Asking for questions/comments regarding Henaji/the Aether (world of Henaji). Thinking about doing an Ask the Aetherial section. Of course, you can always comment with your questions, and I'll answer them. First question I'll answer is:
What's with the spotty updates lately?
I've been working a full time job as a medical aide for someone with cerebral palsy and dwarfism. She only has one hip and is permanently confined to a wheelchair. The hours themselves were surprises because one of her aides quit on her (the one who had her most of the day), and so I had to pick up those hours plus some because the other aide is very close to her due date.
Disclaimer: I'm not blaming either of these for anything that may or may not have arisen due to their conditions. Circumstances were just not right. I actually like working the full day with her, but I was not prepared to do so this week. My bad. I've adjusted now, and I find this job to be one of the most enjoyable I've had so far. I'll be working with her until August of this year (2013 for those of you reading the Archives). That doesn't mean I wont' update. I'll update and post that I've updated for people following me on Twitter/Facebook/Reddit/Tumblr. Spare time will be spent drawing extras and the like.

Henaji history
Been getting a lot of emails asking about the nature of Henaji and how it came to be. For those people, I say keep following the story, and all will reveal itself. However, here are some behind the scenes tidbits.
I originally came up with the idea of Henaji when I was in college completing my Animal and Dairy Science degree (yes, there are actual degrees for people who want to raise animals and milk cows for a living). I was in a relationship with two different people, and a lot of people saw this as strange. Being a person whose jealousy isn't triggered by the number of people involved with someone's significant other, I found their monogamy equally strange. So I came up with the concept of the Aether.
The Aether is a fantasy alter-dimension of modern day Earth. They're still mostly in the feudal era, but there are urban cities and rural villages. In the beginning, the Aether and Earth were one and the same, but as time went on, the elder gods saw Aetherials exploiting and harming humans: their pet creations. So they decreed that the two should be separate until such a time as they could coexist again.
Flash forward to Henaji and the current storyline. The elder gods are aware that their children the Aetherials have been very lax in their interpretation of their earlier decree, and as such, decided to open the borders so to speak. They would sponsor institutions such as Henaji in order to foster successful human-Aetherial relations (ignoring tales of such relations going hopelessly awry).
And so we have the present day Henaji, run by Raven and her cohorts.
Comic resumes Tuesday!

Shaeyera caught a cold!
One more sleep and I'll update with two comics. Sorry. Caught a chill in the room I was staying in and had to nip that in the bud. Meanwhile, here's some of my older art from tiamatshapeshifter.deviantart.com
Ice/fire mage. Named Shaeyera. I play on farstriders.
So yeah. I was on a WoW kick for a bit. More fanart and artwork of my characters at tiamatshapeshifter.deviantart.com.

Scanner issues
As in, I don't have one right now because I'm not at home, but I'll post the next comic as soon as I can.

Page 11- Kiss me, fool, if you care.
Tried a couple of new things. Might keep doing my own lettering and bubbles, might not.

New post Tuesday
No, Henaji's not going anywhere soon. I go home and my family wants me to do everything they don't want to do. Go figure. Not complaining, but I suddenly don't have a lot of me time. And I love my me time. It's when I draw and script. Expect a post Tuesday.
