Well, I figured I could do with tying up some loose ends so I could see which way I can take things. The first thing that needs tying up is the comic idea I had. I haven't forgotten about it, but with work taking up most of my week and being tired just a bit too much of the time drawing a comic isn't going to happen. So, I'm going to focus on something else to draw. I'll get to that a bit further on.

The second loose end. The learning list. This is going to take a step back. I don't draw as much as I did before getting a job, so I need to take this step back to basics. So I'm going to be using a pencil and paper more often. There's a few things I'd like to work out how to draw before a lot of stuff on that list.

The last loose end is me just doing nothing. This is due in large part, because I am tired after work, but I want to enjoy my evenings. Being creative is not great fun when you're tired. So I need to find time to draw when I'm not so tired. That means before 9pm on a work night and during the weekend days. So if any of you see me online on skype or a forum or something, somehow..., feel free to TELL me to go draw something. I won't bite or bark. The worst you'll get is a lengthy explanation of why I can't/won't draw something then. Otherwise I'll go draw something.

So, now the ends are tied up, what am I going to do with them. Well, they all point at draw something. Something from the basics. Something that I want to get done that I can get done. Something that is missing. That something is.....

my fursona.

If you haven't noticed my 'sona has one picture. That picture is not a good one. I was happy when I made it, but now I'm looking at it and thinking I could have done better. However, I did learn a few things doing that draw. So, back to a pencil and paper for my 'sona.

So, I've been tagged by  FurrhanBlackwood to do this 'thing' (for lack of want of a better word).
Here goes;

Name: Hiat

Birthday: 24/11/1992

Zodiac: Sagiterius? Never really paid attention to it, but hey it's hard to get through school without finding out somehow.

Siblings: I have one older brother and one...Twin Brother! dun dun daaaaa!

Favourite colour: Dark Green

Pet or master: Lets see, I'm a dog in a tree. My Tree. So no I am not a 'pet', I am the master of my own tree.

Love or Lust: You know that wonderful phrase 'coming out of the closet'? Well, I never bothered to go into the closet.

Favourite drink: TEA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Specifically Earl Grey, especially made by Twinnings.

Favourite alcoholic drink: Spiced Rum!!!!!!!!!!!!

Favourite food: Now this is a tricky one. I would have to say pasta though.

Text or call: As much as a call is usually quicker, a text provides a written copy, so text ftw.

Celebrities I've met: I'm not sure the people I've met count as celebrities.

Favourite body part: TAIL!!!!!!!!!!!! :3

Light or dark hair: Dark

Intelligence or attraction: I've not really noticed that latter, so the former.

Last song I heard: I tend to listen to music by albums so have the last album I listened to; The Color Before The Sun by Coheed and Cambria (Explicit Language Warning!)
Honestly the language usage is not that bad, it's just there.

Think of something funny: Space poop, because the law of diminishing returns does not apply to space poop.

Tag some people:
ummmm, most of everyone I have any reasonable amount of contact with has been tagged already, soooo, unexpected tagging away!

As the title suggests, I'm going to try to start a comic. Don't expect anything amazing. It's more for me to play around with story ideas and to give me more reasons to draw stuff rather then not practice drawing. So, if I haven't posted something in the comments below stating progress or something, please feel free to ask me about this comic idea, it'll remind me to do something.

So in 7 days time, if there isn't an update to this, please tell me to do something.

As for the comic, I was planning on having the first strip by the end of the month. This was before I got a job, so I'm adding an extra month to it. So, the aim is to get a strip before the new year. So far, I've got an overall idea of what I'd like to do with the plot lines and how to start it off. What I need to work on are the starting characters.

Hopefully by the end of this week, I'll have one ref sheet done.

Well, I've now been to my first ever convention, I've enjoyed myself and I got to see some people in fursuits as well as many other costumes. And a lot of storm troopers. So now I want to save up some money so I get get my own, because they looked amazing in person.

Here's list of things that I'm trying to learn to do for my art. This should give you an idea of the stuff I'm working on and what sort of stuff you can expect to see soon.

1) Shading; I can do some shading but it's not the greatest and I know I can improve it. I just need to find out how.

2) Krita; Still trying to figure out this art program. I can use it, but not much better then I can use My Paint.

3) Poses; I need to work on some better poses.

4) Investigate lighting effects.

So, you can expect to see some random poses, messy colouring and dodgy shading for a while.
You can also expect a handful of foxes too. This will change in time.
