

I've been doing almost four pages every 7-10 days for awhile now. How the manga artists manage 18 pages a week, even with assistants doing backgrounds, mystifies me. Even working full-time, like every hour I'm AWAKE, it takes me a whole day to write, draw, ink, and color one of these. Unless there's barn rafter trusses or some other complicated indoor background problems.

I drew the inside of Evan and Kela's hut from at least five different angles, all the way around the circle. I found this considerably easier than all the rectangular rooms I've had to deal with before, like the mayor's living room, or the guard's room at the jail, probably because I live in a house with lots of (nearly) round rooms— I usually work either in the 16-sided polygon or the decagon.

I've been pretty sick the past several weeks with chest congestion or whatever, not real able to do much of anything but draw. I think I'm getting better now. Inspired by Kela's superior housekeeping, I vacuumed the floors.
