Hello everyone!
We’ve got some exciting news! We’ve finished the base faces for basically all the children. Some of them were revamped, some were redrawn and some were just drawn for the first time. Most characters have features that you will recognize, but a couple of them wouldn’t be known if you saw them uncolored. NOTE all of these were drawn together on one sheet. Only Anastasia has been drawn outside of this sheet. They were all drawn together. Anastasia was drawn 2 weeks before all the others. Unrecognizable: Gage- After re-drawing Gage 5 times since I began drawing face sets, I’ve finally been able to find the most decent style for him. He no longer has a band like Leo. In fact, Gage has a baseball cap and a baseball for his 8 year old face set. He will return with his blue hair but browner eyes and the orange and blue theme will be scrapped for now. Willow- Willow is in the game at age thirteen, where you will see her as a girl with a Chinese style to her. Her silver hair is adorned with flower hair elastics which tie her hair up into pigtails. Her shirt is a traditional chinese shirt. Kandi- A typical Kandi has become a cutesy dive with her pink hair up in pigtails. Her hair has a sweet phrase on it, and trilliums are what holds her hair up. She wears a quarter sleeve shirt. Her eyes will be either blue, green or grey. First time being drawn: Tristan- Tristan has the same hair as he does in the concept art. His eyes may change colour, but his hair is staying its regular colour. Like Kandi and Leo, Tristan is facing a 3 quarter view while the others are facing straight. He wears a simple t-shirt. Tyrone- Tyrone is currently awaiting completion, but this is the first one I have never drawn at all. All the others I drew in scenes for fun, but I’ve been scared to draw Tyrone… Anyway, he is still going to be the same. I can’t really tell you how he looks yet, but I’ll get back to you on that. Tai- Of course the beautiful Tai is also awaiting completion. We’ll have to wait and see how she’ll look. Her looks won’t change: black hair, pigtails and green eyes. When we draw her as a teen, she will hopefully have long curly hair. Redrawn: Leo- Leo is facing at a 3 quarter view with a lucky number 7 on his shirt. His hair is the same and nothing really has changed. He’s just more visually attractive. Andy- I drew Andy a while ago with a hockey stick, but I changed my mind about him. I redrew him with Russian writing on his shirt (To show his origins ‘cuz Russians are epic and I know a little bit of Russian… Aka the alphabet) Max: Max looks way cuter and isn’t as awkwardly drawn. In my opinion, he’s WAAAY cuter than before and does look like a little third-grader. Anastasia: While the others were drawn on one sheet at the same time (Litterally, I drew the faces together one part at a time. All of them were completed in the same few minutes with the exception of Tyrone and Tai) Anastasia was drawn a while before. She has a long scarf, beautiful brown hair and a jacket over her shirt. Already completed: Roxie: Roxie’s face has more drawn (She has a teddy in her arms) and will be coming in during the teenage years. Her baby face and Teen face is done as well. Aris: Our new sweetie with silver hair, blue facepaint and a great big smile has been drawn as a child. His teenager face is due for drawing. Cindy: Cindy was the first face I completed. Despite my hatred for my old style, I will continue to have this. I will add more to the other faces to match the amount of body shown because of Cindy. Tytannia: Tytannia has also been completed. I’m allowed not to care about her since I play her… Other news: So... I got manga drawing pens :) They're going to make life easy for me for inking ^_^ Kuroneko: Thank you for commenting :) It made my day ^_^ That's so sweet of you! 1. Of course :) I have been working hard on both my projects! I'm so excited~! 2. Oh~! Say hello to Emily for me XD 3. I'll upload them once I'm ready :) I still need to finish the two characters and then draw the hero, and I'll put them up! 4.They'll be sooo awesome :) I promise! 5.It's been a secret for a while! I'll give some more details later in the post :) I would LOVE for you to draw a couple things for the game! That would be awesome! 6. I'll do my best :) It's not much left to do in the game... I have just to write a few things... that's it :P I'm glad it made you happy :3 seeing your comment made my day I was so happy! Anyway, I hope you enjoy a little bit of a preview for the newest game! Midnight will be working on a separate game which is the sequel to Celestial Dance, but this one is an entirely new series! I hope you like this idea as much as you like Celestial Dance! NEW SERIES: Artist's Canvas Synopsis: As an eighteen year old, you are discovered on the outskirts of the war torn town of Nakaia by another member of the town. With little memories of your past, you reside in a mansion with a sibling duo who looks after you for the first few years of your town. Would you be the artist that brightens the world? or would you be the one who carries on the war by eliminating your foes? Perhaps you will be the light that will change the world? It's up to you. Features: Create a world from literally rubble and customize your life to your liking. Choose how you would like to contribute and carry out unique missions whether you choose to take part in the war or not. You may play as a boy or a girl and get married according to this.Have children in your own customised house. Being a boy: If you choose to be a male you show as a very sarcastic young man (named Grayson by default) and gets very defensive at times. He is close with Roxie on default due to their little bickering at the start. Roxie has a small crush on the hero when they meet, which is apparent due to the joking around. He has seven choices in women, (could be bumped down to six though) and can be a generally nice man. Being a girl: If you choose to be a girl, you are shown to be a very sweet yet humorous young lady who enjoys cracking jokes no matter how inappropriate. (Named Alice on default) She is currently only able to marry one of six men, but this may be changed to seven. She is close with Max on default and gets along well with him. Returning Characters: Roxanne and Max return from Celestial Dance, and you will frequently hear jokes about the characters that only exist in this game. Also events that happen in this game exclusively will be mentioned in AC. The difference is that Roxanne is only a year younger than Max. They still are rich, they live together as siblings and you live with them for a while. New male characters: A baseball player, violin player, assassin, an animal lover oh my! There as SO many new characters, you'll be shocked to see the amazing personalities of these men. Unlike Celestial Dance, every single character had heart going into it, and all characters are equally loved. No two characters are alike. All the characters are planned out already. You'll find out more about them later on! New female characters: From sweet ladies to loud and rude jerks, these girls have the spunk and general happiness to love anyone and anything. They are not your typical women, infact, they reign over the men like a hawk at times and refuse to be brought down. From humorous names to strange personalities, these ladies have them all. All female characters are set Other characters: Not many other characters are set quite yet. While the ones you can marry are named and planned, only two other characters have been planned out. Rating: For now, the game is rated ages 16 plus due to language (not too bad actually but still to be safe) and sexual themes. Of course, these are not very open, and are not graphic... It's just mentioned. These are also mainly innuendos. The main mentions are in cutscenes. Don't worry if you do not like sexual themes... trust me, nor do I. Most of the time, they are optional. Love rivals: The boys and girls are not alone in the world if you don't marry them. Three girls have love interests, and four boys. If the player goes for Roxie's love interest, she has an alternate. They have 5-7 events that are very dramatic. They do get married and have kids. Art and paintings: Art serves as two purposes in the game; decorating your houses and making a profit. You can paint, sculpt, write, draw, sing... anything that will create profit can be done. The alternate purpose in the game is forgery which is illegal in the game but makes a profit. Missions: Missions are used for getting items and rations for the war. Main purposes of missions are mini-games and for getting tokens (Tokens help with cusomization) Customizing your house and world: Neither of these features can be done at the beginning of the game. You must venture pretty far to get to this stage. this means completing the plot at half way. More information: For more information, stay tuned by checking back for updates. There is an unpublished website w

Whose birthday is it? Why don't we check with the characters :O Actually, it's my birthday... My very interesting birthday. And so I sit on the couch wearing sweet smelling perfume writing this update as a little prize for all of you. I'm sorry I haven't been updating lately, it's been difficult with school and all. I promise it is all well :)

Teenagers will come next followed by adults. After all the main characters are done, the main villagers will be drawn. An official list of remaining characters after the clearing will be announced. 4. A few wedding scenes will be completed this week. 5. NEWS UPDATE FROM DAWNING EMBER: While celestial Dance has neared it's 25% completion mark, dawning ember has begun it's work on a side project along the side. The game will be a more mature version of Celestial Dance, and will be rated for ages 16+. The game, however is not a part of the Celestial Dance instalment and does not begin as the character growing up. The character, however, will have the option of getting married and having kids, but through an extensive story line with deeper characters. MAX AND ROXIE WILL BE RETURNING TO THIS GAME. Revealed features: -Customise your house/world/clothing -Marry out of six people -A complex story line -RPG and simulation in one -Be a boy or a girl -80% hand drawn graphics -Humorous dialogue -More than one child -Returning characters The game is fairly far into production. It is at a very high stage at this point. 6. RELEASE DATE INFORMATION Of course, until the completion of the game, there will be no official date set. The games completion is set for January 2013 (6 months) And the testing will most likely send the project into July 2013.
