Saeru has promised me we're going to branch out into some variety of subject matter in order to continue to toil studiously to improve our skills. If everyone is down with that, we promise to continue to post KH nonsense as well.

OrgXIII coat commissions are officially open = [link]
(If you have a specific convention deadline, please reserve a slot as soon as you can before the busy summer season starts. And if you -don't- have a specific deadline, don't worry - no need to start selling plasma or other bodily fluids. We'll be here when you need us.)

Besides working on requests, we both have some personal cosplay plans coming up which include Xig and Xal (finally!) plus a thing or two even more epic. Stayed tuned.

Also, please join us in celebrating 's awesome photography = [link]





...By the way, Sae's actually coming home today, pending further ice storms, hurricane winds and suicidal deer. I thought I was getting along fairly okay alone...



~saeru says =

So, uh, yeah. There actually were ice storms, hurricane winds, white outs, and then I locked my keys in the car. No suicidal deer, though. But I still had to turn back.

It seems Canada is determined to keep me. But I have been doing drawings while I'm up here, so look forward to a new KH comic when I return and U-E colors it.

And then, after that, I have to do some major fast costuming to get Leon and Xaldin done in time for Ohayocon at the end of January. x-x Maybe since I'm stuck here I'll get started...
