General
I need to write these more often. When I don't post art for a while, I start to feel guilty about it, and it is difficult to stay active.
Anyway, in December, I saw some animation tutorials posted by Zachary Rich

My reaction could be best described by this video clip: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uXPlzdTcA-I
I've always enjoyed art and animation. Anime is probably the thing that got me interested in art in the first place, but for some reason, until I saw Zach's tutorials, I hadn't considered it at all.
I never thought about looking into Flash or Illustrator all that much... For some reason, I just thought of animation as one of those things I couldn't do, even though I never tried it.
Since then, I've passed my puppet animation test and joined the Double Rainboom team. http://www.doublerainboom.com/
Even though the project is almost done, I have helped with several backgrounds and I'm about to finish an animation shot. :D
It's a fun project to help out with, and I'm continuously impressed with the quality of work from everyone in the group. Even though I'm working on it, I can't wait to see this complete. :D
After this, I'm still planning on doing speedpaints and some more large illustrations. I'm looking forward to that, too. :)
Maybe I'll even be able to incorporate some Flash now, too. It would be neat to make some animated backgrounds, like Wizards of the Coast and Blizzard do...
Also, I set up a Livestream, so hopefully, I'll be able to start doing some more art on there, too.
Now, to try to get caught up on all the messages I've been putting off... I apologize to everyone who's been waiting, and thank you all for your support.
Here's to another year, with much more art to come. :D

FA+

It's a learning experience in many ways, too.
Sometimes, I just need to stop wishing I could do things, and give them a shot.
When I start working on something, I don't stay in contact as well as I should.
I think it's a rather neat project. I'm proud of the things I've contributed already, so I think it'll turn out great. :)
That will be fun indeed.
haha don't feel guilty about not posting a journal that often. Just makes it all the more special when we hear from you again!!
