Devious Journal Entry

Sun Aug 30, 2009, 7:53 PM
Oh wow, has it seriously been 2 months?! o__o;; Guh! This is just going to be my official icon from now on:
[link]
Crazy busy times here, there was a medical condition and a surgery in the family (eek!! please wish us well...). And then there is the monthly quota of 10 billion Nightschool pages, HAHAHAHA 8D;;!! Well, it's not 10 billion... But it's somewhere close, I'm sure, I could prove it if I could still count...

ANYWAY! Once I got my brain back I realized that I went MIA without posting the Nightschool fanart contest results, argh!! Very sorry... >___< The book has been off to the printers, it was a mad dash, as always. We got soooo much great art, thank you very much!! It was so difficult to only choose a few, we're planning to have more space in the next volume so we can include more and showcase it better
(So everyone who didn't make it in--please keep your pencils sharp! There'll be another contest for volume 3 ;D)

So, without further ado!

Runners-up (you will each be getting a signed copy of volume 2 in the mail once it's out!)
Emily Adams
Julien Faille
Kaitlin Gagnon
Sarah Miller
Karen Yen

The winners! (your entries went into the fanart section of the book and you will also be receiving a signed copy of volume 2 each!)

Alcina Wong
Morgan Zamboni
Omnaya Omar
Sarah Covington
Merritt Zamboni
Rebecca Long
Starlia Prichard
Kaia Dumoulin


Yay!!
...And I sure hope I spelled everyone's names right, I tried very hard to triple-check everything... Apologies if I got something wrong ^_^;;

But seriously, we got so much great art, wow--if we had more room, we would've included more... Next time!! I _think_ we're supposed to prep Volume 3 for print in November/December, so the contest will be sometime around then, I think. J-just a heads up in case I have to disappear again :];;; Er...

* * *

In other news I'll be at Kumoricon next weekend! Is anyone coming out for that?

Just read dramacon and it made me miss being at a convention so badly. Your work really inspired me to get back to drawing and con going. I really wish there was more manga or you'd get this into an anime. Loved it bought the special edition and am going to buy your other works keep it up!!!!~~~ ps. <3 Matt

:icontimartstudio:
Just stumbled onto volume two at Barnes & Noble! :dance: (Every...Bookstore...in America)

I didn't even know it was out! Read it in one sitting! One long, relaxed, milk and cookies with a book kind of sitting. It was a great read! Now I can't wait for Vol. 3!

Thank you for the great evening! Good luck with Vol. 3 and everything else you have planned for the future!

Night Silver was great too(those pages I got to read at wirepop)! Too bad it's not published at Finland yet..

Hello, Svet :) I just wanted to say that today I've read 3-rd volume of Dramacon translated into my language (and your to, it's Russian :D ), and I should say that it's beautiful! Very interesting, funny and what is important - very vivid! All the actions are really truthful :) And the characters are really nice) My favourites are Lida and Sondra, Matt's sister. She rocks %DD
And also not a long ago I began to read Nightschool. It's really freaking awsome 8DD
I wish you luck with your life and work! You're the great artist! ;)

With love from Russia :) Да, да, из России :D
