Hey guys. There really isn't much to tell, but it's been a while, so I thought I'd announce that I'm still relatively alive.

A small stretch remains, and then I'll have less to deal with from school. I've been drawing here and there, and my art style (not the Phantom Cove style, mind you) has developed a bit more, but I haven't really concentrated on making a quality piece of artwork lately. It will take some time to reacquaint myself with my tablet (I've been going traditional about 95% of the time since my last journal was posted).

Phantom Cove has developed slightly. I'm trying to tweak the art style again to where I'm comfortable. There may not be massive changes, but nevertheless, it might become quite different. I've come up with some new stories as well, which will ensure that stuff happens after the first arc is (someday) completed.

Thus concludes my update. I have a feeling some good stuff is going to happen in the near future.

General Update

2 min read
School has taken over quite the portion of my life lately. I won't bore you with the details, but suffice it to say that the murky depths will be clearing up a bit shortly. 

I did manage to get a bit of work done on the next page of Phantom Cove over the past week or two. It still has a LONG way to go, though, especially if I use a similar method to the one from the last page. Not to mention that apart from schoolwork, I have uncountable numbers of other creative projects going alongside it. But never fear, I have a good feeling about the rest of this week.

I may also post other deviations from time to time, as you may have seen recently. These are partly for stress relief, and partly because Phantom Cove is just a small part of the big picture to me. I just wanted to get that off my chest, because I once read some advice from one of my favorite comic artists about update-type projects being a periodical commitment. At this point in my life, I feel that I should just go with the flow on my "spare time" stuff.

This has been *dun* *dun* *dunnnn* another pointless update from pineapplehunter

Seriously, is there ANYTHING catchier than "Eine Kleine Nachtmusik?"

Hey, guys.

As I said before, it's going to be a while before the next page of Phantom Cove. My schedule will soon be overloaded, and hours reserved for sleep will be greatly diminished. 

My main reason for writing this journal, other than my wanting to reuse this Totoro skin, is to show you this literature contest: http://fav.me/d6dvdxr It is being held by MissLunaRose (And hey, the link turned the font green.) Anyone with an affinity for writing and dA points should consider entering this contest. Luna's characters interact very well, and I think it's possible to write them into something excellent.

And finally, I have two other links for you.

Hey, folks! It's that glorious time of year when we can use whatever journal skin we want. I thought I'd write a small update.

First, the good news: I found this great Totoro journal skin. Also, I started my first non-failure webcomic! (Phantom Cove)

On the downside, the horror of schoolwork will soon begin, and it will be tremendously hard to find the time for making new comic pages. But I swear it will be done.

Happy trails. I think I'm just going to have a Miyazaki day.

Major Cleanup

2 min read
I am in the process of recreating this account. Many of my old, amateur drawings have been scrapped or (a paltry amount) deleted. Most of the old Wings of Steel stuff is there, if anyone's still interested. That comic idea is most likely never coming back, but don't be surprised if the characters make a cameo or two in my future work. A good deal of my old journal entries have also been deleted. I suppose it's my way of erasing the past. I am not entirely proud of the artist I was back in those days, but I have kept some of those other deviations on dA simply to see how I have grown. Take a look if you like.

In the future, this account will not simply be a dumping ground. The deviations posted here will probably stay more in the digital field, for reasons I cannot yet reveal, which are actually quite pointless. All will become known in due time. I'm trying to become a trifle more "professional."

Also on the agenda is a change to my avatar and deviantID. I've got a few ideas, but feel free to make suggestions. :D

As for things that are going on right now:

:bulletred: Progress has been made on Marius, the spiritual successor to this: 
Les Miserables - Grantaire by pineapplehunter

:bulletblue: I will re-upload the first page of Phantom Cove as soon as the digital inking is complete. Bear with me, it's almost there, I promise. :D (Big Grin)
