From www.comicbookresources.com

This is some sad news. Mike Wieringo was an incredible artist. Currently his web site is down (at about 3:30 central) but when you do get a chance look through his sketches and his “How-To” articles.

The comics industry has lost one of its most respected members this weekend – artist Mike Wieringo has passed away at the age of 44, according to numerous sources speaking with CBR News. Details are unclear right now, but early reports say he experienced a sudden and massive heart. Newsarama is reporting that Sunday afternoon Wieringo experienced chest pains and did call 911, but first responders were unable to reach him in time.

You can see more of his work on Deviantart as well

Found on Comixtalk.

From day one I have taken care to make sure that I never miss an update for Crimson Dark. It didn’t take me long to realise that this was going to become very difficult if I kept to a thrice-weekly update schedule, so i changed to twice-weekly to make sure that I wouldn’t be comprimising the quality of the comic. Since then I’ve been hoping that I might come to the point where I return to my original schedule, and I’m delighted to announce that I have reached that point (for now at least).

I’ve put in a lot of extra hours over these past few weeks and have built up such a sizable buffer that I’ve decided to put up an extra page every week until the end of Chapter 4. As well as satisfying my overwhelming desire to move the story forward, I’m hoping this will complement the story as chapter four approaches its climax and the pace quickens. Therefore expect new pages on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays.

When Chapter 4 ends there will be the usual week of filler, followed by chapter 5 which will return to the standard Monday/Friday schedule until I’m able to get back on top of things.

Good Luck David
