29th of January 2012
I made a little change to the menu on the left. I added 'Published' and links, but removed 'Extras'. Looking for Magical Tirza? It's added to Sci-Fi!
15th of January 2012
The first edit-round of Eternity 3 is going great. Just a few more weeks and the first round is completed! My goal is that early 2013, Eternity 3 will be released! Hurray, hurray!
I updated the Grey Gallery with 4 images.
27th of November 2011
It may not seem much, but today I created an FTP account for my server/website, so I can upload a lot easier. I also updated the Project KiMa-Characters page. Next week Serenay Moon again!
13th of November 2011
I updated the Mirai gallery. I don't know how to make a nice story around it. It's just that.
I might take a 2-3 week break in December. It's because of Christmas and New Year's day. I often forget to update if there are celebrations, so I might as well make it official!
I'm also trying to get Eternity 3 ready for my editors. I don't have many editors any more; hopefully I can manage to get at least 3 people.
23rd of October 2011
There we go, a second update in October! Gasp! I updated the Eternity 4 gallery with 1 image and the Eternity 6 gallery with 2 images. Next week will be Serenay Moon again, no worries! ^_^
2nd of October 2011
Before I start with the updates, first a little bit of news: Someone from DA donated Saint Tail # 2 to me! Thank you so much, Larkas! I now have my Saint Tail collection complete! Other news: I'm starting to dislike the printing company Librero. When they publish English How to Draw books in Dutch, they make such a different cover, it makes me think I don't have that book yet. Result: I now have a second How to Draw book in both Dutch and English. Oh well, I can always sell them when they get out of print. But it's annoying. It's money I could've spend on other books ¬¬.
And now the real update: I updated the Eternity 5 Gallery. Go and see the images =D
7th of August 2011
This monday, the 1st of August 2011, my dog Holly passed away. The character Effhaah is partly based upon her, or actually more named after her (Effhaah -> F.H. -> Frodo, Holly). I probably don't have to tell you how sad I was; anyone who lost a loved one knows the feeling. She'll be missed, but lives on in my story.
I planned to update the Project KiMa Gallery, because of the new series 'Kimu in Fantasyland'. I still updated that page, but also the Legacy Gallery, with 2 images. One of them is in honour of my dog.
11th of July 2011
I was on a last-minute-weekend-vacation with some of my oldest friends. I had a lot of fun and finally got some rest. In that time I managed to do a lot for this website. Currently, all there's left is backing up the old art files and the season 4 episodes from Serenay Moon. And believe it or not, then the website is... done. Complete. Gasp! That NEVER happened before! What will I do if everything is done?! Knowing me, I'll find another project. Not to mention I still have 'Maryoku' to upload...
Anyway, on this side of the site: Updated the Eternity 2 gallery. I moved the Gif-dolls I once made there. Yes, that's all. I had a weekend off and did a lot of HTML-coding, so now I will slack off a bit XP. Enjoy!
13th of June 2011
I updated the Eternity 1 Gallery. I added the Dolls (the Extras section is most likely to dissappear in the future) and because I had no idea where else to post it: the Tatoo a girl got, using my art. I know it's not Forever Young related, but I really wanted to post it somewhere ^_^'
23rd of May 2011
A bit later than usual, but still on a monday! I updated 3 Sci-Fi pages: Sci-Fi Gallery, Sci-Fi IceHunters and Sci-fi Dutch Secret Service. Names have been added, changed... and new characters too!
24th of April 2011
Thank you all for being this patient. I had a blast at the Elf Fantasy Fair and I got surprised by a girl... who had made a tatoo out of my art! Check it out! I also made 4 drawings; two Forever Young, two Serenay Moon.
Concerning my moving: we're busy with my 'office' at the moment. I got my scanner hooked up but... no chair to sit on yet ^_^'. I still need to organise a lot of stuff, so I'm far from done, but at least we're getting there! There still needs a lot of stuff to be moved, but it's all small stuff or boxes with drawings and school-essays. But at least: getting there!
Usually, with Easter (Happy Easter!), I forget to update. This year I didn't forget! I updated the Legacy Gallery with 4 images and the Eternity 4 Gallery with 4 images. Oh wow, 8 images!
Next week it's Queen's Day and the week after that, the Animecon. Since that is a whole weekend as well.. that means I will post Fantasy Paradox at the Serenay Moon section next week! This website is far from done... but at least closer to the end than 2 years ago!
4th of April 2011
You might think: so soon another update in this section? Well, thing is: The Elf Fantasy Fair and Animecon are coming up. That would mean 2 missed updates. To make up for that, I plan to upload Dream Paradox next week. Unless the sky would fall down, I should be able to do that ^_^.
Anyway, for this section, I updated the Fanart (3 images) and Fanart - Zakou (8 images!). I'm very happy with these new additions!
21st of March 2011
I had plenty of time to update last week. However, to me, it felt inappropriate to play 'Happy-website-updating' while there was a disaster in Japan. A disaster, that partly shares the name of this website. In honour to those who passed, I decided to stay silent. It's the reason why this week's update will be minimal as well.
Part of me considered changing the website's name after the last great Tsunami, but thing is: you only remember the things that are being talked about. If I change the name into something else, I'd hide the disaster... at least, in my eyes. Changing the name would help me forget. I don't want to forget. I want to keep on remembering the strength of water, the lives it can swallow... Water can give life, but it can also take life.
I posted 3 more References: Ao, Keiran and Yume. I should be able to share the reason of the irregular update-schedule next week or the week after. I'm not done yet, but it's finally looking good.
17th of January 2011
Welcome in the New Year! Like said last week in the 'Kitty Ocean' section, the year 2011 will be a busy one for me. I'll try to keep updating weekly, but it may happen I'll miss a week.
For this week, the last update in the Forever Young section for a while again. After all, Serenay Moon still has so much left to update!
I updated the Project KiMa gallery; 6 new images!I also added the doll I made for that series, because the dolls section (the whole Extras section) will eventually vanish.
19th of December 2010
Last week I received a gift from J.A., from The Realm of Sailor Energy. When adding it to the list, I noticed I hadn't posted the previous picture he made for me! Bad me, bad me! I am sooo sorry! Anyway, so, two new images in the Fanart section (underneath extras).
I'm thinking about removing the extras. 'Magical Tirza' can be added to the Sci-Fi section, the dolls can be added to the corresponding galleries, the Store is not used (can add the covers in the galleries or in the story overview) and the Links in/out can be added in the menu on the left.
On the Serenay Moon side - I started working on the Movies section (nothing uploaded yet) but wow, what a work! Only re-doing the scene section took already half and hour. Can you imagine how long each scene will take?
IMPORTANT! I will take 2 weeks off from updating this page, because of Christmas and New Year. Holidays always throw me off and I always forget to update then. Might as well make it official then. See you again in the next year! Happy Holidays!
12th of December 2010
There we go, an update on this side of the site again. I posted 5 new images in the Sci-Fi gallery and updated the Dutch Secret Service profiles of the same Sci-Fi series. Enjoy!
15th of November 2010
Wow, that was even longer ago... I mean, last update. It's just, I don't have THAT much updates here yet. I'm mainly focussing on Serenay Moon when it comes to the updates, not to mention working on my books... and books can't be posted here. So, I am constantly working for Forever Young, but it's not much I can post.
I updated the Reference List (Rain's added!) and the Fanart Gallery (Two images of Zakou!)
I also added a 'Keep In Mind Live' list on the main page (the first page you see when coming here; above the updates), Thus far I only appear in the Netherlands, but hey, who knows what the future brings!
27th of July 2010
The last update is only 2 months ago! I'm so proud! A new bucket of fanart for you all. Zakou made some new images, Mene made enough art to get her own fanart page and well, also fanart by IceCheetah and Deniya!
I haven't linked it yet, but I also finally made a reference for Rain. I hope to have Ao's done soon as well, so I can upload them together. Somehow I'm quite inspired for Ao's outfit; I want one to match Kai and Rain's season 6 outfit. Just then in green and black. And I so want to draw the three together in those outfits. Sure, they're missing an Air User in the bunch, but somehow, Air Users are pretty rare in my story plus they tend to die early XD. I don't know why. They just do.
12th of May 2010
Welcome to... everyone who reads this, actually. I've got an update for you! I updated the Character Reference Gallery (on your left, below). With, brace yourself: 7!! new Character Refernces: Blade, Clover, Kai, Irina, Grasshopper, Matsuru and Mah-Lin, all marked with an #. I'm more or less working on Rain's reference, but I'm not really satisfied yet. He's a tough guy to draw.
Next week another Serenay Moon update. It's what you've all been waiting for!... or not.
10th of March 2010
Welcome back! Is there new stuff added? Of course! The fanart gallery has 4 new images: 3 by Zakou Nenharma and 1 by Rose74. And gasp! Zakou made so much art for me, she got her own gallery page in the fanart gallery :). I might even do that for the others who made a lot of art as well. I also added a new drawing by me in the Mirai Gallery. Go and see!
Oh, I also heard that the addresses www.kittyocean.tk and www.serenaymoon.tk are not working correctly. For the moment, you can use http://dive.to/Kitt or http://studiotsunami.keep-in-mind.nl instead!
3rd of February 2010
There we go! A new update! I posted new character descriptions at Eternity 5, 6 and 7. I also posted a new image in the Eternity 1 gallery and the hidden gallery. Is there a hidden gallery? You never knew? ^_^. Then go and look for it! Oh yeah, and book 5 is at 16%! Already? Yeah, already!
23rd of December 2009
I need to find some sort of rhythm; like 2 Serenay Moon updates, 1 Kitty Ocean, 1 Forever Young... but what if I run out upates? Oh well, at least a new update here, before the end of the year ^_^. I updated: Eternity 1, 2 and 4 galleries! 3 images and 1 interview (Dutch only; sorry!). Oh, and I started writing Eternity 5; even before Eternity 3 is combined and corrected ^_^'. Sorry, you guys! But I'm so inspired!
28th of October 2009
Only 2 weeks later... and already 4 new fanart images! You guys are the best! =D
14th of October 2009
An update, so fast again! And so much news! I started combining book 3 and... brace yourself, I started writing book 5! Yes, you're reading that correctly; number 5! I also posted 7 new images in the Eternity 7 gallery. Wow, only just now I noticed 7 images in the Eternity 7 gallery... Just a coincidence, don't worry!
30th of September 2009
An update! Holy High Ones! A good, honest update! Can you believe it?! Well, you'd better! Head on to the FanArt Gallery (Underneath Extras) because wow, so many new pieces of fanart! What's keeping yours?! ^_^
15th of July 2009
They arrived! I have them in my hands!... well, not really. They are in a box. It's not easy typing with a big box in your hands, you know? ^_^ Book 2 turned out of be way thicker than book 1; almost twice the size! And yet, it only has 20 more pages... they used thicker paper. Also, ALL books from my publisher will have a 'matte' (opposite of gloss(y)) cover, so if you have a glossy cover... know that there are only about 50 books of Eternity 1 with a glossy cover! Limited edition!
Anyway, to celebrate this, I added something in the left collom: Character References (above Extra/Store, below Series 7). A lot of people wonder how my characters look... well, I can't get any clearer than that! And no worries... this section WILL grow!
Oh yeah, and added a favicon.ico file ^_^. I'm staring at you... (if you add my site to your favourites, you'll get an image next to the link; this image should also show in the address bar.)
17th of June 2009
This week I re-read the profiles for Mirai and wow... some names will have to change XD. I mean... 'Guy', 'Woods' and 'Jastin'?! Okay, 'Guy' and 'Woods' are kinda okay, but 'Jastin' sounds way to feminine. The character will stay, but the name will most likely change. I can make up way better ones!
* On the news of book 2: Getting there. I will get the test-print this week!
* On the news of book 4: 58% and still going! I probably will have (almost) enough ideas to fill till the end of book 4.
* On the news of this site (XP): Updated the FanArt gallery. Some FanArt in there is actually a preview of what has yet to be posted! Yes, I have more to post, but not that much time. If I spread things out more... Okay, smaller updates, but more often as well!
3rd of June 2009
I updated the profiles for all the Eternity books. Not much has changed, but I added all their birthdays and hair/eye colour. Only a few characters don't have birthdays yet, but that's because they haven't appeared yet. Also, if you followed the Process Page, you would already know that book 4 passed 50%! Hurray for me! I hope to be able to create real profile images soon...
22nd of May 2009
I posted the cover of book 2 in the Store, added the ISBN to the Eternity 2 Synopsis and realised the character descriptions of book 3 and further are kinda... outdated. Will do those next!
11th of May 2009
I moved the website and added some content (mostly fanart); trying to make things more efficient and fixing the few broken links. Feel free to browse around (again) and don't forget to check the other websites!
