Merry Christmas, Happy new year, and all that good stuff!
To be honest, I didn't realize that I would get so much attention from some of the art I've done this past year. Either I did something right or something so wrong it was unexpected, since controversy seems to be one of the best forms of publicity, if my sonic boom character what-ifs are any indication. 2014 was very much an up & down kind of year, mostly on the family side of things but really, theres only so much one can do to make people happy. Especially when they know only so much about art.
Self-advertizing, portfolio preparing, and now voice recording. So much to start on with so little time to do any of it on a professional basis, it becomes very discouraging when your family doesn't really get it most of the time. Working on Fiona Frightening and the Wicked Wardrobe with and the rest of our new little development family has been a joy to participate in so far, as its been the drive that makes me feel like I'm doing something actually productive thats noticeable, despite it being something we won't know how much its financially worth yet until later on. To me its something really big in many ways, considering how closely I've been working with our director, and how much he's allowing me to put my own influence into his creation.
Seriously I feel like I'm on the lines of an assistant art developer by now or something.
However, while my priorities are being focused on this soon-to-be marvellous indie-platformer, thats not to say my new years resolution was ignored. I promised myself to not only work as hard as my sanity would allow on Fiona Frightening, but to also FINALLY start doing more legit portfolio work on the side so that I may present myself to actual studios & companies in the industry down the line, mainly of my original content.
Because, not only am I going to make the effort to design a legit 2D animation reel as my big reveal of my original creation...
Seriously this will no doubt be my most productive year yet, and I can only hope it will be worth it in the long run. So once again Happy New years to all, God bless thee, and have a safe little holiday!

Figuring Things Out and Youtube Video Re-uploads
Looks like Eclipse took over, huh? Guess that'll be another thing I'll have to get used to now. Hey everyone, long time no message! Had to take a long break from social media of any sort for a while due to having a rough start to this now-difficult year, as well as trying to get stuff done behind the scenes. Which at the moment, has STILL been plaguing my efforts to create content on an actual regular pace. Honestly, the discouragement expressed in my latest sketch from a few months ago seems to represent a lasting weight that I haven't completely shake off yet. XP Nevertheless, new pieces are on the way, as I did some more staff content for Dr Crafty that will be shown soon. Along with some belated gifts for friends and personal works that I really want to finish & upload. In the meantime however, as a means of trying to expand in different areas, my most-recent personal projects involved more video editing work, as I decided to revise & repost the two videos I have over on my
Birthday Wishes and... Youtube?!
Many thanks for all the Birthday wishes folks! I certainly appreciate it this year, after the events that happened to me and my family mid August. Had the most amount of people gathered for the occasion for the first time in years, and I'm super grateful that my otherwise small family isn't as small as I thought it was.
But as the title for this journal may suggest, I have some important news to share:
Thats right viewers, my Palutena's Guidance What-if for Banjo & Kazooie if finally finished, and can now be watched on my newly-made Youtube page! Be sure to like, give feedback on how I can improve, and spread it around to sh
Not Dead! But Not Back Yet (update)
EDIT: 07/10/2019
Holy Moly talk about a busy bundle of months. Haven't been able to post anything worthwhile in a pretty long time, but hopefully that'll change once August rolls around. For the time being, if the title change hasn't made it obvious, I come bearing info that should explain where I've been, and what I have in store for this year:
Firstly, commissions will unfortunately be closed for a while longer, as I still need to update my commission chart with new prices. Believe me when I say that I do want to start making them again now with the newfound knowledge I've gained this year so far, as I can tell that a few of you want
Birthday Wishes? Ya' Shouldn't Have!
Apologies for the late response folks, but man - to all those who took the time to not only wish me the happiest of Birthdays, but also to the handful that made gift art for me this year, Many thanks to you all! The fact that people still come to see my drawings, concepts, and characters, despite me being admittedly sporadic with uploads and updates, gives me the drive I always need to continue making content. ^_^
Although speaking of content, something I've got going on behind the scenes that I can present to show my gratitude is this -
