ドレス


Jhonevin might be sharing his name with my Deep Roads mentor mage character. He needs a name, and I've been trying to come up with something elegant, and Jonevin came to mind. I might play with the spelling and sounds more though. I was temtped to just outright give him the exact spelling of Jhonevin, but then I would confuse myself when talking about the two different characters. I also want original Jhonevin to retain his name... he was one of my first ever OCs so he is special ;__; and I feel as though I musn't spoil it by cloning his name.

Anyway. So that's where I'm at with... Dragon Age: Driftwood!
Yeeesss. I came up with a name for the story of my little band of heroes. My Deep Roads elf, Kossith warrior, Orlesian arcane mage and... sylvian! They have a docile sylvian friend now. I came up with a story for him while I was in Sydney for Christmas.
EVERYBODY JUST NEEDS NAMES. I hope to get better at naming.

Sigh. So, 2014.
Last year I gave a piss poor effort in my DDs. Here's to having another NYR for posting here more!
My aim for 2013 was to post here 200 times, I think? This year I want to shoot for 250. If I try, I can get it done.
I have a whole bunch of project ideas I'd like to see through this year. So far some of them are

  • Fenris Cosplay - this I have to HAVE TO do. Plan for a PAX Melb debut.
  • Clay busts - I want to make Aria T'Loak and Garrus Vakarian. Recently someone commented on my Arashok bust I created in sculptris on dA, inqiring whether or not I had revised and remade it yet (which I hinted at hopefully doing in the description of the pic). It kind of made me feel like... yay, someone cares xD I want to challenge myself to see if I can do it. A simple comment like that just... fueled me a bit! 
  • Dragon Age: Driftwood - I want to put this out somewhere. I sort of want to have a crack at writing, comics, and possibly even printing out my own comic and seeing how they look. This project needs A LOT of work, especially the story. It has no body, just an idea for the characters and for how the story might end. But how the characters meet, what is their purpose to come together, their journey/adventure? Nothing yet. :T herp.
  • Hybrids: Introduction Comic - This will either be done before or after Driftwood. The story of Denzel and his gang of genetically altered vigilanties. Their story also has no body, but maybe it doesn't need to. Hybrids (I never settled on a name for this) is just a coctail of my social observations, cool things I found out about science, cool geneology & evolution info I come across that I want to remember so I condense into character bios, aaaand other stuff. Also needs a lot of work, but I've had a backbone for a story of how the group get together and start their story, and what direction I hope to send them off in. With just that I want to get something of an introduction for the different characters and what setting they'll be playing in as a comic.
Not a big list, but I will take a while doing them. Fenris comic is going to strain my fucking wallet, but I want it to be worth it. I'm going to have to learn how to sew, so before I tackle the big task of making my first ever cosplay, I hope to do some smaller projects like making a hanar plush (that I might morph into a Blasto plush 8D with velcro guns?) that I plan to add bendable wire into the tentacles, so that the toy can be molded into shapes and the arms to hug someones face mehbeh.

That's it then. 2014, will I still be a piece of shit by the time 2015 rolls around?
My brain is already talking to itself, questioning if even if I only get 3/4 of these jobs completed, will that be enough for a pass? I'll be content and feel successful having accomplished more than half of the tasks, so I don't have to do them all, right?
Ugh. So it's this kind of talk that I have going on right now that needs to stop. I will do them all. I don't have a choice if I want to get better, as a person.
