Pencil view [Currently on hold]
If you've never seen someone sleep in a toaster, dress themselves as a candle (by setting their head on fire), or get bitten by a crayon, then you haven't met Percy. And if you like calling people short and are still breathing, you haven't met Bill.
Feel the need to remedy this situation? Then read the adventures and silliness that is Pencil View. Remember, laughter is good for your health.

I's been a while...
Howdy there,
It's been a long time since my last update, but here it is:
Firstly I am almost at the end of my first semester of Uni (Huzzah), it's been very hard going, and I haven't done as well as I might have liked, but I'm hoping to do better next semester.
Also, Percy & Bill won round 3 of the 'Welcome to Nevermore Tournament', and are now in the Finals. It looks like it's going to be a close match as both my opponent and myself have little free time and are having to post simple pencil sketches rather than prettying everything up on the computer. For a while it looked like I'd have to forfeit in order to get assignments done, but fortunately the Host has been nice and allowed an extension. So whatever the outcome the Tournament will be officially over (and my completed entry *fingers-crossed* posted) on the 20th June and I will be veeeeeeery happy when it is.
What does this mean for the comic? Well, hopefully it means that I'll be able to continue it once this blasted Tournament reaches its conclusion. I'm not a fantastic artist or storyteller, but trying to keep Pencil View alive means I'm still working on my skills, and hopefully improving them. So Pencil View is not dead, just in stasis, and with any luck it'll be revived sometime this month.
Ciao

Head desk plz
Yes I'm a slacker I know.
My friend couldn't finish the pages, but I should have done something way sooner I know, so for that I apologize.
To make up for it though, I'll be updating 4 pages of comic over the next few days, I cannot guarantee when the next bit of chapter will come your way after that as I'm still in the Nevermore Tournament (the reason I needed gift arts, if you can recall) as Percy and Bill have made it to Round 3 (go team).
So, in the meantime, you can always check out those round entries on DA:
Round 1: Cold War (Lesley vs. Percy & Bill) - http://superferretix.deviantart.com/art/WtN-R1-Cold-War-Pg-01-176844170
Round 2: Sweet Dreams (Swetha vs. Percy & Bill) - http://superferretix.deviantart.com/art/WtN-R2-Sweet-Dreams-Pg-01-186424799
Their next opponent is an elven mage who is also part vampire, part lycan >.>' so it should be interesting.
So, sorry again for the delays everyone (and the lack of Christmas specials, or New Year specials for that matter...) this year is still destined to be busy, with Uni, operations, and this wretched Tournament dragging on for far longer than anticipated.
I hope everyone else has a good year though,

Is this thing on?
Hi everyone,
Yes another really late update, but this time Eternity9 was occupied with a whole heap of work, and unfortunately so was I, that and I decided to get migraines again, not as painful as in the past, but they made up for it (I couldn't remember the name of the Prime Minister for about 10 minutes, and various other names of fairly famous people, I actually had to ask for help on two occasions because I couldn't remember some names at all).
Anyway, I'm getting better, and her workload is easing up a little as Christmas approaches.
In other news, I'm now in the second round of the tournie I'm in, so I have another entry to create. However, this will be the last entry I make for this year, as , win or lose, I'm bowing out of the next round. It just hasn't been a very satisfying Tournament, the judges took a MONTH to judge 13 entries. Which is ridiculous, that, and they let someone win a round who didn't deserve to: A) they won by defying the laws of physics (did anyone ELSE know that lightning could catch on fire?? >.>') and B) We were specifically told that we couldn't change our entry styles mid-match, if we entered with a comic entry, we had to do the whole thing in comic, and the same for written entries, as, basically, otherwise it was unfair to everyone else, so what happens? After doing only 3 STANDARD sized pages they switched to a written entry because otherwise they wouldn't finish in time (despite the fact we had a month, and then another 2 weeks of extensions, even I managed more than 3 pages in that time, and you all know how bad I can be at making deadlines =P). So yes, a little annoyed, and I'll be starting Uni next year too...
To be honest, I'm not sure what will happen to Pencil View when I start my Uni course. As although I like that this is the first story that has actually gotten anywhere, I also know that it does take time to keep a comic going, and I'll be balancing a lot of course work, house work, and then my job too...I guess we'll see what happens, but ultimately, Pencil View would have to suffer first...not that it seems to matter at the moment since I’ve been away at a Tournament instead.
I guess we wait and see…who knows, maybe I’ll be out of a job by then and have more free time.
Well anyway, have a good year everyone,
~SF

We have lift off!
Huzzah,
E9 has finished the page. I thank you for your patience with us both.
Hopefully, the next one won't be so long in coming.

Alright,
It has been a very long time since the last update.
My friend said she'd be happy to do the gift arts, but she's apparently lost interest. She actually said she'd have the latest one done two weeks ago, but obviously that hasn't happened. I'm going to give her one more day and then I'm going to start doing my own updates again. It's a pity, because I really like what she's doing with my pencils (and quills, for that matter) but I can only wait so long. So I'm sorry, and I apologize to anyone who was a watcher of this comic, I didn't anticipate this from my friend, she promised me she'd be absolutely fine with doing about a picture a week.
However, I myself should have probably called her off her promise the moment things started back-sliding, so I am at fault as well.
Well, one way or another, there will be a new page up come tomorrow.
