So I largely stopped using this account for (checks) WOW four years; I'm now in a different place in my life, so for anyone new dropping by, here is a little info on me:

I'm a Canadian artist currently working in the animation industry (as a texture artist in a Toronto firm). On the side I make comics and other art: the biggest project I've immersed myself in is my ongoing fantasy epic, Chirault. I did a Kickstarter for it around December 2014, which went really well, and the first volume of the comic is now in print! A second volume will hopefully be coming up around late summer/early fall 2015.

Here's where you can find me in other places around the web:
Deviantart - art!
Chirault (my webcomic) - updates three times a week thanks to support on Patreon!
Tumblr - Trying to make it be an art blog XD only reblogging stuff that is directly relevant ie: fanart for my own stuff, promos for friends starting big projects
Twitter - chatting n stuff!

In closing, here is a chapter cover from Chirault!

EDITED: June 2, 2014

So I finished this! The whole thing can be read online starting here (within the Chirault archives). It's also in print, though I have yet to set up an online storefront so as of this writing it's only available at conventions or in person.

I'm too tired to keep unpacking but I don't feel like sleeping just yet, so I'll make an LJ post!

The plane flight home was interesting. It got delayed a lot, first of all, because apparently the TO airport is undergoing some sort of construction and only one (!) runway was open, and since it was peak time, all departures and arrivals were slowing to a crawl. So we were already an hour late, and then I guess there was some weird weather system passing through town at the same time because the plane had to circle for ages instead of descending right away due to unusual turbulence.

Possibly because of how many delays there had been, the flight crew was unusually easygoing-- normally they ask us to take off headphones and so on, but this time there was no mention of it to anyone. Maybe the policy changed while I wasn't aware? Or maybe it was just a one-time thing. But anyway, as we were descending into the clouds over Toronto, I had a song from the TRON: Legacy soundtrack playing on my ipod. The song was Rectifier; I don't remember what scene it was from in the movie, but I imagine it was something involving the bad guys doing something impressively evil and visually spectacular. The music, of course, reflected that. The song starts off quiet and then builds to a crescendo partway through. This crescendo was neatly timed to coincide with the airplane finally coming down out of the clouds enough for me to catch a glimpse of Toronto at nighttime, spread out below us.

It was... beautiful. It's funny how powerful music can be sometimes, especially when combined with something as stunning as the increadible panorama of lights that I couldn't tear my eyes from through the entire descent. I found myself getting really excited for the landing-- for whatever comes after today, whatever adventures may come. It felt good, specially after all the uncertainty and self-doubt immediately following the end of classes and graduation. Hopefully I can find out how to keep this feeling!*


<sub>*It's kinda funny though because it's very, very evil music. It sounds like corruption and power long-unchallenged and impenetrable strongholds of cyberpunky darkness. WHY WAS THIS THE SONG THAT HIT ME.

I don't normally write stuff this introspective, but I want to remember this.</sub>

kitten! ;A;



I dare you to watch :03-:06 and not snort with laughter at least a little.

This weekend. It was mad.

Also, done with school now (classes are over, grad ceremony is on the 16th)! And I'm in Toronto! (for a few days, anyway.) And.... thinking about what happens next, awwwk :X

I guess I should find a job now D:

Lol hi LJ. Have a bunch more pictures! None of these are finished yet. 8C
