Some thanks, why I've been slow, and a question
10 years ago
General
First of all, I'd like to thank all the new followers. I don't often have the chance to go on and give a shout-out to everyone for the watch, so I'll do it here:
Thank you, Dudedude123 , TheOttBuster , balladaheart , lilshit , Greyana , potofgold14 , snake227 , jaxster , Dark_Shadow_Fox , jewman , SlimeWolfBlade , A_Random_Potato , drunkenMUNKEY78 , FoxboyPrower , bluedragoncypher , frysco , kitsunezero , Kitsune21 , Blazebeak , darkalter2000 , twp2002 , cavemanwho , MongooseDog , truct , Ristin , cuong40 , toyet24 , valgillespie , Hoof , Ke_Alakai
Thank you guys, you are the best! Every follow means so much to me that I'm worthy of your watch. As always, feel free to hit me up in the chat, I'm always free to talk (as long as it's a conversation and not "can you please draw me as animal?" But other than that, totally cool. Ask me questions about characters, introduce yourself, tell me a factoid about who you are and what you do, I'm chill.
Second, I gots some 'splaining to do. As you know, I've been on lack of content. I had a few days where I pumped out content one after the other and now it's ceased. You may be asking, "What the hell, GEARS?" And to you, I answer: Ugee. Yes, recently I upgraded my tablet to a Ugee tablet. It was almost 4 times the size of my Wacom and had lots of other features. I loved it. It worked great, and I got it for way under $100. Only problem was, Photoshop updated, and now it does not want to work. I mean, it WORKS, but two inches to the left and up. This weird offset glitch is apparently exclusive to Photoshop, but SAI doesn't have all the neat tools I typically use. So, I'm currently waiting on a fix, or maybe an older version of Photoshop.
In the meantime, I'll be working on a new tail. Been experimenting around with glow-in-the-dark spray paint and Lion's Brand yarn which, when brushed out, is probably one of the softest material I think I've ever felt, just a tiny notch below kitten tummy fur. I may also write some stories, I don't know. School has started up, so it may be even more slow.
I also got to join in a drawing session with the lovely
kitsunezero. It was super fun and I found out about a cool program called drawpile. Check it out and FOLLOW HIM. He does lots of inflation stuff if you're interested in that and has a really fantastic style anyways if you're not.
And finally, a question I need your opinion on: Should I write a book? I've been debating this for awhile. I want to start composing Char's story into a book. I have so much story I want to tell, but nothing to do with it. Do you guys/gals/other think that I'd be skilled enough to start a book? Or should I move on to another medium? If I do, should it be a collection of short stories or a novel series? Should it be first person or third person? Retelling or journal entries? I have lots of ideas, and I need opinions.

Its coll to hear you upgraded your tablet, as for the story writing it isn't so much as what your audience is interested as it is how your writing style works in my opinion. Many of the writers I see here do it chapter(s) at a time and keep going till the story ends.... I.e.

OP
Yeah, I plan to make this book-big not just a long story. It's not so much worrying about my audience, it's more so an uncertainty as to what I'd do best with. I've had ideas of making it like a collection of files, retold by one GEAR historian, or from a series of joural entries, or possible just first/third person. I simply just don't know what would work best.

It does sound interesting but again it depends on what your writing style works best as
