New Day.
12/23/08
- I know, I don't really update anymore. I did throw in some phantom pictures, but it's nothing new. Just material I had been planning for my idea of Robot.Man., something I'm not sure I want to get started on, though I've had fun with the visualization. You might notice that I did indeed finish the first draft run of TotL editing, and thank god I did. Man, those last two chapters had some real stinkers in there. ^^; But yeah, I feel much more complete with those done. I'll try to work on the side stories as well, but I'm not as worried where that's concerned, and I want to start moving on to new things as well.
- I don't really know how much more I can keep updating this website. I mean, it costs nothing to maintain, but at the same time I'm running out of space, and I don't really know if I want to put in the money/effort to make something bigger with my limited web skills. I'm sure I don't get many visitors anyways, another reason why I haven't been concentrating on further website development. But I think the main reason is that I'm ready to move on. I've really liked posting my things here online for free, but I want to try to do something publishable as well, and that means I need to start keeping things offline. I don't know how it will actually go, but... we'll see, I guess, na? Let's see where the future takes us. ^_^
06/18/08
- It's been a long time since I made an update, hasn't it? :P
I honestly have not done a staggering amount of work lately. Editing TotL has been progressing nicely, and I've been considering new projects on the horizon. 7day is literally a chapter and a half from completion, but I haven't touched it since last year when I realized that it wasn't very viable for publication. I'll finish it eventually, and maybe I'll just post it here to get it out. We'll see what happens. In the meantime, I have a new project to work on. And I must finish Higurashi. :D
12/03/07
- One new pic in the gallery
11/30/07
- Long time no update. I finished nano, but not the nano story itself, and as I mentioned earlier I will probably post little more than the first chapter for now. If I submit the damn thing and get rejected a million times, then yeah, I'll probably just post it here, but I thought I might actually try to publish a story I wrote for once. ^^;
I had forgotten that I arbitrarily named two totl characters (two of Fumiya's crew) Lastclaw and Martyr, so I ended up making real designs for them in the past couple days. They now grace the website's front page, but I also stuck a link in on the special, stealthy, ninja, story page. I think all I really wanted to do was trying drawing equipment-ladden soldiers (check) and Masamune Shirow-style guns (double check), but the more I look at the designs, the more I want to write a side story.
I'll try to keep myself in check. ^^;
09/07/07
- Updated the front page illustration. I've come to terms with not writing totl anymore, but instead of giving up completely, I started drawing conceptual art instead. It's actually pretty fun to do this, and I've been blazing through my sketcbook along with 7Day work and recent brainstorming for Nightmare City. I won't post this in the gallery, but you'll be able to find it on the site if you look. (It's not that hard... ^^;)
08/26/07
- Webpage for the Mashojo project is up. Added 1 new picture courtesy of Fei. ^_^
08/10/07
- Some big updates in the gallery that I've been meaning to do for a while. I just broke down and used the school's scanner. ^^; Anyways, 1 new totl pic, 1 new misc. pic, and 5 new designs for the upcoming Mashojo project. :D
07/01/07
- Some updates in the gallery. I finally grouped pictures together since it was getting crowded, and added a bunch of designs for Nightmare City, which will probably end up being my next project. I'll add another front page spread later on. The old one which was previously posted will soon be in the gallery as well.
06/26/07
- New chapter. Finished the extra chapters arcs.
- Divided up the front page a little more neatly.
05/09/07
- New chapter. "Ten-oh" arc is finished. ^_^
04/13/07
- 8 new pics in the gallery! I've been having weird luck with the scanner at school lately. That one time it came out crap when I tried to scan the "Eugene" pic, it was fine when I did the last Edge pic, and now there's weird shadows all over this one that I didn't have time to fix/redo. Ah, well.
At any rate, it's a lot of stuff for the extra chapters I've been doing. I actually did the Bahemot one at work. ^^; I... sort of got stuck on the third bottom tier, so don't take it too seriously, ne? Ne? ^^;
03/24/07
- I amused myself and made a totl logo which I put in the story section. Mostly I was just jealous of S's neato Tensai & Z splash page though. ^.^ Nothing special though. Just a nice, free font and reused art. I guess it could look like a silhouette of Cthulu now that I think about it... bah! >B I really should have done this sooner, just like most of the supplemental materials that I think about and conveniently ignore. ^^;
03/23/07
- New chapter. I guess I can't really say that it's TotL because it really isn't. First part of the "Ten-oh" two-part short that I'll be doing. I did a final listing of everything I'll be doing to wrap this up as well. Diary of an Endless War will most likely be the shortest and come last, but it will definitely be a good ending place. At any rate, hopefully I'll be able to finish up by the beginning of summer. Then I'll celebrate by gorging myself on Korean bbq in HK. ^.^ Ohohoho~ It's the small things in life that count. :D
02/17/07
- 3 pics in the gallery. After I finished TotL, I pretty much forgot that there were pictures that I had kept off the website to prevent spoilers. Maybe I put them in on the old carnation. I forget. I'm old, sue me. At any rate, they're up now. The Toy and Clef pictures are around 10 years old, but I still like the designs. The Yujin picture is one of my favorates. I probably drew it during the peak of my ability to ink. ^^;
- Some side stories may hit the site eventually. Bw convinced me to just go for 1,000,000 words, so hell. Why not? In the meantime, I've decided on a horror project which I hope to develop at least in time for nanowrimo, if not before. Well, it'll probably become my nano regardless since I always cheat. Yeah, I know. I'm a horrible person. :P
01/22/07
- It's been a couple of days now and my brain has cooled down after the massive brain fart of having finished a couple days ago. I'm so glad it's over. From here on comes the final editing I wish to do, which you may have noticed already (as the first and second chapters have been modified since the last update). I'm also trying to decide what my next project should be. I've been having trouble brainstorming, but I'm not putting any pressure on myself as well. Yet. I don't think I can even post a new story on this page. I already have 13 of 15mb filled from TotL. ^^; But I'll still update. I just need to get things moving again.
Thank you for everything. I hope you enjoyed the story.
01/18/07
- Final totl chapter. It's done. I will add some author's notes tomorrow.
10/14/06
- Reorganized the gallery (took out dead links, killed the esplanations) and added two pictures, one of which is a new one for the title page.
09/28/06
- New totl chapter. Yeah, it took four months. However it's also 130 pages long, so I guess it's a fair trade off. ^^; One more chapter to go... man.
06/03/06
- I'm stupid. I realized just now that I forgot to include a certain scene at the end of chapter 52 (after they leave, for those of you looking for the modifications) that could easily be ascertained as happening without the scene appearing in writing, but is totally ambiguous BECAUSE it doesn't appear in writing. Thus, I made a few modifications. Sorry for the confusion ^^;
05/30/06
- New totl chapter.
05/22/06
- Added the short story section to the site with "All we need is some ice cream and a hug!"
05/09/06
- Added the short story section to the site with "High Risk Maneuver."
04/16/06
- No activity in 3 months? That's pretty bad. Sorry ^^;
- New totl chapter.
- Er, I think I tried to upload a slightly edited version of 50 at one point, but accidentally deleted it. It's back up now ^^;
01/14/06

10/02/04
- It is October 2nd. The Johnny Holiday project has opened...
- It's the end of the year, and I've hit my goal of six totl chapters. If I can, I'm going to try to get chapter 42 done before 2005 since it's a much better stopping point than 41 is, but first I must turn my attention to nanowrimo for this year. A new link has been added on the front page for the new project, enjoy~
09/26/04

05/14/04
- SWEET GEEZUS IT'S A NEW TOTL CHAPTER~! WATAAAA~!!! p^o^q
04/13/04
- Not really an update, but rather, an announcement. I've run into a string of bad luck as of late, including but not limited to a car accident (thankfully, no casualties ><;) that totaled poor Reina Mark II (don't ask) as well as the recent explosion of my not-so-prized "Brand Wong" computer. Like every other starving college student, there's the other prerequisate bitchings (class, homework, thesis, rinse, dry, repeat), but I'm not going to bore you with that (my livejournal will do that for me ^.^). Honestly, I'm kind of on shakey ground right now, but I'm really thankful for those of you who still drop by this site to look at the things I've done. I may be somewhat absent until the end of the month due to the typical real-life BS, but I will be back again- just like I've always been~

07/31/03
- Three page comic preview in the gallery.
07/17/03
- (The following is also in my livejournal)
So my dad is basically like the dad from "Calvin and Hobbes;" ie. he'll bust out the whole "builds character" schtick when he wants to get you to do manual labor (in this case, painting the house and redoing the fence -_-;) Usually I kind of just cave in and do it... I am fairly dependent on him for the $$$. However, this time I informed him of my comic endeavors, and I received an ultimatum.
I have 15 days, starting today, in which I do not have to paint, but may work on my project. In exchange, I must sell my soul for the entirety of August. Yes, the latter will suck, but I saw no other way around it and took the deal. If it was just "Tatakae, Shoujouyo!" I could finish the job easily. But including all the work that I have left for AeD, I have the following on my back:
15 pages to pencil (AeD)
17 pages to ink (AeD)
13 pages to ink (TSy)
If I count each as a separate job, I need to do at least three a day in order to stay on schedule (although the TSy stuff is much easier to do than the others), but I'm shooting for four. Page updates will probably be minimal during this time period, and I'll probably be lurkerific, if around at all for these next two weeks. Still, it's something to shoot for, and I've promised myself that I would finish AeD by the end of summer. So wish me luck~ ^.^
