Welcome to our account dedicated to the creation of our eventual graphic novel which is currently tentatively called 'Canidae.' We probably won't be going on here much, as this is simply a project account to de-cluterize my main account. Currently, this account is dedicated to concept art for the story, but eventually it will house the pages of the comic! In the future, this account will also have a nice CSS.

Besides working on this, we're also writers and students, so forgive us if updates take a while!

We'd like to thank everyone who has 'd this account, or 'd stuff on it - means a lot to us! We'd list you all, but you're getting too numerous already! We'll try to put something up here for you all at least once every two weeks. - Rosanna & Aleria

Production Team:

Story, main & animal character & bg concepts, lineart, colour and backgrounds....

Editing, human & bg character concepts and base colouring....

Reminder: Contest ends July 30th! The more entries the better guys!! (That's in 9 days!!) See journal contest page for details.

Well, we're both pretty transient right now. Aleria is living with family on the coast for the summer and Rosanna is roasting her rear off at her family's new house. Rosanna has been working on character sheets rather randomly, probably because currently she has the artistic oomph of a cushion. (You can tell which one of us is writing this journal, can't you?) In a few weeks Rosanna (*cough*me*cough*) will be moving to North Vancouver, to study commercial animation at Capilano University. Rosanna's current assignment is to make nice character sheets and design all the animal characters for the novel, while Aleria is involved in figuring out the clothes for the humans. Rosanna probably won't start posting human final designs for a while, because she believes she'll be much better at them after she's trained up and doesn't want to have to look at crappy art on the character sheets. Besides Canidae both of us have a lot of other projects running, including Aleria's awesome story 'Darkness and Light' and Rosy's usual horde of Rimer manuscripts.

Rosanna can't wait to live on the coast. She's sick of being so warm and icky feeling all the time from roasting in her house. However, she has learned that watching copious amounts of Bleach is good for Canidae, because it makes her want to draw character sheets!

Note to Aleria: Did you say last time we met up that you didn't put all of Sandstorm's markings on her? It would be cool if you could update your character sheet of her if so, so I could make an officialized version. -Rosanna
