Hey guys and gals; furs and hoomans!
Just giving a quick update on what's going through this Lycanthropic Cat's head at the moment as we roll right on into the New Year...which has apparently started with a loud bang as the media is concerned (Logan Paul and Bannon vs Trump not withstanding)(...did that even make sense?).
This is year is going to be my final attempt to revitalize myself with being a sub par sketch artists if anything. It's a difficult realization to submit to but unless I can muster some actual focus and determination with trying to improve my artwork (let alone even create some) I just don't know if I should even keep pursuing it as my main media of choice when trying to explore and show my ideas. However; that doesn't mean I'll stop drawing if it comes to it, it just means you should probably expect that side of me to not be as "popping" as it once was back when I started.
With that said; I do plan to indeed get back on the raw beaten horse that is my drawing this year as much as I can and maybe the outcome will be a lot more optimistic than I'm describing it. For starters, Starting January 15th (or sooner) I'll be attempting to sit down at my desk, pull out my pencils and sketchbook, and sketching "something" for at least an hour (more if I have time or energy) and will be posting the results. I'm hoping doing a 1 quick sketch everyday will rise my spirits and desires to keep drawing again while also maybe getting my brain juices flowin' to seeing how I could approve my own novice techniques as well as getting all of these ideas out of my head even if they are just rough sketches. Who knows; perhaps one or two of these I'll like so much that I'll pick a free day to spend more time on it (them) to better complete (maybe even color like I used to). Hell; I'll even let you watchers and viewers help me decide which rough sketch I post you'd most likely would like me to expand/finish into something more complete.
No Guarantees, but just perhaps...
Writing is going to be my main focus this year as I'm very disappointed with the lack of work I've done in the last two years (or three or four >__> ). It's time to resurrect a series or two that needs finishing, along with a few short stories I never got around to finishing even (Wolfhood: Reborn of course part of it but not the main). There is even one particular series I've kept stated I would always get back to but haven't lived up to that promise for almost a decade now but it has always been on my mind and throughout that decade always I have been thinking of scenarios, character bios, and unique endings. This is going to be that FUCKING year this dead horse (or wolf) finally gets its first Book completed...and then I can finally talk about the next ones I've been dying to explore and share with the community.
Here's a small catch though. While certain series and short stories that I've started will maintain the current "Kinky" vibes they were intended with, I want to gradually start pulling back my boundary breaking kinky explicitness in favor of focus less on implied sex and more on emotions of it. Sure I'll still have some weird stories where characters will feel some sexual thrill from their TF's, but I want to start restructuring my focus on telling less erotic scenarios. I'm...not quite sure how I'm going to accomplish that, but that's the plan. I guess the main point is that I want to be able to share my works to a broader audience than just a specific niche group (not that I have any problems with it).
IDK; maybe I'm not wording that right either.
Finally; my earlier plan from an earlier journal entry about what games I want to start streaming is still going to be a thing. Games like The Evil Within 1 and 2, The Last of Us, and so on are still on my list. At this point I have no delusions of become a YouTube star (considering there is a strong possibly YouTube is gonna get axed someday pretty soon if the people behind the platform keep treating it's users and content creators the way they have...let alone allow some to break their own rules and allow it to be acceptable), so anything I stream and post will simply be there for those who wish to see a grown cat be goofy, ragey, or trying to possibly practice being a voice actor.
However; with the exception of one ongoing project I'd like to get back to someday, I've decided I'm not going to be spending time editing my past videos anymore. As you may have noticed (those watching my YouTube page at least) that many of my last couple of vids have not been edited, purely raw footage. I just really don't have the time these days to put in work I'm not really getting paid for (let alone a lot of exposure...though that is mostly my own damn fault). Plus my current software for editing my videos is a gigantic piece of shit that never wants to do what I ask it to do, lags despite using a relatively high-end PC with i7 core processing and 16gb of RAM...and it still crashes on simple edits! (worse when this happens and I was 2 hours into editing having forgotten to save).
But hey; as I've said, if you are interested in seeing how this Cat fares in most gaming you can watch my past streams on YouTube or looking out for announcements on when I stream again.
Also...regarding my art stream...yeah....that's going to stay on hiatus for a while. To be honest; the setup I had sucked. The 720p webcam I had for it was crap and the lighting was always bad no matter where I placed my laps. And I really have no better place in my room or house that would work. I really wish there was some kind of webcam stand or webcam that I could bend and position or something. Until I can afford better equipment or lighting (or until I learn to get good with digital drawing...which means getting a drawing tablet and getting good with that), I'll just be a spectator for other artists and simply keep posting my sketches as normal (see above).
Anywho again; I think that's it for my brain...at least on this topic. Time to ruin myself further with a Star Wars review.
Until next time y'all, stay safe and Happy New Year. (Please be better than 2017 dammit, you are already starting off poorly).

That sounds as if you have quite some big ambitions and plans for the coming year. Wishing you all the best for it. **thumbs up**
