This isn't exactly some big Cloudflash update, but this site is pretty much a display of my creations, so I might as well show off this painting I made in a visible announcement. So, I was working on this since April and didn't finish it till June due to overtime at work and trying to keep it a secret from Felicia and stuff. It was pretty much done on the 11th with some very minor fixed on the 12th. It took approximately 31 hours to complete. I'm announcing this a little late since I had to let her be the first to see the final version, of course, and also since I was thinking to group this with some other announcement, but oh well.

You can also see my daily progress on the painting, reference picture, and high resolution photo by clicking here. I mostly just took one picture per day with my crappy cell phone, so some of them might not look too different. By the way, this is my lovely fiancee, of course.

I should really focus on redesigning Cloudflash and having a specific place for my art. Maybe someday!

I planned to finish a side project today, but for some reason I feel pretty drained. I remember a long time ago when I used to look forward to weekends and days off thinking about how I'd work on projects for 8 hours and get a lot done. I'm not quite having that feeling for the time being, though.

I decided I should get An Improved Society: RevenGe done before its hiatus goes on for anymore months. I mean, it's not a very complicated project; it definitely shouldn't have been waiting this long. I was thinking I'd completely finish it today, but didn't have it in me to do more than 4 pages. I'll try to at least get this done by the end of the month, though.

C-Mix and all the other things I should be working on are all on pause for now. I know I'm not giving much to look forward to here, but that's how it is! I worked many 10-12 hour days recently and still have to deal with life issues and such. I do want to complete my projects, but now just doesn't seem to be the right time for big ones.

Oh, and I finally updated the 2004-2012 to 2004-2013, so get off my back already!

So, I started working on some character creator thing.

I thought I should call it something more original than "character creator", so I called it ACE Character Designer! I find myself having a hard time designing characters for projects I intend to make, and I was also obsessed with getting new avatars and dressing up my character in DFO when it was alive, so this should be useful.

In other news, a few new emoticons a few days ago or something. Making the wheel spin is currently pending.
