One relocation later I notice that some some news have accumulated over time, which I completely missed to tell around here.
In fact, it's a lot of news, but I shall restrict myself on stuff related to Telaya & Dioman (the rest is not all-that-entertaining anyway).
1st of all, I changed publication strategy: "This Side of Darkness" is now published as a nice, printed hardcover book by www.epsilongrafix.de/ ... unfortunately in German only for now. I have also put the online version on hold at the moment, because I felt that the chapter-based publication I opted for in the beginning, did not work too well.
However, there is a digital English version of the book available, too, and even a particularly cool one: the "movie" version, widescreen format, with soundtrack from audiomachine.com: get it at sellfy.com/p/oK4y/
Also, if there's enough interest, I would think about self-publishing a first paperback edition (print files and ISBN are ready, I just can't afford to pre-finance the edition right into the blue). Pricing should be around US$10 + shipment (which amounts to another US$ 4-5, from Germany to the US, as an example).
Just drop me a note here at deviantart, or at telayaanddioman.net to help me get an estimation of whether there's enough interest or not.
Last, but not least: after my first attendance at the www.comic-salon.de/ in June on the artist's side of the table, I will also attend www.comicaction.de/php/index.p… as an exhibitor, and share a booth with gold-seven.deviantart.com/ (which probably will set me into a mere observer's role, watching Jenny and her Darkness Over Cannae crowd from the side.
)
So much for now.
Going back to sorting plot threads for book 2.

'This Side of Darkness' going online
Finally ... the webcomic launch is closing in rapidly:
at February 6th (in two days), at 0:00, the first chapter of 'Telaya & Dioman: This Side of Darkness' will go online, after a much longer-than-anticipated period of website setup, mental cleanup, sorting out of print issues and so on.
While the scope of the story will rapidly widen in the later installments, during this book's plot, the reader's view will stay very close to the protagonists and inside the small part of the world they see. It primarily tells a self-contained subplot dedicated to Cin'Thele's first experiences, the odyssey of a young Anukhai hunter named Ulog, his frie
2013 - the year of the Blitz
It's time to honour the fact, that the world is moving on.
Some years have passed since the events I wrote about in my last journal entry.
I have not been as passive as my activity record at DA suggests. It's just ... not a good idea to talk about anything you do, while you're at it. ;)
However, 2013, despite what the "13" is hinting, was a very good year for me so far: at last, I managed to finish the first volume of my epic fantasy novel "Telaya & Dioman".
It came like kind of a "Blitzkrieg" against myself, surprising me completely with it's sudden, unexpected success: after years and years of desparate path-seeking, tryout, learnin
Cloudy
Today was a beautiful day - maybe the most shining day of the year, not a single cloud on the sky.
And you chose this day to leave.
You crossed the Rainbow Bridge, and left us back here, in cruel silence.
I did not know that a relationship like this was possible between individuals of different species, until we met you. Since then I know what true love is: give all your heart, and expect nothing in return.
You were a stout, solitary soul in the body of a little wolf, you survived things I don't want to imagine, and you now fought the inevitable until the very last moment. I did not only love you, but I also have more respect for your str
Winter is back ...
... and I hate it.
It's frackin' cold again, and weather forecast broadcasts threats of snow at the weekend.
Thank you.
If we had to start that pollute-the-athmosphere thing at all, why couldn't we have *really* finished the job, and make air stinky-cosy-warm enough to get at least *one* advantage out of it: say goodbye to frackin' father frost?!?
But no, we had to go just half the way, getting enough dirt above & around us to heat up the poles, where they really don't want it warm, and cool down the inbetween. Heck, *great*. What a good work - so at least we all are sitting in the same, crappy boat.
At least we made the air stink. That'

Wherever that crowd comes from, it won't be from dA, at least. 
Weighing in for the movie version: If you've ever liked anything of Thorbad's, GET IT. Now. It's fantastic. A whole new comic/movie experience.
