Hello DA, long time no talk. So school has finally started, Yay!... no… not really lol. Yes, I finally have a scanner and I’m sure you’ve seen the new and beautifully improved chibi Sado (“Oh god, not another chibi Sado”, yes another chibi Sado. Don’t worry you will see him drawn in his real size soon, the reason I did a chibi Sado pic again is because I redoing my entire gallery. *Shocked face* “Everything!?”, everything you ask?, well… no lol, the requests and other things like that will probably not be redone, but my OCs and other fanart made will be revamped into my new and improved style, plus you will see more from Tsuin Tsuuro, more fanart and I may start commissions soon to raise money for a project that I am working on that will take place in New York for young artist like myself to have the chance to be noticed my colleges and professional artists.

Now, regarding my manga Tsuin Tsuuro, there have been many ups and downs in the process of making it, but I have made some serious final decisions this includes hair and outfits of my characters (this is in response to passed issues regarding Sado). Before I can begin to draw the pages for the manga I have to begin to create additional characters, so this may mean that I will hold a contest for new characters to appear in the manga in the near future. Also in addition, I have to set up a separate website aside from Deviantart for the manga to be displayed in order to organize things (fanart, posed pics- DA/manga- website). Many of you have been asking for Raijin, my lightning mage character of Tsuin Tsuuro, I appreciate everyone’s request, and I ask everyone to continue commenting what you would like to see in my gallery aside from the revamped deviations that I will be posting. Now I would like to mention that because of school, and this project that I’m working on, the renewing of my gallery and the final production of my manga is going to be a bit slow for now, not as slow as it was before I had a scanner but slow enough lol.
Though I will be my deviation posting may be slow, I’m asking everyone to critic my work, I mean everyone, even if you don’t like me , lol and also please, please favorite my art if you like it, PLEASE! I’m working really work, and it’s difficult when I’m trying to do so much while I’m still in school. Now regarding the project that I’m working on, I will post some information up as soon as possible once everything is protected legally (you know just in case someone notices my page and says “Oh, I’m gonna steal that!” lol jk, but seriously… and I’ll explain how you all can contribute or be part of it, it is very beneficial especially for those who are in high school and are looking for scholarships as an artist.

Tsuin Tsuuro Story (Summary): Tsuin Tsuuro stands for “Twin Pathway”, which reflects the relationship the protagonist and the antagonist of the story; Sado and Namiko. The two were born as twins, but during birth the mother began to die, when Namiko was born, his hair was snow white because he was born between the bridge of life and death, He was born a semi-ghost or an ‘Hanobake’ (this word is a fusion between the words “Han” which means ‘half’ and “Obake” which means ‘ghost’ in Japanese). Sado on the other hand was born completely normal. During Namiko’s childhood, he was feared and considered extremely dangerous because he was a direct link between life and death, this also made him very valuable to many nations as a weapon. Thus Sado and Namiko fought many battles and two wars before the time they were 10. During those times wars broke rapidly, and during the 6th Mage War during Sado and Namiko’s 11th birthday, they were to be put to the test which one of them were to inherit the Kakari fang. The clan’s tradition was to pass the fang on to the first born of every generation, Sado and Namiko were the first twins to ever be born under the Kakari name.

As expected Namiko passed the test easily being an excellent mage and having supernatural abilities of being a Hanobake, but surprisingly Sado had matched Namiko’s skill; with great difficulty but never the less he passed. With that their father split the sword in half with the soul of a Kaibutsu (Kaibutsu means ‘monster’ in Japanese), as a result Sado and Namiko both were able to inherit the sword of the Kakari clan. Soon the Kaibutsu within the swords began to evolve and infect its users, but the Kaibutsu reacted greater with Namiko because he was a Hanobake. This caused Namiko to lose his since of morality and conscious ability to differentiate between good and bad, the Kaibutsu slowly began to take over the mental state of Namiko. Then a tragic event occurred causing Namiko to become one of the strongest and wanted mages of that time. Once Namiko left the village at 12, Sado did likewise and trained in ambitions that one day he would be able to bring his brother back to his original state.

The story begins with Sado coming back to his old village; Akahana (‘Red Flower’ in Japanese). He returns to compete in the tournament that will rank his abilities, as his dream is to become a Genshu (Sovereign of the village) to stop wars and to have the strength to protect the ones he loves. This is where he goes on to create his team: Mera Kasai (fire mage), Raijin Ikazuchi (lightning mage), Suna Sabaku (earth, medical mage), and Hayashi Ame (wood/plant mage). (later on Gomu travels with them on their missions against rivaling mages, but is never officially apart of the team).

Okay Now you guys have some backing on the ‘Tsuin Tsuuro’ story, I’ll probably update later on (put some backing on the Genshu, the Paladins [I’ll explain later], and the different ranks there are for a mage. Okay then, I’m done babbling, so how was your day? (that was a long journal!)
