8-13

Well. Hello again.

You ever have one of those dreams where you realize you were supposed to be in school, but you were skipping out for so long you don't even remember the room number, much less what homework was due? Gods help you to recall the locker combo.

Yeah. Pretty much that.

I couldn't figure out the password here.

So. Some…years…ago now, Sae and I kinda put our dA here on hold, since we weren't living together anymore. I thought this was a temporary situation, and that after we got our monies more stabilized, we'd be aiming to move back in together and start cranking out fun little fanartworks and cosplays and just being generally creative all over the place. However, it seems this plan is unlikely to come to pass. In short time, Saeru shall be joining up with the Air Force, to put all that electrical engineering to use building drone jets and whathaveyou. Afterward a few years of awesomely defending our world from the inevitable invading alien robots who have come to steal all of our energy, it'll be a quick jaunt back for more university to delve into the wonders of neuroscience. And then I guess making cyborgs for world domination or something is on the horizon after that.

The reason I came back to kick out all these dA crickets with announcement of Sae's lofty prospects is to give folks who happen to still be around the heads-up: there will be no future custom Organization coats (nor wigs) from Sae. Ever.

After the auction tomorrow, that is. One last coat, and then the era is over.

I am following up on some leads for commissioners who may be able to take up the torch and fill in, but right now, there is no one confirmed with the dedicated space, time and training. I do not know when Organization cosplays will be available to the public again, but I will be facilitating as best I can to see the niche filled. Additionally, I will be compiling all of the tutorials, supply research, patterns and videos we've posted around all over into a coherent hub for posterity.

…Also: I have a bunch of Lost Art from our times of collaborations. Stuff that never got scanned. Stuff I never finished coloring. Stuff that was deemed too…uh, too silly. So I'm going to work this year to enshrine all that extra b-side and bonus materials here where it belonged tin the first place, since this account is specifically for our collabs. Meanwhile, anything that I'm working on solo these days will be posted on my original dA account, which is now sniperdusk.deviantart.com/

So, this isn't exactly goodbye. You'll still see me sweeping up in here from time to time. But just in case no further developments ever develop, please consider this closure of a sort.

Yo, y'all. I noticed that many people are having a hard time getting a hear of Lex and Zexion's English voices. ( I mean, you -could- all just go *play* the game yourselves. XD ) But if you are impatient, here you go = 13th-kingdom.livejournal.com/7…
^_-


By the way, *someone* is in Canada. Again! But without me. So maybe I'll post some art on my own...? Or respond to comments myself. Yeah...that'll teach Sae....

P.S. Yes, I did change my icon. Sorry to confuse. (I just decided to have consistency on all places I post to.)

Well the whole update thing didn't work out so well. (I was almost the kiriban myself. Whoops.) >XD
Anyway nothing traumatic happened other than both of us being burnt out from all the cons this year (they are finally over...whew) and then being out of the country for a long time....plus the fact that Saeru doesn't really have a place to live right now and I only kinda do. Also, we're also finishing up a ton of commissions, and we're trying to get everyone their stuff before we accept anything new.

If we owe anyone a response on anything, thank you for your patience, and we'll be returning to dA fully. (The message box is frighteningly full right now. O_o ) If there is anything urgent, feel free to e-mail one or both of us - you won't be a pest, promise.


But, the main thing to note is that we've started to use etsy to sell some of our items previously only seen at conventions. For a very long while, I was trying to develop a coherant shopping cart via our actual website (other than for our giant zippers) but I couldn't allow for international shipping easily and the weight-to-value ratios were all over so I'm still working on inventing a new formula. In the meantime, if you'd like to buy stuff now, go here = orgXIII.etsy.com


Um, in other news...thank the fricken gods Vexen doesn't have a crappy voice actor for ReCOM. *_*

UPDATE = Anyone who visited the booth at Otakon and was looking for any of our sold-out items, please allow us a few days to restock. (If you would like to have us hold anything specifically for you, please send us a NOTE here at 8-13.) Thank you.

As Saeru is still wrapping up stuff in Baltimore, allow me to welcome you all to Birth-Week here, where we are commemorating my birthday (today), Saeru's birthday (on Saturday) and the anniversary of this silly dA account.

All sorts of exciting backlogged stuff is getting loaded up in the next few days...and most of it isn't even Kingdom Hearts, so you guys get to expand on that tiny little sliver of a horizon we've managed to establish thus far. Stay tuned for wings, blood, puppets and other surprises. We've even arranged it that if you whack at your monitor, candy shall festively spill forth.
