Hi guys! it's been a while and I know people are wondering what's been happening within the STAFF. Well, we're totally in a RUSH, so to speak. Apart from preparing for the coming 6th Issue that will be taking our stories into a whole new level, we are also preparing for several important things.
This coming October, the Manga-Making Competition is taking it's toll on me along with the AniMotion2011. I'm sure the other staff members are also having a hard time given that we have our separate REGULAR works in the morning. Here's the MECHANICS of the MM Competition.

It's funny when the VOTING for the KOMIKON AWARDS started. I was so in HOT mode that I actually promoted Ice Cream Indie to all my officemates and FORCED them to vote. HAHAHAH! Well, not really forced...more like, pushed them. They do have loads of work so they said to assist them in voting, which I did. Please vote for us:
So, yeah~ I hope you guys support us all the way and THANK YOU SO MUCH! With this renewed strength and the good reviews of Rook of the Rats, Jay and I took our time last night into starting the sketches for the 6th Issue.

ROOK of the RATS will be welcoming THE NEW ROOK (Look) XD heheehe~ I know there are several groans and complaints regarding the cover of the 5th Issue - the contents of that issue is about Rook and Nameless' past before they entered the Guild of Rats. My apologies. Teeheee~ But that's called, PREPARATORY LEAP. Ehem! Anyway! So yeah, since we've finished sketches...we're pretty happy that's ONE DOWN for the hundreds of work coming in.
For the coming issue of RR, we're presenting the relationship of each thief, the bond between Rook and Nameless (who, by that time...will have a NAME already) and the start of something dangerous. Thank you for always staying with us and keeping up with our issues <--- pffft~!
With the response I'm accepting through text, emails, twits and FBs, I'm very happy and no matter what the result of the KOMIKON 2011 will be, I'm already glad to see so much support from you all!
Thank you!
SHIN OE
