- I really don't. Not here, anyway.
I also don't log in very often and only rarely read (or comment on) anything on my firends' page. This does not mean that I don't like my friends, but I like to communicate using other (more, to me, personal) means than posts and replies through LJ. I guess I'm very old-fashioned when it comes to all this blog-intarweb-thingymajick. I never meant this journal to be for personal stuff, really, just for update information about Tales Untold and the like.
So will I actually start using the journal and post drawings and updates and such? I'm not really sure at this point. This post, at least, serves to explain that I'm still around, just not using my LJ. :-)

LJ pimpage:

grae_life - G.R.A.E. A study in self-exploration? A neo-gothic vampire novel? A personal diary of a young writer? A crusade to make the world a better place? A roleplaying game? Maybe a little of each?
monochromeworld - Monochrome World. Information and drawings related to G.R.A.E. and the other journals by writers in that "world".

Happy holidays. :-)



My Asian balljointed dolls Luke, Robert and Nicole.




G.R.A.E. - last year Evelyn and Vincent taught him that wearing a red hat like that is essential to decorating a Christmas tree.

It really has been a while. XD
A lot has happened - I have been busy with work, arranging the anime convention J-popcon and lots of things to deal with in my personal life. But here I am - having come out pretty much on top of things.

I've decided to make a few changes to this LJ. From now on, instead of only having to do with Tales Untold, it will include my other creative projects as well. So expect entries about G.R.A.E. and Monochrome World, Asian Balljointed Dolls, Cornelius, the Griffins, Scallywags, Photoshoots/manipulations and random artwork. I'm multi-creative. ;-)
For those of you who have no idea what I'm talking about - well, you'll see if you stick around. :-)

Oh, and Merry Christmas (or whatever you may celebrate at this time of the year) & a Happy New Year to all of you!

I still haven't got any TUT updates for you, but in the meantime, I shall plug a little. XD

Some of you might know that I am involved in a story-project-thing here on LJ.
It started two years ago when G.R.A.E. (a very contemplative and not-quite-human guy) escaped a science laboratory where he had been kept, experimented upon and used. A year later, two people like him (Ghost and Mist) were sent to capture or kill him - but the plans were thwarted when Mist killed the agent looking after Ghost and both hunters started creating lives for themselves in the world Outside. Meanwhile, the boyish looking vampire Daniel, who wanted to be a doctor when he grew up (but never did), met G.R.A.E. and took an instant disliking to him.
- Each of those people have a LJ and a story of their own, and sometimes the stories overlap.

Now, to make it easier for everybody to follow the stories, Monochrome World has been created.

Even if you don't mean to read the stories, you might want to check it out to catch a glimpse of artwork and illustrations by yours truly and her fellow artists Leechy, Kinu and Ravenkeeper. :-)

We have comic updates. One day late, but updates nevertheless. This is the last page of chapter 11. And it's here! :-)

I don't have a whole lot to say about it. It's nice to finally be somewhere in the story when Lukas knows (a bit more about) what is going on around him. I like scenes with Lukas and Robert together, because they're ... amusing. XD

Now, there is going to be a slight delay before the next chapter commences. I want to draw a few pages ahead for various reasons, and I want to update the gallery and the fanworks section as well. So I hope you'll forgive me the delay. It means a bigger update next time (hopefully). :-)

I forgot to write it here, but erh ... yeah. I did update last weekend (Sunday).
Comic updates here! :-)

On another note ... Happy International Talk Like A Pirate Day!

Right. This chapter seems to be going on forever. I guess that's what happens when you stretch action scenes out in this fashion.
I wonder if I should find a fun way to generate more updates ... There's the Paypal thing on the main page, of course. - But maybe I should do something like the "Fanart 4 Pages" campaign I had last year. It was fun. :-) Anyone have any ideas for fun activities like that?

Comic updates here! :-)

Oh, and (this strictly isn't TUT related, but that's okay, right?) remember Scallywags - it's updated Mondays and occasional Thursdays with a new pirate joke/stip.

After an unexected break in updates last weekend, we're back! ^_^
Hmm. I think there are parts of this chapter I would rather have M-chan get over with quickly. Fighting Robert is not always that amusing if you're on the wrong end of his bokken. -_-;
Anyways, updates are here!

Lukas

Right, update time. :-)
Did you fear that Scallywags made me forget about TUT? Don't worry, that doesn't happen. :-) Comic Update!

Do you like pirates? Do you like silly slapstick? Do you like scruffy rum-drinking captains and slightly pissy but overly cute cabin boys? Then come on aboard The Black Sheep! Even if you entirely sure that the answer to any or all of those questions is "aye", please give my newest webcomic, Scallywags, a chance. It's free, and I promise to make the pirates play nice and not take your gold ...
