Hi all,

I just wanted to update to reassure you that I AM still here! I know I said I would update soon, but I've been awfully busy with finishing college, doing things, and recent drama. The main problem during all of this is that my PC has been taken away, yet again, to finally move things across to my new, much better PC! At the moment I'm stuck on this laptop, and it's super slow and don't have anything more complex than Paint on it, so I can't upload anything until I get my PC back :/

That having been said, I've continued drawing and (perhaps more importantly) inking pictures, meaning that there should be some long-awaited new blood in my gallery just as soon as I get my PC back (and reinstall EVERYTHING).

Not wanting to tease any longer, the thing I mentioned before about Dirge was that I've begun drawing new pages for the second 'series'. I know I said that was the end, and that I would begin drawing it as a proper manga, but I'm just not ready for that level of detail and effort... I thought that story quality over graphical quality should take priority, so I'm getting my ideas for the next seasons down on paper. The most important change being back to Dirge (still in its storyboard form) is the inclusion of text! My original aspirations for The Ninja Storyboard was to create a interesting, action-filled sequence between characters that could be enjoying by anyone who saw it. However, unfortunately something was lost in translation between what I knew was going on and how easily others could perceive this, often leaving most 'reader' confused. So now, Dirge will be written in English, with speech just like any other manga. I hope this will bring more interest to my work and make it more accessible to others.

So far, one title page, three pages and one full-page picture have been drawn in pencil, with inking to follow. New characters will be introduced, as well as more insight into the lives of the characters. This story arc is much deeper than last scroll (the name given to each 'chapter', much like 'Sagas' to Dragonball Z) which in the storyboard was just a fight with Hagironi and Mitsune. Without giving too much away, this story revolves around a certain machine being built by Darkness scientists that threatens the safety of the whole of Lightown. I really hope that you, my watchers, enjoy it... I'm getting very little feedback these days, which makes me feel like its almost not worth it

Besides Dirge, I still have plenty of photographs from my college projects, 'Landscapes' and 'Colour and Detail'. Also, I have a drawing request from a new watcher, which as just been sketched out, as well as older drawings that need completing! Please keep in mind that I have yet to finish my exams, so not much will get done until after the 11th of June - after then I will be completely free!

I hope you're all well, and I'm so sorry for not commenting of pictures! I'm slowly making my way through them, I swear! Take care!
