Hello there, long time no see.


Sadly, I am afraid that The Untold will need to be put on a hiatus (again) untill September or so. I've got a seasonal job that leaves me close to no free time to work on anything, and at the pace I am going right now, a slug sounds to me like a racing horse...


An update might show up sooner, I am not saying no to it, but just for now it seems rather unlikely that I'll be able to keep any kind of a schedule, so I thought it smarter to just let you guys know that the delay might be... even worse than usual, haha. Sorry for that, but you know, we all have to eat and pay our bills somehow, right? (QwQ)b


That's all for now.

Stay safe and see you soon, Khail and company will be back!

A small update?

1 min read
Hi, there.
I didn't write anything journalish-like for quite a while, huh...?

Well, let's get to the point, then.

There's gonna be another delay with The Untold.
The reasons are:
 - I'm once again a bit stuck with the next part ( yes, I'm messing around with the world-building way too much ahahahaha!)
 - I've quit my job and am currently thinking what to with my life, since that definitely wasn't my thing
 - I'm going on a little trip with my siblings soon and I won't really be able to work on it for a while

So, that being said, I guess The Untold will be back somewhere in October.

See you later!

EDIT
Thank you all for the understanding and your kind words. Somehow it makes me really glad that so many people says "it wasn't just a pet".
Thank you.

I don't know when the next update for The Untold will come. Sorry. Maybe it will be at the end of the month, maybe in the next one, I can't say. I just can't work on it for now.

The truth is, for the last one and a half year I've been working on it day by day, every evening. Every time I turned my laptop on, I did it with my pet rat. He was crippled so he's always just slept on my left palm or has been crawling around in search for something yummy or simply has been around, behind the pillow... No matter what happened, he was simply there with me, and somehow made me at peace with that alone. 
But few days ago he passed away. In a way he did not deserve.
And I just can't work without him around anymore.
Laugh all you want. I don't care.
"It was just a rat" you might say.
For me he meant a world. Taking him home was the only right choice in my whole damn life. And now that he's gone it's just all back to the good old "welcome darkness, my old friend".
Maybe it's been only 1,5 year, and I've been drawing that comic for much longer, but... I just can't imagine how it's been before I got that lil' guy. I can't draw, I don't want to draw, I'm too slow to do anything right now.

So throw tomatoes all you want, call me crazy or whatever. All I can do is just apologize for the constant delays from my side. You've been patient with me for all this time, and I'm grateful for that. Yet here I am, asking you once again for even more... I feel bad about it, but I have no other choice.

I can promise that the story will be back, but I can't say when.

I'm sorry that I'm not a more reliable person.

Sooo, I've been tagged to do this, like back in the last year ( sorry, :iconraycchan:, you know I'm slow at those, haha...) and I thought that maybe it's finally a good time to do this.

Rules:
1. Pick a character, and stay in character.
2. Make your character answer the questions.
3. Tag at least up to 5 people or more.

Taking an example from Raycchan I decided to go with something a bit more than a simple  question-> answer.
Let's gooo~


1. Interviewer: Have any siblings? (half siblings and stepsiblings count)

Khail: Is there any point in wasting time talking about dead people?

Interviewer: Well... And your men from Raging Crows? You're all kind of "brothers in arms", aren't you?

Asahi: Yeah, we're all a big family, right, Kal?

Khail: *gves me a blank expression* ...

Khail: Next question.

Asahi: QAQ


2. Interviewer: How many members do you know are in your family tree?

Khail: Wow,  It's just a second question and you're already getting on my nerves. Congrats, you can be proud of yourself.

Interviewer: *cough* Could you please answer the question?

Khail: *roles his eyes* None.


3. Interviewer: What is your favorite game?

Khail: Fights. Back in the Crows we used to spar everyday, in all kind of combat styles. My fav one is one vs many.

Interviewer: Could that... really be considered a game?

Khail: I guess so? It's entertaining.


4. Interviewer: How is your love life?

Khail: *chuckle*I have no complaints, I assure ya'.

Interviewer: Can you elaborate, please? Is there a special woman in your life?

Khail: Nope.  I love all women~

Interviewer: You do realize it's highly unapropriate and most of the decent women shouldn't have any warm feeling towards you, except for the burning hatred?

Khai: Hey, I'm not cheating on them, if that's what you mean. None of us seek any long-term relationships.

5. Interviewer: Do you have any royal blood?

Khail: Sure. Everybody knows that if one lives in the forest with a bunch of thugs as companions must be a prince or princess in hiding. Where's my crown, dammit?

Interviewer: I'll take that as a no, then....


6. Interviewer: If you could meet anyone, dead or alive, who would you meet?

Khail: Why wasting time on dead people again? As for the living...  That bastard Red Dog/Bronius or whatever he's called now, to slice his throat open. *grins*

Interviewer: NEXT!


7. Interviewer: What is your favorite movie?

Khail: "A movie"? You mean a move? Like  in martial arts, or Pokemon moves?

Interviewer: No, no. More like a play. You know, a theatre.

Khail: Silly mistake you did there, you're supposed to be good with words.

Intervew: Just answer, please...

Khail: I don't think I have one? Didn't see too many of them anyway, I'm not really interested in that kind of entertainments.



8. Interviewer: Have any secrets?

Khail: ....

Interviewer: ... Don't stare at me like that! It was in the script!



9. Interviewer: Creepiest experience?

Khail: Waking up in the middle of the night and seeing Azil's face staring at me with that creepy devotion in his eyes...

Azil: *murmurs* I apologize, I've been just waiting for your orders in case you needed anything...


10. Interviewer: Who is the most annoying person you have ever met?

Khail: *looks at Asahi*

Asahi: ....

Asahi: AHAHAHA, Kal, my friend, my buddy, come on!

Khail: ........

Asahi: ....

Asahi: My heart is broken. Excuse me. *sobs and leaves the room*

Intreviewer: That was a bit cruel, don't you think?

Khail: *shrugs* He's annoying as hell, but also the most reliable one. But he doesn't need to know that.


11. Interviewer: Do you go on social media?

Khail: On social-what?

Interviewer: Meaning, are you famous in any way?

Khail: Oh. Then yeah, though it's more like "infamous".


12. Interviewer: If you're in a relationship who kissed who first :3? (If you haven't kissed that's ok)

Khail: *chukles* In most cases that would be me.


13. Interviewer: Anyone you have or had a crush on?

Khail: I'd rather say that it's ladies that tend to have a crush on me.

Interviewer: Come on, there must have been some girls that weren't interested in you!

Khail: Of course. But I'm not the type to impose on a girl in those kind of situations. Who do you take me for?


14. Interviewer: What's the most embarrassing thing you've done?

Khail: *grins*  If I told you, I'd have to kill you.

Interviewer: Uhm, t-then I think I'll pass.


15. Interviewer: Are you married?

Khail: No, not my thing.


16. Interveiwer: What's your favorite place to be with your partner/friend?

Khail: Training grounds.


17. Interviewer: Who's the person you hate the most?

Khail: Hard to tell, really. Way too many to choose from. But if I had to I'd say the bloody Red Dog aka Bronius and spoiler spoiler


18. Interviewer: What's your favorite food?

Khail: I'm not too picky when it comes to food, I can eat almost anything. But I like spicy things.


19. Interviewer: What's your favorite weapon?

Khail: The most useful in a close combat ones. Daggers, mostly. I'm especially fond of karambits.


20. Interviewer: What's your favorite prank to pull?

Khail: The one in which your blade goes through your opponent's throat.

Interviewer: That's not a prank, you know, it's called a murder...


21. Interviewer: Who's your favorite amoung your team?

Khail: Akashe, I'd like to say, but then Sheyri won't stop wailing...

Akashe: Is that your reasoning to choose?! Asshole!

Sheyri : I love Master~

Khail: See, Aka? Learn from the kitty!


22. Interviewer: Is anyone like a rival to you?

Khail: When you reach a certain level it's hard to find a worthy opponent, yet alone a rival. But there are some people that wants to prove that they're stronger than me, like that wimpy Cheren for example. But I wouldn't really call that wuss a rival of mine.


23. Interviewer: Favorite celebrity?

Khail: "Celebrity"? Like one of those prissy-pants, shoving their ass in everyone's face?

Interviewer: I get it that none of them got your appoval, did they...?

Khail: *crosses his arms* Nope.


24. Interviewer: Got in any fights?

Khail: *bursts into laughter*

Intervewer: ... Moving on...


25. Interviewer: Anything to say to anyone reading this?

Khail: Why do you think anyone's gonna read this?

-END-

As for the tags - I'm not gonna tag anyone since it took me forever to do this myself.
But if you feel like it, then tag yourself! : D

Cameos Call by Antarija
Our offer:
  • starring together with a full-time prick bishie
  • a lot of nomming by an infantile oversized cat
  • burns, bites, vine whips, nightmares and brainwashing in a kinda friendly atmospehere
  •  home-made cookies so what if they're not edible
  •  coffee not free, mind you


Okay, that's enough of the same old joke, I guess.
The time has come to at last to ask for the new cameos, since I'll need quite a lot of them for next parts, so if you'd like to participate and lend me your characters, that would be great : )


Rules:
  • only OC's, no fanarts. They might be your Nuzlocke characters, but they don't have to be. Any human-like characters are welcomed!
  • when it comes to Pokemon, only those from Unova will be starred
  •  Please, give them a fantasy design. If you don't have one ready you can send me a refference to something you think that they would wear, and that'll be fine as well. (I must admit that remaking casual designs was a bit too much for me the last time)
  • full-body, colored refference please!
  • I'll mostly need them now as an audience for the Gym fight, so if you'd want to tell me if they'd cheer for the Gym Leader or the Challenger, that would be great. (I'd also want some Burgh's fangirls per se if anyone's interested : ) )
  • If you could describe your character personality in few words, that would be perfect (for example: Sheyri - loud, emotional, cheering for Khail)

-EDIT-
A bit more of explanations  that seems like I should've mentoined earlier:
  • Please, try to remember that in The Untold universe, Khail and N are the only Trainers able to talk to Pokemon.
  • Also, a small reminder again - in this universe Trainers aren't very nice people. Nobility. Aristocrats. Guys who thinks they're god-like? So sorry, but features like "nice, friendly, loves Pokemon" ect. won't be showed. (But I won't also change your OC's personalities, I'll just not show any of those mentioned earlier, they won't be used in any way that would be a contradiction to their personalities)
  • Watching a Gym fight where a Gym Leaders fights is like going to the NBA finals game or something. It's expensive like hell. And rare. Emotional. Nobody goes there only to kill some time.... So please, pick a side, no more "whoever looks cooler/ doesn't really care who wins" ect, ok...? TTvTT



Big thanks in advance for your help!


Also, please remember that I might not be able to fit everyone in right away. Your characters might get used in later parts
