Merry Yule to all who read my journals and/ or watch me.
Today is the day one should reflect on the past twelve months and relinquish yourself of all regrets and bad energies. Today is also the day you should make some wishes for the next year to help make it the best year you have had so far.
Also, my love goes out to all who have lost someone over the past year, whether it is pets, family or friends, and whether they have passed or just moved far away.

My wishes for next year: To become a better artist and a better, more wholesome person.
People who I will miss: Lucy and Kate. You will never know how much I miss you. Never.

OK, not so important first. I'm doing some art.

Important: WE HAVE A KITTEN. We named him Siegfried (This idea came from a mixture between Soul Calibur's legendary hunk and the Mythological dragon- slayer as depicted by Wagner). Hie black and bouncy. And he will be spoiled terribly

That's about it for me, hawdehaw!

..I need to start setting specific goals for myself, so I really know where I'm heading.
For those of you who suffer the same sort of problem, perhaps it's a good idea to do a journal like mine- writing it down can help keep your mind fresh.

What are my main talents: Drawing, talking, coming up with ideas.
Am I developing these talents: Yes, I'm at uni drawing, giving presentations, and coming up with ideas for new games and concepts.
Where do I see myself in 5 years time: Still improving, but I will be at a professional standard, hopefully working in 2D art, and hopefully designing games.
What I need to do to keep improving: Develop skills around these areas (such as Japanese language, Actionscript 3 coding) so I have something to fall back on, but mainly concentrate on developing my art.
My goals for the next 5 years: Learn to speak Japanese, if not to read it yet (this helps with communicating with gaming genii such as Shigsy <3), to script fully in Actionscript to make awesome games, and to developed a unique, professional style of art.

Of course, if this is only really going to be a realistic goal if people help me. I need support. So if I put art up, I want you guys to crit it.

I realise that we live in a pretty selfish world nowadays, and that everyone wants stuff but they never want to give back, but I want to change this. It won't take a second to give some good advice to some of my weaker pieces in my gallery, and encourage (but still offer criticism) me on my stronger pictures.

Think about what YOU want to do with your life, and how you have effectively achieve your realistic goals.

Let me know if you find the correct spelling for that word.



OR*, a little update. Bear with me, this could be rather interesting, especially if you actually like my art.
If you haven't been reading the boring comments on my work, you will not know that I have purchased a top- notch graphics tablet, a Wacom Intuos4. It is sexy. I'm sure my art will improve with this tablet (in fact I think it has already, possibly? Your call, really), and I think my updated 'Avril and Coconut' sorta shows that.
If you don't believe me, wait a few weeks for my fantabulous Halloween picture, which is currently in a sort of scruffy line- art stage. I'm still having a problem with hands (as are most budding artists. Yeah, I'm budding. :3), but again, I think I am improving. Criticism is always appreciated on all of my work.
Er, I am reading a book currently, all about Actionscript 3.0 for games. I orgasmed when I saw this book on Amazon, and I don't regret buying for an instance- it's amazing.
So, on that note, expect to see a few games pop up here and there.

Also, I'm sticking up concept art for my uni work. Comments aren't necessary for this work, but it's always nice to have feedback.
Oh, and please don't steal it. You will get bollocked by my university if you do, since it belongs to them as it's part of my course, yadda yadda.

I bought Smash Bros. Brawl a few days ago and don't regret it like I thought I would. Not as good as Melee, but I like playing as Dedede.
On that subject I also bought a Kirby game for the DS, which is epic.

Er, I have learned soooo many new tricks on my poi (did I eve tell you guys I got some poi?! I've had them for about two weeks, in case you didn't know), including the overhead butterfly and thread the needle. Youtube them if you like

Ok, I think that's enough of an update... Oh, Nequisan is nearly 'Hallowed' in Wow, and said character also dinged all the way to 55. I've been playing her for about a month, so not bad progress really. :]

The only thing I really have to complain about is the nasty stinky cold I have right now. At least I bought myself a nice warm jumper to wear on days like these


_{*This is actually the correct spelling of the popular term 'OK'. You learn something new every day....}

So I dunno if you guys know, but I'm really sensitive to energies, and if there's bad energies around, I really don't like it.

Well, take for instance a person whom I spoke to just the other day about a possible accidental art theft- but not crediting the people to whom the art truly belongs.

I expressed my concern in an orderly, polite manner, and still got blocked and shouted at by this poor excuse for a being, and as such I can no longer express my anger and confusion in any other way but a journal, in hope that they might read it.

Assumptions (for example the assumption that I am deliberately trying to screw up someones life) leads to bad things. It is a Mulengro, a bad energy, something that a person must never be subject to.

I hope in time everyone will realise this and make their lives better by not assuming that my actions are for selfish and spiteful reasons, and that I make it my life's goal to in fact do the opposite.

Enjoy your day.
