Hullo once more community that is here and watching, and happy Valentine's Day! According to Wikipedia, there are at least three major versions of the holiday, one being a Christian religious observance, one being a bit more secular in that it focuses on romantic love, and the third being some kind of religious feast or something. I appeal to the second one in this journal entry, and say unto you: "Happy Valentine's Day! For it is the day of love and romance, not merely between one and their lover, but between individuals, groups of individuals, and all whom are called friends. I wish you all the love I can offer, because I value all those who strive to benefit humanity--whether that be through acts of charity and good will, the kindness of sharing one's personal art and creativity with others, or for simply being there to render joyous greetings to your fellow human!"

And on that note, I want to offer my most sincere thanks to each and every one of you who have visited my gallery here, favorited my works, +watched me, or left comments--I do sincerely thank all of you for your time and interest! Do note that so far I've successfully replied to every comment thrown at me (as last I checked), so take it as a sign that I try to be as inclusive as possible! If you have any thoughts you want to share, ideas, or otherwise, don't hesitate to leave a message on one of my images, or send me a Note! I'm always more than happy to reply!

Updates! So there was a ten day gap between my last group of introduced characters, and the new and exciting sort of comic thing I've put together. Work's been busy for me, and I'm trying to make the most with my free time, but I finally had an opening in which I could start making this little project come to fruition. I hope folks are enjoying it so far--my main goal, with all my uploads, is to tell a story, as well as appeal to not only my personal tastes, but the interests of those who demonstrate their own interest by favoriting, +watching, and so on. If you enjoy what I do, let me know! If you enjoy something particular about what I've been doing, let me know and I'll try to do more of it!

Stories! "Gargoyle" is going to be somewhere around a 25-part story (depending on how many action frames I cram into a single panel). It's also an experiment into comic formatting--I'm figuring out ways of telling a story, incorporating character dialogue and later on some narration, without necessarily taking away from the scale and function of my renders (most of my renders you'll note are 1080p). While the comics probably won't be as big as a desktop wallpaper, I still want to show as much of the scenery and characters as possible, and I'm continuing to learn more about ways of doing that. Note that once I start with a particular style of framing and dialogue boxes/bubbles, I'm going to stick with it for the rest of that series, in order to avoid having a comic series in which the format suddenly changes half way, as that'd be rather jarring. I'm thinking Series I: Gargoyle will be done by the end of the weekend.

Lastly a little reminder, that Orc who broadcasts video games on Twitch is being a bit nostalgic lately, and playing Star Wars: Shadows Of The Empire, and later on GoldenEye 64. If you want to converse with a modern weight-lifting, truck-driving, fancy-cooking orc video gamer, he's always happy to have folks around. Check him out on Twitter or Facebook to let him know you're interested in watching, cause the more people he knows want to watch, the more often he'll probably stream.

Other than that, allow me to type Thank You one more time, and wish you all the best!
