I'm BAAAAACCCKKKK. Though i'm sure i didn't really tell anyone that i was leaving... So... I'M HERE!
I went to Wales for a week with my mum, dad, and older brother. Twas awesome! I just spent the whole time chilling. Was so nice to just be able to lounge around, and not have to worry about going to work or doing homework. I've recently got into crime novels (as in... i've read a couple, haha) so i did a bit of reading while i was there.
I'm designing the main characters for a mini-manga i'm creating... based on the Aesopps fable "The Hare and The Tortoise." As you can guess, the characters are... the Hare and the Tortoise.
They're human representations of these characters, so it's fun for me. ^_^
And... get this... i'm doing it as COURSEWORK. So i get to draw manga, and get a grade for it. Also, it's more of an incentive to actually get it finished. (well... i'll HAVE to, if i want a good grade)
I'll hopefully upload some of the concept stuff. They're pretty much all pencil work at the minute. Over the summer holidays, i'm gonna have to fully design the characters, script the story, and create some storyboards from watercolours.

SO woo. I'm only planning about 20 pages though. So nothing too big. Just a nice lil story. XD
Also, on the subject of my personal work, my eternal tale animation got some pretty good reviews on Newgrounds.

I got a daily third place, which isn't bad at all considering that it's my first animation. People seem to want me to make it into a flash series, which, to be honest i would LOVE to do. It's just a matter of time... which i don't have a lot of, unfortunately. Despite having seven weeks off school, i still have novels to read for English Literature, all of the concept work for the "Hare and the Tortoise" manga, as well a a prettymuch full-time job. SO it's not gonna happen anytime soon. Although it is my dream to have a decent flash series.
I've also made an important decision regarding my education. After i've earned my A levels at my sixth form, i'm planning to go on a foundation art course. Hopefully, this'll increase my chances of recognition on university courses, and hopefully, when finding a job.
Also, i have the opportunity to get some work experience in a proper professional animation company. My aunt manages a hair dressers, and one of her clients has put me in touch with a company called "character shop"

Thats all for now. Have a nice day folks, and thanks for reading.
