Land of Night

Hello! My name is Sydney Cook and this is the tumblr blog for my webcomic, Land of Night. It updates mostly every thursday now and then. Anything related to Land of Night may be posted here.

A quick doodle form my sketchbook that I colored last night.

Wow, guys. It's really been a long time. I'd just like to let you guys know I'm still working on this comic. Since about October last year, I've just been inundated with projects. Since the summer started--between graduating, moving, applying for jobs, other illustration work, and being a person that has to talk to other people on occasion--this has really been the first time I've hit a sort of dead space with not all that much to do.

Thanks for being so patient with me! I just need a little bit of time to build up a buffer, but after that I should be able to pick up where I left off.

I think I mentioned it already, but finals are going on now and I've got quite a lot to do for the next two weeks including a 10 page printed and bound comic, which I will upload to my personal blog if you want to go read it. But I've also been doing these other comics all semester long. The lesson I learned this year was not to work on a webcomic while also taking a comic class. Comics are hard guys you don't even know. Unless you do in which case we can sit and share our mutual pain and cry for hours.

I've been trying for an hour to scan in this week's comic, but the scanner here doesn't seem to be working so this week's comic will have to be next week's comic I guess. Oh, the perils of traveling. ): I know the updates have been pretty erratic these past few weeks and they'll probably only become more so the further we get into finals. I probably won't get another proper update until Christmassss.

Updaaaaate?

Also wow these comics are getting less and less BLACK as the story goes on. :I

Kind of important: I think I'll be updating on friday now instead of thursday.

Just because it's a lot more convenient for my schedule. I happen to be a very busy lady. It'll probably help me post earlier in the day as well.

In consolation, here, have some Halloween doodles of characters you haven't met yet.

Update no. 8 is finally here! Click click!

A mix of life things and school things have hampered the speed at which I put out these pages. Sorry guys.I'm working on building up a buffer again, so I don't have these problems. :I

Want some EYEBURN to go with your candy?

YES. YOU DO.

A very bright departure from the monochrome stylings of LoN. Happy Halloween!

Geez, it's been such a long time! Page 7 is finally up. You can go read it here.

Midterms!

Everybody's favorite time of year! Sorry, but because I've been having midterms for the past few weeks, I haven't been able to keep up with my comic schedule (also because I have an actual comic class that's super demanding). Everything should have cooled off by next wednesday though, so I'll see you then with the next update!

Tomorrow will be the first update of Land of Night!

So I decided I'd be updating on thursdays. I'll probably be posting links here that redirect you to the pages on smackjeeves. School is going to be a little harsh on my schedule this year, so hopefully I'll be able to keep up a good pace until the holidays come.
