*Amazed*

This is just gorgeous! And the best part is it's just for me!

I could not be more happy with this and I thank you so much for making it.

And now, for two short stories about Taylor and Dean.

Story #1: Why there IS NO TAYLOR AND DEAN YET.

Well, I have posted Journal after ournal after journal and the truth is I got REALLY close to finishing the first episode of Taylor and Dean, what I hope will be my greatest and most Iconic series (when I make more of course) The problem is I am never satisfied with the way things are. So, I've made a bunch of changes, and (hopefully) these will be the last ones for a long time, but it still means no TD YET. However, this means that the series will be even greater than it would've if I would've just uploaded it now, as it is all crappy and stuff. What are these changes? Well, After lotsa (read: a little) practice with computer colouring on Photoshop I've come to the not-so-shocking conclusion that my art for TD would look so much more dynamic if coloured on PS. Secondly, I decided to combine the first episode and the second together, and turn the third episode into the 2nd (and so on...)So that the first episode would be longer and be more like a first episode SHOULD be. Which means that even if I DIDN'T have to re-do all the art I did for TD's First Episode, I'd still have a ton of art left to do anyway, so...that's another reason why it's delayed.Thirdly, and most importantly: I've been making several tough decisons lately that have to do with font, logo, better art, and more content per episode, which will(hopefully) eventually lead to me being able to present Taylor and Dean to publishers for consideration!And that is why no TD yet.

2nd Story: The story behind Taylor and Dean is this:
Taylor and Dean are brother and sister and deal with sibling rivalry, etc, but they arfe also best friends and classmates, so they have to deal with each other's relationships and drama,too. There are two main parts: The shojo-y dramatic,serious bits, that are definitly "happening" as far as the 4th wall and "canon" is concerned, and there is the shonen-esq, silly, cartoony,funny parts that will probably make up most of the series. I am hopeing for it to be in full colour. It is a manga, and IS a series read right-left.(I've become fond of that orientation)

However, the series Taylor and Dean College takes place AFTER Taylor and Dean, and will probably start BEFORE Taylor and Dean on Deviantart, due to the fact that I am preparing to premiere it to my OWN campus's newspaper.
Because it is for a newspaper, widespread through such a campus, this will be a strip and will orient left-right and in black and white in the newpaper. Though, I'm making it a point to colour each strip as well, just for DeviantArt, and/or possibly a publisher.
This series follows both Taylor and Dean still, however, them and thier friends are separated from those who ARE in college and those who aren't Taylor and Dean have to deal with the weirdness of being seperated, and Taylor herslef is having to deal with a crazy, writer room mate, and an old lover who returns while she is starting to have feelings for another.Also, this strip will be (at least I hope) funny like the regular series, and seeing it will maybe orient the watchers I have on DeviantArt to the characters I will present to them on Taylor and Dean.

, you are such a good friend to me and I could'nt thank you enough. My picture of you looks aweful in comparison to this, and yours isn't even coloured!
