Added a bunch of new banners in the links.
Admitedly the updates have been muffed a bit as of late,
but we seem to be getting back on track. Not only that
but at some point in the near future there shall be an
update per day to catch up.
In addition, since the Current Book 0 is going to be
quite long i might take a break from it at the 48 mark
and start the "story so far" segment of Book 4
before returning to 0 again. That should last about 12
pages.
Oh and we won't be redoing as many pages for Book 3, but
we're still gonna redialogue Books 1 and 2.

New image in the Image section. We're also
adding some links in the Links section as well, including
my mate David Bircham's new comic Alien Ink. Check it out.

Sorted our shit out at last
So yeah 12 pages a
month roughly on Thursday, Friday and Saturday (this week
and next week bit different as i just need to catch up
after the scenario on Thursday but we're still keeping on
track).
I also pulled off a 6 page short that will be coloured
in. I should warn you it'll offend just about everyone.
But the point is as opposed to say 16 pages a month we
will have 18 pages. Shytzors.
My plan is to have a bare minimum of 12 pages a month but
also work on Illustrations and mini comics. Both of which
shall involve colour.
Other things on the agenda.
a) For new readers, Book 0 is the best place to start to
get a feel of the comic only its not finished yet. Book 1
is there in its entirety but I'm actually going to go
back and "re dialogue" most of that comic and
book 2 to put it in the current context. It doesn't have
an introduction in the same vein Book 0 is trying to
achieve either.
b) gonna redo about 10 pages of Book 3
c) as part of book 4 (or the end of book 0 i dunno) I'm
going to do a "story so far" segment that
retells the first 3 books in bullet points with new info
and intros included.

Fixing one last kink before uploading
tommorow.
15/06/10
You might notice that i've been posting the
same artworks in the comic section as i do in the image
section. Mostly to again assure peeps that i'm alive and
kicking, and for that webcomix counter down below. But i
will be deleting these copies(and probably a bit of the
other junk as well) as of next week when the updates
resume as normal. Cheers.
09/06/10
And now we have an image section, recycling
the sketchbook thing we used to have. This of course
means i deleted the old crap because i'm both evil and
full of self loathing of anything before 2007. Hyuk Hyuk!
02/06/10:
Just been doing more tweaks to the sites
design. Managed to have this same news section to be
included in the Comics page as well now. Apparently there
was an easier way though than the way i did it based on
the Comikaze functions. Since nothing was working for me
at the time, plus my Admin is practically AWOL at the
moment, I just went ahead and did what was the most
comfortable.
The other tweak is adding a favicon to the sites. As far
as design goes the website won't change too much,
although for the titles i would like to replace that with
images with the logo a bit like the old days.
We also have a Merchandise page now in the store section
courtesy of CafePress, although it currently represents
TukeWorks more than Genma. It's a bit cheaply put
together but its delivery rates must be better than my
"inhouse" productions so better than a kick in
the head. Plus it has got cool stuff there, so if you
wanna save me from having to dance for my dinner please
pop down there and grab some goods.
As far as comic production goes it seems to be hunky
dory. What i've decided on as well is that there will be
bonus mini comics in the archive page to help make things
easier to digest. In the meantime i will be adding some
random crap to ensure everyone i'm still alive. Whilst
funnily enough getting rid of some crap.
And yes Bristol was cool. Check the Facebook for more
details.
22/05/10: I will be
popping down the Bristol Comic Convention tomorrow, more
as a guest than as a promoter. I'll have copies of book
01 and book 02 handy but none of the other bits and bobs
sadly. But yeah i shall be aiming for a productive good
time, meeting other artist and possibly punching the two
of three idiots in stupid costumes. Should be fun.
I might be putting Genma Visage on a mock hiatus as i
sort my shit out over here. It's not so much that i won't
be working on it anymore, quite the opposite. But i won't
be doing GV related updates for bit.
Reason being is i want the update rate to not only be
more plentiful (4+pages we week) but also have an over
90% chance of being updated on set days during the week
rather than less than 50% chance of it happening on
various days towards the weekend. The last minute
down-when-its-done basis just isn't working when there's
lot of crap happening in the present.
To fill in the gaps between then and now, there might be
more of the Arseburger series. That's right, Rock Diggler
and Incubiman are coming back to town. Also look out for
the store that's going up in the next few days. It'll be
fragging awesome.
Over and out - Tuke

And a Happy St Georges day to boot!
04/04/10: Happy
Easter
1/04/10:
Tweaked around with the menu a bit but for some reason
the store button disappeared. My bad. I've Just put it
back.
30/03/10:
Just got back from the UK Webcomix Thing. You can find
the report here . Special thanks to all those
that helped out and customers who bought me stuff, and Matt who let me use his extension
cord. Will have Sketchbook story thing i did uploaded and
new books on sale in the store shortly.
05/03/10:
Tweaked the design of the website a bit. Added new
opening piccy.
12/02/10
Added some guest comics i did into the archives. For the
last 5 pages of Book 3 I'm gonna start uploading tommorow
and add one perday until Monday.
03/12/10
Been working on a few things at the mo. First
announcement is that "Get in the Ring" will be
available in preorder format next week with an official
release date available fairly soonish (or available when
its announced). The news being that i'm going to complete
the Horror punk collection at some point. That is to say
apart from Genma Visage and Heatpits i am going to do a
remake of THE comic i did 12 years ago that started it
all off; Demonic Terror. Stay tuned.
13/01/10:
Hope you all had a nice christmas and a happy new years
eve \ day. I've been getting over a rotten cold for the
past week but otherwise alright. Apart from the next new
page or two since i'm near the end of the current book (7
pages after these 3) i'm really tempted to just upload
them in bulk when they're all done so that i can finish
off the current other things as well. After that will
follow a Book 0 for new readers, or something with a
genuine introduction\ first issue quality
A friendly reminder of the upcoming UK Webcomix thing of
2010 where there'll be a rough 5+ books available on the
table. And also if you want quicker news i'm on Face book
(just run a search for Genma Visage and you'll find me
there).
15/12/09 Store page adjusted so that the menu is on here
as opposed to Myspace. Merry Christmas if i don't get a
chance to say it again.
15/11/09:
Been dealing with the server problems as of late but have
got things back online, along with several new pages and
more free time (ha!) to work on the comic. The comic
archives also include other comics to spice things up a
bit. You'll also notice that store thing on the top right
so that you can buy the extended printed versions of the
books online as well. Happy days are here again.
20/08/09: Making preparations for a week's holiday this
week so no update today. When i get back one can expect
double to triple the normal amount that i upload. Will
also upload some older comics on the archive screen such
as the Incubiman short i did prior to GV.
All the best and thanks- Tuke
