UPDATE ON My Cat Loki 3!!!!!! PLEASE READ!!

Fri Jun 13, 2008, 8:34 PM


SO! Just got off the phone a few hours ago with my editor...



So sorry Morris...looks like this dedication is just not going to end the way I'd have liked it too ;__;



...so sad to say...as of now, there will be no My Cat Loki 3...~,~ With all the cuts TP had made recently, MCL just didn't do well enough to make it. *sigh*


While I'm sad to see it end without an actual ending, I'm a little relieved, as it frees my time up for bigger and better story ideas I'd like to pitch to other companies. But for now, TP has plenty of licensed property work for me, enough to keep me busy for the next 1 1/2-2 years...and while I'm working on that stuff, I'll have time to refine a few more pitch ideas, open commissions again...you have NO idea how much I want to just to do COLOURED work!!!;________;...and will possibly be opening them in July, depending on my work load between finishing the Star Trek:TNG story and getting things ready for Otakon, which, YES! I shall be at Otakon in Artists Alley with :iconnyanko-chan: again this year! XDehehe I've some new stuffs I shall be selling and will talk about that another time ^_^


Anyways! So yea...no more MCL ;__; it'll be sad not working on it anymore, at least for now...I suppose I could always do some sort of doujinshi or something for it, but for now I'd rather concentrate on more inspiring stuffs ^_^;;;

I definitely would like thank to all the MCL fans for all your support, be it fanmail or fanart, I GREATLY appreciate each and everyone! ^________^<3<3<3 Yes, the fanart sent me won't be printed in the back of book 3, but they WILL be posted on my website where the MCL WILL remain for those to view and enjoy! ^__^<3 Thank you SO much again!!


*sigh*...well...back to the drawing board...that damn heat and humidity last weekend and beginning of this week put me WAY behind on my pencilling schedule;___; didn't get any work done cause I was stickin' to the paper way too much....and there's no AC in my room >,< yarg!!

=========================================


Once again...Commissions are closed until further notice...aka...till I have time again to do them.^_^;

I guess I'll see you at Otakon, since I was too shy to say a word at Anime Boston. Sorry about My Cat Loki. Good luck with everything else though!

I'm sorry to hear about that. I read the article about TP making cuts two days ago...I was afraid that this might have happened. T_T I'm sad to see MCL go, especially because me and my friends really enjoyed it. I'm glad that you can work on bigger and better projects, and I'm glad to hear I'll have a change to finally get a commission. :D

~All good conversations are spoiled by some fool who knows what he is talking about~
what!?! i was a big My Cat Loki fan...*tears* do you think you could give ur fans a little insight onto how the story ends, or will it forever be a mystery?
POO!! I would have liked to see how MCL would have ended!!!:( I hope to see more of your original works in the future though!!!

Ugh!! why must tokyopop suck at life so much?!
Sorry about that, really. I was holding out on MCL. The book itself made me wanna start my own! I hope things go well and things stay busy for you >W< keep working!

I'm with an above comment, can we get a small insight about it?
Maybe it will eventually be made, but sad all your effort was not rewarded.
aaaah no! not MCL!!!

And it was such a great story too. I was looking forward to book 3.

btw....if you seriously do open commissions in July. Count me in for sure!

I look forward to some of your new stuff btw! And good luck in the future!!!
