So it's been forever since I've actually said anything about the Kaisura Project or...the species in general, and all matters relating to them. And I know it's caused some confusion and misunderstanding. I've gotten messages in different places asking if I've abandoned it, or died, and all sorts of things. So I thought I'd actually clear the air somewhat.

First of all, I have not abandoned the Kaisura Project, nor have I handed off the Kaisura species to someone else, or made it an open species. Anyone who tells you otherwise is mistaken, or talking out their ass.

Secondly, I am still not generally answering permission requests for people to make Kaisura characters. This is particularly notable as people have still been fucking asking me anyway, despite the fact it's been made abundantly clear to people and it's on my fucking front page. Yes, if you can't tell by my tone, this does actually annoy me. Allow me to make this very, very clear; if you persist in asking me if you can make a Kaisura character, while the statement remains up that I am not answering such requests, you automatically go on my shitlist.

If you ask Furball instead of me, you go on my shitlist, and my BLACKLIST. I am sick to fucking death of people asking Furball to try and get around me, or because they're too fucking stupid to read a bit of text on ANY image containing a Kaisura that states the species belongs to me, not Furball.

Thirdly, the Kaisura Project has not been cancelled. Circumstances came up that essentially put a hold on progress with the illustrations for each individual Kaisura species, which in turn put the project in a holding pattern. Circumstances have changed since then, but not in a way that has allowed the project to resume as of yet. It WILL resume in the near future, but I can't give a solid ETA. The reference illustrations for any single Kaisura species can take weeks to get right.

What you need to understand is that Furball is not actually the primary artist on the Kaisura project. The artist I work with for the Kaisura Project illustrations has a schedule and circumstances that make it quite difficult to make progress with the project at the best of times, but the wait is worth it, as the final products are as close to completely accurate to my intentions as possible. Furball specifically does her signature very high quality colourations of the illustrations, the combinations of their efforts are what make them turn out so well. Note that this doesn't apply to the pictures Furball infrequently produces that simply have a Kaisura form of Furball or Devon in them, those are entirely her own, so don't misunderstand. They're not related to the project itself.

I also laterally decided against using Tumblr as a dev blog of sorts for the project because the limits of what you can do with a tumblr blog simply don't gel with what I was looking to do with it. I'm still mulling over alternatives for the time being, when I have time.

Lastly, and directly leading off from the previous point: I just don't have anywhere near as much time as I used to. Primarily because of my day job, but compounded by other circumstances. This is also why I'm very inactive on her in general, and don't respond often or in any way consistently to messages and whatnot.

I do however appreciate watches and favourites people send my way, whether it's for the Kaisura stuff, or the Syl stuff. Thanks guys.

There is actually a bunch of stuff I could upload, and when I have time and don't forget, I will get around to doing so.
