		Sooo... I just realized. Why is Daian punching with his left hand? The dude is right-handed.&lt;p/&gt;
		Uuuuhhhhhh. Oops. Crud. ^__^;;;;
		&lt;p/&gt;
		P.S. On a final note, I've joined this comic of the week thing. Every Sunday/Wednesday, I'll be posting a link down below to another comic, along with a quick review. Don't feel forced to visit or anything, but it's there if you're interested.

I'm a little gloomy about having to sacrifice quality for a smaller comic size. Oh well. In the meantime, I've discovered that I multitask really well. Watching TV shows at the same time as drawing comic tends to lead to having a lot of comic done before I even know it.

I didn't update on Wednesday, so here's two pages to make up for the lack! One's on TWC as usual.&lt;p/&gt;

Mr. A: Your criticism is quite valid. ^^; Catalyst has a weak beginning because I was relatively young when I started it and had little storytelling sense. I'm trying to catch up now, but it's awfully late in the day and hard to do. I'm glad I made it, though; it's taught me a lot, so I'm going to finish it. :)

You won't believe how -hard- it is to dye jet black hair. I had to bleach mine twice just to get it orange. Oh well.&lt;p/&gt;

If you go back to the early chapters (which I'm sure no one rememebers), the fox, 'Re, is actually supposed to kill Kai'. Poor girl, eh. Looking back, I think I could have done better storytelling by focusing more on Kai' than on all characters overall. If Catalyst has a main character, it's Elei, and Elei's not really the type you sympathize with. hmmm. oh well.

(I knooow! DX Poor Kai is like a gutted fish.)&lt;p/&gt;

Anyway, long time (one and a half weeks!) no see. &lt;p/&gt;

I'm currently living in Quito, Ecuador. It's a cute city. Reminds me of home. Not being able to speak Spanish is a pain, and due to work (I'm a code monkey intern at heart) I don't really have the time to take classes.&lt;p/&gt;
Good news is that the comic shouldn't be much affected. I think I can still get out two pages a week. That's cool, eh? =D See y'all Sunday.

Two page update today! So I've linked one from the most recent, and another, as usual, is on TWC. Poor Kai', huh. It's okay though; she grows up.&lt;p/&gt;

I may be late updating for the next week or so. I'm moving to Quito, Ecuador for a co-op, and will have to get myself a nice cheap scanner before I can do any more comic. =3 But I'm excited about it!

To make up for being late, I'm updating two pages today. One, as usual, is on TWC, the other is linked above. (For reference, 'Re says that the Gifts are power way back in chapter 3.)&lt;p/&gt;

Also, despite technically being about a middle-school girl who falls in love with a dog-man, Inuyasha is actually a pretty good story.

They raised her up a lady but there’s one thing they couldn’t avoid... &lt;br&gt;
&lt;i&gt;Ladies love country boys&lt;/i&gt;
&lt;p/&gt;

Or maybe not. It remains to be seen if Elei is a lady.

Barely had time to breathe these past couple days. School is at 'em with a vengeance.&lt;p/&gt;

I tried some tricks with the inking and hair in today's page. The first time I ever drew Elei's room was around &lt;a href="/comic.php?comic_id=29"&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;. I visibly improved a lot in the early pages of Catalyst, but lately I've been a little stagnant.&lt;p/&gt;

However, I did watch a little anime the other day and picked up a cool new way of painting trees. Shows what I'm really looking at, doesn't it? :P
