Wow, it's been forever since I've written a blog entry. Or posted artwork aside from the webcomic. Or even posted a comic, actually.


Artwork

I've been seeing some of those "2011 Art Summary" things popping up recently, where people showcase a drawing they did for every month of 2011. I wanted to join in, which brought to my attention that I haven't been drawing much this past year, with only five pieces done during the whole year (not counting comics, which are all purely vector-drawn/edited at this point). I largely blame this on the fact that I got a gaming laptop late last year, coupled with an abundance of sales on Steam that I took part in across the year. Joining Netflix this summer didn't help a whole lot either. College has always kept me busy of course, but Steam and Netflix have taken away a good chunk of the free time I once used for drawing and writing :I

While I don't usually take part in New Year's resolutions, this year I'm going to aim to at least do a sketch each month, and work on writing at least once a month. After all, that's part of what I'd originally intended by updating my comics every other week instead of weekly, so that I'd have room to work on other art during those off weeks.

On that note, I've started writing again recently, albeit a fan-fic. Haven't written fan fiction since my very first piece of creative writing that originally spurred my series of novels. Whenever the new fan-fic is ready, I'll likely post it on dA.

Oh, and I'll continue the webcomic later this month; forgot to announce it on Twitter as I usually do (never mind, just did), but the comic is on a short hiatus during these last few weeks of my college's winter break. For some reason I feel more motivated to work on the comics when I'm away from home, maybe because I don't have family to hang out with while at campus, or because I feel more obligated to spend more time actually working on things when I'm surrounded by homework and studies.


TV / Anime

About all I keep up with on TV anymore is MLP Friendship Is Magic, The Office, Adventure Time, and Burn Notice (and to a lesser extent, Warehouse 13 and Eureka). Lately I've been getting into Doctor Who via Netflix, though I'm nowhere near caught up with recent episodes at this point (just started with the Eleventh). Also similarly been enjoying Futurama, though I'm even less so caught up with that series.

Haven't been keeping up with anime as much as I'd like during this past season or so, though I hope to remedy that soon. Still need to catch up on Ika Musume 2, Working 2, Shana 3, Haganai, and Hidan no Aria, and still need to start/try several more, including Idolmaster and Persona 4. Some good sequels coming up too that I'm definitely going to be watching, namely Amagami SS+ and Kore wa Zombie 2.


Video-Games

Almost done with Skyward Sword, and so far it's been awesome; it's easily the best LoZ story so far, and some of the best and most intuitive motion-control implementation I've experienced. Not much more I can say about it without throwing out spoilers. Also, I used to have a social life like you, but then I took Skyrim to the PC. My wood elf Harrowe (the H is silent) is currently level 36, if I recall correctly. Got that game during the big Steam sale, along with other games including Sonic Generations (which has been surprisingly decent), Bullet Storm, the Deus Ex Human Revolution DLCs, and a few other things.


That reminds me, I have some work to do, and by "work" I mean playing Skyrim and Skyward Sword, watching random shows, and occasionally working on an aforementioned piece of writing. Hopefully my inspiration to work on drawings will return once I'm back on campus. Have a great 2012!
