Some of you already know about this from the con but I can finally be out with it that I'm doing a series for TOKYOPOP!!!! Hooray!!! It's called "Fool's Gold", and here's the basic premise:

Penny, an aspiring fashion designer, comes to a realization that every girl at her school is fatally drawn to jerks. She decides to form an underground club that identifies these jerks and cures her members' addictions to them. Penny's nickname for these jerks is "Pyrite", or "Fool's Gold", thus the title.

So that's the surface plot, but really, I'd say this series is about love, fashion, deceit, labels, growing up, and the complexity of human nature.

It's set in a mountain touristy town in Colorado.

Here's my protagonist, Penny:





And here are the other characters:

Thanks, ca_jas! So do they look older, then?? This is a good thing to know!! Thanks for the feedback.

Shady: Thanks a million!! Sorry the pics are so big; I just realized they're probably pain-in-the-butt big, but I didn't consider that since my monitor's fairly big. Hmmm dunno if it'd be worth it to resize everything...

Yaaaaay!!! I love your fashion sense. *_*;

+ "EARTH ROCKS" XD

Blake can be my sworn enemy anyday. <3

*likes how completely vapid her comments are* :D;;;

But yes, it's mega interesting to hear more...*_* You didn't tell us as much when we were flipping through your portfolio. It was funny how much OTHER stuff you kept accidentally telling us, though. XD; Poor Tento either can't lie, or compulsively lies!

I...I forgot how cute freckles were. *_*; I want to go have some on a character now~ (They were going to be on one of my main characters, but I decided they didn't suit him...)

Waaaah I used to be a compulsive UN-lier and now I'm both that AND a compulsive lier! It's just random...

Actually, I think I lied to my aunt BECAUSE I was so pissed off at myself for not lying at other times aka giving out my cell number MA people and talking about my characters to you guys...

Oh, and I finally told her I lied to her. It sucked, but I can't just live like that...

Yay for freckles!!!

Quick comment from Sheb, here:

Nicole Hamilton is sexy.



And with that, I disappear back into the Photoshop caverns!

Glad you're liking Nicole, Sheb!!! She's supposed to be cool...and stuff.

Thanks, Aimi! Yessssss!!!!

Kinda weird celebrating this late, but I'm still super-happy, so I guess it's appropriate!!
