Status report! @ 03:03 pm
Well, here's how this is all gonna go down:
After I get done with a crapload of commissions so's I can eat this month, I'm going to start making a backlog of 2WM pages that you can see on my FA gallery for now (without text), but won't actually be on the comic space until I have a respectable backlog worked up so when I do start updating, I won't be updating on a page-to-page basis; I want to KEEP a twice-a-week schedule, if possible, without letting down all you people who are waiting on me to resume the comic... I want to keep a regular update routine without fail... and I'm going to need at least a month's worth of backlog in order to do that. I'll be SLOWLY changing the site over as I go. Flying solo, I'm responsible for ... well... everything... and one person can only do so much. I've applied for a few survival day-jobs I should be able to work and make ends meet with. If I can land them, and I can WORK them without wrecking my back... I'll not have to have most of my time taken up with commissions. Right now, I'm more or less struggling to manage my time efficiently enough to do EVERYTHING at ONCE... So here's how things are going to go down.
1. (First priority) Get caught up with all my artistic debts and keep nabbing those arts-for-food commissions. 2. Get 2WM pages backlogged up to a respectable month-long backup. 3. Launch new pages and new story arc. 4. Redo the website. 5. Eventually move the website to a server without ads.

Little behind schedule... @ 02:40 pm
Because of unexpected problems because of employment status, overall spinal health, and a few other niggling little factors... such as I have yet to redesign the new 2 Way Mirror webpage... the official release of the new pages is being pushed back a bit until things get a little more stable for me. What I WILL have for you 2 Way Mirror believers out there, however, is the cover to the new story arc for 2WM. I'll save the title for later ;) Just gimmie a little more time, folks. Things WILL pick up, it's just going to be crappy for a few weeks for me. -teh J

It just won't stay dead! @ 04:33 am
Hey folks, teh J here.
Well, after a long time waiting... I think you folks deserve to know. Jess has given 2 Way Mirror up. It was ready for the massive grave of webcomics that have lost audiences and interest throughout the years after I left the project last year and was drawn to other projects to work on, never quite finishing my 'unfinished business'. It's been a year since I did that one page. Things have changed. I've changed. The fact that I love the characters and the original vision of this comic has not, however. 2 Way Mirror will return... I will be flying solo, and as such... I have some changes to make given that it's been so long since you've seen Anissa and the gang... and I need to make some changes for MYSELF to make damned sure I don't just lose interest in the thing. 4 years have passed since Anissa used her powers for purely selfish reasons. Anissa and company are not going to be in school anymore. Things are going to be a lot less... trivial for Anissa, too. Expect to see some mystery and suspense with a side of action in addition to the relationships you've come to enjoy within the group. I'm not done with this story folks. And guess what... They're staying furry. Seeya all in July!!!

Huzzah! @ 07:38 pm
Well, folks, I know I've been leaving you hanging. I'm sorry about that, didn't mean to wait so long before giving another update.
I've managed to get a huge chunk of plot down in point form, I'm currently working on getting the script-proper written.
In the mean time, I'll give ya some hints on what's going on.
1) Brent is going to be kicking some ass
2) Annie looses her cool in the mirrorscape (the dream realm)
3) Annie's going to have to make a decision soon
4) Mel gets injured (OMG!!)
I hope that keeps you interested long enough for me to write it down.
Again, sorry about the delay, -Jess (AKA nyo-kun)

The Plan @ 11:17 pm
Current Mood:  okay
So, yes, as Jord has recently pointed out, I'm planning on keeping Annie and the gang alive. I am going to be a little better prepared this time though. Here's what I'm going to do. I'm going to write the story, beginning to end, first. Then I will be scouting for an art assistant (I can't offer much at the moment, but who know what could happen once the story is finished) that will help me with the artwork (more info will be posted at a later time) I will also be moving the comic to a more stable website with an easier access handle. Hopefully this will help the comic be more badass than it's previous days. Questions, comments and encouragement welcome.

Possible plans... @ 04:27 pm

Anissa: Yuck. Melissa: WHERE?! Brenton: They'll do in a pinch. Hiroki: Only thing I like about em' are the commercials.

Anissa: When I'm sad. Melissa: Define 'sleeping'. Brenton: I hardly sleep. Hiroki: I kind of work myself to exhaustion.
Species/race?
Anissa: Cat... I'm a kitty cat! And I dance dance dance, and I dance dance dance! Melissa: Hmph. Win ONE DDR tournament and suddenly you think yer hot shit, don'tcha? Anissa: Beat you!

Unfinished Business page 1 @ 09:22 pm
So here's a preview of what you'll be seeing in Unfinished Business. I'm not going to hide it, it's all going to be about fan service, but as such, it's going to be kept here http://www.furaffinity.net/user/tehj because of some.... content.

Unfinished business... @ 02:49 pm
Hiya again, folks! Well, there you have it, folks. The first page of Between Pages. That's what the new 'Annie' looks like... and of course, later on, when you see her apartment, keep an eye out for a little kitty plush wearing a black shirt with purple hair ;) Y'know... some of you have voiced opinions about the restarting of the comic, specifically of the change from furry to human. Well, I have to say that I do have regrets on that subject, more specifically, the parts of the story I was just WAITING to release but won't get to with the original characters. Restarting means that it'll take even longer before these scenes happen... so I caved, and got myself a FA account under the moniker, 'teh J' where you'll be able to see pages that will be entitled 'Unfinished Business' which will be exerpts from 2 Way Mirror I didn't get to draw, but wanted to... and because I'm fairly certain I know the majority of 2WM readers are comfortable with mature content, it'll be uncensored, and as such, will only be posted on the FA account. More as it develops. Here's a direct link to my FA gallery. http://www.furaffinity.net/user/tehj/

A new beginning... @ 12:49 am
I couldn't resist drawing Mel and Annie one more time. Don't worry peoples, they're not going anywhere, they're just coming back in a different format. If you want to keep posted to Krisis in Korneria, the comics will of course always be posted on my deviantart account, though I'm thinking of getting a furaffinity account to post other future furry artworks there. Anyway, if you're curious as to what Between Pages will be like, there is a sneak peek on my deviantart as well, but basically, Anissa's name is changed over to Eve, though Melissa isn't changed, neither has Brenton, and Hiroki has just been shortened down to Hiro. There will still be a Sonya Wilder, Talbon, Susan and Carmen, and even an Adam character. None of them are being sacrificed to the abyss of comic obscurity... though this time around, Annie's mom is still alive, they're just living in Manitoba, so they're a ways away, 'cause Annie/Eve is older. 25 to be exact, and living on her own with her roomie and still best friend. Brenton is one of Eve's old highschool friends, though Brenton and Mel haven't met yet. Hiro will take a little while to make his appearance. Eve's not much of a performance musician this time around, but rather, she's more of a computer geek/blogger and has her degree in music composition, not performance.
This certainly isn't goodbye, and we hope you'll all check out Between Pages... and if you're hoping for something a little more furry? Stay tuned... who knows what'll pop out of our heads.

Sorry folks. @ 12:14 am
Jord here. I'm working on several comic pages at once and I'm getting myself back in shape after my muscles went all mushy from recovering from my herniated discs, but I'm at 100% health once more, and will make a much more concentrated effort to keep at least a weekly schedule for Bucky. As for the big announcement, well... rather than try and key it up like some kind of major, life-changing moment, I'll just say it here. 2 Way Mirror is starting over. NOT ending... this time with an older, all-human cast, but the core of each character will remain the same. If you have any questions about this, throw them out here, but it has become pretty evident to just about everyone that neither Jess nor I were able to continue 2 Way Mirror in it's current form. The new comic will be called 'Between Pages' and have a page separate from here. 2 Way Mirror will remain online for archival purposes, but the promised wallpapers and other things I tried to put together in order to get MYSELF inspired to work on the project in it's current form will not come into being, I'm afraid. I feel like I've failed you folks in some ways or another... but instead of just shrugging my shoulders and saying, "I failed. Seeya later." I am taking these characters we made and moving them to a new level, one I'm far more comfortable writing for and illustrating. No more manga influences. No more awkward 'human/furry' balance. I am starting over to produce something better, stronger, faster than before for the characters of 2 Way Mirror. News about Between Pages will be updated here, as will promotional art, and who knows... maybe the domain name of this comic will change and it'll transform into something entirely different... it all depends on how things go from here now that I'm mailing out my portfolio to mainstream comic book publishers. Thoughts and feelings welcome. Jord.
January 24th, 2007
Sorry... @ 04:56 pm
About the delay folks, been a bit under the weather and am tackling a bunch of different projects at once. A MAJOR announcement for the future of 2 Way Mirror is coming soon. Keep posted.
January 5th, 2007
Sorry for the delay, folks! @ 01:55 pm
But the compy I've been using to colour the pages on decided to crap out on me. Almost there! I've been working on the next page in the meantime, so the next update should be coming along shortly after the first!
December 28th, 2006
Whew! @ 06:06 pm
Current Mood:  busy
This splash page really took the biscuit. Colour, dialogue and title graphics coming soon! Fox, Krystal, Falco, Peppy, Slippy, and Katt Monroe reporting in! Lucy Hare coming soon.
December 16th, 2006
Colour, special effects... @ 10:40 am
Coming later today. Star Fox Team makes their debut next page!
December 13th, 2006
Stay tuned... @ 01:28 pm
Current Mood:  busy
Team Star Fox will be making their first appearance on page 6. Hilarity ensues, I'm sure. If you're wondering 'who the hell is Bucky o Hare?', by the way, take a look on youtube, and if you're wondering what's happened to 2 Way Mirror, Jess is still working up backlog so when she's ready to continue the story, that you fans will be getting consistant updates. I'm going to be continuing to work on Bucky until that time, and if my back's feeling better, well, you can expect some rather rapid-fire updates.... not like I have a whole lot else going on... :P
November 22nd, 2006
Fangoriously coloured! @ 10:53 pm
Well... yeah... things are kind of sucking for us right now. Real life is kicking our asses pretty hard. Jord's herniated discs are huting him something fierce, his grandma's got cancer, and he's waiting on his unemployment insurance.... but comics are still in production. Gotta keep the mind distracted.
November 16th, 2006
It's teh J again @ 12:30 pm
Yep, I just found out what's wrong with my back--2 herniated disks in my spine, at the L4 and L5 vertebrae; that is to say, the ones that connect the spine to the pelvis, and the one just above that. Updates will be ... unreliable for a bit while I recover.
November 14th, 2006
Welp... @ 03:04 pm
I'm not in a very good way folks. Whatever happened to my back has hit a new low; it's not healing anymore. I can only sit or stand for a few minutes at a time before I need to lay down because it hurts. I had to quit my job, too, and I'll be finding out tommorrow exactly what's wrong as my CT scans have come into my doctor's office and they want to talk to me right away so I can get unemployment insurance faster. What this will mean is that I can relax and recover from whatever's wrong in comfort, not rush back into the work force before things are fixed... Assuming that they CAN be fixed. I'll keep y'all posted. In the meantime, I'm using the extra spare time to work in my studio when I can, a few minutes at a time. Bucky returns later this week.
November 6th, 2006
Heya again folks @ 09:48 pm
Teh J's feeling under the weather; flu season's kicking his ass. Update may be a bit late this week.
November 2nd, 2006
Yeah yeah yeah... @ 12:57 am
It's a day late from Halloween... but it's done!!! Sorry for inside joke content.... couldn't resist.
