Salutations.

Since I have some free time, I kinda felt like writing a journal. So yeah, obviously by the name I'm going to elaborate on some things I plan on doing from now until the end of 2015. Gonna involve some animation, a possible graphic novel series, and a lot of traveling. I'm also going to elaborate on a few characters I currently have in my roster.

Animations

So for those who don't know, I am an animator. Hell, I'm going to school for it so I would assume that I earned that title lol. I'm in my second semester of my junior year soon to be a senior. Long road, but i've learned so much from graduated students, teachers, and mentors. I'm pretty confident to start working on short animated films for demo reel purposes. The one I'm currently working on is called Mountain Cat. I've been working on it since August. I have everything roughed out and already have a few scenes cleaned up. Backgrounds and sounds are a hassle, but I'm sure I can power through it. I also have another film that I'm working on as well. I start the animation part in January. It's called Immortals. Mountain Cat might actually get finalized way sooner than Immortals, but here's hoping.

Graphic Novels (?)

I'm currently working on a comic called BrotherHood as most of you know, however, talking to a few individuals, I decided to write four stories with each starting where the others end off. I know this is a big task to accomplish with how my schedule is, but I feel as if I can handle it. I had to push back the original date of the first part until late 2015. Collectively, I probably won't be done with the series as a whole until late 2016. It's a creative and growing experience for me and I'm hoping you can share my experience and journey with the pictures I post. I have another short idea that I'm developing as well. It involves Indigo along with his two brothers. Probably won't start on that until 2016 as well, so I have some time to fully develop it to where I like it.

#TravelCat

I'm going to be doing a bit of traveling next year. First to California for FC. Note, this is gonna be my first time in California so I'm pretty excited about it. So for anyone who hangs out with me while I'm out there, forgive me if I get too ecstatic. Afterwards, I'm traveling to Florida to hangout with this person that I'm currently dating. Oh yeah, I'm currently dating someone really special right now. I really like this person, a lot. Yes, he does have an FA and no you'll have to figure out who this person is. Afterwards, Hi Ho to Ottawa, CA for a film convention. Hopefully, the film that I worked on last semester or the semester afterwards can be entered. It's not for a prize, but I would like for others to see it too. Seattle is a definite maybe for me as well as Manhattan, NY. Depending on how FC goes, I might make a return for 2016.

Art Status/Fursuit

I've been drawing a lot since the semester ended and I have to say that my style is constantly changing. I've interacted with a bunch of cool artists and they've been giving me tips and critiques I've been craving. As of now, I've been trying new things in the digital medium. I also got my feet wet with Maya. I resented it at first, but now I'm starting to like it. However, in terms of modeling, I might want to use ZBrush for more precise models that I can enjoy looking at. I have been taking commissions as of recent to purchase a new laptop. The one I currently have (5+ years now) is starting to show it's age and isn't running the programs I have installed efficiently. As far a fursuit, I believe I have chosen Indigo as the final design for the suit. I want to start constructing him sometime during March or the end of March.

Characters

So as of right now I have a pretty good roster of characters. Jayden(main fursona), Indigo(secondary fursona), Boulder(favorable character), Duncan(secondary favorable character), Zachary(new lion character), Behr(old fursona of the person that I'm dating), and a few others I care not to mention for now. I plan on drawing reference sheets for most if not all of them. I feel as if they need one anyway since whenever I need to draw them, I forget how to lol. You'll be seeing a lot more of them in 2015 when I'll have a bunch of time to work.

tl;dr

I tend not to reveal what my new years resolutions are because then it wouldn't be special to me anymore. So if anybody was looking for that, sorry, not this time. I am however going to pick up Jeet Kune Do in 2015 as well as managing my time better. That's all you're gonna get out of me for now.
