Book 2 in the Fall of the Dragon Trilogy, "Across the Wavering Landscape" is now available for sale! You can get it here! I will not be taking sales through me directly, save for cons (sorry).

When I get more money again, I'll order more books for cheaper, so ya'll can get them cheaper through me, but will probably be not til Xmas time)

You can read a sample here: [link]

:iconkazehiko:
:iconwintersofwesley:
:iconscouterv: Phoenix SpawnSpawn of The Forever Avian
Apple of her bright gold eyes
Unto the world, the legacy falls

Her hair, a native shade so bold
Her skin, fair, as driven snow
Her eyes give lavender exchanges
Her beauty hiding a soul of strangeness

A being not of our own lands
Understood, herself, who knows
All that remains, is her life

A creature so divine and strong
A creature who feels all are wrong
A girl with potential that will not alter
A girl who's heart will surly falter

Proudly yet, this beauty shines
Forever touched by the Divine

:iconzecarius: WandererEnshrouded in brown, blue, and black
Hidden behind shadows and bandages
Who are you?
What have you done?
Those red eyes... what have they seen?

Ever drifting from place to place
Trading what goods he acquires
Where have you been?
Where are you going?
Do you ever miss being away from your home?

A mysterious enigma of a young man
His footfalls leading him down his life
Where does the path lead?
What do you look for?
May you find the answers in your journey, wanderer.

Cause I keep having people ask about this, I'm gonna put this up XD

Commissions for subscriptions? Okaay, I WILL take these, but rarely. If my subbie's gonna run out, I'll accept one. It will just be one character for the cost of a 3 month subscription. If ya wanna get me one that is larger than that, we'll discuss what I'll allow, lol. Typically, these will not have much of a background, and I'll be picky about characters, due to the fact it's like only a bit over $8, and I charge $10 for one character typically.

Commissions for points? Okay, I guess I'll let some of these, too, but only as follows:

Chibi sketch: 150 points
Sketch: 300 points
Colored Chibi (cg): 500 points

:new: Commission taken, thanks~

Due to time constraints, I'm temporarily closing commissions until mid November. If you put in for a commission, you're still good, and if you see me at a con, you CAN still commission me for off site art, but no cosplay or plushie commissions (I got two plushies already I need to get done, plus tons of other stuff, lol). Sorry for any inconvenience! If you really need/want something, I may be willing to take on one or two if you would be willing to pay a bit extra Xd I might open up a commission after TsubasaCon for a subscription, cause that's running out, too, lol. Anyways, they will be closed for just a short time!

Preorders for cons will NOT be effected!

And, as promised, I'm opening up the contest for my latest novel! You can read all about it here: [link]

DUDE, just looked at the calendar and realized it's officially my 8th DA anniversary O.o man I feel old XD Don't think I'll have time to draw anything for it though, lol, but maybe I'll color one of the pics I need to XD

(on a totally unrelated note, I finally started Pokemon White! well, I started black, too, but it won't let me gain EXP so I can't get very far...XD anyways, I have a friend code~ let's make friends, shall we?)

I am now accepting orders directly through me for Desert Tracer and Kappa to Ieba! You must buy more than one book to be able to order through me (ie, even just a bookmark, or another book, commission is fine). It's cheaper on us all this way, lol.

Figured since I know some of my past students watch me on here, and others might be interested, I'll post some news in regards to my teaching! South Shore Art asked me to add some new classes for the summer session, so wa-la! There are more!  My summer schedule is pretty crazy, but the classes I'm teaching are as follows:

Intro to Manga- Learn the popular Japanese art form of comics called Manga. Students will create an original story, character designs and learn how to lay out manga pages. All supplies are included. (Previously taught class)

Fantasy Drawing- Students will get an introduction to various fantasy and mythological beasts, learn how to draw them and create their own. Creatures covered will include dragons, faeries and beasts from mythology. Students will also get a brief overview of other fantasy-based art such as scenery and armor. All supplies are included.

Exploring Japanese Art- This class will introduce various forms of Japanese art and crafts to students. Each week will feature a different form, including calligraphy, origami and sumi-e. All supplies are included.

Advanced Manga- This class is a continuation for students that have taken the Intro to Manga class. Students will develop their skills for the manga industry for printing. Subjects covered will be digital work, screen toning, dialogue, sound effects, and basic print and pre press skills. Class is limited to 8 students.

Summer session starts June 6! Be sure to sign up to get in~!

Classes will be offered at at least two of the three locations of South Shore art, save for Advanced Manga which is only offered at the Hammond location due to supplies needed (ie, computer). Check out the website for more information: [link]

Vol 5 Live, April Auction, Proofers, etc

Journal Entry: Fri Apr 15, 2011, 9:52 PM
Commission Information - Zos Kias - Facebook - LiveJournal - Lulu Store - Order my Novel
--------------------------------------

Soo, I'm at the half way point (or over) of both Desert Tracer and Across the Burning Water (book 2 in my novel trilogy), and I'm looking for people confident in their English skills to help me proofread them and make sure it's all fine and dandy. I will not be handing anyone the whole script/book for either of them, save for my close close friends, cause I'm crazy paranoid XD However, if you want to offer your help, you may do both, and you may do bits and pieces of both (ie, do like half of DT, and then do the first 5 chapters of AtBW and like chapters 10-15, sorta thing).

To point out, Desert Tracer IS a manga, but I don't have the script IN the drawn pages yet, so you'll be proofing a script (which means it will go in correctly). And Across the Burning Water is a novel, with 9-10 page chapters in Word, will be around 24 chapters. On page 24 of DT, on chapter 14 of AtBW. Any help will be greatly appreciated~!

And, for each time you help, I'll enter you in a drawing for some goodies X3

Zos Kias volume 5 is now live at Lulu.com!

All preorders have been ordered on my order of the books, and I'll letcha'll know when they get to me and I ship them out to you, along with your bookmark :heart:

You can pick up your copy directly from me at AnimeBoston 2011, and at the other cons the rest of the year!

Desert Tracer Stuff

Journal Entry: Wed Apr 13, 2011, 7:11 PM
:new: ALL SUBMISSIONS FOR DESERT TRACER ARE DUE IN APRIL 20th!!

:new: You can follow with some of the updates for DT on my Tumblr: [link]

Going to start getting things ready for Desert Tracer, so I can take it a bit slowly. With that said, I'm opening it up to ya'll to help me with submissions!



Desert Tracer is a fantasy story about Tural, a Tracer who's been living in the desert, ever since Tracers were cast to the waste side. A Guardian named Radulf comes seeking his help, looking to recreate the Guardian and Tracer relationships of the past. Though reluctant, Tural ends up helping Radulf, and heads back to Radulf's hometown to claim his monetary reward, though Radulf has other plans in mind...



Specs: The book is planned to be about 100 pages long. It will include the complete Desert Tracer story, a total of about 50 pages, as well as the original first chapter of Desert Tracer (as seen on Pixiv ごめん、日本語でだけ), a 20 page story.  Also included will be bonus extras, like a fanart gallery, character stats, a Q & A about the story hosted by Tural, and more!

Characters:


Name: Tural
Age: 20
Type: Tracer
Weapon: 2 guns (& 2 guns connected by a chain)
Personality: Not a people person, at all. He's short tempered, and he feigns politeness, but it kills him to do so. He believes the world hates him, and thus acts accordingly.
Height: 5'7"
Other: Lives in the desert, right near a village that is hounded by youkai that still have survived in the desert. In exchange for protecting the village from these usually low-level youkai, he is given food. The village itself keeps him at arms length, ever since his mother passed away (he took over for her after she died). He really hates being teased...


Name: Radulf
Age: 25
Type: Guardian
Weapon: Broad Sword
Personality: Comes across as rather arrogant, and though his arrogance would be well deserved, more so, he just likes to see people squirm (like Tural). He is no fool when it comes to dealing with people, despite this, and he can talk his way out of almost anything (including an engagement!).
Height: 6'1"
Other: Grew up in a wealthy family, but has little ties to them now. He dreams of fixing the skewed relationship that has formed between Tracers and Guardians.  Unlike the rest of the world, he believes that Tracers are still necessary to defeat the remaining youkai.


Name: Ishtar
Age: 22
Type: Guardian
Weapon: Double blades
Personality: She's a bold and bossy woman, used to having her way, as she was raised as a "little princess" in her wealthy household. She was engaged to Radulf, but unfortunately, due to a bet she made with him involving a Tracer (Tural), she is no longer. She hates anyone who gets in her way, namely Tural. She is a strong believer in the fact that only Guardians are needed to protect the world.

Here's a bit more about their personalities!



---------------------------------
Fanart Gallery

Calling for fanart submissions!

:bulletred:You can submit fanworks to me up until April 20th! They will be printed in black and white, so color or greyscale are both fine. If you would like to submit a photo, or written work, it IS allowed, but please keep sizes to a minimum.

:bulletred:If you want to submit a doujinshi, or longer fanfiction, please contact me directly and we'll discuss the limitations/restrictions. These will have priority over general fanworks.

Fanart Submitted-
:thumb197929984:
:new:


---------------------------------
Q & A with Tural

:bulletred:You have until April 20th to submit questions to me. They can be about anything relating to Desert Tracer...information about Guardians, Tracer, or Youkai; character relationships; specific character-related questions; questions about the world, etc...

:bulletred:Please keep all questions 5 sentences at MOST! The shorter, the better!

Questions:
*What is the difference between Guardians and Tracers?
*What kind of underwear does Radulf wear?
*What kind of underwear does Tural wear?
*What is Tural saving for with the money he's trying to make?


---------------------------------
Art Gallery requests

:bulletred: This is only a short thing and no guarentee I'll do everything that gets requested, but I'm temporarily opening requests for the Desert Tracer art gallery. Has to be Desert Tracer related, but can be as crazy as you want!

Requests:
*DT cast with a meccha
*DT cast in animal suits
*Radulf x Tural yaoi
*DT cast as Zos Kias characters

Other: Lives in the desert, right near a village that is hounded by youkai that still have survived in the desert. In exchange for protecting the village from these usually low-level youkai, he is given food. The village itself keeps him at arms length, ever since his mother passed away (he took over for her after she died). He really hates being teased...


Name: Radulf
Age: 25
Type: Guardian
Weapon: Broad Sword
Personality: Comes across as rather arrogant, and though his arrogance would be well deserved, more so, he just likes to see people squirm (like Tural). He is no fool when it comes to dealing with people, despite this, and he can talk his way out of almost anything (including an engagement!).
Height: 6'1"
Other: Grew up in a wealthy family, but has little ties to them now. He dreams of fixing the skewed relationship that has formed between Tracers and Guardians.  Unlike the rest of the world, he believes that Tracers are still necessary to defeat the remaining youkai.


Name: Ishtar
Age: 22
Type: Guardian
Weapon: Double blades
Personality: She's a bold and bossy woman, used to having her way, as she was raised as a "little princess" in her wealthy household. She was engaged to Radulf, but unfortunately, due to a bet she made with him involving a Tracer (Tural), she is no longer. She hates anyone who gets in her way, namely Tural. She is a strong believer in the fact that only Guardians are needed to protect the world.
