I love fanarts. I really do.  I’m glad that people feel like drawing my wacked-out characters because it’s always fun to see someone else’s take on them 😀  These are courtesy of Ice_Sick_El, aka harmonykitty on DA.  Enjoy!!

Fun, right? I love adding new fanarts 🙂 Anyway, these are from two very talented folks!

Consistency

and …

Evan and Valerie Kiss

Evan and Valerie Kiss by Titiana

Enjoy, and thanks, ladies 🙂

Awesome new fanarts! Check them out on her page!!!

So I uploaded another chapter of Subterfuge on Media Miner. Enjoy!

Also, another fabulous fanart by vayne!! Ryomaru and Nezumi, looking as cute as always!

Since she’s done so many fantastic fanarts lately, I figured that the uber-talented vayne deserved a page of her own (see it on the site navigation list? yay!!

And a new one from her …

and a new wallpaper, too (available on vayne’s page, of course!)

********

Ah, goodness! I forgot to add this fanart by Titiana to the fanart page, and I’m so sorry I did!!!

and her newest one, too! Guys, please do feel free to give her a holler. Her work can be found on Media Miner.

Unfortunately, I’m having trouble with Vista and Frontpage, so it’s going to take me a bit to get the fanart added to the right page, but I wanted to share this … also, the wallpaper for the last fanart was reuploaded in a larger size, so enjoy that, too!

Anyway, here’s another fantastic fanart by the very talented vayne!

and another … this one is Mikio 🙂

Again, I’ll add them to the colored fanart page … as soon as I figure out this *&$%#@ issue …

EDIT: Fanarts added now!  Enjoy!!!

Just in: more fanarts from some awesome artists! Check the Fanarts (lineart) page for a great sketch of Morio by gmonique89 and a couple new ones by the ever-talented sozoteki.

Also …

“All in Good Fun” by jkd989

and …

   “The hEVAN” by vayne.

Those two can be found on the colored fanarts page, and thanks again!

So it always happens to me: this sort of sad, empty-ish sort of feeling whenever I finish a story or project.  Granted, I don’t really have that feeling so much when I finish a oneshot, but something a little longer, that takes some time and involvement?  Sure … It always does.

Having just finished Purity 8: Vendetta (the final chapters will be posted in the next couple weeks), I was taking a moment to look back on the stories thus far, and I wonder, you know?  How much of myself really does show in those?  How much of myself have I given away?  No, it doesn’t bother me; not so much, but it does make me wonder if anyone actually does quite understand exactly how much goes into the stories I write?  Let’s put it this way: if you want someone to read something and get out of it even a portion of what you’re trying to convey, you have to put a hell of a lot of yourself into it, to start with.

So, you know.

Anyway, there were a few surprises for me along the way; things that weren’t there when the story was first planned out.  Tanny wasn’t there. Really.  She just sort of cropped up, and I loved her.  She added about twenty extra chapters to the story, but that’s all right.  I think, in hindsight, that the story just wasn’t one that was meant to be told in fifty chapters or less.  It completely screwed up my own timeline, as far as what I wanted to do and have done this year, but that’s all right.  I think the end result was worth it; at least, it was to me.

And now … off to torment Evan, and I have to say that it’s going to be so strange, getting to focus on him for awhile.  He’s … well, he’s a lot of fun to write.  He basically does whatever he pleases and says whatever he wants, so he’s a fun guy, right?  Sure … let’s see if I can keep him on track, right?  Riiiiiiiiiiiight …

Let’s have a moment of silence for Vendetta … I’ll miss that story a lot.

Sooooooooooo I finally got off my lazy butt and figured I’d update … Let’s start with the big stuff, eh?

Avouchment is finished.  Makes me sad.  I love Griffin, so it’ll be hard to move on …

okay, or maybe not so hard …

The first chapters of both Purity 8 and Purity 9 are posted on Media Miner.  Purity 8 is going to be fairly intense to write, so I figured I’d break tradition and post some of 9 as I go so that I can trade off if I need to.  Don’t worry.  There isn’t much in the way of spoilers, so you’re good to go …

Also posted are new fanarts by sozoteki.  Be sure to check those out, and a huge thanks to sozoteki for your great work!!!
