Senior Project help?
3 min read
Alright so I won't go into the whole "Oh my school is a pile of crap blablabla" because we kinda all get that.
Basically this year the seniors in my school did horrible with turning in stuff on time, so they decided to torture my class because of that, and give us due dates, more to do, and if we miss one due date, were done, we cant graduate.
The booklet they gave us is bad, not gonna lie, it doesn't seem to help at all. I don't even know what to start first so I am really confused. HOWEVER, I do know that I am going to be doing a product on a 3-4 minute animation on Adobe Flash (Lets hope I can get that anyway).
So.. I have a lot of restrictions I still need to learn about for everything I have to do for this project. But the one thing I know I am doing is the product, but that is also the reason I wanted to make this journal.
I wanted to reach out to people here on DA. Fellow animators or artists could really be of help, especially because apparently I need to interview someone..? I don't even know..
So basically, I wanted to ask you guys, what should my 3-4 minute special be about?
I have been thinking maybe something to do with my OCs but because it can only be 3-4 minutes.. I don't know if I could fit an entire story in that. Then I thought "Well maybe I could do something with Warriors?" but that's the same problem with the OCs, plus a lot of people in that school have no idea what Warriors is.. So it may not make any sense to them. There are a lot of things I could animate for 3-4 minutes, so long as they're not too complex. If you think I should go for some OC story animation let me know! Or if you think of anything else let me know, any tips or ideas would be really useful!
There is also some limitations as well...
So I have put into consideration how I will need voice actors too, especially if I plan on animating one of my OCs stories. Plus I haven't even begun to read all the rules on this product. I'm telling you, they did not make this guideline book easy at all. I don't even know what to start first
Plus as stated before, I would love to have an animation that is interesting.. but I also need to take in consideration how long a frame would take depending on the scene and character. Obviously if I did Koji it would probably take up a lot of time to do frames considering the amount of detail on him. (Though I wouldn't mind doing an animation of Koji if that's what you guys suggest.)
So, any ideas?
Thanks guys!

Hello again!
I would first off like to apologize for not being the most active on DeviantArt. Recently I have gotten a Bamboo splash tablet, and a new stylus for Christmas since my dog chewed my first one up e.e
After I got that, I was more into drawing. There are things on YouTube called "MAPS" or known as Multi Animator Projects. (There are also things called MEPS which are "Multi Editor Projects") which I have been into for a while now.
Basically I am into animating now, bigger projects.
For requests, I am really sorry for not finishing them. High school is stressful, and in all honesty I think I have lost the motivation to draw like I used too. (Believe me animating is not easy either, I need too though, I have alot of MAPS due soon.)
I am way more active on YouTube than here now, I always find it hard to remember what I was last speaking about when people reply, so I also apologize for that too. >.<
However, for those who are still on DA and requested from me, I will still do your requests mainly because I plan on being more active on DA.
Thanks for reading guys.

The darkness of the world...
6 min read
Once upon a time there was a world where no one got hurt, no one had to worry about getting judged from other people.
There was once a time where pain did not exist to humans, the faintest happiness had lived then. At least, that's what I thought, before everything had to the worst.
Now it is dark, nothing can fix the darkness in which has engulfed that happiness you seeked before. As you try to regain it, it seems as if you are drowning in it, like the life is leeching out of you at every struggle. As you try to fight the darkness, another danger lurks towards you, in the corner illuminated with the fog of your own mind. It seems as if a person has come to great you, there heart as cold and dark as yours. The world, the life that it processes, all together in a bundle of darkness. Darkness, darkness everywhere, blocking most of that old sunlight which shown into your heart. This new companion, you seek the truth at why it is here. Little do you know, little does everyone know, that this companion is nothing but an illusion. A sad, sad dark illusion of your world that used to shine as the happiness left that smile. The amazing, touching smile that had the life of an amazing world. Now it is gone, you wear a mask to hide that smile from ever haunting you again. Times have changed, the time of smiling, laughing, happiness, all engulfed by the darkness that looms over all of us, turning out fates into ice, that will forever lock our minds.
Is it making everything burn? Is that why you feel the burning in your chest around others who are blind to the effect? You look around, body shaking to the weight of darkness that is slowly filling your lungs. As you turn, you see a light, the feeling of promises and love built into one, big, giant promise. You seek it, do you not? The promises it held, perhaps still holds. As you feel the happiness rise back into your neglected body, the force of something, no, someone pulls you back. You try desperately to hold onto that lit heaven you see, but its slowly fading away, the darkness covering you again as you are blinded by it and pulled to sleep.
Are you going insane? you feel as if the world around you are all turning dark, like regenerating that cold fog that clouds your mind. You try to speak, desperate for the right words but nothing comes out, instead, ever so slightly you feel strangely cold. The moment you feel safe, its all gone now. There was no one there, everyone had turned on you, like the happiness may have done to you. Did you have faith before this darkness arose? Maybe you are becoming insane, maybe the darkness has taken over you. The pain rises to your chest, very slowly, like its squeezing the last drops of pure happiness straight from you. The streams that held emotion come frequently now, as you lie there, naked, bleeding, you feel the cold rush down your cheek. Why was no one there?
Now there seemed to be no one there, everyone had turned into the darkness, everyone. Had it happened? Had the other souls got lost in the loop of promises and darkness, too? No. It cant be. You see something, a figure of some sort, the cold making it hard for you to get up as you struggle to the light you see. It seems as if something is there, something guarding you. But what could it be, you wonder as you sit beside it and gaze up into its glow. Warmth fills you instantly as you feel the wounds healing on you, the darkness melting around you, inside of you, you feel safe and secure like the old times. The shield of light doesn't fade, at least from what you can see. That is until one day, the light began to fade like a light loosing its strength. Desperately you search for the problem, you cannot see a thing but darkness now, corrupted souls around you, oblivious to the light but in there own wicked way. What was it? The guard... its loosing strength, its turning black, just like the rest of them. No... Is all you can think of, then cold strikes you like a snake biting the life out of you. As you shake, you see the light move away from you, ever so slowly, but there is nothing you can do. No, don't let it destroy you, you have to follow it. The wounds, all of the wounds are starting to come alive again, the burning in your chest and lungs, the tears, the feeling of being insane. Its all back, the darkness was ever so stronger before, that's when the guard finally stops, as if taunting you. You take one hand into the shine of light, but instead of the warmth you had felt for some long, a sting, like the zap of lightning goes through your body, what was it saying? Then it occurs to you, the darkness was you, it had flowed inside of you and corrupted your heart. Had it been you? Was it trying to force you away?
No... don't give up. You force your way into the light, the shocks from it more painful then any of the darkness that had made itself a resident in your body, the two pains together where to much. Then you fall, all you can see is the dark, lost souls circle that light and you, there eyes a crimson red as you feel your heart swarm.
The darkness is inside, it is everywhere, drowning everyone's soul, many are to blind to see this. The pain of one helping you, being so close, can be enough to tear you apart in a second. Is the world cold? You tell me.

I just got done reading the part in The last hope of Warriors by Erin Hunter, where Mousefur dies.
But thats not why im sad. :C
The fact is, Hollyleaf died with saying what she said to Leafpool. I felt so bad, and I realised that with all she had been through, she finally actually made the right choose. I also cried when Crowfeather came in and mourned her death.. :c
Dispite all of it.. I think ill honestly miss Hollyleaf. She is my favorite character.
R.I.P
"It's okay, Leafpool. I don't mind. I'm glad I came back to ThunderClan. I couldn't bear to... to leave without getting to know my mother."

Hey guys.
Its been awhile, many of you know that I took a sort of break from DA. The truth is, I replied to some people, some I was to lazy or busy to reply to.
However, lately I have been a bit stressed from certain things, so please give me time, ill get around eventually I promise.
As for requests, they will go on as normal, as well as the others.
Thanks for hanging in there with me guys.
