Am I hallucinating? Someone posting within a week of my post in one of my threads? Well... time to prepare for the end of the world. =D

Anyway- I do love my dragons. =D And my felines. Anatomy is a pain- I'm still pretty awful at it in a lot of situations, but I think I'm getting better. Daruh's anatomy has improved tons, anyway. xD

Sunrise and Nightfall are two stories that I've been working on for many many years. I've attempted to start them both at least once and have rebooted them both because I wasn't happy with them at the time. Sunrise is the written part of the story- the original portion that I started writing all those years ago. Nightfall is the comic prequel that I started when I first began arting (there's a good reason why I restarted it right there. xD) The two stories are back-to-back mostly with a 2-3 time year gap between them. I'm planning on making it so you don't need to read one to understand the other.

They're about... oh dear, where do I even start? Well, I guess setting- they take place in a fantasy world with no humans. All sorts of mythical and non-mythical animals/creatures populate the world. Not very technologically advanced- but they've got cities. And magic. Who needs technology when you've got magic? Anyway- magic is essential to the world as it's in a sense the lifeblood of the planet. Creatures can use one of twelve types of magic that they're born with, but don't necessarily need it to live.

Ohgawd, I'm awful at explaining this. How to explain without spoilers?

Anyway, Nightfall is currently in the process of a massive plot overhaul and such- and I mean massive. So little of this part of the original story remain intact.

I'll start with Sunrise then- easier that way.

Sunrise revolves around an amnesiac Nekomata named 'Neko' (my username comes from her, not the other way around, though that's not her real name). She works as a 'Dark Warrior' for Yugito during a civil war between Alnera (Yugito's forces) and a group of rebels who are (rightfully) not very happy with Yugito's ruling of the kingdom. The story follows her (and others) as she unknowingly re-unites with her sister and begins to question which side of the war she should be fighting for. In the process, they discover there's far more going on behind the scenes that is far bigger than either side realizes.

Nightfall, the prequel, is the events that lead up to the war. I'm still working out a ton of details, but the main cast is going to consist of the Royal Guard of Alnera (pre-war in much happier days) as they face the problem of magic (very) slowly depleting from the world. Not enough for individuals to be unable to use magic- but enough to really screw things up in the environments. Meanwhile, Daruh- a spirit elemental- is trying to prevent a catastrophe foretold in a prophecy he received after a painful encounter with a mysterious creature.

It's a mess right now- it's ALWAYS been a mess, but it's not as bad as it was. I'm horrible at explaining the plot in a summary form- but it feels great to finally be tying everything together in a very planned and organized manner. Right now, I'm focusing on Nightfall (since Sunrise will be effected by any changes) and doing craptons of world building cause the originals didn't have nearly enough of that. History, history, history. I have begun outlining the prologue and doing character concepts though.

@RobinHoude officially became my partner in crime on this project sometime in the last year or so. =D It's been forever of scrapping ideas, re-thinking plots, and building on characters, but it's finally starting to come together. It may not be ready to formally start again anytime soon, but I think the story is in better shape than it's ever been right now. We officially began dumping all info on a site today, actually- cause going through skype logs for previously plotted things was getting difficult. I just wish I could properly explain things. xD

I've got some more concepts hashed out, but they're not clean enough for posting. xD

Edit: Robin says to link to the askblog and my Art blog. Ohdear. -hides face-
