I know very talented people

When not at work or glued to my computer, I've been doing a little bit of writing. I've been writing a romance/slice-of-life story about a pair of university students--one a male cat, the other a female beagle. Don't know what I'll be turning it into yet; a webcomic, a story series, a printed comic book, the opportunities are limited only by finances and getting an artist to work with.

In the meantime, however, I've commissioned a couple of drawings to visualize the characters more. Both have been by Shana, an artist on FurAffinity (who's taking commissions, for those in the market, *hint hint*).

First, a shot of the happy couple, Dan Lansdowne and Krista van Hoorn:

And a gorgeous portrait of Krista that just arrived today:

I love love LOVE these drawings, especially the second one. She is one fantastic artist!

Let me develop my characters and universe a bit, and we'll talk ;) Right now I only have a couple of decent stories and some rough outlines, so I have a lot of work to do before they're ready for public viewing.

I'm flattered at the offer, though :D

that's fine! Just keep me in mind when it comes to art, though, because I can always use work! XD

It's cute that you're developing a sweet story like this. Just make sure to add some breakups/drama/trauma that make sense for the characters and it should be an interesting read.

Got it covered--that's what one of the stories I've written is.

Thanks for sharing those with us!

Glad you approve :)

Sounds like fun!

And make sure you let us know what you've decided and where we can find it, too! :D

Trust me, when I actually get this stuff worth releasing to the public, I'll be shouting it from the rooftops!
