Castaway Howls Promo-canceled

****EDIT 12/23/15**** It has been 3 years now since I have posted anything regarding Castaway Howls, and I would like to announced that as of now Castaway Howls will no longer be on hold and will instead be CANCELED.

The reasons why are many. Castaway Howls was first put on the back burner when my life fell apart. I lost both of my jobs, I had relationships I thought were unbreakable crumble at my feet, I had four loved ones pass away in only a three month time span. And I was struggling just to make ends meat. I have always suffered with depression and anxiety, and all this at once hit me really hard. I was not in a good place. Even now, I feel like I am barely treading water, I am still struggling. At the time I didn't even bother with the internet, let alone Deviant Art or my projects.

When I returned here to DA I took a look at this project I had left behind, and just winced. I concepted Castaway Howls 10 years ago. Some bits even sooner, back when I was a young teen, (only posted concepts on this account 3 years ago or so) when I had gone through my "sparkle dog/wolf" phase. As you can see the designs were outrageous, the characters simple with no personality at all. And the story wasn't very good either, I had gone into it blind. I didn't know much about story telling or character developement back then. It was cliched, it was boring, it was basically Black Blood Alliance mixed with Watership Down and Lion King. Nope, not good at all. Back then Castaway Howls was just something silly and fun to do during my free time. It was never something I put a lot of time, or even much effort in. And I am a much different person now. I have a better understanding of story telling and grasp of character developement.

Maybe one day, if Castaway Howls regains my interest, I'll be inspired to reboot this project. Completely rewrite the characters, story, and fix the eye bleeding designs. x-x But as of now, I have no plans to do so. </b

~Not much story info I know but I don't wish to give too much away.

Promo for Castaway Howls, a graphic novel I created. My partner in crime, :iconxxnicolausxx: reads the dialog pages/ sketched comic pages and gives me her opinion and critique.

The artwork on this didn't come out exactly the way I wanted it to, but thats simply because I need more practise. Practise makes perfect right? Castaway Howls was actually something I have been concepting since 7th grade so...about 7 years. Yeah a long time. -_-;

I'm so sorry it took me this long to post a promo I really wanted to post this last week but I've been sick with fevers and just didn't feel like leaving my bed to get to the computer.
