As most know, or have caught on I am a dhole now (Pronounced: dole) But have also made another recent change and that is frequently playing him as a large were dhole~ So uhmm thats all, enjoy?

Please dhole responsibly

I also need to get my butt back to taking pictures again. Gotta do a little bit of repair on my camera as I dropped it. Joy X.x nothing to bad it seems pretty easy fix. I have some Ideas for the area, just need to get motivate on these days I get off here and there, and get out to do some shoots. Have a lot of turbines around me that I think could make for some fun shots.

Okay journal spam is off... for now. Will post more as I see fit in the future.

Things are going great! I can finally get myself things I need/want (Slowing down on the wants. lol) Looking at buying a house and getting even more of my life straightened out, no longer living check to check. New job is fantastic and I am killing it. Looking forward to continue with this company and possibly even move up through the company!

So I got myself a new device, and I can probably use it to try digital art. A certain Kelpy (Love you Skippy~) has been nudging me to try and get me back into art. So gonna try and give it an honest try and see what happens. Don't expect anything spectacular. Never really tried digital art except for a small handful of times.

Well I got the job I applied for, I will be moving here soon and I am very excited! Also a bit terrified too!

So would anyone care to suggest some books for me to read?

This character will be for fun and hopefully a focus for writing a couple short stories here and there as I have been telling myself I need to try writing. So here is just a basic character sheet.

NAME: Manus Gawe
Nickname: Mane
Meaning/History: Celtic Manx
Notes: Celtic naming came from his time of birth in September of 764 AD

PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION:
Gender: Male
Age: 1254 Years old
Age claimed: Late 20’s
Birthday: 19Sep0764 AD
Astrological sign: Virgo
Hair color: Black
Shape/style/length: Hair usually kept at a medium length and bundled behind his head as if it was a pony tail (Just not overly long. At times left a bit unkempt)
Eye color: Amber colored eyes, when eye socket is exposed from decay socket is filled with a green astral glow
Vision: Has keen vision, but as decay worsens depth perception can be affected or he will have blind spots
Fur Colors: Deep brown, black, gravel grey and beach sand brown
Marks (birthmarks, tattoos, scars): Mane’s body over all is covered in a deep brown color in general, under his chin, chest and stomach are the sand color while he has the black and gravel colored cape on his back that is often seen in black backed jackals. His right hand is often nothing more than a remnant of bone, tendon and some muscle as summoning his weapon often damages his body. During sever usage and decay the jackal often tends to have his skull half exposed and an eye missing. Most wounds he receives in this state heal roughly and leave gnarled scars over his body or deep scarred divets where flush and muscle had been peeled away.
Height: 6’3”
Weight: 215lbs
Build/Body shape: Mane is rather stocky and muscled when in full health and not decaying, obvious he spends most of his days as a warrior and specialized summoner.
Typical clothing: Depending on the era Mane will have his clothes match the more base style of that period. At times he doesn’t bother getting new clothing when they become tattered if he himself is in a state of decay.
Mannerisms: He is often blunt and somewhat cold to most, not in anger or hatred but preferring not to get others involved in the nature of his life and the toll it takes on himself and others. At times he will take on an apprentice teaching them different summoning arts, often the binding of weapons through magic or the summoning of a familiar to aid them in a time of need.
Weapon: Manus wields a fairly large hammer that’s head tapers on both sides into a rounded crushing wedge, the sides of which are intricately carved (To be decided on) The handle is a heavy red wood, with the lower portion where he grips it wrapped in weathered leather. He does not often carry the hammer as the longer it has been summoned the harder the toll on his life force becomes as well as the extent of decay he suffers. The hammer is powered by the energy and souls of those lost to time often manifesting as a astral green light or close around the hammer or following behind it. When he summons the hammer a loud crack sounds out that is near ear splitting, a blinding green flash occurs and anything a ring of decay affects the ground and air around him just about as far as his arms can reach. (Grass, insects and other creatures in this radius will wilt or suffer decaying damage.)

I have been thinking about making myself a suit off a resin base lately. But am at a loss of what sort of character I want to make. I want it to be a partial just for ease of transporting about. Just cant decide if I want one that is a current character of mine or to make an entirely new one.

I have had a lot going on in life lately. Most has all been good, but on Monday I have an interview that could take my career in a whole new direction. I have basically been doing research the last 6 or so years but am going to try branching off into teaching! So nervous and excited all at once!

I've been looking to travel more, and actually make it to some closer cons to me. Also really tempted to get myself a partial of my jackal. Having a hard time deciding on the style of the jackal I want. Cant decide if I want one that is more toony or realistic. Am planning on making my own outfits for it.

Never really seemed to be able to recover my last account, so I am back. so lets get this rolling again!
