so i havent posted in a while, and i have a bullshit reason for doing so: i cant REALLY post too many more of the pages im working on, because i dont want to spoil the comic im working on, "The Templar". sorry, but i just worry that if everyone sees it on DeviantArt, there will be no incentive to purchase, and if you dont purchase, i cant buy new pencils to draw the next volume; its a cycle, you see. however, if you wish to help the project along, http://sandgroperindustries.deviantart.com/ and i have started a Kickstarter post, located at the address below: http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1859658387/the-templar-written-by-shane-bell-ar

yes, im back, and damn it, someone should kick my ass for not being here. i go out of my way to thank everyone for supporting my work, and i up and stop posting. ladies and gentlemen, thats what we call being a hypocrite, and i apologize. anyway, ive been shockingly busy as of late (lame excuse, im aware, but shut up and let me elaborate). my australian benefactors have been doing some rewrites, and ive been doing concepts and studying to compensate for the time. now we're rolling along at a better pace and hopefully i'll be getting shit up here much more often. on top of the australian fare, ive also been delving into old works and rehashi
