Eight year... a long time, for a webcomic. I was 16 years old when I began this journey onto the wild, wild web. Meaning the comic's now half as old as I was when I started. It's been a wild ride. We's suffered highs and lows; successes and failures. Through it all, though, I've enjoyed everything I've done, and don't regret a minute of the time I've spent in front of my drawing tablet. I don't have much else to say on this occation, other than to thank you all for coming along for the ride with me. Who knows what the future will bring, but I hope this comic has brought you the kind of happiness I've enjoyed in making it. Here's to the next year - to new adventures and new memories.

For the last four years, every page of Twokinds has been created on a computer I built from scratch. With a 3.0GHz Core 2 Duo processor, 4GB of DDR2 RAM, and Geforce 8900GT graphics card, it was a sweet machine for it's time. But times change. Technology has evolved since then, and what was once a decent workstation has slowly succombed to the ravages of progress. Finally, after years of minor tweeks and improvements, last week I decided enough was enough.

Today, I'm proud to announce that the Twokinds Workstation has been completely overhauled! The case and power supply are same, but inside, it's a whole new beast. Sitting atop the new motherboard is a 3.4GHz i7 2600k CPU, 16 GB of DDR3 RAM, and a Geforce gtx 560 ti graphics card. All of these new components set my wallet back quite a bit, but I managed to get some good deals here and there, and they should now last me at least another 3 or 4 years, with any luck.

So, that's all well and good, but what does it mean for Twokinds? Well, it means working on huge projects at ludicrous resolutions are now a reality! And that's good for everyone. I may have been set back quite a bit financially, but I consider this computer a business expensive, and it should pay for itself in time.
