That being posted, I'm afraid the time has come where I'm going to have to put two of my projects on the back burner. I simply do not have the time or resources to work on all three. It's getting harder and harder to find artists I can afford on my non-existent budget and those few I have are really busy with their own lives. So if I try to do all 3 projects none of them will ever get finished due to this whole massive slow-down. And on my end these new classes are extremely taxing both emotionally and intellectually (Introverts, never try to do theater, it'll make you cry.), so even if I had the money and artists I don't think I could write 3 stories at once anyway.

So, for now Azure Dawn and Emerald Skies are being placed in the freezer. Here's why:

Azure Dawn: Still haven't worked out a full secondary cast list yet so I don't know what I would need to even finish it. In addition the prototype chapter has been a relative failure thus far. With the exception of my posting here I haven't even been able to pay people to read it. And the one place I managed to get it posted for reviews, it has been pretty much ignored with one good rating by a friend and a failure rating by a stranger. Let's just say I don't feel very confident in my writing abilities if you can't even pay someone to read your work.

Emerald Skies: This one I'm hiatusing just because of the extensive writing work it would take to finish. I still have some characters I haven't designed yet and the secondary work list is quite large. In addition this one requires me to find someone who can draw motorcycle style machines. Which on Gaia is virtually impossible and I lack the money to hire anyone I've seen on DA who does such work.


Therefore the project I'm going to focus on is Scarlet Dusk. And hopefully that one won't bomb like Azure Dawn has...we shall see.

  • Mood: It's Hot
  • Listening to: Frets on Fire (Zakuro's Transformation Theme)
  • Reading: A book you could drop from 5ft and kill a deer ;_;
  • Watching: Godzilla (VS and Millenium Era films)
  • Playing: Perfect World
  • Eating: Good food for a change
  • Drinking: Milk

>> Don't you dare. XD You're not horrible, just busy. A horrible artist is one who rushes the work and ignores major details of the character and screws them up. A busy artist has a life and/or projects of their own to work on.

Busy is fine, and that's what you are. XD Not horrible. *flicks forehead* Goofy Dannie.

First, I think that failure-rating stranger might just need a swift kick in the spleen! D= Second, I can always draw for free for you. And if I get myself on a steady schedule and/or stop being quite so lazy, I could draw a lot, since I have no life. =o

I want to help! Send me anything you want! XD I've been busy for the past month or two, but I'm done being busy, and I have loads of spare time again!! XD

I get two straight days off a week, so I have like 2 hours of work then FREEDOM to do whatever I want.

And with nothing interesting to do, I re-play Zelda and stare at the wall.

Working on three projects at once is a bit ambitious - even when you know what you're doing with them all and have plenty of time - because you're not as sharply focused and you can miss out on fun things to do with them.

Although I rotate through my many, many projects, I only focus on one at one time.

Good luck, though!

^^ He he, don't I already have you commissioned though? XD And your prices are quite affordable for me. :3 So you wouldn't have to do freebies.
:iconaio-chan:
Will do then. :3 After I get back from church I'll try to remember to Note you some of the things I need most at the moment and will let you pick and choose. <3

Thanks Fearn. :3 *hugs* I appreciate the well wishes. ^_^ I understand what you mean, that does make sense. Maybe it's all for the best.
