June 6
For those who Donated, thank you. SephZero, the Clock, Sirusstar thank you!. And guys I'm still taking avatar or pinups cmissions. When I say Avatar it doesn't mean it wont be full body. I'm just saying I'm doing comissions about one particular image, pic rather than a sequence or comic which take much time. So let me know, the reasons for this is to be able to re-design the website for you :) . Comissions will be open until further notice, take care.

As you see a lot happened in June, I auto published my comic in my country and so  far it has been a crazy experience. So far I've attended 1 con, but the aftermath work, publicity and specially the distribution hand by hand to every single store it has been a hard work, but a satrisfactory work nonetheless.
I still promise I'll be working now into the pitching of the comic and see the chance to get it published for north american or international people out there. Wish me luck about that.

Comissions ar eopen,  I'm doing avatar according to descriptions or photos for $5 bucks. Contact me if you want one. Thank you again and you'll be blessed by Luna forever.

BTW, I've updated the Archives section of the website. Now you should be able to browse into the pages more easily.

Chapter 1 is Done. The Cover #2 is having a little tweak from the old version so it will be posted on Saturday. Then I'll take a small break a
until Tuesday for the new page 1 for the Second Chapter, yeah a new page. Take care.

Leo

Due the ammountof info for Spanish readers, I'm not doing an english update this time! Sorry but I'll be back with mre info soon ;). But if you wanna know more, ou can check photos of the past Con at the forum!

Review del Lanzamiento Alfa Luna nº1

http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=102146242408

Éxito! Es la primera palabra que se me ocurre para resumir lo que fue la jornada del día Sábado en la Anime-Expo de Santiago de Chile. Fue un día intenso que no me dio muchos respiros para curiosear como creí ilusamente. Para comenzar, llegué acompañado con Eduardo Barraza -Organizador de la ConCómics de Valparaíso- (A la que vamos a fin de año) un poco antes de las 10 de la mañana. Un poco atrasado, pero lo suficiente para estar listos para recibir a la gente que entraría una hora mas tarde.

La primera persona en estar “al pie del cañón” era Ternovik, mi compadre quien engrisa las nuevas páginas del cómic que ya sacaba cuentas de que hacer con los derechos por si me había pasado algo  por el atraso (jajaja, iluso).

El lugar era amplio y algo frío sobre todo en las primeras horas de la mañana. Y los Stand se separaban en 3 ramas: Videojuegos, Tiendas de Venta y Dibujantes Expositores. Habían pantallas gigantes , una galería para un escenario al que luego irían un montón de gente disfrazada para inagurar el evento cosplay.

Lo primero que hice fue repartir el cómic a los compañeros artistas para que vieran si les gustaba lo suficiente para quedarse con una copia para el final del día. Desde ya los saludos a los chicos de Adam 6.0 que debutaron su cómic en un stand cercano (visiten su web), a la gente de Cosplay Zone y otros que no recuerdo que aprobaron Alfa Luna con un dedo arriba.
A quien debo retar es a Nobita que en último momento no fue cuando se había a comprometido con Ternovik a ser los vendedores oficiales! Un Dardo a la distancia xp, pero entiendo que su tienda estaba primero (igual nomás!). En su reemplazo llegó “Alejandro 2”, que fue nuestro corresponsal fotográfico y que podrán ver en varias fotos posando con mas de una chica a su lado! (pssst, es casado).

Y así cuando entraba tímidamente la gente a primeras horas del día, no fue sino Wan, mi compadre y amigo -admin- en el foro quien llegó a comprar la primera revista de Alfa Luna!! Wooooo! Eso si que no me lo esperaba. Si hasta compró polera!! (Que no estaban a la venta xp). Un gran abrazo a él por que nos acompaño durante todo el día.

Pasado el medio día llegó mi hermano David a ayudar (cosa que me sorprendió) -creó que por fin ha leído mi cómic :P- y junto a un amigo mío, el Jerry, quien ya tenía polera de Luna desde hace un tiempo para por fin darle el uso correspondiente!

Pasada las horas con toda esta gente fue mas que grato vender, conversar y firmar, firmar y firmar! Recuerdo a más de una persona decir que ya seguían el cómic en forma online desde antes, lo que me llenó de alegría ser reconocido cara a cara. Una chica en especial me mencionó que su profesor le había recomendado el cómic y que desde entonces lo leía, wow! (Me contaron que se fue con la revista con sus manos sosteniéndola junto a sus mejillas o.O). Conversé con más gente y hasta me ofrecieron ser profesor de dibujo por ahí (Clases particulares). Todo bien!

Mucha gente leyó el cómic en el mismo Stand y fue grato que al acabarlo decidieron sin titubear comprarlo :). Sentí mucha satisfacción en ese sentido y el día paso volando. Muy tarde y con un par de minutos libres, gracias a mi hermano y los chicos que me acompañaron logré comer un pollo y papas con bebida.
Creo que los demás disfrutaron mas del panorama que yo, habían chicas muy bellas en el cosplay como la jueza invitada y maestra en el asunto Franchesca Dani que vistió de Hilda de Polaris (Saint Seiya). Vi por ahí clases de doblaje improvisado y todo tipo de fanáticos.
Pero toda jornada llega a un final y poco antes mi primo Feña logró “colarse” antes que cerraran para lograr adquirir mi cómic! XD. Me quedaste debiendo 10 lucas! Pero bueno. Con todo el grupo nos fuimos a conversar y tomarnos un relax en un mall cercano.
11 De la noche, de vuelta a casa.

Fue una jornada casi perfecta, que me da mucho ánimo para las siguientes que vendrán, sobre todo con el apoyo incondicional de mis amigos a quienes no esperaba en forma tan numerada. Como le dije a mi hermano este es es uno de muchos pasos, sólo espero seguir en el buen camino. Saludos!

To Begin with:

- The Characters profile Section has been updated. It contains new art for Luna, Collie and Fang.
http://www.alphaluna.net/characters.htm

Also, the new gallery for Alphaluna will be here: http://alfaluna.deviantart.com (notice the "f" instead the "ph", the other was taken >.<). This is due the coppermine gallery that I used to run was a magnetic thing fr spyware and stuff, so I'm getting rid of it. It will take some time to move all the stuff in there but I rather do that that get loaded with virus in the future.

For future donators, or if yo're one of them who donated, you also have to send me an email asking for the extra content (like the colored comic) so I can send it to your email. Some people don't use the same email related to paypal to the one where they can get large files. So let me know. I'm updating that info too.http://www.alphaluna.net/donate.html

Oh! Wanna see something cool?? I got a gift some time ago from a great Artist, Gryf! He did some sort of a Luna face animation from my comic!. Check it out here:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bM7_iE1ZbQQ&feature=channel_page

This week I got the first copy printed of Luna Issue nº1, and it's fel great to have somehow have closed this chapter. Soon I'll be preparing myself for the big event in my country. wish me luck.
For the international future release,  I'm trying to pitch the comic and see if someone would like to publish it, I have to try.

That's all by now. Page 25 conclude the 100% new pages for this second edition of Alpha Luna nº1, revision but updates of pages are not over and you'll see panels here and there with some changes for pages to come. Anyway,take care and thanks for stoping by and read my comic.

For english speakers, as I said in the previous entrey the comic is being published here in my country. So lets be patience for the 2nd edition which it will be english. But.... if you consider to get the spanish edition anyway, there is always a chance. Let me know if that happens to be your case. They will be ready through the second week of June.

For those interested in other werewolves and trasformations comics. I'm doing a separate mini comic which involves a girl and fur ;). It has an adult aproach, so be aware. It's fully colored and if everything goes alon I'll be posting 2 new pics every week, check Luna's forum at The creativ Den.

Leo

My aplogies for the people who didn't notice news from since I couldn't enter to livejournal due ip blocking or something. I left a small blog status a few days ago, here is a copy paste of what I've been doing:

Hello guys!
For some reason I haven't been able to login into my livejournal (Luna's web journal) from my current location, ip block or something, I really don't know.

So I'm here letting you know what I've been doing so far:

1- Apartments!, I've endured 32º C degree at sun checking about 20 places where I'll be going to live next. I didn't expect to take more than a few days...but 1 week later I'm still with paper work. So yeah, basically I'm moving soon to not travel that much between my Collage and home = More time to draw! yay!. I expect that to happen in the upcoming weeks.

2- I got a publishing deal with a friend for Alpha Luna Issue 1. Bad news?, the first edition will most likely to be Spanish. Why?, because since it will be a local -city- distribution, I'll get money back right away. Thus second edition would be english.

When?, I'm trying to put a date for June if evreything goes right.

4- I know everytime I miss a date I start bashing my head with the table (it has a lot of holes I know) as a few of you start playing with a vodoo doll of me >.>, but I'm helpless to place a time of work when I'm taking so much to draw one page, specially when I'm trying to produce something better of what I did in the begining (back in 2005). Things need to change right now.... So I've got the help a great person which is a great artist. I don't wanna spoil what her part will be on the comic itself, but I'll let you know when it happens.
-

Update note, I'm getting a place for the Anime-Expo Convention her in Chile where I'm realising in paper book Alpha Luna (spanish edition). I'll be taking photos and stuff so you'll be seeing what is like.
In a side note, some of you guys should undertsand that even if I've not posted anything new over the website it doesn't mean I'm not doing anything. You don't realize how much I've wrote and worked over the sript again and again :P, Yeah I'm stubborn if I don't get it right.

I'm doing a lot of things, and that means I'm preparing and setting the table for what will happen when the comic starts rolling. I still feel I haven't begn the comic but rather set the place to make the things work out. And I repeat, this year will be very special -add a wink here- , take care, just lurk around here some time to time and you'll see, thanks to all.

Leo

Bad timing for get disconnected *shrugs*, yeah things have been a little complicated for me to pay the bills. But I'll go through.  The past few days I went to inscribe myself for another year of collage, hope it turns good this time.

The page is coming This Friday, and that will be the new days of updates. I'm now working on the past "shades" , well actually my friend does that job but I'm niptick so I end up doing half of it too. See you soon!

Leo

As you see here I decided to color the pic I posted a few  weeks ago to update the characters profile with a fresh idea. I'm trying a new direction here moving away from the standars dark themes I used to add for backgrounds. This time, colorful to display a bit of optimism for people interested to take a look into Alpha Luna.
Her background is Luna's house updated for future references.

And... only for you, you can pick up a new wallpaper of it from here:

http://www.alphaluna.net/aunl/displayimage.php?album=1&pos=2



Leo

First, if you haven't noticed , Alpha Luna got his own forum!!. So go there join in and howl :D

Second, the shades for pages 7 didn't appear because I was too busy to put them in when my pal Jano sent them to me. I'd be uploading page 7 with shades probably this Monday.

So... Page 8, we have a couple of major twists around here, an no....don't worry this won't turn into "A werewolf girl karate" , what I do mean is that this time around we see the point of view of her pairs, and in this case, her gymn teacher about what Luna is or what looks to them.

A few people told me that being called a "tomboy" was very close to the werewolf dilema. Some girls just don't feel comfortable being a cliche of feminism, therefore the dilema of not fitting in is what drives Luna story into place. Luna is not a "nerd" girl because of the glasess -which in my mistake- I used them to define a grade of shyness, now I kinda... regret using them. After all Luna is more of a ... well, you better read next page to see what I mean. XD

In another news I just saw Underworld 3: Rise of the Lycans, on which... I have mixed feelings. Most of the people who I know have posted how cool it's and how great it's compared to the previous films. I do agree is better than the second movie and probably better than the first film (Mmmm I'm not sure). UW3 is a well crafted movie in the tech department....  but no so good in the "blue" department which took the whole movie into a eternal blue night, werewolves... I mean Lycans were suppoused to be their protectors during the day, no?... anyway.

The story is smooth, the characters are quite interesting and the best of all is that I feel that I was rooting for Lucian when he scaped from his prison , and then the most stupid of arbitrary storylines happens. Lucian decide to go back all alone to rescue her lover....alright, in despite of having a meeting minutes before with hundred of werewolves! Previously he helped to some slaves from the werewolves and he learned he could communcated with them, later he meet them at their cave... and then... he fights alll alone to his probably close death? (I'm not spoiling, in UW1 he is a live alright :P). Anyway....in despite of this lack of sense it  was quite a good movie, the werewolves were ...ok (Some hairless, cocodriles jaws or brainless... but meh, they were cool somehow).

The guys who didn't know what would happend to them (because they were infected) later were suddenly changing when they needed to (In despite of being under the fullmoon for several nights/ hours?).... and for Lucian , sometimes he changed ...and when he most needed to (save ***!) he didn't. Moonlight, rage??...its never explained how the  transformation works.. more than moving the story. But anyway,  I give to it 3,5 howls out of 5 to this film.

-UPDATE FEB 15 SUNDAY-


Dang, Murphy's Law. I'm working on the page Right at this very moment. I had to redo the whole scene since I changed a few things on the script and in the end I wasn content with the final look, so I changed the whole layout.

Second, I'm working now on Manga Studio for the outlines. Something I wasn't quite sure to go on...I finally decided to do it.From now on I'll be inking digitlly for the rest of the series as I get the use to it. It's not neccesary faster, but it worth the clean look of it.

Third, I sould learn to say no to family celebrations.

Leo





First, thanks to all of you people who did support this new direction , this new begining as I stated before. I'm really thankfull to those who understand that these changes are being made for the better...and this doesn't mean a full remake, because it's not. 

I'm trying to be clear enough so people don't get wrong ideas. What I'm doing to put it simple...it's like an "especial edition", Star Wars fans will understand, a "director's cut" as someone said. Because this means the main structure of the story won't change, character profile won't change.  In the other hand "remakes" take an original idea and they change it -in some cases- totally , and I'm not.

Here are the details:

Issue 1:  It will have about 6 new pages. A few are edited (pages 2-5 as example) Rest of the pages are just the same.
Issue 2 and 3: WON't have any changes. Probably a small edit here and there (dialogue and mayybe art).

I know it feels like I'm repeating myself, but some people didn't get it the first time >.<.

2- UPDATES

As you realized, this last page (6) has a major change which will lead to new pages that I'm at this very momment working on. Because of this,  the production of comic pages will be back to normal : 1 page a Week , and next it's coming this Saturday.

Once the new pages be gone and the old pages get back, they will be updated in a blink. Probably uploaded with 4 pages a day. To make it clear:

A- NEw Pages - 1 Week
B-Edited Pages - 1 or 2 Days
C- Old Pages- 4 pages a day

This works to make a smooth and fast walk to get back were the story left off, page 26 Issue 3.


3-ABOUT THE LATEST PAGE (WHY) 7- Luna's Last Name

Previously - I mean in the original edition- Luna awakes in her dorm to be followed with some exposition of what trouble her mind. She can't remember her past...almost like she was reading her own profile. A very poor way to introduce a character ala "Mary Sue". In the other hand - and originally- I Had the intention of her waking up directly at her school. But I changed the good idea for this one...just because I decided to use the same paneling of a previous comic of mine "Teen Fangs", which was a draft for what would become Alpha Luna.

I used that page as refference and I came with the lame idea that Luna would cut her hair...just when I'm introducing her. Great!, just a smart way to introduce Luna with 2 different looks  in about 3 pages!  Way to go with new readers trying to understand Luna character(Sarcasm btw). If Luna was intended to grow her Hair longer with the upcoming trasnformation...as some kind of "revelation" it needed to work as surprise. And this was ruining that whole scene.

Second, she suffers of what are symptoms of the upcoming change. Why?, because as the dream ends,  it says "I release you" (deleted text with the original pages) stating a momment in which Luna's body is ready to become what She really is. So her body was "chained" and the catalysth was the hing the werewolf walking in the night is holding in his paws. That wolf btw was...Fang, but later I realized that Fang couldn't be aware of the powers of the Rune, not that way at all.

Third, Luna says hi, we see her mother, Collie and some news about "The Chupacabras" ... subject that leads to no where and it's never evolved. At least not in the first 2 Chapters. So, it wasn't important .  Of course I wanted to put a sense of menace with those news. And that menace - The Animas- will be very present. And probably that info will be explained much better in future pages to come, no doubt about it.

Then we have this useless chat between Collie and Luna about a lover and the lack of interest by Luna. And if I was going to introduce the characters whereabout with this dialogues I failed. What is Luna's life like?, How the people see Luna? and what kind of relationship, more than love chating, has with Collie. That's what I'm trying to do here, at least this time.

BACK To the New page nº6 -

Luna's last name is Diaz, why?....because that was the original last name I planned using for a while.  Then I thought it was too "obvious" and silly. Also because Diaz is a popular last name related in particular to a famous comic character (Bruno Diaz stand for Bruce Wayne in spanish). Then , I decided to use "Slivie" as a variable of   "Rhea Silvia", the name of Romulu's and Remus mother, who took care of the babies from the wolf.

And last year something weird happened, I actually found a girl named Luna Diaz XD (And no, she didn't look like our Luna ;). I'm not makings this up, for real. So I felt like I wasted a good opportunity, and here we're again.

4- Special Thanks

- Paladin Ciel (http://paladin-ciel.deviantart.com/)
Because of this great person I was able to recover the Journal and have enough cash to resist the last month and keep Luna site running. Thank you.

- Sinner Chrono,  master of websites ... helped me to recover a lot of stuf and make a new site for the old gallery.

PS: People concerned about the Lobo Gallery, this time try dot.com , you know what I mean, no?. If not, write me down at licantro (a) gmail.com

Leo

-UPDATE January 6-
So the Second and Third page are up and a glimpse of new changes are coming to surface. Originall the wolf was entirely different and when my ideas at that time were focused into  increase the tension and fear of Luna, I tried to come with something unique, not quite a wolf but something similar enough to make her feel frightened.

Now, the new direction try to evoke a new sense about what the wolves represent. I'ts not up to me to say exactly what it is to not spoil anything. But certanly the fear of Luna wasn't just the wolf.

You're free to compare the old version posted here below in the journal with the new ones.

Leo
--------
Hello there guys. I know, so much time has passed since I started the comic (2005) that the pages turned yellow even in my computer... *sigh*, life can suck sometimes and Alpha Luna wasn't going to come out the way I hoped with the events I had to attend. Family and commitments took most of my spirit to conitnue AL in the best way possible, but I never said I'd quit. A few may interpretate my past entries to realize my mood wasn't in his best shape. But belive me when I said it was neccesary for me to step back just a little to arrange my life from top to bottom: priorities.

Later -at the end of the past year- , I have to admit I didn't have the courage to say a word, I wanted to prepare something that could rise what I had to that momment. Friends came to me and opened doors to let me publish the comic... and then   I realised that much of what I did back in 2005 was poorly executed, the story wise, characters development and key designs... and I had to make a decission....

So what we have here? A cover? NUMBER 1?

People familiar with my work will recognize this new Cover Page as a "remake" of an old illustration of Luna (2004). Same pose, different look. And this one was going to be the Official Cover for the First Issue back on those days. And actually was the very FIRST illustration prepared for the comic. But...then changes in the story suggested me a new approach, the result was a girl with glasses and a beast lurking in her shadows / spirit. Now, not my favorite at all.

"But WHY #1?ª"
- So as I said before...for me to come and to publish the comic I really needed to check what I did 4 years ago. And to tell you the true I wasn't feeling in high spirits with a story so badly introduced and with characters that in despite of their charism, where thin in development, specially Luna. In a full review I found 10 pages were saying nothing at all and there were scenes.... that were there to just plain confusing -like the spirit trip of Luna (nude) seeing Fang because....it was cool?. Ok, actually I had and idea behing that.... but a bad idea.- And finally...here and there problem with the art itself. But I won't say more... (until later).

"So....are you doing a REMAKE?"
Actually yes, I'm editing, changening, drawing new pages, new scenes and touching here and there dialogues to make the first chapter of AL the story that had to be. Alpha Luna is starting again...

"All OVER AGAIN?!"
No, The first Issue will have major changes. But once the new pages get done, the rest of the pages untouched (half of comic 1, comic 2, and the rest of comic 3) will be updated in a rush (2 pages a day). Now I'm posting a part of the upcoming scheduele of the new #1 Issue :

Feb 4- Page 1
Feb 5- Pag 2
Feb 6- Page 3
Feb 7- Page 4
Feb 8- Page 5
Feb 9- Page 6
Page 7 and forward (to be announced)

You'll be noticing small changes from Page 2 and forward and Major changes (new scenes) from pages 6 and forward.

I know a few of you may feel disappointed with this new begining, and probably changes within the storytelling won't be of your total satisfaction. But I really hope you manage to understand my point of view and see that if in the end if I'm happy with the result, I'll be more happy to continue with Luna's future.

From Now on I have a last IMPORTANT MESSAGE , I'll be deleting ALL-old- pages this Wednesday Night. Much of them will return with the new edition of Alpha Luna, and just a few wont.  Anyway, I'lll be commenting in every future entry why I did this or others changes to help you understand the new directionf of AL. Now for the people who may be new here it will be the perfect momment to visit us. It's al lstarting again , invite  friends :). And if you're still with me, just howl.

Things will change...

So basically, I'm retouching a few things from the past... to make sure issue one wil be worth printing any day in the future. It was bugging me from time ago to be the very first "new look" (short hair) of Luna on page to appear like shit.... (and the very first appearence of Collie). So for introduce the characers i thought it was important  a retouch over there. And...this doesn't stop here, maybe a few others things will be changening too, so stay tuned before various pages change dramatically in a "Lucas" way XD - for the best I hope^^-.

I'll be going now, it's kinda too late.

Me siento horriblemente oxidado. Esta página tardo su poco mas de lo normal , y es que la fatla de práctica a veces te da rabia cuando dibujas y las cosas no salen... y terminas haciendo mas de 2 o 3 bocetos de páginas.
Aprovecho para mostrarles que , al menos para mi no es coser y cantar ya que siempro estrujo ideas y formas de narrar la historia de la mejor forma posible. Los layouts o "paneling" , el diseño mismo de la página toma a veces mas que dibujar en si :P... lo otro es que tambien soy inconformista y si algo no me gusta lo rehago hasta que salga XD, pero bueno eso no se si será defecto :P

Durante esta semana a parte de dar de alta cuentas, que toamron su tiempo, arreglar una galeria y otra cosa... me puse a tratar de hacer un video de Alpha Luna, tipo promoción para tirarlo a youtube... se me ocrre la idea de una especie de trailer, lo que quiero es que me ayuden con la música que no se me ocure nada. Sugieranme temas, jpop, metal, alternativo...nosé rpg?...he escuhado harto pero no se que decidir, igual tomará su tiempo terminar eso. Me dan ganas de que fuera un opening animado, pero eso es soñar mucho =( *snif*

Como sea disfruten la página, tratatre de apurarme y traer otra esta semana.

I feel kinda rusty. This page took more than normal, and that lack of practice  makes me anger sometimes :P when things do not go the way I want ... and I end up doing more than 2 or 3 pages of sketches.
So I decided  to show you that, at least for me it is not plan of draw and singing :P and I'm always trying new ideas and ways to tell the story in the best possible way. This is called the layout or "paneling".... the design of the same page sometimes takes more than a draw itself:.. also I'm an nonconformist and if I don't like something I'll do it againt XD, but that's not a bad things I guess.

During this week I manged new gallery accounts, which took a while, arrange a gallery ...because if a few of you noticed it was infested by malware... things that I got rided away thanks to Pedro "Chrono" *bows* and thanks to the people who noted me to the email for help (Takyoji) ...

Now I also began to try to make a video of Alpha Luna,  tkinda a trailer for youtube ... , so I  what you people to help me with the music since I can't think of anything. Suggest me themes: j-pop, metal, alternative ... rpg? I've listtened a lot ...  but at the end I haven't decided, but it wil ltake a while anyhow to make it. I wish I could have a real Anime opening, but that is dream too way much = (* * snif

Anyhow, I'll try to hurry and bring a new page this week. Take care.

I hink it useless try to explain why my hiatus, because no matter what I say... I still I'd feel in debt with you guys, readers and fan support . The true is that if it wasn't because all of you the site could've died , thanks to donations the site stood alive by itself during this 5 month of my abscence. So thanks you very much.

I have a lot to catch up, much of the donations need accounts that I have to add (5 months back) ...so it will take a while, please patience for those who are still waiting for account galleries. If yo're one of those waiting, send me an email si I can priorize those who are still around.

Luna is back, and I'm happy to feel alive again doing what I like...whis is tell her story out. During this time I have a lot to re-read about the script and I made many changes for the upcoming future regarding the appearence of new characters and how and hwere the story would move. Although I had planned this a long time a go , the path to reach those objectives have changed..., all for the best.

Now I should go back previous messages post ... Thanks again people / folks / wolves :)

No I'm not dead, but for through this 2 months I have been kinda dead from inside... I think that sound kinda ...emo?, cheez....  but to tell you the truth I've feel like shit , yeah that sound more rightfull. You probably thought I was off the Comic for a while but I've been away from more issues than that. I went through a small surgery (nothing big) from which later I felt terrible since the results where not those espected, and then a close relative died making things more complicated than they used to be, I felt worst since I started to recall I wasnt a big help to begin with... when he used to sleep in the next room.

Regrets and all that... and I then I couldn't pick a pen for a a month or so... Of course I've been dealing with the studies that were pushed away with the surgery and it gave me some head-aches when I had to confront the lost time. - Talking about lost time- I can't say that I wil not lregret the time I've lost not doing much for Luna... but I was going to do something I was expecing to reach a better mood. So, Meanwhile I've been searching the way to make paper-book of AL a real thing. A few may now Lulu.com where I'm expecting to deliver it. I have to finish a new drawing designs (yeah, I intent to add new stuff) and I should be ready to go on.  Damn, I really need to cheer up or I'll feel older than I am now. I just want to go on, but in the rightful manner...just be patience a little longer and I'll catch up. See ya soon.

As I see they brought confusion and expectiation at same time... The Animas are indeed the enemies of the Werewolves, but what are they exactly?, are they felines or what? ,do they still live?...  The Animas are in fact were-beast, shape-shifters?...who knows, they are felines or vulpines...and others may not neccesary carnivores. With this I'm saying that they can be anyone outside our wolves friends..., but not just one defined race like "thos evil weasel"...xD you know what I'm saying Kyllein :P

As you see, now you understand why the chapters is called "Memories" , isn't?...there still many things to reveal, but they'll come in the right time.

I know, Like some low-budget soap-opera you believed that Luna didn't know She was adopted...wrong. But is my fault really, one of the things I regret at the begining of the comic was the lack of introduction with Luna's character. One of my friends pointed it to me out, but I guess a few cliche mangas are usefull after all... like *characters drop from the bed and you see a frame with all his/her bio*. But what is done is done, move forward is all what I have on my mind right now.
A.i.r's t-shirt make its appearence here, well I took one of his drawings to compliment him on his work through this issue and year so far. If you want to help him - thing that would also help me ;)- is ask to him any comission you'd like :P, who knows...you may like his style . http://ternovik.deviantart.com/

Hey, the archives pages has been added to the web! , so you'll be able to find some pages without the problem to track it down clicking forward or previous anymore :P.  My gratitude to Sinner who is always helping me out, gracias.

And to finalize a Fan-art by Branco, a good pal.

See ya later!

Lo sé, como cierta telenovela barata algunos creyeron que Luna no sabía que era adoptada...*todo mal*. Pero en realidad es mi culpa, una de las cosas que lamento al principio del comic es no haber logrado una introducción mas apropiada para Luna. Uno de mis amigos me lo dijo, asi que supongo que algunos cliches del manga son buenos después de todo *personaje sale de la cama y aparece un diálogo escrito con la descripcion del pje*. Pero lo hecho pecho, ahora es cosa de moverse adelante por ahora.

La camiseta de A.i.r hace su aparición, bueno tome uno de sus dibujos para agradecerle el trabajo que ha hecho a lo largo de ésta reivsta/año.  Y si quieren ayduarlo -lo que me ayduará a mi tb- es pedirle algun encargo / dibujo. EN una de esas les gusta su estilo http://ternovik.deviantart.com/

Hey!, la página de Archivos se ha agregado a la web, asi encotnrarán las páginas que bsucan de formas más fácil en vez de apretar los botonces adelante y atrás para saber que se se han perdido . Una vez más gracias a Sinner por esta ayuda.

Para finalizar les dejo un fan-art de mi cumpa Branco que le quedó -como dice él- muy molón.
