First batch of books!

Was a little nervous that the printing might go wrong because I changed one picture in the book. Thankfully everything looks right, and now I can order more without feeling nervous anymore. XD Will be getting another batch next week~~. (Some of you are part of the 2nd batch!) It's taking around 2 weeks for the books to be printed and shipped to me, longer than when I only printed one book (it only took a week then).

I shall be packing the books tonight and mailing some off tomorrow. After I finish writing my Parallels assignment, that is. |D;; I turned my assignment in, but I better get it into better shape before fics are revealed on Aug 15th!

I see I have a Parallels gift waiting for me~~

Thanks! It's more convenient this way- having an almost entirely complete list! I definitely saw Moon before, but I don't remember who the second one was XD

These are all so AWESOME! So many different designs.... how long did it take you to design all these? So cute!
I really like Ice (like, expect some fanart of your OCs kind of like). Also, the fact that they have unifying yet distinct outfit designs (like a mix between the LSK novel, which were way too distinct, and the Female Warrior, where they were all dressed very similar with a few variations), so you can tell that they are uniforms, but they also reflect the individual knight!!
(and hmmm.... I think Leaf looks like an Asher or Alexi)

And he basically does look like a bratty shotaboy in drag.... (their clothes are always vague in my mind's eye while reading, too) It definitely is!

I look forward to seeing Metal and Stone!

Waaaaaah thank youuuu <3333 it took... well, it really depends on the design I guess! But most were rather quick (I just took a huge break between some). I actually cross-referenced all 4-5 designs I had at hand! (Female Warrior, Yasha & J.U. novel designs, manhua designs, and even in-training uniforms for Sun, Judgement, Leaf and Storm) Since I really have a thing for personalized group uniforms, I grabbed at the chance to use those... loincloth things based on the first generation, haha. Combine that with with asymmetry and my unhealthy love for buttcapes/coat tails and this is what you get |D I feel like you can really see which design I used as base inspiration the most for each knight respectively xD;;

Oooooh, Asher! Asher's a great name, I'll take that one! *^* Thank you~~~ <3

buttcapes! hahaha I'm dying... X'D
Yes, you can tell. I can see where the different aspects of each design are from and it's really cool to see how you incorporated all of them. Also, they seem to be very fitting future/updated versions of the first generation uniforms (I have always felt that some of YaSha's clothing designs look more like casual clothes than uniforms or armor. JU heavily based her designs for everyone but Judgement and Sun on YaSha's designs, but she made them a little more like uniforms).

You only have one more to name!! Yay! You're welcome~~~~

Ssssh, buttcapes are the greatest invention ever! They are a thing of beauty ûu
Aaaaah, that's great to hear >u< <33 That's what I was trying to achieve! And yeah, I feel the same about YaSha's designs, or the novel designs in general... So I'm just seeing most of them as their everyday clothes, with everyone wearing fancier outfits for special occasions (like the uniforms they wear in J.U.s insert illustrations at the beginning of v2, aka the hymning and parade before the coronation) and added armor when they're planning to go into battle, or maybe even just patrolling. Demos' YaSha vs J.U. design changes really work well for that, ahaha~ But his asian attire doesn't sit quite well with me as the setting itself feels very western style fantasy to me... Although the novel design I like the least is actually Vival. It just seems so... plain. Fashionista Sasha would surely be outraged! How can a Moon Kight look that un-sparkly! *shot*
(And I highly appreciate J.U.'s version of Lesus. YaSha's design wasn't ugly or anything, but it never felt imposing enough to me, like he was missing something. The pauldrons and and cape really do the trick! (Also, I'm truly a gothic ouji at heart, so black and dark red with silver accents and crosses hit right home with me... *coughs*)

[UPDATE:] Soooo here are Cygnus Metal and nameless Stone! Finally done ouff. *falls over*

I agree about the asian attire- the setting is very western/medieval. So, I've never been a fan of Demos' novel design for that reason. And yeah, Moon's clothes are way too boring! Maybe something Vival would wear, but definitely not the Moon Knight
(all the Judgment designs go above and beyond the description in the novel- which is just a plain, black robe.... but I like J.U.'s design, too. Judge should look imposing, and looking like an actual judge just wouldn't really do the trick. YaSha Judgment's outfit just looks impossible to fight in. I know he's supposed to have black leather armor on under the robe, but it's all so flowy- if I were I child in LSK, I'd be like: OH I'm gonna try to annoy the Judge knight and get him to chase me just to see if he trips over his robes!)

OOOOOO did you name Stone yet??? Those are both really cool! Stone's hair looks badass (I wonder what his personality is like) But I wouldn't want to be Metal, as his outfit looks like it would take forever to put on- so many buckles

(Please don't annoy the Judgement Knight! Even the actual person would probably not care too much in the end, your family will be terrified! Although I can see the temptation... I wonder how many young Twelve Holy Knights-in-training succumbed to the temptation over the generations, knowing they might end up in trouble with their respective teachers, but not with the Judgement Knight in the way the general public would think their children would...)((also I wonder how often Lesus and Chasel stepped on their robes especially during their first days of wearing them... I imagine Chasel have the higher score ~~and Neo laughing at him if he tripped~~))

Nah, forever nameless Stone |D;; I mean, not yet!
I wouldn't be surprised if Cygnus sometimes just sleeps on top of his blanket without undressing first, just flopping right over... But that's probably uncomfortable. The lengths one goes to to look cool!
Stone's actually quite the sweetie, ahaha |D He has an awful memory, so he carries a small notebook to jot down his more important decisions and opinions so he can still be stubborn about them later. Even though he's on the cold faction, he actually smiles quite a bit... while not accepting any discussion about his words and actions like a Stone Knight should- In his free time he dabbles in handicrafts, like knitting scarves and the like for the others. Each and every year. Since he always forgets if he did so the year before or not and everyone should have a warm scarf to wear. (Including their Hell Knight, even though the twins don't make an official appearance as twins until later. They all know they have a Hell Knight somewhere after all and that Sun and Judgement know him, so he just hands his stuff to one of them to pass on!)

I know, right?! They'd be scared to death (and very mad....)
(hahahaha, omg, maybe that's something Chikus would have attempted....)

Your Stone OC has such a cute and detailed personality! He needs to find a good and fitting name ASAP!! I hope he gets one soon :D :D and, actually, Robby sounds like a great name after reading about Stone XD

Sorry, his name is Illeah now |D;;; *totally different direction* It was just the only name of those I liked that actually stuck with my memory... Either I remember an OC's name instantly or I'll forget it forever, ahaha. xD

Yay he has a name now! I like that name, it's unique and fits in very well with the rest (it'd have been pretty jarring for him to have such and ordinary name such as a nickname for Robert XD)
