An old word for bird-watching.

Well, I’ve been threatening it for a while now, and I’ve finally gone and done it! One of the projects I’d been working on during my recent holiday was to tart up my Twitch channel and actually start streaming. And I have been!

If you’re interested in watching me draw stuff (and listen to some hand-picked CC-licensed music from the good folks at the Free Music Archive), then tune into my streams at http://www.twitch.tv/maothecat! Twitch also stores videos, so you don’t have to be on at the same time that I’m streaming to watch – though if you are, you get to chat with me! read more

We’re Six Years Old!

Chapter:

Holy shaving cream, Elf Blood is SIX YEARS OLD! Who knew that I’d still be going with this after starting in my waning university years?

Has it brought me fame and fortune? Well, no, but it has brought me a wealth of experience in writing and illustration, and most importantly – it’s brought me you guys. It always fills my heart with joy to see names reappear in the comments year after year, and I always get a little flutter of excitement when I see a new name chip in too!

People often ask me how I can continue doing all the work that I do – Elf Blood being the main item, but as you know I do an awful lot of other creative work as well. And honestly? I love entertaining people. I love it when you guys get involved, or show emotion for the characters or storyline. I love the fact that you’ve stuck with me and the comic, despite the wealth of other options available – despite the many flaws I’m constantly seeking to improve upon, I must be doing something at least a little bit right! read more

Holiday Updates!

Chapter:

Welp, it’s nearing the end of my holiday – what have I achieved that I set out to do?

– Tidy Up the House: Completed! Although another mini-tidy at the end of the week wouldn’t go amiss…

– Dye My Hair: Completed! Although I chickened out of bleaching it before applying the purple, so I’m just a very dark violet right now…

– Finish off my Ink Drawing: Completed! The ink wash came out really nicely, actually. I’ll need to get a good quality photo of it and share it with you guys. read more

And now… Some Rest.

Chapter:

I’ve gotta whole week off to do whatever I please this week, which justly rocks and is awesome. Things that I am ACTUALLY GOING TO GET DONE this week instead of just saying I’ll get them done and then being distracted by other things:

– Tidy up the house (almost certain to get done)
– Dye my hair (reasonably certain to get done)
– Finish off my ink drawing (fairly certain to get done)
– Get to G-Rank in Monster Hunter 4 (depends on whether I can find decent hunters online or not)
– Do the notes for Bonnie Words and start redrafting it (highly likely to get done)
– Finish off redrafts of some short stories (If I can fit them in) read more
