Thanks to the series page, my website has doubled the number of hits per month so far. That makes me feel pretty good. My fan count is up to 58 now. It was slowly climbing before, but now it seems I have a new fan every day or every other day. Yesterday I had 31 hits on my site. Today, I've had 25 hits before 1:00pm. I'm not sure exactly sure how to interpret this information yet, but hopefully it means good things are on the horizon. Thanks again, Tom!

So if anyone out there is interested in buying a T-shirt, and you just don't like the shirts that are currently there, let me know what kind of shirt you want, and I'll do my best to put one up.

Anyway, now for the December edition of the Chanter Tales news. I'm trying to work on it every day. Unfortunately it's only about one third of the way finished, maybe a little more --I think. It's hard to tell. I have it divided up into sections in my head, and some sections may be larger than others. Hopefully I can get another third done this month, if not the whole thing.

I've fulfilled my quota of one cartoon per month this year, that is, if you count the Blamformers collab. I'm counting it. So as far as animation goes, it's all Nuok for the rest of the month. This Monday, I plan on going over to my friend Brian Zuk's house to record some lines that will develop Loric's character in future episodes. It just occurred to me that I never revealed his name in the first two episodes. I'll have to make sure to do that at some point... But I need to record Brian's part before I can complete the next scene. For now, I think I'll work on the backgrounds for it. So I have to animate an argument between Nuok and Loric that will characterize the Chanter culture a bit, and then there are two encounters with the hunter who is after Nuok, which could be complicated. Those are the bench marks I'll reveal, so, anyone who cares will be able to gage how far along I am in future posts.

Now I'm going to Dunkin Donuts for something hot to drink... When I get back, the animation will resume...
