Alright, aside from the spontaneous gifts and ideas that are bound to pop up, I've two projects I've in the works:

First and foremost, I'm starting my "comic" finally. I put that in quotations because it in reality isn't going to start in comic form. Since the majority of my cast hasn't even been drawn once, I don't want to atempt doing the actual comic. But, it's killing me that I've got a story to tell and I can't. Plus, I hate posting pictures of characters that I'm excited about because I've an epic behind them in my mind, but you've nothing and can't really care too much about them (which is logical, I don't blame you at all). SO, my thought is that if I at least have 1 storyline done, now you have a basis to be interested and excited to see them, and I've gotten a chance to brainstorm concepts with them in action rather than just standing there.
So therefore, this first chapter in the story will be mostly literature with pictures embeded regularly to give you a visual of settings, characters, and choice events. Sort've like a picture book, only instead of one big picture for a page of text, it's like a large comic panel for every 1 or two paragraphs.
I've already started it, hopefully by the end of this week there'll be a posting! I've decided that instead of having a set deadline when I'll regularly release a page each week/month I'll post as soon as I have a complete segment of plot finished. Meaning I won't cut it off and post a page even though it's in the middle of a conversation or encounter that was interesting, you'll get an entire hunk of story you're satisfied with reading and waiting for the next bit regardless its size. Only trade-off is it's irregular.

The other project is the first in 2 series of digital paintings I'm gonna try entitled "E.P.I.C." standing for "Erratic Painting, Intermidiate Clarity". The style will be similar to these [link] [link] only without lineart and a little rougher. The idea is for me to draw large scenes with captivating action or some other grand visual without having to stress over the details. So it'll be huge, but slightly abstract. In otherwords, "epic"
The 2nd series I'll do after a bunch of those will be "B.R.U.T.A.L." standing for "Brilliantly Rendered Underlying Textures And Lighting". Basically the attention will be on those small details I left out before, creating a sharp and hopefully near photo-realistic painting that focuses on materials (inspired by `adonihs [link] [link] [link]). This will consist of close shots of characters with little background, possibly even dark or overly dramatic lighting leaving me to focus on a single subject.

Hopefully putting myself through the ringer with both of those series I'll improve greatly as an artist and be able to apply both concepts to make digital images both huge and epic while still maintaining all the little details. Which of course results in pure awesome and win


And that's a wrap for this journal dump. Apologies and thanks to your eyes and brain for enduring it. I appreciate you all for watching and caring.
