Happy New Year everyone! Again I don't create journals often but this seams like a good time to create one (and if everything goes right I should have this uploaded at midnight my time just like last few years ^^ )

Well without really realizing it, I broke the 400 watcher mark this year, sorry I didn't do anything for it like I did at 255, I will try at 500 if I make it there. Things were not too bad this year, was able to get a lot more done on my CYOA story project, almost got one story string finished from start to complete, the ending to that thread is in the works and should be posted sometime in the early new year, as well as new designs for Ion, Flint and Zephyr for what I call the final year, basically the time from the late days where they are 13 to the point when Flint passes just before the summer of their 14th year, but those designs will also have another meaning which will hopefully make some sense once a new story arc is developed in the coming year, an arc that might be interesting for some. Anyways I plan on focusing on developing other parts of my CYOA story this year with a focus on other patch that more involve Flint and Zephyr over Ion, as they each have their own arcs within it, Flint's I have already showcased a bit which a choice in that line will have a severely big impact for the boy's future, basically getting into that new story arc I was mentioning a few sentences back, so will probably be developing more along there so things have some continuality but do want to touch on Zephyr's part sometime this year and showcase some of his family's heritage. I also have been writing and developing the world lore of my story a bit more and in the background been refining it so that it should be ready sometime soon as I believe that should be addressed as it will help make sense of the concepts I have been showcasing this last year a bit more and it is about time my world has it's own mythos that is written down for those who are interested. Lastly I will also focus of getting references completed so that it will make getting artwork in the future easier on the artists I commission (and for those interested in my character's designs), Ion's main one, along with the childhood ones of Ion, Flint and Zephyr have helped immensely, Ion's female wolf one is in the finalization stages so it should be coming in the not so distant future, I have plans for a adult Flint one that will be needed for that new story arc (which might intrigue some interests at that note), as well as Ion's dragon and bunny form with updating Zephyr's as well to coincide with the updates to Ion's from this past year, he got a gear upgrade too when Ion did, I hope I can get all of these done this year but at bare minimum I plan on at least Flint's and dragon Ion's, since I already talked to the artist involved with my refs for the Flint one and dragon Ion's is close to the 'final year" Ion design as they coincide with each other.

Anyways sorry for the ramble, don't know how may people will actually read this but Happy New Year and hope everyone has enjoyed the holidays! Stay safe out there ^^
