It's been nearly 4 months since the start of the new year hasn't it? I feel completely useless! I haven't done nearly as much as I have wanted due to time restrictions. I am still writing a fan-fiction for reasons I do not understand myself. It's a shame that something like this that is taking up so much of my time will never be able to become published based on the fact that it involves characters I did not create. It's getting a lot more complicated than I thought it would be too. After finishing the base of the story in January I went back to edit only to find out that there about about 2 more large portions that need to be written and added into it. Such a chore! Based on all the work I've done it's probably about halfway finished with the second draft. I will have to edit it a couple more times before I decided it's officially finished.

For anyone that does read this I have written a Durarara!! fan fiction based on Izaya and Shizuo. It also has Shinra, Celty, Mikado, Psyche, and Tsugaru in it. Then it includes some new characters as well. I tried to follow the original example of the anime and so the story is done in viewpoints. Starts with Shizuo and ends with Mikado, wrapping all together to compile this huge story... But it's not just Durarara!! it also has characters from Sengoku Basara and Final Fantasy in it. Yeah, wrap your mind around that - but I think I did it well enough that is flows without compromising anything. Again, I don't know why I am spending so much time on it; as I said earlier I won't be able to publish it. So sad...

In other news, art wise, I entered 2 contests. Received 3rd place in one, the other is still pending. I enjoy the challenges on the Otaku. I have been browsing them lately but nothing seems to catch my attention. If anyone has a challenge going that things I might like, let me know. I might try it if I have time. Also, thanks to everyone that enjoyed my Eyeshield comic. I haven't written anything with Eyeshield in such a long time. I should get back to that, neh?

And finally - calendar 2013! Yes, seems like a while away but it's only a couple months. This years theme has been decided as Kitarro and Garrick do cosplay. Now to come up with 12 animes to have them cosplay...

I guess that's it. I'm sure you all really wanted to spend your precious time reading all the things involving my art life. Hope you enjoyed it.
