Welcome to Tear of Blood.
Gloria Kitman is a vampire, able to live a human life thanks to a teardrop-shaped necklace that hides her true nature...
When another vampire decides she wants the necklace herself and comes after it, armed with a flimsy excuse, her real motivations hidden, how long can Gloria's normal life last?
Very story-oriented...
Updates may be slow, due to the fact that I just moved and my internet connection is a little spazzy.
May Contain: Vampires=Blood... Actually not much else that requires a warning. No swearing, No BL/GL... It’s a very family-friendly vampire comic. XD
The ToB Soundtrack!!!
I figured out how to add music. ^^ And not the annoying music that plays automatically, but one of those little player things at the bottom of the page where you actually have to PRESS play. ^^ I'm very pleased with myself. ;)
And now, you can hear the soundtrack of ToB. A bunch of songs that I thought fit something or someone about the comic very well.
There are four tracks there right now, but I'll probably add more later. The reason why I haven't added them all yet is because some of them have spoilers. ;)
These are the songs we have for your musical enjoyment right now:
Beautiful Tonight, by Krystal Meyers. (GLORIA. Substitute the word 'beautiful' for 'human', if you want. ;) I think this was the first song I listened to that I thought, 'OMG. VAMPIRE!' XD)
Daylight, by Remedy Drive. (The whole comic. Remedy Drive has a couple songs that are on this soundtrack, but I can't post all of 'em yet. ;) )
Be My Escape, by Relient K. (Dusk. I LOVE this band to death. They're so awesome. >.< )
You Have What I Need, by Hawk Nelson (Gloria. Possibly a little bit of Dusk. Think 'blood' or 'necklace' or whatever. ;) )
More songs to follow! I'm so glad I figured this out! *spaz-giggles* So, scroll down to the bottom of the page, and press that play button! :D
[ 0 ] New Page, New Banner.
Kay, so we have a new banner... I fail at coming up with nifty slogans. XD Any ideas? XD
Well, anyway, the main reason for this news post is the new Fun Facts page, which is basically information about the world of ToB in FAQ form. Take a look. ^^ It's not quite done yet, and will never really be DONE, I'll keep adding information, but if there's something you've been wondering about that you'd like me to stick in there, shoot me a PM. ^^
GASP! Another place to see Dusk and Gloria?!
We did it. We really did. Me, Kandri, and Cherri started a collab. XD It's called Zany, because - honestly - when all three of us work together on a comic it's bound to be zany, and it can be found here:
http://zany.smackjeeves.com/
Check it out please!
It has nothing to do with our regular storylines, so I guess you COULD read it without reading our stories... But if you could go read Cherri's and Kandri's, too, we'd love you forever! ^^ (I'm assuming you've already read/are reading mine since you're here, so...)
I'm Baaaaaack!!!
Back from camp. ^^ T'was fun! We had a cougar somewhere in the hills in the viscinity of the camp, (no LEGIT sightings, but last night on the way up to the campfire, SOME kind of large-ish creature walked in front of a group of people... I didn't see it, and they don't know for sure whether it was the cougar, or a coyote, or what... but they SAY it was big), We had a possibly rabid skunk spotted and later shot...
Sang AWESOME songs, had WONDEROUS discussions, and the Chapel sessions were wonderful... I love Bible Camp so much. >.<
And then, since I had some free time spread out throughout the week... I got a time-line-ish thing so that I now have most of my character's ages all fixed, and I figured out what general events will take place in each of the next, like, NINE chapters... So we should be good for a while. ;) (although, some of the chapters might be conjoined, or split up, some will be longer than others, some will be shorter than others, etc...) I now actually have a plan for what Gloria's adopted parents look like, and for what her REAL parents look like. >:)
And yeah, I just in general got further with the plot. ^^ Should be fun.
Also, I've been trying my hand at a little song writing... It's not going very well, really. XD So, once again, - and I'll put this next part in Caps to get your attention. ;) -
IF YOU CAN WRITE SONG LYRICS THAT COULD POSSIBLY BE SUNG BY A VAMPIRE ROCK BAND, PM ME PLEASE?
XD
It's great to be back, really, it is... I found an amazing fanart from Kandri in my in-box, so I'm thinking I'll get a fanart page set up at some point... Me, Kandri, and Cherri are in the planning/starting phase of a collaberation where we stick some of our characters into the same comic. ;) It will have NOTHING to do with this story. Seriously, barely anything. So yeah, you can look forward to that... I'll try and start drawing the start of chapter two... And if I procrastinate and don't get one done right away, I'll try to set up another before and after page with the vampires! Jasmine, Dusk, and Jazzy-Dad. (Jazzy-Dad does have a name, but for some reason I don't feel like using it yet... Probably because if I start using it, you'll have no idea who I'm talking about. XD )
Once again, it's great to be back. ^^
EDIT: I made a nifty chapter cover-ey thing on Paint Shop Pro. Not an actual drawing, but it's better than nothing! ^^
Well, the Character Page is up...
*glances at page in another window*
Uh, sort of. XD
Um, I'll try to smooth out the format and stuff... and until then you can all look at the pretty pictures that are visible. XD In color! *pokes Dusk* He turned out so... so... Good. XD
Okay. So. Back to work I go. XD *goes to try to fix the formatting a little...
EDIT: GAAAAAAH. *whacks HTML with a stick.*
...
It infuriates me. XP Well... You can see all the pictures now at least. XD I'll screw around with it more later...
Hmmmm....
Ooh! Idea! Since I think it's the size of the pictures that are screwing things up, maybe I'll make some thumbnails, like, avvie-size, and then link them to the bigger pictures... Yeah... That could work. >.< We'll see...
EDIT X2: Well... I put up some thumbnails with links to the larger pictures, and it looks slightly better now... XD It'll have to do for now, until I can figure out a way to make it look all pretty-ish...
Well, enjoy. XD
COLOR!!!! AND UPCOMING CHARACTER PAGE!
Yes. It's true. There is a COLOR page up! Googling Gaspeds!
And, possibly tomorrow I will be trying to get a character page up... We'll just see how that goes. XD
Other than that... Um... Oh! Wednesday is my last day of school, which could mean that either my updates will speed up... or it could mean that they'll slow down. XD Depends on how much I'm camping, and how much free time I'll spend drawing... Yeah...
Enjoy the color page! ^^ *salutes and marches off, humming to herself happily*
Hey! Look what I figured out how to do! XD
I learned that they had pre-set templates you can choose from. ^^ Which I did not know before...
So as you can probably see, I've got a smexy new black and red template up. ^^ I think it fits the whole vampire thing rather well... ;)
Whatchu think?
Clan Name Suggestions? And, any song-writers out there?
Hokay, so, in about... Chapter 3? I'm going to need some names for vampire clans.
I already have the 'Gem' clan. ^^ But I need other suggestions... At least two more, but more if possible. So, any ideas? Just PM me or something...
I also need song lyrics. Original ones if possible. They will be... ah... used by a *cough* vampire *cough* rock band. *shifty eyes* I don't think I can write songs... Lyrics aren't essential, but I think it'd be more interesting than just having a bunch of musical notes splashed all over the place so... If you come up with some lyrics that you think could possibly be sung by a group of rockin' vampires... Shoot me a PM. XD
Your name will be put in the comic if I use your lyrics. ^^
