I don't see myself touching up or adding to this any time in the near future, and if I do, I'd probably want to restart it instead. :V So! Posting current animation progress:

Done in EasyToon, drawn using a tablet. 367 total frames, moves at a rate of 10 frames/second.

Who knows! Maybe I'll actually finish a rough animation to show off my stories one day! But this winter break ain't when.

So much pent-up stress so have a pic ugh UGH UGH
( That doesn't matter for right now. )

Love the chorus in this song.

Imma use the music rooms tomorrow to practice for my singing class! There's a piano there! EXCITIIIING! Except I chose the dumbest song because it's classical and hard to sing all because it was free. Meow.

.....And then after I will homework my rump off! Because HOLY CRAP this is going to be a rough semester. What was considered the final project from last semester is now considered a petty homework assignment, and due soon! So I'm going to be really busy. Milking this week for all it's worth, and then it's see you on the flipside!

( Art dumps )

School is so tiring. And traffic is really awful to drive through!

Attempted to quasi-realify my characters. \o/ Also Altair. Altair is cool.
( I dare you to look. )

Right before I took a nap, I started planning the BotL battle system. Then I dreamed it in action. It's like FFT crossed with the FF ATB system. It's weird. But it looks fun! But holy crap, the AI is going to be SO HARD to code. Time + Placement + "fast enough at making decisions to be challenging" + "please don't eat up the player's RAM" = OHGOD. W-well, the RAM part would be because there'd be too many things to keep track of, including the player's characters... It'd either be totally laggy or computer crashy. None of which is cool.

Yeah. Anyway.
Have a slightly relevant plug.
Love and physics and rotation. Proceed with caution.

The text took like four times longer to write than the picture. D|

Reading "Hark! A Vagrant" and this awesome bunch made me reread The Great Gatsby, which I've just finished. I love and hate that book all at once. On the one hand, it's beautifully written and expresses its characters and weaves in its metaphors so well, and on the other, the characters are absolute jerks and are so emotionally driven and frivolous it ticks me off...though I'm led to believe that's half the point. Beaton sums it up quite nicely! ...Nick and Gatsby should've gotten together instead or something. 8I;;;; Aaaaanyway.

( Have a cloud of quickies and an indecipherable cloud of words describing each )

Sometimes I think I can feel like crap on request at the drop of a hat. I'm awfully good at it. :|b

The story and character roles for the Counterpoint still needs loooots of tweaking (and having my sister setting her characters down a bit more, which I think involves waiting for them to age and grow), but it's a project I have no plans on dropping. A good chunk of the reason why I'm attempting to join the engineering department. So have them and a bunch of words. No two characters (minus Mr. DID Isaac with the equilibrium sign) are the same here.

( 1936 brouhaha!!! )

I can only manage dumps right now. UGH, creativity, wherefore art thou not here?

WHAT ARE THESE SOCIAL CUES.

I'm so awkward it's amazing I ever lived this long. 8I Where did the people who actually find me funny go?! I'm so docile and derpy it's grooossss. It doesn't help that they're all pro and working and PROPER ADULTS omg.

I know the Artist Alley salesman-y extraverted-ish me is in me somewhere!!! Yeah. Somewhere. I. I don't even. ANYWAY. Sawed away on the violin and banged (not really) on the piano to vent somehow. Yarr.

( Dale says hi! )

I am blocking terribly, and Isaac totally doesn't fit my mood, but I haven't updated DT in awhile because I wasn't sure what character to add next. My sis requested Isaac since I'm gonna have to get him down right for Counterpoint.

I probably won't leave him in DT for too long (about as long as Nephelium probably) since he's not completely down yet. But here's three of Isaac's many personalities and one unhappy Dusk. I'll find a different sidekick for Dusk later.

( heads because I can't and I'm too lazy to thumbnail today )
( EDIT I need to rid myself of undue nervousness )

I think I'm ACTUALLY nervous for that exam and/or getting my paper back! My hands won't move right.
