It's been a long time since I've even used these journals and I'm trying to do it on a regular basis but...what on earth do I write about? I could talk about a bunch of things like tokusatsu, figures and shit but I do that already on twitter haha. Though with that said maybe I can use these journals as a place to talk about things more in depth, twitter's interface doesn't particularly support longer rants after all. What do you lot who still pay attention think? Would you be interested in hearing me rant about nonsense? Might even do the odd artist feature as well because I remember having a lot of fun typing those up.

So who's still jumping about this place?

I'm thinking of using this place a bit more in the future for posting, trying to keep my presence all over the place. But first got to do a bit of clean up and see if I can reconnect with anyone here.

First and foremost, RIP Iwata-san, such a wonderful person who was taking from this world far too early. It was a really sad start to the day.

But the mood did improve because I can officially now say that I have graduated from university. In contrast to the sad news of Iwata's passing it was a wonderful and very up lifting event, there was a band who opened up the event and we got some very nice speeches from the faculty, then it was time to go up, I was second to go up out of the whole uni, I'm so glad that my fellow course mate's name started with AL while mine was AR. I would have bricked myself if I was the first. After that though it was so nice seeing my friends and everyone go up on stage. 

It was definitely a nice way to cap off my university experience, especially as I've been in university for farrrr too long ever since starting my journey when I was just 18 going to DMU and just flubbing that up to coming to Westminster and finally making it through at 25. I regret none of it though, it may have taken me a bit longer than most but I feel like a better person coming out of it. Nothing can beat seeing my parents reactions to it though, I almost teared up haha.

So what am I going to do now? Of course I want to work in the animation industry so I'm going to be looking for jobs in that sector, atm I'm focusing on storyboarding so I'm building a portfolio and showreel to help support that.

So with all that said, until the next time I post in 2017!

Hope people are still around haha.

I've been dead as a dodo the past few months on here, production on my film really picked up and I spent a lot of time working on that, but now I have a lot of free time now as I've successfully completed the final year of my university course WOOOOO.

With that said even though I have free time the next few months are gonna be an interesting one, not sure what I have planned yet but I will start posting here more regularly...possibly get back to doing those eye catches, gosh can't believe it's already been four months since the last one....

With that said, see ya around!

Hi folks! 

It's been a while hasn't it? Well I'm sure if you followed me for a while that's no big surprise aheh. So yeah I just finished my second year of uni...sorta, the work for it is finished and so I'm freeeeee until third year rolls around. Hopefully this now means I can dedicate more time to other projects, like Relative Chaos for example! Really can't wait to get back on that, because I really want to improve my pencilling skills because at one point I'm definitely going to send a portfolio to Archie Comics, seeing all these artists that I used to follow on dA become regular artists on the comic really inspired me and hopefully if my work ends up good enough it'll turn out well enough for me. (Provided that they can tolerate me being from the UK instead of being based in the US). But I'm getting a bit ahead of myself, for now look forward to more pages of Relative Chaos!

Also going to start putting together my original comic Echobeat. Gonna finally get round to putting all the notes and what not into actual scripts, ACTUAL SCRIPTS so that I can start working on pages over the summer, I've got no planned release date for Echobeat but I do hope to launch it either later this year or early next year at the most. 

Alongside those endeavours gonna continue working on a game with my good buddy and finally start up commissions. Speaking of which don't suppose I can get a show of hands of anyone willing to buy commissions from me? Just want to see if I can gauge people's interest in my art at the moment. Also if anyone has any links to tips on how to price commissions it would be greatly appreciated!

Annnnd that's all for now! Till next time!
