Hey guys, long time no hear. I figured after almost a year I'll update you on my current status.
As of late, I've been working off a few things from my To-Do list that have been there for over a year, just to uncluster my list a bit. Some art, noting some ideas, finishing off some trades or projects of friends, the usual.
Simultaneously, of course, I have also been working on fixing up old pages of Lullaby, and I'm done with almost the first 100 pages so far. Luckily later pages need barely any touch ups, so the remaining 100 should go off rather quickly.
What am I doing with these? For the most, I'm trying to unify all pages - same font, shading, contrast level, all of which have been rather random over the years or changed throughout. In addition, a lot of leads and references the story had so far slightly changed and I needed to fix those along the road, too, along with some minor cleaning or fixing of panels that I've been pissed off at for years. Nothing as major as redoing the entire thing, though, no worries. I wont fall into that trap.
I'm aware that I have lost my presence on the net over the year of abstinence. My plan is to repost all pages once the touchups are complete, to regain my fellowship and bring you guys up to date on the overworked narrative. I plan to post them on a stable, regular schedule (maybe 3 doublepages a week) and then pick up where I left once I reach the end of Chapter 3.
To give you a clear overview of what is ready so far, here's a few statistics (which I will try to update regularly):
Book 1 Sets* ready for public: 63/103
Book 2 Buffer-Sets* avalible: 3
Status of Cover for Book 2: 100% Done
A super secret extra bonus thingy: ~65% Done
Set*: A set is a compound of 2 facing pages equal to those that will later appear next to each other in the printed book.
I know that my consistency has been terrible and my word not very relieable in the past two years. What I'm doing now is to prepare my path to return to Lullaby and maintain a stable ground for me to stand on, rather than leaving myself obstacles I might or might not fix eventually. I have spend way too much time delivering makeshift solutions with Lullaby that came to bite me in the ass on the long run, and I don't wish to walk on unstable ground with this work again.
Thank you all so much for your patience and loyalty, I really appreciate it! To show my gratitude for accompanying me on this obstacle laden path, I'm crafting a super secret special bonus thing for all of you to be released with my return, which I am certain many of you will like So look forward to it!

So what's up with me?
I realize I haven't quite updated my DA in a LOOOONG time, so here's a few things I'm up to.
Lullaby of Al'Sura
It's not dead, but it's not alive, either. I am not working on it ATM. The last Status was that I was working on the old pages, cleaning them up for rerelease (and editing some of the bad dialogue). There were only around 20-25 more of the old pages that needed cleaning when I last worked on it (out of 200, so the major work is done).
I had written a summary of the following chapters as well, to help me plan before I do the script planning, however I had suddenly had an enlightenment in regards to storytelling and character devel

How long have you been on DeviantArt? - since 2003, thats... 12 years I believe? o.o
What does your username mean? - Its the short form of my artists name "Kessi Riliniki". There had been other usernames I went by throughout the years, but I had never felt entirely comfortable with them. With this one, I can whole heartedly identify.
Describe yourself in three words. - Creative minded INTJ
Are you left or right handed? - Right, although I try to use left a lot to keep it from getting jealous of my right.
What was your first deviation? - I am not sure but I recall it was one of my first digital paintings; one was of a cheetah sit
Feature #7 - ZhouJiaSheng
Havent featured in a bit, so now here's a new one :D
Featuring ~ZhouJiaSheng (https://www.deviantart.com/zhoujiasheng)ZhouJiaSheng (https://www.deviantart.com/zhoujiasheng), who draws mainly environmental works. His pieces are vibrant and lavishly textured, the landscapes he draws are on the verge of being fantasy. The colorpalettes he choses allow for a instant immersing and suspend of disbelif. His works seem very real and very natural at the same time.

By featuring deviants whose art is inspirational to me, I also wish to broadcast a broad variety of artists - I don't limit my preference to any one style and neither should anyone ;)
As such, today's feature is that of ~Maximko (https://www.deviantart.com/maximko)Maximko (https://www.deviantart.com/maximko), a german artist that draws mindblowingly realistic portraits of gorgeous girls (and a few boys :P), in a style and with skill that could possibly soon rival that of the great #sakimichan. As a marvelous bonus he also posts a step-by-step piece of each of his works, so you can study and learn from the master ;) I'm certainly enthralled by his work :love:
