Don't stop

Hi,

America celebrates it's first black president, and I'm surprisingly in the joyous American spirit. Hey I saw the inauglaration or however the spell it, it was quite special, even if there were no fireworks.

I've also begun my serious drawing. The current holidays until the beginning of my poly life are meant to be put into effort. I have enjoyed last year's holidays so now I'm finally doing something productive! Thanks to the gracious tutorials created by the all so deviously deviantART artists, I have drawn human bodies with only a little difficulty. But, even as I praise myself with the drawing of the body, the head is not something to be underestimated. There are still aspects to head structure and facial features that I have not yet mastered. I have improved my skills on hair already, including hair shading.

Well, so far I've drawn Light, the female protagonist of the story, in her side view and her front view though her front view drawing doesn't have a head. I've also drawn some other random stuff. I've scanned and sent the drawings to my friend, Nigel, who will computerise the image and adding color and effects to it.

The story! I've begun continuing with the story after the editing but suddenly realize I have much more editing to do now. Anyway! The info on the story is 115 pages- 35,000+ words- 9 chapters. I hope to make it at least 15 chapters as it would be a great accomplishment in my partly displeasing life. It will take time, but I'll be sure to get it done before the year ends.

By the way, I'm not going to talk about games now- okay I am but it's the game Dark-Light game I'm intending to make. Just going to tell you that I'm goign to make interactive gameplay as in like tapping buttons to do stuff. But I won't have you tapping buttons like people always do in the games. You know the dancing games with the arrows and you have to press the correct arrows at the right time? I'm considering that option to "dance" the moves out fluently, and the penalty will be executed in a non complicated manner. Another thing is adding challenges to the levels, I have already added them into the story.

So, I hope at least one person is reading this, and also that any reader please read my story when it comes out, I'm sure it's one of a kind, even if it sucks. No! I'm confident that this story will come out as a great story. I'm really depending on it for my future even if it is a big dream.

Bye!

Breakout!

Heya!

I've finally recieved my O level results! Before the issuing of results, I've been praying and it has turned out to be fruitful. I'm aiming for Singapore Polytechnic's game design and development course, and I hope to be accepted as my points are good enough with my CCA reduction.

Now, I'm enjoying myself without much distractions. Since I'm going for that course, I've been practicing my drawing, and it is quite difficult. Thanks to the Deviants in Deviantart, I've considered their tutorials and drew basic human figures. I'm currently working on Light with her combat outfit on, I'm attempting to draw her fully. ARGH! It's so difficult to draw humans, and women make it worse (no offense), but I have to take propertion into serious consideration. It's frustrating to draw and erase again and again. Although my drawings make me suffer, I've become a little bit more skilled in controlling my hand movements, as in drawing a circle, curves, lines, and others. Oh, I've also improved in my drawing of heads. I happened to make Light's face look like Yuna because of her hair and stuff, I dunno.

I haven't been playing xbox though, I thought that I've had enough gaming throughout the holidays. My drawing and novel are more important. I'm becoming better with the battle rifle though, but my sniping pretty much stays the same. I don't bother to play Gears of War 2 online because it lags and pretty much sux to be me. Halo 3 multiplayer still owns. Sadly I'm not making a multiplayable game.

Eh...I gotta say... Kingdom Hearts is gay.... Final Fantasy is better than that. I'd prefer going Capcom instead, the resident evil graphics are to my liking. Wesker is still cool.

Well... Gotta go do the novel... I've kept all of you waiting for too long and I need a breakthrough. I hope all yall peeps are enjoying life....I've gotta say this.... The world doesn't suck, it's the people in it because no one's perfect. That's the reason heaven exists

reason

Hello,



I don't get how people pronounce Halo as hello. It's irritating, but I'll pronounce Call of Duty as cock of doody anytime I like. HAH! Well it's the new year and I've set my resolutions on a need to know basis. See anything about me change, it could be that. Yes, the new year is here and will bug you if it doesn't turn out good. Well, the O level results are preventing me from a good night sleep. I dread the day it is issued as I recall the mistakes I excecuted so unknowingly and knowingly. There was the A-math which I failed to finish completely, and the chinese which I have no confidence of understanding. English... I pretty much screwed it up even through days of reading sadistic essays... and writing my novel- which I still haven't finished editing!!!

Lazy ass- I set my finger on the 'r' for a while to type 'arse' but it sounds unoffensive, it's an insult to yourself- I've laid back through the holidays and have nothing to present but hardly any good change in fitness, no novel, no standard drawing, nothing... I got my wish to finally get xbox live, but it deterred me from my progressive responsibilities. I haven't drawn anything good, and I expected to display it for interviewers for my poly course if needed. I so wish that I will achieve me goal. It's all up to God, I put my trust in him during the exams, it remains now. Honestly I doubted him in the gruelling week of hardcore exam topics which crippled my spirit and confidence. So I pray that he aid me in one of my most desperate of times, pray for me too.

Novel wise. I'm 2/3 complete with my editing and will procede to continuing the story. I thanked myself for delaying the edit to brainstorm on the plot of the trilogy. It could be a 4 part trilogy. I even thought of the character's clothing and features. The main theme for these will be FIRE Fire designs are almost everywhere along with crystals. However, the agenda for the parties involved in the conflict seem weak and original. The original desire for power, there could be another motive, but I can't think of it. All I can hope for is to evolve the result of their agenda, it could be a surprise. I'm not telling.

Life matters. I choose to be a game designer and developer, I've thought all along of it with many circumstances and the stakes. My parents seem to disagree with my faithful decision, from my POV they look like they take gaming to be a wretched thing. I get pretty frustrated when they tell me to do something- yeah it's for my own good. Hell if I know, will the polytechnic accept me for gaming a lot? It may be too usual and I could encounter trouble in getting in and doing the course.

I'm ending it here. It may be a gloom new year for me. Please prray for me. Thanks!
