For those of you who noticed the comment I made on the last page...I'm a tad bogged down with personal issues this past week so I haven't been checking emails, comments, forum threads, etc. Since I prefer not to discuss personal issues, I'll talk about some less minor obstacles that are slowing me down. First off, I've somehow temporarily lost interest in the story. I think it's because I've reached a point in the story where everything slows down drastically and I have to sit back and draw the same characters over and over again in boring positions as they talk about boring stuff. And I've also suddenly have an urge to give Yasu a different personality...but I know it's already too late to be changing her now that I've taken it this far. I suppose I might be able to impose a personality change after this next scene...but then it'd feel slightly out of place.

Second problem -- I'm currently working on the design of my 'Angels' and it's pissing me off. The first ones will be showing up within ten pages from now, and it's not working very well right now. I'm just not very accustomed to drawing anything other than the standard human proportions. I just realized that I don't even know how to draw a four-legged critter like a dog...because I was trying to make one of my angels four legged...but I have no idea how to shape the body. Plus I eventually concluded that I can't make the angels TOO different from a human...since they are supposedly derived from a human in the first place. Nevertheless, I still haven't decided how an Angel looks like yet.

SIGH. Well, another thing...the Project ROL forums are more or less dead now. You know what would make me very happy? If some of you readers were to make a forum account, posting regularly there, and give it life again. I suggest completely IGNORING all the older threads/topics and just make new ones, otherwise you'll just get confused by all the posts dating back to when people still regularly posted there. Plus, I've noticed that all the older threads are just filled with random spam anyway. Just make an introduction topic/thread to welcome yourself to the forums, and make a topics/threads anywhere about anything.

Last note...I'm planning to get rid of all the link exchanges and start fishing for new ones sometime within the next two weeks. So if you want to visit one of those links, or perhaps bookmark a few...do so now, or else they'll be gone within 14 days.
