New illustration - Bishounen Hunter lives!
Saturday 28 June 2008 @ 12:14 Another one of those epic missions, this. Kai and Rei are looking out over the nicer views of Asgard after being to see the fortune teller, Judy. It's one of the few times they are out of the filth and misery of Midgard, though for one of them it's not exactly an unfamiliar sight... I drew the original sketch well over a year ago but that I never quite got round to finishing it. I did start to colour it a number of times, with a variety of media, but it never looked right. Now, though, I think I've just about achieved what I wanted. More importantly, perhaps, is that it's the first promo picture for my wonderful Bishounen Hunter. Yay. So, while the manga may be quite a while off yet, I hope you can appreciate the style and feel that it one day shall have. Oh, and I thought I'd just mention that I have now seen Miyavi live. :D Wow. It was epic. It was the most amazing experience of my life and I have no idea what could possibly match it, let alone top it. I haven't stopped smiling since, and its made me really want to finish my Kavki Boiz doujinshi. Lol. We'll have to see how that one goes... New illustration added to the gallery
Friday 20 June 2008 @ 15:29 I've updated the gallery with a new picture of Myung-Ho from Seo Hong-Seock's amazing Dragon Hunter. I scrawled this in a few minutes as a promo picture for my new doujinshi, [scarred], and wanted to change his expression a bit so I decided to scan the image first in case anything went wrong with the original drawing. Being me, I ended up opening the scan and have a bit of a play around in Gimp... and kind of loved the result. So, yes, it's another picture from an unfinished sketch. You'll notice that the fingers of his right hand are all but obscured and that his legs are defined by about three badly-placed rough lines... but I don't think I'll touch the picture again. I like it like this :) Website problems
Thursday 19 June 2008 @ 14:27 Since reopening the website, I've checked the layout on a few other computers operating with different versions of IE. There are some pretty darn big problems with some of the pages, both in terms of layout and content. On some pages, the sidebar appears under the main content, on others there are an army of unnecessary scrollbars. When it comes to the image pages, I've noticed that the information box underneath is replaced by a few strands of HTML code. Oy. It all appears fine and dandy on my home computer - IE7 with a resolution of 1680 x 1050 (though other resolutions are fine, too) - and my Web and Walk phone. If you see any problems anywhere, it would be appreciated if you could use the form in the contact page to let me know. Please mention which page(s) have bugs that need fixing, what operating system you are using and the details of the problems. And then I shall get back to fixing evil CSS and HTML code... Bleh. Welcome back to Gasarasrevolution
Tuesday 17 June 2008 @ 21:36 After what seems like years trying to figure out the tiny, difficult details in my CSS coding, the new layout is finally up! And ahead of schedule, no less :) There are a few changes to the site content to mention. I've put all of my pictures into the gallery section (with the sketches and doodles making a comeback sometime in the next week) and added a page for comics and doujinshi. Eventually the comics section will also house all of the information pertaining to In Fang and Thief, Boys Over Faeries and Bishounen Hunter. The craft section is gone for the moment, though this will be up and fully functioning by late summer when I hope to have set up my online shop. The main news this time around, in terms of work, is the near-completion of my Dragon Hunter doujinshi, [scarred]. It takes place in volume 11, shortly after Tae-Rang returns to the West. With Merlin dead and things settling down again, Myung-Ho finds his thoughts turning to the death of his sister and the many mistakes he has made. Seur-Chong isn't prepared to let him needlessly suffer, though, and tries to find a way to ease his guilt - or at least distract him from it. [scarred] is very much going to be for an adult audience, with scenes of a sexual nature. A few of them... Expect a preview in the next few weeks. I'll be continuing to fine-tune the site for the next few days, hopefully having all of the gallery completed by the end of the week, and setting up a newsletter for anyone who would be interested in receiving the latest news or gallery updates. Also, if anyone wants to buy any of my doujinshi, let me know. They'll be in a digital format for now until I can get to the printers. The details will be up soon but I'd like to get an idea of numbers for the actually printing. ^^ I think that's pretty much all of the site news for now. What's happening in my personal life? I'm off to see Miyavi in London next Wednesday ("Eeeeee!") and then it's back to drawing [scarred] and a small comic for an upcoming competition. I'm also hoping to get a mini break organised somewhere nice but I'll have to see about that one. No rest for the wicked ^^; Right, that's me done. If you want to leave a comment or ask a question about anything, head over to the contact page and I'll reply as soon as I can. I'd love to hear what you think about the place :D Laura.

Next Doujinshi
[Scarred] Based on Seo Hong-Seock's Dragon Hunter. Seur-Chong x Myung-HoAdult only Do what you think is right and regret nothing. Seur-Chong's words seem like the perfect philosophy to live by but things aren't always that simple. The recent events on Mount Bak-Do have left Myung-Ho withdrawn and listless, uninterested in Seur-Chong's irritation - or his passionate advances. While the frustrated dragon hunter tries to force a reconciliation, his shaman partner flinches away from his touch and refuses to forgive himself for the death of his sister, or the very events that led to first meeting Seur-Chong.
In the end, what will it take for these aching scars to heal?
Coming soon
