Ok, first, we got SNOW!

IN FREAKIN' SOUTH TEXAS!

WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

It happened yesterday, and it's still melting. So awesome!

Also, On the same day, my Intuos4 came in the mail! You know what that means?

It means that if I can find the time, I'll be drawing up a storm!

Also, some big changes are on their way. Most notably, I'm planning on creating a new OC, re-working some details in my existing characters, creating a new DeviantArt profile and handle, as well as changing my studio name (!MK1 Productions is getting old. )

Hopefully you guys can still recognize me when it's all said and done. As for when it will happen, that will depend on how fast I can conceptualize and tweak things until they're ready. Until then, I'll be good ol' MarioMK1, of MK1 productions.

Yeah I'm just putting this here because last year people got annoyed I didn't tell them about it so...

...yeah.

In other news, I now have Adobe CS4 Production Premium! That means I have the top notch versions of Photoshop, Flash, Illustrator, Premiere, After effects and some other stuff I don't know about. Got it with my brother's student discount. WOO HOO!

Now if only I could figure out how to work them...

So this here guy named PT-Piranha bumps into me and he says "Oh hey dude you've just been tagged!" I'm like "lolwut?" and figure "Ehh, why not?" So here I am.

1 - My birthday is on October 10th 1990, which means I turn 20 on 10-10-10. Oh snaps!
2 - I'm wearing a Chuck Norris T-shirt right now.
3 - I'm one of them crazy Tea Party goers, protestin' against big government and all that stuff.
4 - I recently got Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story. So far it's turning out to be my favorite Mario RPG yet!
5 - I'm pretty lazy.
6 - Despite my fatness, I've been able to regularly go without breakfast and lunch for several days.
7 - I'm homeschooled, and despite what the dictionary says, "homeschool" is indeed, one word.
8 - I wish it didn't get so hot down here.
9 - I've never been on a roller coaster with loops.
10 - I've only been out of state (Texas) twice.

I don't feel like tagging anyone. (See #5)

Alright, With most of the major things out of the way, let's see what else I've got on my plate.

Make entry for Venture Crew Patch Contest. (A branch of the Boy Scouts of America)
Redesign Dylan.
Work on character designs for a friend.
Start Wrong, Right and Left.

In regards to WRL, I'm pleased to announce that the first comic is finished. However, I won't start the series until I'm a few comics ahead. This way I have some give when it comes to updating schedule. Not really in a hurry to get it started, I still need to get Dylan worked out before a certain point in the comic.

No more distractions. If it's not one thing it's another, and I say enough with it! I won't be making a gift or accepting any new art trades for a long time. These gates close now.

Now that that's over with, lets see what's on the to do list.

Make art trade peice for ComicDish member Hawk
Make art trade peice for ComicDish member Xenterex
Make entry for Falcon6 Forums Banner
Redesign Dylan and/or create new character in his place
Start Wrong, Right and Left.

Hmm... That second to last one is new. That's right, I'll be either redesigning Dylan or creating a different character to take his place in WRL. Why? Because believe it or not, I have trouble drawing Dylan in his current state, and thanks to the ComicDish podcast, I know why. Believe it or not, Dylan is my least developed character in my not-yet-released comic, and as my mind comprehends what to do, I've decided it would be best to re-vamp the character altogether in order to maximize drawability and define him better to fit into the comic's three character main cast.

But first things first. I need to get done with the first three things on the list, all of which are due near the end of the month. D:
