Well Jeez Louise, Hot Damn and What The Hell...
Urm, yeah. It's a new page. Sort of. After over a year of not posting, I've finally decided that I've got to put up what I've already got lying around...finished or not.
The fact is, my dear Friends and Fans, I do not have the time anymore to continue with a comic that takes 4+ hours per page to complete. Life in all its "terrible everyday" has taken over. (full time job, making money, making a family...you know.)
I'm so grateful to everyone who continually checks AK in the vain hope for something more. I owe you a depth of gratitude for respecting me as an artist and a storyteller, plus having boundless patience with me.
I'll try and at least finish the first volume...like I said one year ago. I'm not going to stress about completing tones and crap though, so you're just going to have to take it as it comes, whenever it comes.
I owe you all so much more, but unfortunately, this is all I can give at this time.
With my Sincerest Thanks,
Kurasune

Actually...no. It's raining cats and dogs out there today.
No Ai, Kanarazu page, unfortunately...I was very, very busy this weekend. But at least here's one for Summer's End.
Please check back same time next week for the next page. (and for you AK fans, I should have a page up mid-week.) Tanoshimini!

video_gamegurl--Thanks!
Sami--got your email! ^__^
A-san--I missed you too! Haven't seen you commenting lately...though I know I've been bad and not updating regularly.
This comic will have regular updates because they go by story and I have given myself a very conservative posting schedule. Also, they're not as time consuming as AK (no inking, massive toning, convoluted word bubbling, etc) so they shouldn't take as long to finish.

Hey guys!
Thanks so much for checking this out! ^__^
I'm hoping that I'll have another productive drawing weekend, in which case you can look forward to 2 pages next Monday.

Well, finally...LOL! An interesting fact: This point in the story was where I left off
drawing AK in my little sketch book and decided to make it an online comic. So, we've
come full circle, so to speak. Still many pages more till the end of Volume One though.
^__^
In other News: I've got a new comic!!
Well, it's actually more than one. It's an anthology of short stories.
Pages will be posted on a weekly basis for the duration of each short story. And don't worry, I'll be continuing AK at the same time.
Please check it out...and fav it if you'd like. ^_^

So, after vacillating for months on end about starting a new comic, wondering if I should
concentrate solely on Ai, Kanarazu, and toying with various story ideas...I finally did
it!
Welcome to Shorts, my collection of short stories.
This comic was started because I've been itching to put down on paper my story ideas, and also as a disciplinary tactic for how focussed I can make a comic. Short stories are amazingly difficult to write...but, practice makes perfect!
Enjoy!

Comment on SEASON'S GREETINGS of Ai, Kanarazu!

To all my friends and fans,
May your Christmas be full of happiness and joy, and your New Year's full of parties and booze...kidding, or maybe not. ^_~
I'm hoping to work on AK over my miniscule and almost non-existent Christmas break (I'm working today, joy of joys), but my eczema is flaring up again, so I can't promise anything.
Please enjoy this little Holiday greeting, and thank you all from the bottom of my heart for continuing on this journey with me...ai, kanarazu!

Anyway...here's another page, albeit a screwed up one. This is what you get for not working on your comics for a whole year. LOL! Urm...regarding the panel order...it STARTS OFF right to left, but ENDS UP left to right. Yeah. Sorry about that. I'll fix it another time. For now, please enjoy!
