Oooh yeah. I'm getting even with TLC for discountinuing it ;-)

Thanks! I'm happy you liked it. It's really nice to know my work is
appreciated, it motivates me to do more!

Yeah, I'm trying to get as many of these as possible - my general theme is
gonna be a feudalist-type government with castles all around the country, and
some side-plots - like Scar's story for example, or Felix's (yet to come), etc.
> Scar is turning out to be the worst of the worst sort of villainess.
She sure didn't start that way. She was supposed to be a forest-dweller that
talks to animals, named Scar because of the charred hearts she leave behind -
as of gone-bad love affairs, not killings, she was carrying a whip only and
had a lipstick face... Then I added a knife for self-protection... Then I got
6091 and immediately tryed on the "princess storm" face...
When I showed craig the picture, he advised me to keep the storm face, and
then I had to find a reason for her anger, so I decided she was an orphan and
took her "father"'s picture. Once I was sitting in front of the computer, I
just couldn't stop writing... then I just HAD to show her killing someone. ;-)
Ya see, the truth is, I don't control my characters - THEY control me... ;-)

It will. I don't have a definite plan yet, but some ideas are forming slowly.
(And then my characters will change them all around :-)

LOL! that is so funny!
I got the blood idea from Pawel's Verneer photo:

I love Pawel's work (hear that, Pawel?) and especially Verneer. Ewan seems
interesting, but he hasn't showed up much yet.

I'll do my best... :-)
Right now, check out Lumina and his friend Peg:

Not the most original, but he'll show up later on a lot. (I'll also try to
build a house for him.)

Thanks. I'm using a digital Mavica with lots'o'cool features like 6x zoom,
Mpeg movie capability, and mega pixel images (up to 1216x912 pixels, but I
don't use that - the pics turn out too big later.). But the key, I realized,
is not the camera, it's the focus - I use manual focus instead of Auto,
because the autofocus tends to focus on the bkground of the small pictures.
With the manual, it takes more time, but turns out better. Also, it helps to
put the camera on something solid instead of in your hand. That's another
reason why I love this camera - it has a big screen and you don't have to
stick your face into the camera... ;-)
HTH, and thanks for the compliments!

btw, you just helped me think of another twist to the story:
Siffera, the future queen, isn't quite who she thinks she is. Will her fiance
ever find out? Coming soon, on:
