Greetings everyone, this is Fido Artz. And welcome to an extremely late Octoonber update. Mainly because weeks in the month are flying by nearly over, and there hasn't been an update about it ever since my birthday Journal. But at the moment I feel like it's something I should get out of the way, for most of you guys.

So to recap, I'm now 23 last month and Feri is 51 on the 3rd of October. And we both appreciate the birthday wishes, most of you guys have given us on the activity status on DA.

We have been busy for the last couple of days, with activities such as, cleaning out the garage, selling things to my cousins pawn shop, and mostly getting the backyard ready so we can have some small little metal fences planted in certain areas where Angel, Hope, and Thomas can keep out of trouble. And stay away from certain areas and not mess up the patio. And of course, I've always been focused on my online video production class, and still doing great in it so far. And I do have confidence that I will succeed.

Now, do I have plans this Halloween? Well, I do. Just not plans to do some Halloween art or go to the next Comic Con convention this year. But instead, I will be going to a local event in town, which is the family Fall Festival held at the Calvary Chapel Church on October 31st. Which is going to have games, free food and drinks, and carnival rides. So I'm sure it's still going to be fun.

Art-wise, I'm kind of glad this new art schedule, that I made. Is working out for both me and you. And that easily makes a perfect work around outside my college and my life stuff. So for now on, I will be using the schedule more often. To work on artwork and other projects during the week and post my finished content during the selected weekends. Of course, I have big projects in the works. But I also have a plan concerning my YouTube channel. Which will be a semi-animated video of me talking about the future of my channel.

And that's pretty much it for this update of Octoonber. Sorry if this update came in late. If you have feedback for this and other topics discussed in this update or anything else. I look forward to it. Until next update, this is Fido Artz, have a safe and blessed Halloween week and stay artsy ^^

Greetings everyone, This is Fido Artz. And now I am 23 years old, becoming more older, wiser, yet still silly and childlike. And I certainly did have a good one yesterday. Got some cool stuff here and there, got some cool gifts and birthday wishes from you guys, went shopping and spend half of my birthday money, went out to dinner with Mom and one of our friends then got home and had some of my cake. It was all good.

I like to thank you all for your birthday wishes and your little gifts you guys have given me. They mean a lot to me and I really appreciate your friendships. If some of you guys are late to say happy birthday or have like late gift dark to show me. No worries, I will still appreciate your late birthday gifts and wishes, regardless.

Now with this journal, I'm not going to really leave it off here. Meaning, I am going to do something very special, I will be doing one of these challenges that my friends on DA ( mylesterlucky7 and FurrySkunky ) had tagged me on long ago. Normally, I am not a fan of chain journals that do the sort of thing. But I think this little challenge is a perfect special activity for a birthday Journal. So here we go, besides the fact that you already know about me, I enjoy cartoon animals such as dogs, foxes, ferrets, skunks etc, I have a Fascination for unconventional and imaginative ideas such as flatulent hapless underdog heroes and heroines, you know I love roller derby and wrestling, and you already know. I'm a spiritual Christian. So without further ado, here are some eight facts about Me.

Fact 1: the Fido Fursona was created around December 3rd, 2013. When I first started out on deviantART around 2011 and 2012. I never really had a Persona or Fursona or creative nickname to go under. 2013 is both when Fido and Mephanlina were created, and upon getting a new username. Fido Artz took off from there.

Fact 2: Fido's astronomy sign is a Libra, his Chinese zodiac sign is the Year of the Dog, and has native Indian blood of the Choctaw tribe. That last part I never knew about myself until I found out about it from my mother and other family members.

Fact 3: Fido is drug-free, smoke-free, and alcohol-free. This is true with me and my character, I have never taken an interest to do these sort of things, and pretty much never will for the rest of my life.

Fact 4: Fido hardly swears, another thing partly true with me but extremely true with my character, I'm very light and quietly on swears and of course hung out with people who swear. But I never try to make it a major part of my vocabulary. Especially in my writing and with many of my other characters in my series. To be honest, throwing in swears and curses just to make yourself sound smart, funny, or just simply get your point across. Is the exact opposite of those things and you're not going to please a lot of people with it. So I don't need to throw in colorful vocabulary to make myself stand out.

Fact 5: Fido can sometimes be a picky eater when it comes to food, and that is brutally honest on my end. Specifically, I simply just enjoy a cheese pizza or a hot dog with no special toppings on them. So I can be a plain Jane in that regard, of course, I do eat my vegetables such as green beans, broccoli, spinach and such. I used to avoid eating those as a kid, which is pretty typical for kids to dislike vegetables. But I still can't really eat fruit, unless it's fruit snacks or gummies vitamins. Sometimes it comes down to taste. Also, I keep certain side dishes from not touching certain foods on my plate.

Fact 6: Fido sometimes likes to nap and sleep, which somewhat makes me a sleepy Terrier. It's, of course, it's not an all the time thing, but sometimes it's great to sleep in when a weather is too hot or too cold to make you get up. or just have hot dogs sleep in your bed and make you sleep in for 5 more minutes. Let alone hibernate. or maybe sleep in after staying up.

Fact 7: Fido has a strong, not sensitive nose. I have been around city dumps, landfills, and towns with a smelly chemical atmosphere. That I really kind of got an immunity to certain odors altogether or just fascinated by them. So it's kind of easy how I got a certain flatulent skunk as a GF. Mephie's cute skunky antics knows no bounds of amusement.

Fact 8: Fido eats most of his meat with barbecue sauce, off the grill or cooked on the stove. pork chops, ribs, barbecue chicken, chicken nuggets, steak, even chicken fried meat. The only meat I eat without barbecue sauce is fried chickens from the grocery store Deli and KFC, they are too perfect for that.

Bonus fact: Fido's stylus is based on the touch pens I used over the years, such as,
The Wacom Bamboo digital tablet, The TABLO touch screen pen, the blue pen with a touch screen feature on the on the bottom end of the pen, now I am currently using a Red pen also with a touch pen feature not on the bottom this time. That works better for my digital art.

And those are 8 facts about me, if you like to ask me about any more facts about me that are not listed, do not hesitate to ask me.I would tag other people, but I am just going to let you guys, try it out for yourselves and tell your interesting 8 facts about your characters.

Thank you guys for reading and thank you all again for the birthday wishes and gifts. I really appreciate them. I will now showcase the neat gifts you guys have made for me, as I close off this birthday journal here. Again thank you all for your gifts and wishes. And I look forward to hearing your thoughts on this and other things to talk about. Until then, This is Fido Artz, have a blessed good day and stay artsy ^^

Thank you guys, for your gifts, you are talented and creative. And heres to life at 23 ^^

Greetings everyone, this is Fido Artz, with a mid-September update. Includes life updates, college, updates on my artwork, and what other agenda it goes on in my mind that's worth talking about. Both good and bad.

This week so far has been an interesting one, and it almost got me and my mom in a jam. when we were going shopping 2 nights ago and checked out with a card to pay for groceries and supplies. it was not working the at the register. so we decided to check out the card at an atm to find it had $4.00 on it. mom was so scared and upset that she thinks that her account got robbed, and well we find out what is really going on. around September 9th, I had canceled my 1-year membership, so I can buy a $19.99 school monthly plan for the creative cloud. but today we got charged for the yearly plan anyway and my mother is not too happy. And I agree with her this took a huge chunk of money from the card. So we then had a dispute with the Adobe representatives both on the phone and over the chat. we should be getting the money refunded back in 5-7 business days. So what they just did an extremely bad move and hope they don't do the same thing to us again.

Collegewise video pro has been going well, despite the fact I've missed the deadline for the first assignment Yen managed to turn it in any way. Hopefully, that will give me half credit. The two things were as I had a block on what idea of A music video I could make until it was too late. So I went with an idea of showcasing my best art and animations I made set to one of my favorite band's music. Another one was irl stuff given me more on my plate than I'd like such as routines, chores, town errands, and gym workouts have mostly been slightly Huger focuses in my day. But hopefully, my second assignment known as the dicey question will make up for the deadline I missed for the music video.

Now for the art-wise, as you might have known from My last journal that I announced a plan to keep my art consistent on a weekly basis. Most of you might be curious when this will take effect and how it would work. Well, how I think it would work is, in the week, I start sketching my artwork and then take a picture or scan them to send them to my computer so I can work on them further and add the finishing touch to the final art piece. Finally, around weekends I shall be posting my artwork and other projects here.

I figured the weekends would work better for you guys. Because you guys would either have a day off from work or school or don't really have much to do. It will most likely take effect next week, but keep in mind it's probably some of my won't make an every-week thing, because again I have life priorities and college priorities to take care of.

And also sent in September, my birthday will be coming up in two weeks and at the end of this month. I don't have anything big or special planned right now, and I don't think I'll be attending another Comic-Con right away either. I'll just have to wait and see and maybe enjoy my birthday to a simple yet special extent.

And so ends another mid-month update, because well last month was a mid-month update. But either way, it's worth keeping you guys informed and getting things off my chest. And I look forward to your thoughts and feedback on this and other topics. Until next update as ever, this is Fido Artz, have a blessed good day and stay artsy ^^

Greetings everyone this is Fido Artz, and August is here and I'm sure most of you guys are once again returning to or start another year in school and colleges and most of all bowl is going to be coming around the corner. But your creativity and your friendship still going strong on on the world wide web. So it's time again for another update.

So around August the 17th, I will be seeing my counselor at 4 p.m. For a meeting. It concerns my 2017 fall semester class, which starts on the 19th. I mostly think I am going to be taking another online class again because I extremely doubt that construction hasn't really broken as much ground to get the campus and student Lounge and cafeteria back in order again in a year or two. And that's kind of sad because you don't really have much of a place to hang out at lunch or after class. Other than that, semester class I really haven't decided on yet. But hopefully, it would really be a good class to add to my stepping stone of other classes I have successfully completed. I will be writing statuses on what my next class will be.

LifeWise I have been straightening up my room, and mostly putting up most of my dad's memorabilia that was packed away in the Box in the garage, which is usually NASCAR stuff and Budweiser holiday mugs. And that usually requires moving most of my stuff from one mounted shelf to another. Sometimes dusting and cleaning off most stuff. I have also more plans to decorate my room, and one of them is to have your fanart and gift or that you guys have created for me over the years over my bed along with my best artwork to as well. Maybe have some of them in frames too. I can say honestly that my room isn't all perfect right now, but it's a decent work in progress. Also, my mom and my friend has set up a routine for me, which would be about going to the gym to workout and maintain health on a weekly basis.

Now art wise, you know I have I have been putting up artwork recently getting back to it. And started to create team logos for the rollerblitz League. These are pretty motivational little art projects, that I can really get done in an hour or two. But it really helps with the motivation. I have also been using my artwork as a modification for a video game for a fun little idea. And it mostly incorporates my roller Blitz teams, uniforms, And characters. And use them in a wrestling game called Wrestling Revolution, which is extremely customizable than any of the wrestling game I have seen in the past. And this idea was to have the match be like roller derby in a wrestling ring, calling it world team wrestling league. Also in status, I will tell you the rules on how that concept works. Also, the Skunkboy and hackrat comic is in an Early stage of planning. and more artwork is in the works.

Now I know some of you might think that I might be going on another break from my art due to my upcoming online class, maybe so. But I think of coming up with a plan to be consistent with my content when I am not hugely busy with college, house and town errands, and other daily activities. Maybe upload them in weekly batches or something. Just have to see if this plan works out well

And that does it for another update, I hope you are doing okay and I wish you the best of luck in your classes in schools and colleges this year. I also look forward to your thoughts on these and other topics discussed, until then as always. This is Fido Artz, have a blessed good day and stay artzy ^^

Greetings everyone this is Fido Artz and as July is almost near a close. And it's time for another look back.

Compared to last summer, this one was busier and laid-back at the same time. Because I was more focused on my online college class and didn't really get to do anything special or big. Besides having my nephew over for two and a half months before you head home on the 19th of July, which we lightly visit each other. Mostly he keeps going over to his uncle Rusty's and his dad places. Mom was starting to get a little suspicious of his behavior her and think he's staying out past curfew going to a party. Until we find out what's really going on, he's helping his dad move after getting evicted, no one is helping his dad, and worst of all his dad has been having seizures. And that right there is very scary and you bet my mom could feel bad for doubting my nephew. With me losing my dad, it would be a similar experience to my nephew if his dad died. So it's understandable for the reason why he wouldn't leave his dad. And hope his father is doing okay at his new house. So it was an okay visit with an understandable situation.

As for my affair, I have managed to successfully complete my computer literacy with a final grade of 92.03%. which is an A. it was a tough battle hanging on, but I still did it I can say I am having a good experience with this class and it certainly can have its good and bad, ups and downs, and hit and misses. What I liked about the class, that it did bring some common ground and new territory for me to learn about computers and Technology. The SAMS was certainly a very interesting way to train and take exams. Rather than following in the bubbling quiz format, SAMS drop you in an interactive environment that recreates certain situations pertaining to the programs you're using. I feel like that steps the game of how we learn how to use computer programs that are relevant to this course and get taught new tricks and features along the way. My least favorite pet peeve about SAMS is that as I progressed to the next week, the tasks just keep getting longer, like 30 or 40 pages long. And sometimes certain parts of the SAMS can be broken or buggy that it that it sometimes doesn't get my responses well in certain tasks that it bumps me to next one after 3 attempts. Hopefully, that can be fixed in the long run. It's hard enough I work hard on the assignments given to me and put all my effort in it. But trying to finish SAMS training and exam can take a while.

Another least favorite thing would be very little or lack of communication in discussions. And that's not just me but also a few students that never got a reply for their discussion. Communication is key, and replying is important for this class or any online class in general, really something I want to see more in this class. Also what I want to see you less of would be discussion deadlines being on Thursday at midnight. Discussion deadlines should be more towards the start of the week on Monday. Thursday deadlines would be a bit stressful for students who are kind of like in the middle of their assignment or SAMS and certainly would hate to enter a discussion at the last minute. So keep them towards the same deadlines towards the start of the next week of class. Certain programs and assignments can range from easy or difficult. For example, Word and PowerPoint are easy to know because I've used programs like this before, Excel, on the other hand, is difficult to work with at times I have seen it but never knew how it worked. But it takes time to understand difficult programs and how they work. Then maybe they might come in handy one day for you and me to use when it's really necessary.

But overall what's said here, I did have a good experience learning from this class, friendly students and instructor, a decent and easy to understand format to the train and take exams, and it can also not only make you a better student who understands computers and Technology, but also can get a better grasp on how to take an online class. it's all hard work that i needed to focus on every now and then. Thank you all for being supportive friends

Until then let's enjoy the free time I have for the rest of the days until Fall class begins which is on 08/19/17. I will find my next future class to take, for now, free time is there and I will make it last.

you know I've been thinking I think colleges, Should organize a benefit for students to take a semester off when they don't feel like taking anything in particular. Some college students can take the summer off optionally. so I would not see why students who worked them selfs during the summer can't take a semester off in the fall and come back in the spring.

And that's it for this update, I look forward to your thoughts on these and other topics, until then as always, I'm Fido Artz Have a blessed good day and stay artzy ^^

Greetings everyone and this is Fido Arts and Welcome to the second month of Summer, July. And happy 4th of July Eve. And I say that because of Fourth of July's tomorrow and it's time to talk about some monthly updates.

So at the moment, I've been a little sidetracked, and busy with my computer literacy class. So far I have been going straight forward with good grades in that class. And that's usually doing journals, chatting in discussion boards what's my other classmates and my instructor, and also the SAMS training and exams pertaining to the topics each week. The class is pretty engaging and I've been doing well in it. I am currently on my 5th week of class right now. And as always I have been one hundred percent focused on it.

This is mostly the reason why I haven't been doing or putting out as much artwork like I used to, is because not only I'm busy with my online college class, but I'm also busy with life stuff right now. And I mostly just currently just being a social outlet to talk to, hang out with, chat and RP with my friends and acquaintances online. Either here, Facebook, in chat messenger like Skype, Telegram, and Discord. I also have not been using my Tumblr in Google Plus, often either. So it's a bit multitasking and repetitive. Because you would be busy with three things such as home chores and town errands, College, and taking care of my three dogs. So I am a bit tied up.

Another thing is that that mom and I got a huge electricity bill last week we paid off, so we are kind of cutting back on using the thermostat often, it's still hot out here, but we've got a lot of ceiling fans in the house to circulate the airflow of this house. And hopes that reduce the next bill that we get. So far things have been okay.

Now, this brings me to my nephew who's been staying in town, he has been hanging out with his dad and his uncle. We lightly get to see each other often. And he almost got himself in trouble with my mom last month. But it's not all that rocky. Mom and I are trying to make plans so we can all hang out together. So we are going to be going bowling at Sierra Lanes. Because due to the fungi outbreak in The Lakes of Isabella. A camping trip or a fishing trip is out of the question. So I'm sure we're going to have a good time until my nephew flies home on June 14th.

Now art-wise and production-wise, you know the reason why it's a bit slow. But out of all the things going on this summer. I always have those inspiration and creative gears turning in my membrane. I have actually thought about my projects and my characters. All of which are still near and dear to me. From plans to draw pictures, make animations, and writing literature. And of course, try to make a video game. My next plan was to make a skunk-boy and HackRat origin story in a form of a literature. But, I still remember that mutts & Clawz prolog story I wrote a long time ago. And looking back at it, I think I could have written it better. And I doubt a skunk boy and hack rat literature would not do much either.

But instead, I will make it in a form of a comic book. Because I Feel Like Comics could tell a story through drawings, words, and sound effects. And drawing comic books have not been really been new territory for me. I had in the past, but I I feel it's some of my should bring back and explore more with my art skills. And superheroes are pretty much cut out for comic books, to begin with. Especially with my two characters, skunk boy and hack rat. So expect that to be in the works.


I also hope to help out a friend C-Wonder with a collab project that features one of my and his characters. He does neat 2D and 3D animations and artwork and definitely a great voice artist. And he's also a great person to talk to. But we both been busy with our other projects and other endeavors in life. So we might someday. Just later.

And that's it for this update, I hope you all have a great 4th of July, and I also hope most of my Canadian fans had a great Canada day 2 days ago, I look forward to your thoughts on this and other topics. Until then as Always, this is Fido Artz. Have a blessed good day and a safe 4th of July, and stay artsy. ^^

Greetings everyone, this is Fido Artz and summer is here. and that means its time for a monthly hot update.

So my new online class has begun today, its called Computer literacy. that class teach me computer program operations both of familiar and new territory, specifically, it practice file management, email, instant messaging, Internet browsing and searching. This course includes a brief introduction to industry standard word processing, spreadsheet, and presentation application programs. Computer terminology and identification of fundamental hardware and software applications is introduced. So in term, its kind of like that one summer class from last year that teach me how to be a successful online student. Well, slightly advanced. but, i will do my best in that class. its going to be 8 weeks long, as like much every online class in the summer, i pretty much has limit options of what classes to take, due too construction still going on at the college campus groups, which would be done a year or two. So wish me luck on this class, guys.

Also, My nephew from Kansas city has flew in 2 days ago and He will be staying for half of the summer visiting me, mom, his dad, and his friends still in town. However, my hometown of Ridgecrest is starting to be a little dangerous. So mom and i, are worried about bad things happening to him out there, if he decides to walk around town. He maybe around the same age as me and capable of staying out of trouble, but we just don't know. we will still all have a safe good time visiting together, until around mid or late July, my nephew go back to the airport and flies back to Kansas.

Art wise, been a super slow going focus as of now. especially, with how much i am going to be doing in the summer and how fatiguing the heat is going to be, but regardless. i will find time to draw here and there out of my college classes and visits. and i will catch up on chats and rp with you guys. we will just have to wait and see what this summer holds for all of us here.

And thats the first month of summer update, i look forward to your thoughts and feedback on these discussed and other topics, until next month of summer update. always, This is Fido Artz, have a blessed good summer and stay artzy. ^^

Greetings everyone, this is Fido Artz and last week i looked at my final grade of my traditional art online class of the 2017 spring semester. and its an A so i succeed yet again on another online class.Through this semester, it has been a journey of ups and downs in traditional art. So i look back and rate my experience of the class and the projects from 1 to 10:
1.Blind contour 7\10
what to be said about this assignment, it was familiar territory but put into a different handling and prospective. the idea of looking at your hand while drawing it on paper through observation can vary between easy or hard. going through attempts and tryout different gesture to sketch while looking at them.
2.Wire voodoo doll 4\10
This one was a little messy and little painful, still i am glad i make a wire figure for this assignment. i have to agree through the head could of use a little work. might need better safety gloves if i had to do this again. that wire was pretty oily. Don't try this, unless you have the right protective gloves.
3.Color wheel 8\10
First painting assignment in class. and i think my attempt at making a color wheel was fairy decent. It still a cool example of what colors you would get with 2 or 3 colors together.
4.Upside down drawing 9\10
it was a sketching assignment to test how well i sketch a drawing from a different angle, this one took a couple of attempts to get right.
5.Tints and shades 7\10
Another unique assignment, Mix certain base colors with white each time to make it brighter. Mix certain base colors with black each time to make it darker. sounds easy to do, but can be difficult to do and know how much white or black to add to get blighter tints or darker shades. i have to admit i did not notice some of the paint looking wet. i still think this was a okay assignment in painting.
6.Exploring the photo archive 4\10
This assignment was tough. mostly because some of the images in the gallery didn't really have much appeal to me or was too morbid looking. But i manage to find my best photos from the photo stream. explaining them can range from big or small reasons to like a picture.
7.Inflatable plastic 8\10
Fun big project here. using a huge plastic cloth to make a inflatable sculpture. this is a neat project that ran with a few minor setbacks. mainly the tacky packing tape. besides that. i think this inflated weapon turned out perfect. thanks to me, my mom, scissors, the shapes, and a hairdryer to inflate some life into this plastic piece.
8.Films about artists review 10\10
despite the vacation out of town and out of state putting a constraint between me and this written assignment. i still think i managed to pull it off. knowing the story of the artist and his challenge in art.

Classroom students communication i think it would be a 4/10 because it could of been handled a bit better with the show your work being on the homepage a week rather then being a unlisted module because these were not easy to find. it was like a small class or not alot of students were interactive. communication is key rather its feedback from other students or helping out others if it was a group project.

Journals and quiz 8\10 they are basic and easy to understand and do. I think i have always gave my analyse and honest thoughts on responses to topics pertaining to this class and its topics. So its pretty common and standard to do these journals for this class, as well the quiz's.

As for my instructor Brad, 9/10 He seem to be a good understanding instructor, with a fair handling on this art class. he make each assignment easy to understand. interesting work ethics and you he good decent critiques i could take to heart, and most of all, he is pretty much a down to earth person i have met. nice to see another person who knows strong bad and homestar runner.

I think this class was fun overall. It was a fun experience to have, work on these projects and learning the history of art and how far this culture has made it in this world. i think a traditional art class, online was a unique online class to have in this day and age and it really works, thank you for having me, Brad. it was nice to be in your class.

i wrote this as a survey to which he replied:

Thanks for the kind words and thanks for being in my class this Semester. Good luck with your future plans.
-Brad

This right there ended my spring semester on a good note. and i am proud of it. so is my mom, my dad, and everyone in the family. it was fun to try out different medium of art in this class. so it was fun, hard work, and easy to learn. And i am glad that most of you enjoyed my art work i did for college. its great to have you guys involve with the art i do outside of my regular art i have done and i thank you all for being my support in general. it goes to show that you can succeed if you put all your focus on whats important to you in life rather its school and college. you will succeed with your full efforts and huge focus on your projects or assignment. you will find success on your important goals.

Now that my spring semester is done. i have now signed up for my future summer semester class and its Computer Literacy, and its going to be another online class, its going to be a 8 week online class. And summer classes online will always be about clam'in for college. its starts on june 5th. So we will see, afterall, i have successfully pass 3 online classes, so I honestly hope I do well in this class and succeed as well. So wish me luck.

Despite all this happening. i have shortly gotten back to my art again. did a birthday piece for one of my friends outside of DA, and its just enough to motivate me to get back in. my next art piece i have to work on is AlterEgoAndie request. then i will see if i can get more art pieces and collages done around this week.

And that is pretty much that in this entry. i look forward to your feedback on this and other topics. again, communication is key ;) Until next update, this is Fido Artz have a blessed good day and stay artzy.

Greetings everyone, this is Fido Artz and I am finally back home from my two week and ½ vacation in Oklahoma, Kansas, and Tulsa. And it certainly was a adventure that had its ups and downs compared to my other one from 2015 I figure I should start with how it begin.

It was going to be a once year thing where me and my mother, around the spring of April visiting my family and relatives who lived or moved over there for 2 weeks which was April 21st for this year. The plan I thought was changed was that our friend will be driving us to the Vegas airport on the 20th. Turns out, the original game plan still stands. We packed up our things and our ride picked us up and we drove to Vegas, Nevada. At certain times my stomach was a bit achy from the trips but I took some medicine such as motion sickness pills. From there we stayed a night at my friends parents house, which had no wi-fi but good hospitality and visiting went good.

Next day, me and mom got dropped off at the airport and we just look around, played with a few slots, and then depart to the 7am plane. Personally even though I am person who takes a step out of my comfort zone. But I was not a fan of traveling too far out of town or flying across states with some turbulence. But we managed to get though it okay and landed at Tulsa airport in Oklahoma where my uncle at the arrival picked us up and drive us around town. It was a ok town, but rural life doesn't really have much of a appeal to me but also one thing I dislike about the certain parts of town is its religious beliefs it has rather then it having a spiritual belief, and not to mention tornado warnings if you don't keep watch. Besides those, my uncle dropped us off to my grandmother's house. Where we begin our 1st week visit.

Our visits sometimes had been easy going yet little drama occur here and there at times. But me and mom easily get these conversations back on a rational level adverting conflicts. we had fun at the Choctaw Indian casino and I walked away with $48 then added on $30 to my winnings which would be $72 I think. Then we also went to a bigger Choctaw Indian casino and hotel in Arkansas. Where we celebrated my uncles birthday on April 25th. We had a good time but I feel bad for my uncle who has been having bad luck, one of them is finding his horse trigger, dead on the pouch of his house, which he had to gave a burial. He expect that trigger picked a fight with his other horse's which resulted in that incident.

So we figured me and mom should spend tonight as my uncles house and at least cheer him up and make his life a little better. We took a walk through my uncles property which is a little pond, the woods, and the boat. Then we met his animals such as the 2 other horses one horse is named Scout and a small pony named Joey. We try to pet them but something spooked them and me and my mother almost got steamrolled by them, luckily we got pushed out of the way before it can fully happen. And I also had to help my uncle figure out the VR goggles for his phone. It works but unfortunately his phone system is not compatible with the google cardboard system which tracks and navigates where you look at in a 360 3d video. And neither is mine sadly.

Next day, my mom wanted to visit my mom's dad & my grandfather and other uncle's grave and leave flowers by their headstones. And that brought back some sad memories to her, especially that time where he passed away on 2005 and she went to his funeral. But I know and feel, that they are both in peace. After that, we went back to grandmas for a last visit. We try to help her find a place to stay or buy a temporary mobile home she can make a temporary home until her house upcoming renovation. She was a bit against the idea of staying with friends, family or in a trailer or hotel because she is worried about her cats and dogs safety or having a rocky relationship with certain members. We also spotted a mobile home on sale which we all thought it work. But after closer inspection by my grandmother and uncle, she declined on it. So we tried.
Next day came, our visit with my grandmother and uncle done, said good bye,and my sister and her new love picked us up. We left Oklahoma and head out to Coffeyville, Kansas where my sister and the kids has moved to a new 2 story house in town similar to the other one from my 2015 trip. Its a nice house outside but inside a another story. . After we made it to Coffeyville, I get to know my big sister, her new friend who is a cop, and my 5 nieces and 2 nephews. We ate a Chinese buffet restaurant which is a few blocks from the house. Then we started our 2nd week of the vacation.

And we find out that they are moving out to a new house yet again. Which is a pretty nice looking house. Visiting has been going good but me and mom start to get sick to our heads, but its very temporary. This also happen with me in Oklahoma My nephew points out that there are huge allergies here in this state. I don't know how allergies can cause symptoms but I am glad they are temporary. We still manged to have fun and visiting and also ate another buffet which is a steak one rather then a Chinese one. Went shopping, attempted the claw machine, and just hang out with my nephew in his room up stairs and I also got my own personalized bible from my sister.

Despite the ups and downs of this week I feel there are overall things I did now like, one of them is trying to keep up with my online class. its been tedious to fit that in along with my visits with family, one example would be my 3rd vocab journal. i thought i submitted that assignment complete with my commentary and use of the words in sentence before packing up to head to vegas and catch a plane to kansas and oklahoma. only to find out around one of my visits in Oklahoma, i didn't submit so i had to find the vocab words and definition of every word again but left out the commentary because i was running out of time. so it was a last minute thing i will take responsibility for. Which earns me partial credit. The movie review based on a artists biopic assignment also faced a similar circumstance with time. because i doubt i would get to watch the entire movie while being on vacation. but i seen most of the movie and get the idea of the artists, characters, elements, without giving away too many spoilers. And most of you know i used to do movie reviews online on DA before but those reviews pretty much tells a movie from start to finish and goes into too much detail. so i try to avoid that with this review assignment and pick out the highlights and interesting main plot points and focuses. But in the end of that concern. I have been doing pretty good on my traditional art class with a 92.28% so far I am going to focus on the 3 last remaining assignments with no hitches in between.

The vacation was over, we packed up and my sister drove us to Tulsa and dropped us off at the Tulsa airport. knowing that we had a good visit, we got passed security checks and sit down to wait for our plane Allegiant Air to Vegas. Until.. the flight got delayed and then suddenly got canceled til tomorrow due maintenance and everyone was not happy. Instead of having my sister picking us up and going back to Kansas. We are given vouchers and then we took a shuttle bus to a hotel which is not far from the airport and just settle down and eat at a near by Denny's. And apparently this is not the first time this Allegiant Air flight delay and cancellation happen, infact it has happen 2 or 3 times this week. I enjoyed the hotel, but I really wanted to go home as planned, I just had a good time but I just feel like overstayed my welcome, Kind of similar to the Markiplier vs delta airline story.

Next day, me and mom both checked out and get on the shuttle bus hoping that we finally get on a plane and fly to Vegas so we can get home. We got past every mandatory thing and had lunch. Then wait and here we go again with Allegiant Air the delays keeps stacking up. Even though I am a nice guy. I got to confess I was getting little peeved inside with this situation. And the other customers are getting more angry, heated, and tired if they had to be canceled and sent back to their homes and hotels again. But instead of canceling the flight. They decide to send in what they call a rescue plane to get us to vegas. We waited for its arrival, they give us sodas and pizzas. However the wi-fi handling there was extremely terrible and spotty for laptops and phones alike.
Moments later. The plane shows up and then we board the flight. And that patients of waiting have payed off. And before you know it we are flying to Vegas. I think the staff handled the situation perfectly this time. But I think Allegiant Air is going to have to pay for me, mom, and everyone's for may 1st incident. Personally I think Oklahoma, Kansas, and Tulsa are good places to visit to family but not a place I rather moved too if I had to deal with common occurrences such as tornadoes and storms.

We finally made it to Vegas, and our ride picked us up, we stayed a night at his parents house from 2 weeks ago. Then say good bye and then set course for Ridgecrest,CA. My hometown. We also stopped at baker to check out a cool attraction I remember seeing when I was kid. It was called alien fresh jerky and it was awesome and got bigger last time I seen it with my dad. After the drive we finally made it home.

And that was my 2 week vacation in Oklahoma, Kansas, and Tulsa. And boy this took a lot to remember, write down, and cram in a single journal. Compared to the 2015 vacation, this one was more layed back and mellow. Had its ups and downs. But it was still a good vacation. I also liked that most of stayed in touched with me during my trip and it really means a lot to me to have you guys involved with what I am doing outside of my art, animation, literature, and such endeavors by being more interactive with you guys though messengers, skype, discord, telegram, notes, and statuses. You guys such as AlterEgoAndie, Thunder-Clap-Clide, 8TeamFriends8, and Jasonbrambletail have been getting me through tough spots in my life and my trip. Thank you all so much for being good friends.

And thank you all for reading all this, I look forward to your thoughts on my trip and other topics. And now I am going to go rest up for the day knowing that we made it home. Until next time as always, this is Fido Artz have a blessed good day and stay artzy ^^

Greetings everyone, this is Fido Artz and this a quick update, I have been doing okay after that wisdom teeth removal 2 weeks ago. Specifically i had 4 removed from top left and right to bottom left and right, gotten an awful alot of numbing shots that ranged from painless to painful. Until i was able to not feel anything, including the pressure put on my said 4 teeth being removed and ended up walking away with my entire bottom lip feel completely lock jawed like a latex costume piece, and had gauze in my mouth to stop bleeding until they are ready to be removed. Around The post operation week i was given instruction such as, applying a cold pack to reduce the swelling while resting for 2 days, hold warm saltwater in mouth and let it run out of my mouth, take proscribed pain killers, and i wasn't able to eat anything i like to eat other then Liquids go-gurts, pudding, and noodles. I regain my eating appetite 2 weeks past. but, mostly have to chew with my front teeth now sense i no longer had my wisdom's in the back. However things have been going okay and painless this week.


Why i decide to write a update in the middle is obvious, the days are counting down. with a minor note. the original plan was that me and mom will be heading out to Vegas on the 21st, but due to change of plans she decided that we will be going tomorrow so will are packing our things. Our friend will be picking us up on that day to drive us to the airport in Vegas, So we can catch a plane so me and mom can see family over at Kansas and Oklahoma. as said before we will be staying for 2 weeks there and we will be returning home around the start of next month. But i fortunately i will be taking my laptop this time so i can stay in touch with you guys and my college. So wish me luck and safe trip tomorrow when i write in the status of when i leave.

As for college, i have been doing great in my traditional art online class, i have 9 assignments left this semester. then i will be class searching for a class on campus for summer semester. At the moment i don't know what to take next. so i am still on the fence on what class to take. until then i don't know. However i am glad some of you enjoyed my college art piece of both digital and traditional format, Its great to have you involved

Artwise, i will most likely be doing my art around my vacation and when i get home from my vacation. But visiting and caring for family, and my college comes first, so as always, its going to be super slow going and reduced, same to be said for RPs too.

Also besides that, if you guys have not seen it yet, i have my first speed art video up last week. it took time and days to work on and It may not be perfect but keep in mind that this my first speed art video and good and fair constructive criticism is welcomed.




Well that was my quick mid month update, thank you all for reading, when i find time out of my college and trip prepping, i look forward to your feedback on this and other topics discussed, until next update, I am Fido Artz have a blessed good day any stay artzy ^^

Greetings everyone this Fido Artz and happy a-pear fools day or 1st of April. where its all fun in games until some one takes a joke too far. Not the whole pear thing ofcourse i do not plan to do a peal drawing. i mean certain jokes like say journals that jokingly announces a situation about leaving, quitting DA, or something worst like suicide. those are very trival thing to joke about on this particle day. As i said about this last year it contradict and ruins the harmless fun of this holiday. So be very careful and creative with your April fools jokes. me, I don't plan to do any.

Now for some legitimate updates. easter is coming up and so is the candy giant Reese bunny :p Okay, back on subject, Fido. Around this month i will be doing a speed art video on Youtube with one of my upcoming art pieces where you see my entire creative process in firealpaca. So be on the look out for that soon.

Also, on April 22, I and my mom will be once again heading to Vegas to catch a plane and fly out Kansas to see my sister and the rest of my family over there. we will be there for 2 weeks. Hopefully i can bring my laptop this time to catch up on my college work and with you guys. We will have to see.

As always i am open to your feedback on this and other topics. also on my status bars for encourage a sharing, chat, and such interactivity with everyone when i am not doing update journals like i do on a monthly basis. Thank you guys for reading this journal until next update, I am Fido Artz have blessed and safe good day and stay artzy ^^

Greetings everyone, This is Fido Artz and its March, who would of thought February would pass by so quickly. I certainly didn't either. Oh well. Its update time And Spring is coming, everyone.

Well i can say i have been great in my college art class. assignments such a creating a wire sculpture, painting the color wheel, and even drawing a assign image from a upside down angle. also been doing good on my quizzes and journals too. So in general life still going good.

But however, my laptop has been acting strange. specifically my system fan is making a loud buzzing noise like a racing motor going very fast and vibrating my laptop like crazy. which can be a annoyance to get used to. but, i feel there can be some consequences if i do not get this taking care of. Such as overheating. So this may effect my work and project often until i get this problem cleared away hopefully avoiding buying a replacement laptop and start over to square one in the process.

Around April, Me and my mother Feri, are planning on seeing most of my family over at Kansas and Oklahoma again. If things work out i might see if its possible to bring my laptop with me so i can catch up with you guys while visiting. If i can fix the said problem that is.

Anyways, thanks for reading and i am looking forward to your thoughts on this and other topics, until next possible update, This is Fido Artz, Have a blessed good day and stay artzy ^^

Greetings everyone, this is Fido Artz and here is a brief update for this month. I'm doing okay and have been mostly busy with college art class and looking after a friend at home who had a pacemaker surgery put into him 2 weeks ago. So I have been too busy with IRL stuff around this month to get any art work out on here. With the exception of my cupid arroma animation preview which I am still working on in my spare time.

Hopefully you guys are hanging in there despite my busy life. I know some people would unwatch or move on from certain artists when they do not put a lot of content or just get tired of them. I understand that and that kind of sucks that artists don't have a lot of spare time to create content when they have so much going on in their life such as school, college, work, or just life in general, and they put so much work in what they created that gave them their following online only to have little time to do more. What people should realize is that some creators has a life outside of the site and needs time to themselves to get other important endeavors done and just see art as a fun hobby rather then a career.

So thank you guys for understanding my situation and sticking around to chat, rp, collaborate, and just enjoying my creative merits and my interactive company as of whole. I open to your feedback on this update and other topics.

Until next update, I am Fido Artz, have a blessed good day and stay artzy ^^

note to some who seen this art: This piece was also meant for the journal too. so, sorry if its kind of like a "broken record" repeat. But i am so proud of what i have written. So i think some of you would receive this message better as a journal. thanks for reading ^^

The meaning of my new art piece entitled "2017, we are here" means we are here to make the best of this year, and why i say that is because its gonna be another crazy year. with protests still going on over the unsatisfactory of the new president and everyone is at each others neck. I can honestly say, i am not a qualified person to talk about politics. i have friends who are supporters of the new president, some friends against the new president, me i'm in the middle, neutral to the whole thing. And i know for a fact everyone on the internet are going towards the mentality of starting flame wars and negativity over the biggest to littlest of reason. and i fear this might happen in our community.

Against the new president or not, This is just too crazy and silly, we do not need to act this way. I think we can be better people then that. We need keep our heads on straight and just stay positive and optimistic above the negativity that goes on in our world. We can set aside and respect each others flaws and differences, just to support each other and be happy together. And i know for a fact we may hit the bleakest hour of a event each year. but i repeat again, you got to stand your ground, find that positivity and maintain it with you at all cost, because there will be some good things awaiting around the corner this year out of all that hype on the bad things that seems to trending these days.

out of all the things that happen each year. No year is going to be a 100% perfect year. Yet we must do everything we can to overcome the negative mentality and stigma of what goes about online or IRL and make it a good and better year for eachother, for everyone in our community. 2017 we are here to make the memorable and good of this year. So, heres to 2017 we can continue to show a evergrowing comradery and creativity in our community. Despite what craziness is going about in our world. we are in this together and support eachother and be happy.

Greetings everyone, And happy late new years, Its Fido Artz here. And this is a little update encase you guys are wondering where I have been all this month and when there is going to be 2017 art piece and other projects? To me January was kind of a winter hibernation month for me.

Well for starters, on the first week of January I came down with a cold, which is pretty common for this time of year, and I pretty much tried to recover and get well from it that entire week.

Around a certain day, I recorded my first vlog for my youtube feeling a little better, before my cold returned again. Despite how it was my first attempt of vlogging showing my face and hearing my voice for the first time. I glad some of you enjoyed it. I do plan to do more vlogs sometimes and even make semi-animated videos (similar to scribble kibble) of me talking about topics, updates, collabs, and announcements on what comes to mind for the channel. If you haven't yet, Check out my youtube channel where I will be posting future vlogs, animations, speed draws and arts, and other videos.

Also, I have started my next class in college last week, Its another online class, but its pertaining towards traditional arts. Where I will I be sent Materials to work with for this said class. After successfully completing my digital art online class on the fall semester, i figure Art 101 this year and semester would be my next course on my stepping stones towards getting my degree in studio arts. mostly to learn more about traditional art and its history. At least and learn more art traits along the way. I honestly had no idea there would be a Online class on this subject. which is very convenient and a unique concept to learn traditional arts over the web while working on projects with materials pertaining to the lessons at hand. I am as good with traditional art skills as i am with my digital art skills. But, is willing to learn more from this class. and i hope i do well.

As for my very first 2017 art piece, its still in the making and may be out for next month. It will feature most of my artwork of 2016 and my friends I have made around that year. So be on the look out for that. I am also still trying to figure out what this year message will be too. So far I am thinking “Wake up, 2017 we are here” which will feature a positive speech towards another crazy year we will most likely overcome what is going on to continue to do what we all love to do as creators.

Alot of things will be planned in 2017, and I will make happen. With 3 big projects around my belt and other fun little tidbits in the work. I think we can continue to show a evergrowing comradery and creativity in our community. Despite what craziness is going about in our world.

Heres towards making 2017 a better year. And as always until next update, This is Fido Artz, have a blessed good day and stay artzy ^^

Greetings everyone, this is Fido Artz

For the first time ever, i do a vlog via webcam to tell you guys of all the current events that has happen with me. Keep in mind i tend to stutter at times, can have certain audio and cut in problems in certain parts, and i had to write my thoughts out on a text file as a script to read mainly because i do not remember what i write down by heart. So you can tell was more focused on reading rather then pay attention to the camera. Anyways i hope you enjoy my honestly amateur attempt at vlogging. And Happy New Years everyone ^^



Hope you guys enjoy, constructive criticisms are welcome.

Greetings everyone, Its Fido Arts and i have been extremely quiet last month, but i will do my best to catch you up on last month.

if some of you knew, the 29th of September was my Birthday and i have officially turned 22. And i have been both busy and quiet about it, and sadly had no spare time to create a art piece announcing it or post pictures. i am sorry, guys. But, with how strict i take my online college class of digital imaging. things are going to be slow. But overall i like to thank all of you so much for your birthday wishes they mean a lot to me. if some of you were late to wish me a happy birthday and such. Its okay you are fine, i know DA has a notification glitch that needs to be fixed. And that most of you are busy as i am.

And on top of that my mother and i finally got the new house and moving will be 2 weeks away, so that means i will be packing things and cleaning out my old house for the rest of this starting week of Octoonber. selling items, throwing away items that is no use to anyone, and its going to be a long transitioning phrase i am going to work with to balance both moving and college together. i will keep in touch with you guys on my 4g mobile phone when the wifi and everything is moved to the new house. You can keep track of me socially on Google+, or chat with me on Skype, Telegram, or the chats or notes system if you guys want to check up on me and my situation. So yeah pretty much it here.

Now for the big announcement for this Octoonber, on the 29th i will be going to my very first expo convention this year, That's right. i will be a going to Stan Lee's L.A Comic Con (formally known as stan lee's comikaze) my mother, and one of our friends and i have ordered tickets for the 2nd day of the convention and are going to experience what makes these cons so exciting to go to. and i hope to record videos and take pictures as i visit the convention. If you guys are going to the convention too and see someone sporting a fedora hat and a custom made shirt with the FidoARTZ logo. that will be me. there are also possibility of making a vlog of the convention too. we will see.

So wish me luck, guys. its going to be a interesting month, Until we meet again, I am Fido Artz, have a blessed good day and stay artsy ^^

Greetings everyone, this Fido Artz, and i realized i have not did an August update journal and the said month is almost over, So its time for another catch up update for what been has going about in August.

During August 18th i was hanging out with one of my friends at home. we had a interesting morning, A puppy wandered in my yard and into my house. we at first thought it was angel. but then we looked at the dog and notice she was the same size as her but had slightly different fur. we later found out her Her name is lucky. and She wandered through my backyard via hole in the neighbors fence She was a outsider to my other dogs so she can be a bit timid at first but then moments later she calm down and lay down beside me on the couch as I pet her softly. my friend and I notice a collar on her. Lucky seems to go to the same vet Thomas and Angel went. She also has a tracking number on it. We call the vet to track down the number for Lucky's owner. My friend then call the original owner and then drove Lucky over there to reunite lucky to her owner. I kind of miss her :)

In town recently the sky and atmosphere has been foggy and smokey due to the rampaging wildfires that has been happening outside of my home town, near Kern river, Kern county, and Lake Isabella. they said the catch the person responsible but the fire fighters still continues to fight off to contain the wildfires.

on August 22, I have started my Fall 2016 semester to take digital imaging. i got the 2 books i need and also got a 1 year prepaid annual subscription with student discount to Adobes creative cloud so i get access to a lot of cool programs like Adobe Photoshop CC, aftereffects, animate, premiere pro, dreamweaver, illustrator, a whole lot. But i have them for a year so they are gonna be college class focused stuff. Also i doubt i would replace programs like GIMP, Firealpaca, or Sony Vegas with the very best premium programs. Personally the one trouble i have with the recent Adobe programs is if you don't have a license or subscription for these programs any more. your pretty much out of luck and shut out of those programs completely until you can shell out some more money to renew. they also do that with animation programs like Toonboom and ToonBoom Harmony but you can pay for a permanent license in order to keep the program forever. Adore on the other hand nope, not at all. you got to pay for a monthly or a yearly fee to keep er going. with that ramble aside, i have been doing good so far in class. who knows, i might post my college work here.

Now whats recently big in my life is that me and my mom am going to be getting a new house, not as a rental but as a permanent purchase. its still in limbo phase, so its going to be a while til we get to moving in, which will be a few months or so. and i am kind of excited yet shocked at the same time. Shocked because i am sure its going to be another scalding-ly long transition phase since my last move from Commercial Ave in 2014. excited because now i can have a big room with a place to setup my studio and work area properly. my room in the house i am in right now is small compared to the one in my new house and not really much to setup my microphone for voice acting or have a proper studio setup. So i really look forward to my new house with many new plans and opportunities. its still gonna be in my hometown of Ridgecrest, in California. so nothing to drastic.

Next and last but not least, Art and production update, So far i have been hammering away on the concept of the RollerBlitz League. so far i have the track and the games scoring format worked out, currently working on team logos for a couple of teams and draft key star-players for the teams. not to mention a unique scoreboard to keep track of team points, game quarters,game clock, laps, and tackle limits for each teams. So RBL has been a even more big focus like my other series like MUTTS & CLAWZ. Once i have the concepts in place. i might create the game. so far i am pointed to use Unity. and i am still debating on what format i should make this game. 3d or 2d? i am still debating that. also i thought about still doing the artist vs art thing. i think i got some good art pieces to work with there and i also thought about doing a vlog where i talk about stuff like the updates and such on camera. but have to schedule it. i don't think it will replace updates journals fully i just love writing those its just something i think about trying out.

Anyways, thank you guys for reading this update, if you like to talk about the updates of this journal or other topics, go ahead i am open to it, until next journal as always, I am Fido Artz have a blessed good day and stay artzy ^^

Greetings everyone, This is Fido Artz, I hope you are all been having a good summer creating art, hanging out friends, and such fun activities. Mine's was a okay summer. looking back at it recently, i have done very little art this summer. so it was in term a slow hiatus. i'd love to do so much but when you deal with life stuff, distractions, and the blazing hot heat draining your energy. it can be a burden. So that what i have been dealing with for two months and usually writing update journals on life updates, art updates, is what i have been doing in the summer to tell you guys how i have been doing and whats my projects, my college classes, everything that is important that i should tell you about. and to think summer would be having more time to draw artwork, write literature's, and even animate.

i really miss doing animations because it was cool to animate characters from your artwork and think about making a animated cartoon out of your characters you created but that concept alone takes days to work on opposite to artwork and short animation which takes hours to work on. another thing i really miss doing also is writing my thoughts on desired topics. these is where is show my true thoughts, When it comes to writing your thoughts on subjects in literature. You got to be honest to yourself and give your thoughts properly and maturely. Even if certain people disagree with you. its okay. in fact, most my friends and family tell me i would be a good motivational speaker. i get this response when I wrote speeches or my thoughts in my literature and journals.

in the future, i'd like to make speeches and my thoughts on topics as separate literature's instead of journals so everyone including you guys can read them. While i simply make life and art updates a journal thing.

i will be back on schedule this August to create more content while starting my online digital imaging class on the 22 of the said coming month. Also don't forget, If most of you want to keep in touch with me. i have a Google+,tumblr, and Youtube for animations and vlogs, if you want to chat with me directly kindly ask me for my skype and telegram.

Thanks for reading, and i hope you all had a great summer and i am open to your summer stories if you feel like sharing in the comments below. and as always until next journal update in the middle of August, I'm Fido Artz, have a blessed good day and stay artzy. Later ^^

Well hello guys, I am back. and it was a good vacation. despite a few incidents and the scorching humidity. We stayed at the Falling Waters River Resort. we attempted rafting with inflatable tubing rafts, which was fun but ended up slightly painful for half of us. mostly my raft is latched on to my nephews raft, the currents of the river brought us on a few rocky paths that resulted me taking some in my rear and spine. yeesh and ouch, Not much of river bearing person. my mother was not having much fun either with rafting. So at a midway point, we all got off the river and walked all the way back to the resort. The resort had a lot of cool themed cabin such as a knight one, a sea one. and many other ones. The one we chosen which was the one available to us which was a typical cabin theme with a mounted to the deer trophy near the fireplace and even a mounted faux bear rug also mounted to the wall near the right bed complete with a skylight window. i slept in the left bed while my nephew slept on the couch and my mother and her friend slept in the right bed together.

Next morning, we had breakfast then packup and check out of the resort, another thing we saw a little deer right near our cabin which was amazing sight to see. later, we went to my mother's friend's fishing spot which is a near the edison hydroelectric power plant, which the river near it is open to the public for rafting and fishing. Didn't caught anything. the poles are not what i'm used to fishing with. im more of a left handed person a couple of the fishing pole's handling's were on the right the reeling mechanics were difficult to work at times but i am getting the hang of it. Hours later, we were parched and done fishing, we hit the road once more and stoking up on cold soft drinks, visiting the onyx store, and then went back to thr road home to Ridgecrest. and here we are.

So it was a okay one day vacation overall. Despite hitting the rocks and getting a minor sunburn, I'm just glad that my nephew had a great time with this visit before he heads back on the plane to Kansas this Friday. also thanks to some of you wishing me and my relatives a good time and safe trip.

I am gonna settle for a bit before going back to drawing as soon as can. Thank you guys for reading, and as always, my name is Fido Artz have a blessed good day and stay artzy. later ^^

Greetings all and Happy 4th of july everyone, from me FidoArtz ^^

And yes, I know that is a old animation i did. But never the less it fits the special occasion, So i have not been posting content a lot as often as i thought. however, i have been busy sketching my art in sketchbook and busy organizing my room and the house. So pretty much, i have been too busy to put out content because i have been busy on the content between the spare time i have.

Also, crazy hectic things have been happening on my side with not only the excessive heat in California that really hot and energy draining, but also a rare and painful abscess in my gums and a factor V which is when my blood clots when i'm not active which is what found out from my doctor last month, these two things are not much of a high risk or live threaten for that matter if you guys think that. So don't worry about me on these topics i have been going to the gym maintaining health and i'm using aspirin that would thin my blood to prevent Clots. as for the abscess i have oral medicine and remedies for that too i have been taking that for 2 days now and does occasionally sting at times.

Lastly, i have 2 big pet projects for a web cartoon and a video game as a focus. and so far i have been juggling both these projects in my sketch book. with a poster for the series MUTTS and CLAWZ, and a couple of RollerBlitz concept sketches planned after the said poster. standalone fillers, artwork, and Animations are also planned between these projects i have been working on for like a few years now. and my college Fall 2016 class have been setup and tomorrow i have to head over to the college to sign a commendation letter for my 2 books. the class is gonna be Digital imaging which is a online photoshop class. since i feel confident after passing my how to be a successful online student with a successful glade. i am going to try out this class and do my best.

So guys, thank you for reading this and having patients with my future projects and also understanding my situations i'm going through. Feel like giving your thoughts on this and other topics i am open to it and until next time as always, I'm Fido Artz have blessed,safe, and fun 4th of July and stay artzy. Later ^^

Greetings all and hello, Its Fido Artz with a summer update, or june update, I know its kind of in the middle of the road in this month, but thats justified. its because i was waiting for the grading of all my assignments i have done for my Becoming A Successful Online Student Class, to be finished so i can look at my final grade. and well, i overall got a A with 98.13 %. Which just goes to show once again, if you focus all your efforts on whats important and reduce other activities, you will succeed on whats truly important and then you can get back to the activities you love doing later. its that one quote "work comes first, play time is earned."

So i have not only passed counselling 101 in the spring semester, but i also successfully passed my Becoming A Successful Online Student Class this summer. Now i am more confident to try some online classes again during my 2016 fall semester down the path.

Now that my summer semester is over. things have been going great, hopefully i will do alot of projects often this month and next month, and get back to creating artwork. i also had future plans to make RollerBlitz as a video game. So far, i am currently deciding what style it should be like 2d or 3d, and finding a game maker that is accessible and easy to work with. I would also write a rulebook for the fictional game to give a clear overhead how its played.

Got anything you planning to do this summer? i am open to your thoughts on these and other topic, until next update as always. My names Fido Artz, have a blessed good summer and stay artzy. Later ^^

end of may recap catch up update
Greetings everyone, its Fido Artz here. and this month has been very, very, very, full of events, that it is a must that i tell you most of them.

so last week, i watched Captain America: Civil War movie with my old friends from high school. it was an good movie with very neat battle scenes. the story line is connected to both the avengers and the winter soldier arcs and will not make sense unless you have or must watch the other movies to connect the puzzle pieces together. its loosely based on the Marvel Civil War comic series where heroes are divided over a super hero registration act and spark a superhero war against each other, with iron man leading the PRO registration force against Captain america heading the ANTI registration force. the movie kind threw a curve from a couple of certain elements because of how focused the story line is on the winter soldier, Bucky. and mostly both sides roster was small mainly because these characters were introduced in the cinematic universe of marvel. that is understandable. also its great to introduce Black Panther. and also great bringing back Spider-Man to be in the marvel cinematic universe after being owned by Sony all those years since 2002. overall still a good little movie.

and during that weekend, i was Baptized at church. the water was warm but getting out it was very cold and breezy. but i felt embraced and proud on that day to take a plunge with grace and live with it.

This week, my summer class is underway which is being a successful Online Class. which is a 3 week class. that i feel i must take this class to be a more confident and successful online student when i take future online classes this fall. which would be to apply myself to assignments i get each week in my online class,not get overwhelmed or wait til the last minute,reduce other activities,and just get them done. so far, the first week went good with a decent performance. i have two weeks to go. so wish me best of luck that i will succeed like i did my counselling, i will remember what i said in my previous journal.

My latest big art piece RollerBlitz took alot of days to work on. for example, i started the sketch of the roller arena last month but never got around to working on it due to how busy my college assignments were, then digitally worked on it after passing Counselling on May 11, took 4-5 days to digitally outline, draw and paint that picture from the sketch. and then here we go on may 19th it was finished, polished and uploaded. it was inspired by my recent love of the classic roller derby craze,the entertaining rollergames and rollerjam, and the cinematic 70s masterpiece known as RollerBall, all combined together to be a 4-way 15 players per team co-ed full contact capture the flag style rugby match on wheels with motorbikes. and now for some reason i want a video game made out that x3

Anyways, thanks guys for reading. i'am open to your thoughts on these and other topics. until next update this summer, I am Fido Artz, have a blessed good day and stay artzy. Later ^^
