Hey everyone,

I finally have to admit that I am going to be unable to keep the magazine going, certainly in the near future. I feel I should be totally honest with you all especially those who have stuck by us. I haven't got the time to edit and upload all of the articles each month, it is a lot more work than it looks, and as I have a one year old to look after and my wedding in 8 weeks time, it really isn't high on my list of prioities at this time.

Also I have sorely neglected my own artwork to produce this magazine, this is because I really believe in what this magazine stands for and felt we could make some small impact here on dA, but I am not sure how much of an impact we have made. It is almost impossible to gauge the reaction of the readers as very few comments are left compared to the number of watchers we have. I am also having journalist problems at the moment as some have dissapeared and some are too busy to write at present.

In short, while I really wish I could continue this magazine, right now I can't. Thank you all for the tremendous support you have given me and the magazine and perhaps when things become less hectic The-Undiscovered will return. In the meantime if anyone has any ideas on how to solve these problems, I will always be willing to listen.

I hope to see you all around.

Hello everyone! We are indeed back in business with a fantastic issue this week.

Thank you to all of our beloved watchers here at The Undiscovered magazine. We would like to extend our sincerest apologies for the lack of magazine issues this past few weeks. Things have been very hectic in our 3D lives.The magazine has proven to be a lot more work than we had originally expected. So unfortunately,that means a few more changes.

We have discussed this a lot and have finally reached some conclusions. Due to 3D commitments *tranquil-anarchy will be stepping down from his editorial duties as well as from some behind the scenes work that not everybody sees. Don't worry though, he will still be keeping up with his articles and will of course remain a founder and very important part of the magazine. =angelbearlina will in the meantime keep running the magazine, but until more help is brought on board, there will only be one issue released every month. Hopefully this will only be a temporary thing.

Both *tranquil-anarchy and =angelbearlina would like to extend their greatest thanks to all of you for you're patience with us. We really appreciate all the love and support you have shown us here at The Undiscovered. I would also like to say thank you to our wonderful staff who really
help out a lot. We could not do it without them.

This issue is a fantastic read, we have all the old favourites. We also have introduced a few new ones as well including. The first is 'Staff Focus'. This is where we focus on one of the undiscovered staff, we figure this is the least we can do given the amount of time and dedication they give us at The-Undiscovered. We really encourage you to have a look at these articles and drop by their page.

This week we have the winner of the first 'Mini contest' by Angelbearlina. It features a truely deserving winner and an excellent work of art. Stay tuned this week for news of the second mini contest.

Also in this issue is *tranquil-anarchy's 'Best of the Best'. For all of you who have entered in, voted for, or followed his weekly journal feature, you will know how high the standard of entries is. But who is the best of all the winners? Well now we find out. He will be running 'Best of the Best' four times a year, so why not enter his feature vote, and next time it could be your work that is up there.

So happy reading everyone, and don't forget, keep the comments coming, thats what makes it all worth while for us.

Due to unavoidable circumstances, the next issue will not be posted this week. We are really sorry if you have been looking foward to it, or are to be featured in it. We will be resuming normal service as soon as possible, hopefully this weekend.

Thank you for your support.
