I'll make you a deal....

I'll make you all a deal. I have Windre sitting around, being pretty but not getting alot of attention.
Then I have The Love and Life of a Guinea Pig all done, except for dragging my english majour up to go through the comic and fix my many typos and grammerical errors that I didn't notice (see see, difference between me just randomly posting stuff like DitLoaC and actually expecting people to spend money on my work like Windre).
I will upload BOTH... hold on, my tamagothic is beeping at me, where was I? Oh, right, I will upload BOTH of the stories to the fanart section, if I get twenty, that's right TWENTY e-mails, from you, the readers! No, one of you can not just send me twenty little e-mails saying hello. Twenty different people, all asking for the comics, and why I should upload them.
According to my counter I've got at least a hundred individual readers, so assuming that's right, that means that only one in five has to send me an email requesting the comics.

Yes, yes, I can hear you all grumbling. But I was originally hoping that my work was liked enough to warrant people buying it. Since that's not the case, I can at least hope it's worth a few minutes out of your day to request the pages.

So that's the deal, take it or leave it!

Pictures!

In the earlier post, I mentioned I would try to get "bigger and better" pictures of the images in the products. Well, here they are!

The Dangers of browsing

It's dangerous to go browsing around a site. As a woman, I eventually find something "I have to have"
As my current laptop bag's main zipper broke, when I saw the messanger bag at cafepress, it was a long battle with "You're broke, and can sew. Fix the damn zipper yourself!" vs "But it's new, and I can blatantly walk around with DitLoaC advertising!"

Since, sadly, the bag only comes in yellow, I ended up doing a DitLoaC logo, with Lucy sitting on it. It's actually a really cute picture, in my opinion.
Along with my "drawing stuff for the purpose of putting it on stuff" I made three other pictures: Yitsana and Litalra holding hands, which was placed on the back of a sweatshirt (that I WOULD buy, if it cost less then thirty dollars. I'm broke, and as worn as my Naruto sweatshirt is, it's still in good condition, so I'll just mope over my laptop. I really rather like the picture. Yitsana reminds me of the 20's) and Litalra looking weird on a notebook cover. If anyone's curious, you can look at the stuff here: http://www.cafepress.com/ditloac
At least take a look at the back of the sweatshirts, I am rather proud of it. I wish you could see the detailing I did on the bands of lit's skirt. I'll try to upload that picture later as well.

I talk to much.

I was just wondering.....

I expect chapter four to be rather long. With that said, I have a few questions to those of you who enjoy DitLoaC enough to read the news box.
I'm starting to work on preliminary ideas for a compilation book of the current DitLoaC story (as in, when the tale of Yit n Lit is all done, there'll be a hard copy in case anyone's interested.)
One of the things that was suggested, was I go back and redo all the pages that don't have the "current" speech balloon style. Other then that, full character profiles, and an extra twenty page short of what would happen if Yitsana was a magical girl story tossed in at the end.
I'm at a loss for what else to do to make the book more enticing. The book will be all b&w so I'm wondering if I shouldn't include the colour excerpts, for fear they might lose something when they go b&w. I was also going to redo all the chapter covers, so they'll span two pages.
But what else would you, the readers want in the book?
Also, should I have one version that's just esentially a hard copy of the ones up, and then another of the aforementioned "fancy" version mentioned above?

Any feed back would be great! Sorry for always having such long news box thingies!

Panel one reminds me of Star Trek First Contact, and Ryo was infinitly to trusting.
I like Rez's eyes, but nothing else. Hehe. Fangs are fun.

So now you know a little bit more about Rezen and Ryoten. One went on to be a general in Hell's Army (in charge of internet/computer division), and the other is on his way to being an Arch Angel. *shakes head*

Ryoten, you look like a girl. He just needs a vase of roses tossed on him and he could be in his own shoujo series.

Windre is out!

I just got the mail, and guess what was in it?! The first copy of The Curse of Windre, a Fairy Tale of Sorts! After going through it, I was relieved to find that I wouldn't have to go back and fix anything (which made me happy on two counts 1. Cause I'm lazy, and 2. Because it was bloody expensive, especially considering how broke I am!) So since the comic is good to go. Here's the link in case anyone was interested in getting a copy. I apologize for the price. I think it's ridiculous as well. But other then the fact that you get the comic, it comes wrapped in a styrofoam sleeve, shrinkwrapped to a piece of cardboard. So it's in uber mint condition, right off the press!
My biggest fear was that the pages would end up being printed like the sample pages, considering how terrible they looked, I spent the ensuing five days worrying. But, nope, it looks like it did on the screen, cept on paper. So it's all good. I hope some of you will order the story, and if you do, let me know what you think. Thank you!
OH! Right, link link.... *digs around the net* Here ya go!:

That SHOULD be correct.
