--the comic Catalyst is a magical, bitter fantasy story about a woman who isn't so young anymore, her illness, and her obsession with curing it. Once upon a time, little Kai' was content to live in the isolated Iredean mountains, with the center of her life based in her little village and her big brother Rune. That was many months ago. Now, the woman named Elei has lured her and Rune far away, and Kai is the rope in a tug of war, loved, hurt and betrayed; all for a Gift she cannot see, use or care about. The basic story of Catalyst was written back in 2004, as a rather retarded novel-type thing, but the comic started in December 2005. It's longish, with four parts and a pre-written script; but it has a story to tell. --contact Just to prevent my inbox from getting too clogged up, all comments in the Guestbook! You're not missing much, really. =D However, if you have a question or wish to send me something for the comic, feel free to email me (yes, I actually check my mail a lot) at enaikelt (at) gmail.com (Please send links instead of images or attachments.)		--the artist Name: Esther Chuah Alias: Crystal Websites: DeviantArt Portfolio I'm a Computer Science senior at Michigan Tech, USA, but currently interning in Quito, Ecuador. Unfortunately, while I speak several languages, Spanish is not one of them, so waving my arms around desperately is a regular part of my daily life. My hometown and family are in Penang, Malaysia. I enjoy swing/ballroom dancing, trashy romance novels, geek pick-up lines, geekshirts, and presents. Boy, do I like presents. :33
	--faq / random comic facts I love random facts. =D Always have. Here are some of mine. If I could go back and redo Catalyst all over again, - I'd make Elei dark skinned. I admit I just selected a skin-like colour one day, and said "This will be the skin colour for all my characters!" - I'd get rid of like, four chapters because they're boring. Then I could get down to the 'tormenting Rune' part faster. - I'd give someone PYROMANIA ;D Or maybe not. @ I used to draw stupid comics all the time in highschool. Unlike Catalyst, they were actually pretty funny. To this day I'm not sure how Catalyst got all serious. I like funny comics. @ I'm engaged. I know, it's weird. I just wanted to say it here, though.
