Hey everyone, I made an artist page!

http://www.kahze.com

Check it out. I'm hoping this page will help me land some convention tables in the future!

Hey everyone,

Its been a busy summer between working on Tales of Akadia stuff and traveling. I was in LA for the past two weeks visiting friends and helping a fellow artist out with their booth at Anime Expo.

Though I'm home right now, the traveling continues. I'll be heading to Eufuria in Albany, New York from Thursday -> Saturday. If you're heading there too, let me know!

Hey everyone, just a note here.

I enabled the FA typing system to go to my paypal. If you ever want to support my work on here, tipping a "nom" is a great way to do so!

Thanks, that is all.

Hey, if you're coming to North Carolina's Bewhiskered furry convention i'll be in the artist alley selling copies of akadia, prints, and commissions.

Let me know if you're around!

Hey everyone. I ported Tales of Anima to new its new account and name Tales of Azima. Like I said on the last comic description I posted, the name and account change has to do with solving logistical issues for game and business development. Tales of Azima is going to be a brand out there and it needs to have its own place instead of on my personal FA account.

From here on out, updates to Azima will not be posted on this Kahze page, but rather under the user name Tales of Azima.  talesofazima

Hey everyone! I hope you all have been enjoying the story so far. Tales of Anima Issue 2 will start releasing next week and I'm excited I've come this far, even though the show has pretty much just begun.

The release will start with the Cover page which I'm thinking should come out Monday, and then the first two pages of Issue 2 will come out on Thursday as usual.

Feel free to let me know and critiques or concerns about the story here.

There's allot more adventure ahead!

Hey everyone. Tales of Anima will start releasing again this thursday. Sorry for the wait!

Okay so now that some script issues are getting out of the way, It is my job to crack down on new pages for the SECOND issue of chapter 2 which I have to make at least 10 pages of before I can start releasing Anima again. Thank you for your patience everyone. I will be putting my head down and furiously slamming these next 10 pages out so we can get rolling with releases again.

Summer is chugging along. Stay safe.

Hey guys.

Sorry about this, but we have to do one last hold on the release of new comic pages. There's nothing wrong going on, but basically my editor believes that i have to be at least one issue ahead of pages that are coming out. In order to preserve the integrity of my working relationship with him I need to place this hold for about two -> three weeks.

The wait won't be long.

That said, I'm going to be at AC this weekend. I'm actually writing this on the train to pittsburgh. If you see me around say hi!

Hey everyone. If you guys are at all curious as to what I listen to when I'm making Tales, I decided to share some of my playlist for the project here...

Link: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/1.....0f15d3a041428d

I listen to allot of music. It is very important to me. This playlist has allot of my favorites on it and I had to think about how to arrange them. I eventually decided that I would mimic my day-to-day emotional state which has fluctuated violently for many years now. Highs melting into lows. Lows swelling into highs... Its something that a collection of music can do, at least.

I'll be putting this playlist link below my pages from here on out, and if you like it - check back. I'll be updating the playlist for as long as I am continuing Tales of Anima which right now seems like forever maybe - or for as long as I am alive to make it.

Thank you for enjoying my comic, my heart is filled with happiness that people (especially furries) would take the time to read my words and see my drawings.

The first song on the track list is Siblings of Metal, which is a song I found while I was in the beginning of development for ToA and still trying to decide whether or not to make it at all. This song propelled me forward through my insecurities - which is why it is the first on the list.

Hey everyone

So the cover of chapter 2 and its first 2 pages have been submitted on here. Now that we're out of the boring human part I'm having much more fun making these pages now.

I am going over the script for ToA with my editor still but we've long since passed discussions on Chapter 2 and I'm pretty sure that by releasing now - we won't have a problem. Thanks for everyone's patience with that!

Hey everyone

Happy to say we will be resuming the regular two pages a week schedule for Tales of Anima on June 1st. The script has been completed and we are just making a final pass through all of it now. By June 1st we should be completely done or at least ALMOST done with writing.

As far as art is concerned I have painted up to 13 Pages for chapter 2 as it stands right now. I just want to make sure there's a sizeable buffer of progress before I start releasing things.

I'm excited to get summer started, hope you guys are too.

Hey everyone.

So yeah, hopefully it isn't the end of the world but we've got some persisting kinks to iron out in the script and there have already been some changes to chapter 2. Nothing has changed in chapter 1, which is also almost fully released despite one or two pages.

That said, Tales of Anima may have to go on a short release hiatus due to the script not being entirely finished. We are at the very bitter end of writing it though, so i'm sure it won't be a long wait. Maybe a few weeks. I'm confident that Anima will have a regular release schedule throughout the summer though, which is great because I think this part of the story goes along nicely with the season!

I hope everyone's been enjoying Anima so far, its been a blast for me to work on and put up - and my spirits are high about the whole project.

If anyone thinks this is going to cause a major problem that I don't yet understand, I can always reconsider and take a risk by continuing to put up pages but I feel like the worst thing I can do to my audience is have them go back and re-read stuff that i already submitted lol.

Currently there are 10 finished pages of chapter 2, but I've actually found a new workflow for background art that is extremely time efficient and eye-pleasing so I'm even finding myself digging back into the first part of Roxah's arrival in Anima and giving those pages a face lift.

Let me know if this is understandable and we'll see what happens. Maybe we solve issues quickly and I won't need to put release on hold!

Hey everyone,

If you happen to be attending Furthemore 2024, I want you to know that i'm a guest of honor there this year and have a dealers den table (table #111).

If any of you are attending let me know and let's hang out!

Other than that I'm very happy to be a guest of honor here, I've never been one before. I'm going to be selling Tales of Anima Chapter 1 here because I got it printed recently. If you happen to be here and want a copy i'll be glad to give it to you!

Stay rad everyone.

Hey everyone, i'm opening up for pay what you want commissions.

I've done this before and its gone pretty well for me and the client many times.

How does this work?

1- You ask for any kind of commission be it a comic, an animated loop, a sketch, a digital painting, or a 3D model.
2 - I get started on the commission after approving it or you are put into a queue on trello.
3 - I update you often on the commission while its being worked on, you can ask for whatever changes you want at no extra cost.
4 - I finish your piece and turn it in to you, and then you send funds to my paypal to pay for it. We can settle on the price at any time during the process including the beginning.
5 - Both of us emotionally PROFIT

I've been wanting to dive into commission work in order to help pay for the Tales of Anima metroidvania game that's in the works - so if you're curious if your money is going to a cause, that's what its gonna go to.

Thanks everyone! You can discord me, note me, telegram me, or comment here about any commission inquiries.

Hey everyone, i've uploaded a new page of anima to FA. I think i'll stick with saturday night as my upload time for now unless someone has a better idea of when I should upload.

Currently I'm working on drawing chapter 2 which is when everything gets very "furry" so i'm having allot of fun doing that. I have to say, making chapter 1 was a slog for me because of all the humans I had to draw - and personally I have no fun drawing humans. The art for chapter 2 is turning out much better than chapter 1 and I'm sure you guys will dig it. Its not to say I think i did a bad job on chapter 1, but you'll see the difference!

The Tales of Anima game is shaping up slowly but surely. I'll be posting gifs from the demo soon but not quite yet.

Hope you're all doin well!

Hey everyone, so I've decided to launch Tales of Anima on FA before any other platform. You guys will essentially be my beta readers for other sites. I just couldn't abide by my editor's wishes and wait any longer. We're almost done writing the final chapter and I don't suspect any changes to the beggining of the story so i'm biting the bullet.

Tales of Anima is launched!

You will find the first 6 pages on FA right now so you can get your teeth sunk in. Future uploads will be a submission of two pages uploaded every Sunday night so that people can find it in their submission inbox on monday morning.

I hope you guys enjoy the ride!

Hey everyone.

I'm back from my skiing trip in Colorado! Now its time to finally get Anima out there. I'm currently sending chapter 1 around to friends and family who will be my beta readers but I think the first chapter/issue is now pretty much ready to go.

My editor and I got stuck for a while on chapter 5 due to a few confusing choices and pacing issues that had to be ironed out. Chapter 6 is all that remains to be done now. As soon as the work on chapter 6 is done, I will have the green light to start posting these comics and I think the initial post will include the first 7 pages, then two pages a week after that.

Drawing wise, im currently roughing out pages for chapter 2 and I expect to be done with that this week. We'll have no trouble staying on schedule with page releases because my backlog is getting rather large now. Larger than I thought it would be.

I hope you guys understand why my editor is wanting me to wait instead of just releasing it now. If we come across problems in the story that require changes earlier on the script, we'll be screwed if that material has been released already and we have to make sure that won't happen.

I'm gonna try to hustle this project out at this point because I'm getting impatient.

Enjoy the rest of January everyone.

Okay guys so I want 2024 to be the most productive year of my life. Why? 24 is my lucky number and its also the year of the DRAGON. And I am a dragon!

I will be uploading allot. Two TF comics a week for sure and thats my promise to all of you. Additionaly Tales of Anima is coming out and I will be doing commissions as well as other art that you may see on here.

I want to die by furry art like a knight wants to die by the steel of a sword. I am committed to this battle more than anything else right now and I will stop at nothing to deliver a metric ASS ton of art to this website.

That said wish me luck, I haven't ratcheted it up since 2010 and I'm about to now for many reasons. See you out there.

Hey everyone, I just got to my hotel room for Bewhiskered in North Carolina. If you're gonna be here let me know in the comments. I'll be trying to get an artist alley spot this year.

Hey everyone, I just uploaded a new commission price sheet for 2024. Commissions are now OPEN!

Check out the price sheet in my gallery.

Would anyone be up for multi streaming on picarto?

Let me know, im looking to stream more.

The deadline for issue 1's completion will be on the 19th of this month! I am getting very close to seeing the final pages of the first chapter come to fruition. Now, as for releasing these pages - I am not sure when I can announce that yet but I'm hoping I can release them around New Years time. I am pretty confident that January will be target month for release.

As for the trailer.

Since I don't have four arms and two brains, I can only work on one thing at a time. The trailer is an ambitious piece of work and I do intend to complete it but it will probably drop after the comic actually launches. Its a little weird, I know, but it should be okay. I don't want to stall the comic release on an animation project that has an unknown amount of time left in it. SO I'm cutting the comic free of worrying about the trailer and things will be released as they get done.

We are still slated for a two page a week release (monday and thursday) and perhaps an initial release of 6 or 7 pages to start off with. Chapter 1 has 25 pages.


I'm working my butt off here but I'm aware of the fact that I need sleep and time to decompress from all the lines and shapes. I'm really hoping we can all see this launched in January and the reason why I don't release things right now is because A: I want to ensure my backlog is quality work, B: My editor is happy with what we're releasing, and C: The end of the story is finalized and there are no issues that we have to go into re-writing for. I do not forsee that happening anyway based on how things are going.

Okay, that's all for this update. Happy holidays everyone!

Hey everyone, so I just uploaded an FA submission containing the link to a rough animation trailer for the Tales of Anima webcomic!

https://www.furaffinity.net/view/54625508/

Warning! It is very rough!!!! But I wanted to share it anyway because I believe in sharing my process with everyone, especially when I think its interesting for you to see the evolution of an ambitious project.

So far I have spent around three or four days on this trailer and I really can't wait to see how it develops over the next several weeks.

The comic so far is shaping up to be ready to go. There are around 13 finished pages so far and up to 25 sketched out and planned. The script is nearing completion as well, I'm on chapter four out of six with my editor and we're closing in on being able to lock the story down!

Hope everyone's life is going well, mine certainly is. I'm having a blast with this.

God Speed.

Will anyone be there? Let me know.
