10,000 Views!!!!!!!!!!!

ZOMG! I know I don’t check this account very much anymore but I’m quite chuffed. It’s taken me since 2005 XD but finally, I’ve reached 10,000 Page Views Muahaha!! Awesomeness.

That’s all I have to say, beaten a lot of people too >.>…SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE …almost…is all I can say , but not quite a bucket o’fish.
Wasn’t completely out-done by certain individuals

That’s all from me. Older journal entries below.

I've unstored it all

If you were ever curious about my older work, the incomplete, the scruffy, how bad I really used to be. I've removed EVERY SINGLE DEVIATION ...that went into storage. If you have any comments, they are welcome Haha! one can only imagine what sort of things would crop up.

Anyway, if you desire to browse through all 188 deviations I've submitted since joining DA ...please go to the Gallery and select the option Browse, otherwise it will only show a few in the so called featured section.

...I've come a long way, not only in my art, but my english too has improved. Not so much grammer as I've never really had a nack for it, although in terms of spelling and phrasing ... you'll see if you browse through.

I figured if im not on this account much anymore, I might as well open it up fully for ye all to look at.

I feel I've come a long way...a long, long way... It only shadows that of the path I have yet to walk down, as I continue on my journey of improvement. On one last note Thank you Inuyasha ...Alex... for saying what you did, you've given me a new outlook and I plan to do what I can ...using that advice.

Enjoy...

Perpetual Candy – Mangaka

Okay, first of all I’d like to announce to the many whom watch Dark Koel that I am still around on Deviant Art but operating mainly, under the user account name Perpetual Candy ( )
This is a joint account were my partner Kuro and I are working together in forming a Manga-ka Team.

We are at current pursuing the goal of creating a Manga/ Graphic novel and putting our names out there in the world of anime fandom etc.
It’s a challenging task that will require a lot of determination, time and most certainly the help of those who are willing. I appreciate everyone who has given us a push in any sort of way, including my own family, who have been extremely supportive as of late.

I can’t really give away anything about the story at the moment as the entire project has been kept a guarded secret for a good few months, started last year sometime and has grown exponentially.

Please, I’d love for anyone still interested in my art to shimmy over to the new account as I’ll be posting there quite often. I’m known as Koeru (Koel) … basically.

Anime Convention

Onto the other part of this news update.

In September time, Kuro and I will be attending ALcon based in Liecester, De Montfort University Liecester. On the 5th to the 7th and will be promoting Perpetual as a starting out amateur team. We have organized with Ruth Walter of Shoebox Studios, and Michael Towers - Chairman of ALcon (FreeSayain), a Stool and placement in the Artist Ally where we’ll be showing some of our work, interacting with and giving tutorials to the Con-goers, as well as, hopefully showing off samples if not finished copies’ of *(Unnamed) Volume 1 – the Manga we’re working on.

*The name is also a secret for the time being…

If you are curious as to what this convention is about or has in terms of events, you can visit the site here >>> [link] <<<
If you have any questions, please forward them to the Perpetual Candy account in note form and I will do my best to answer them, in terms for attending, I would like to make it clear, our main goal there is support and promotion. No one other than Perpetual is able to stand at the Stool allocated. Before it’s asked…

Rant

Be warned this section is depressive and emo-tastic.

Sadly everyone lately, almost everyone, that I or someone else connected to me knows, has had or is currently in a state of upset, depression or general emoness.
It’s getting kind of out of hand, I suppose what I’m aiming to say in this is that, although I care, I also care in another way… I care not to hear about it! As I too am having a tough time with general life and extremely stressful situations that constantly need my waking attention.

To list them for you so you get a rough idea…and wont do something to typically piss me off…

1. Kuro and I are working to produce a full out comic from the ground up, Story, Concepts, Line Art, Editing and Printing…by ourselves, not only this but we have roughly around 5 months to pull it off.

2. College work has piled on me so much that I am terribly behind, although this is slowly being worked out over the next few weeks as I have been given an extension period to correct the matter

3. FMP (Final Major Project) – For college we have reached our final project, the exam piece that marks us up for pass’s or fails, in the end this is definitely the most important thing on my list, but since recent events occurred and the project of perpetual’s is still at hand, it ranks 3rd.
I had to arrange with three tutors at my college, after …each of them, discussing every last detail and point behind it, backing up idea’s etc. for around 30-40 minutes a piece, it was allowed that Kuro and I use this chance to enhance our Manga project and produce a truly amazing final piece for the college course. It’s become a lot harder than first thought, but every last requirement and everything they’re expecting was calculated and written down before I spoke to them… we understand what is required and intend on completing it well. 8 weeks duration, starts after easter holidays.
Oh yes! Sorry, forgot to mention…we’re working together on it…

4. Last but not least the most important thing above all at the moment.
After speaking to my Nan about current plans and arrangements for the future, she brought to my attention the fact that… *sigh* my Grandmother will not be with us very much longer and it is unlikely she will last this coming year… the way things are going.

This of course brings the question to the table, …if she passes away, what happens to this house, the one I am currently stationed. Well! …it gets sold.

Leaving me initially homeless…

I wish to stress that due to this shocking turn of events and sudden, earth shattering news, I have started seeking a way to organise my life.
I spoke to my partner about the entire thing and she chose to come with me regardless of the fact that it is likely I’ll need to obtain my own flat, or house…etc.

She was originally going to move in with me at the start of next year, her choice, I liked the idea as it would help with the team progress and other things.
I have been getting information and already have a lot of help from family members, so all in all, I guess I should say that for a time I will be away from the online world until I get things in order, I hope to obtain a place where Jen and I are able to stay and support with Jobs or benefit, until we later get our feet secure on the ground. She chose to come with me! I said she could stay at home! …so no one can say a damned thing! …

So yes, my grandma is dieing…I’m going to lose my home and I need to support myself somehow in the next year… I’m heading out into the harsh horrible world, wish me luck!?

(Now can I be grumpy? …I believe my reasons are solid enough)
