Man I got a late start on this one.

Anywho, this’ll be the last page in the dark forest. The next page will be in Raven’s Nest coffee shop.

I feel like I have more to blog about but I ant rememper any of it.

_Love

getting into some more streamtimes
Stream done. The page will be up tonight. Thanks guys!

….aaaand back.

Oh my god, guys. I am so fucking sorry.

Since last I updated I have:

-Packed up my things and moved from Colorado back out to Oregon.
-Spent a week in a hotel while I and my roommates searched for a 3 bed apartment within our price range that was close to work and school.
-Started taking classes at my new school.
-Found a sweet-ass apartment and started the application process.
-Moved into my new place and out of the hotel.
-Scrambled to catch up with comics and commissions.

Again, I do apologize, but I’ve had a lot on my plate recently. I’d like to thank everybody who is still on board, and especially thank those who dropped by now and then to leave a comment or two while I was out. It really does mean the world to me.

As for the people who were waiting on commissions, I am also so very sorry. It took a bit longer than usual to get those to you, but I honestly got them done as fast as I could. There was actually a huge spike of commissions as soon as I took off to leave town. I did everybody’s in order of when they requested it, and now I only have one left.

This particular commissioner requested a full color with background of Chief Samantha Cobalt. I’ll be working on finishing that all day today in an effort to finish it before tomorrow and I’m gonna try and stream as much of that process as my internet connection will allow me, so check back now and then today to see whats up.

Thanks again to all the people who have been commissioning me. (It’s pretty much my only source of income while I look for new employment.)
Sorry again to everybody for the recent delays.
Thanks to everybody for bearing with me.

_love

UPDATE

Last commission done!

You guys have been rad with these comisions. I’m gonna have to raise the price on the Full Colors a bit soon, so you might want to take advantage of it while it’s still $15.

Thanks everybody!

I’m still staying in the hotel by the airport, so the next page is going take a bit longer. I start classes again today and it takes me an hour to get to school from here. But the page is all sketched out so all i need to do is ink and color it.

Anyway, thanks for bearing with me!

I have a place now! Hooray!
I don’t have a desk yet but at least I can get back to work on finishing the next page and the commisions.

Sorry about that. More or less back on track now.

Back in the forest for two mre pages and the it’s off to a complicated coffee shop. That should be a nice change of pace.

Sorry for the wait on this one. I think I put too much thought into this one.
The layout is supposed to represent the bustling in the forest while Eliot is deep in thought, kicking coals around in what used to be the fire. It was damn near perfect before I added color, but I saved as best as I could.

I’m getting ready to move back to Portland in a few days. Still don’t have a place to stay yet, but I’m sure I’ll figure it out.

See you soon.

Fun Fact #1:
This page has the most teeth I have ever drawn on one page ever.

Fun Fact #2
This is the third week in a row that Root Rot has updated on in on Saturday. I am very proud of myself. Hopefully I can keep it up.

Fun Fact #3:
Regular commenter, Seros Senric, made this thing. It’s a fun little holiday game thing.

Fun Fact #4:
There is an Invader Zim marathon on TV and I’m so excited because I left my DVD set in Portland along with the rest of my DVDs and have been without them for a few months.

-Happy Holidays

UPDATE:

This one gonna be pretty great. Gonna be starting around noon PST as usual. you guys should definitely  tune in for this one.

Dunzo.
Thanks Everybody!

Flashback time!
Funfact: I’ve seen every Nightmare On Elm Street movie except Freddy vs. Jason. (I’m waiting till I’ve seen all the Friday the 13th movies before I watch that one.)

So the next page is gonna be a super neat splash page. I’ll be streaming it this friday so that should be fun.

It’s gonna be like ten more pages before I get to draw something with daylight.

You guys are the best readers ever.

Some of you may remember me talking about how all my stuff is breaking a couple weeks ago. Well all that stuff is still broken. I’ve got running well enough to keep making comics for a bit but something needs to be done soon.

<——-{ My busted-ass wacom tablet.

So I’m going start doing commissions to try and raise moneys so I can fix my stuff.
I have been pulling in commissions here and there but I figure now is a good time to set up a few standard rates and actually start advertising.

SO!

In general rates are:

Character head shot [b/w] – 3$
Character head shot [color] – 5$
Character full body [b/w] – 5$
Character full body [color] – 7$
Full color scene with character and background – 15$
+ 5$ for each additional character

To set up a commission just email me at david(at)rootrotcomics.com

If you want something that isn’t covered above, like an album cover or even coloring line-art, just shoot me an email and we’ll work it out.

Thanks folks!

UPDATE:

STARTING A STREAM IN FEW MINUTES

All done. The next page should be up tomorrow, and I’ll be streaming again next friday. Same bat-time same bat-channel.

UPDATE:

wrote a little blog about commisions

and I’ll be doing another stream this friday.

UPDATE:

Just put up some new character sketches for the TWC vote incentive.
Ray is a medium. Tex is a tech.
————————————————————————-

And now everything’s blue again. Hey guys. Thanks for all your TWC votes! Root rot is sitting right around the bottom of the second page at the moment so keep it up.

http://topwebcomics.com/vote/11295/default.aspx

I’ll be swapping out the incentive sometime tomorrow.

Anyway, in the next couple page we’ll be taking a break from the forest location.
See you then.

That guy got totally magic’d.

Welp, guess I still can’t draw running people. I’ll have to work on that for a bit.

I’m in a bit of a rush at the moment so Im gonna keep this short for now but I’ll be back when the day is new and I’ll have more Ideas for you.
And you’ll have things you’ll want to talk about.

I will too.

-lurve

UPDATE:

So, as some of you may know, this comic doesn’t have a lot of readers. The other day, Serne Left a comment on the last page as an attempt to help solve the problem. The idea is basically to get as many people to vote at TWC this month as possible. The hope is that if half the people who visit the site vote everyday Root Rot could get on the first page. Now I had all but forgotten about TWC, but it still does send in a decent amount of traffic every now and then even with my low rank, and If Serne thinks it’s a good Idea well then gosh darn it so do I.
SO, I am now Officially Updating incentives again. It’ll mostly be concept sketches this and the next chapter. Right now the incentive is a little sketch of a future character named Jane.

You should go check it out. 

I have enough sketches lying around to update it every couple of days, so be sure to check back.

Now, some of you may remember the last incentive was going to be a mini comic. I got really busy one week and couldn’t work on it for a while and then completely forgot about it. Then, Vgracebutterfly was kind enough to remind me about it. ….and then I completely forgot it again. And now I simply don’t wish to pick it back up, so unfortunately the mini comic is no more until I have more time to work on those types of things.
I apologize to anyone who was interested in where the thing was going.

Anyway, if you have ten seconds, please vote. in fact you’re allowed to vote as much as everyday if you like.  It is very much appreciated.

okey dokey that’s it. You guys rock. Thing s are going well so the page might actually be done early, as long as I don’t bump my computer to much.

 UPDATE:

Hey guys gonna try and do another stream Friday. I’ll be coloring the next page. I’ll probably start up around noon PST. Hope some of you can stop by.

Streaming right about now

All done. Thanks doods!

So the battery on my laptop is busted. which wouldnt be so bad if the pow cord didn’t break connection any anybody looks at it funny and cut pow to my computer causing me to loose a bunch of work. And on top of that, my wacom tablet (which is held together with duct tape) likes to stop working at random and the only way to get it working again is to restart the computer.
managed to finish the page though, so I guess it could be worse.

Sorry I didn’t answer any comments on the last page. WordPress wouldn’t let me for some reason. It’s all better now though. I can start responding again from now on.
I think.

Ok thanks guys

-love

UPDATE:

Hey guys. Gonna try and get a stream going. Pop in for a bit and say hi

All done. Hows about I do another one this friday around noonish PST, yeah?
Yeah, friday.
