Well my Joe Murray Class is Officially starting on Saturday but I have a LOT of preparing to do so I will only be working on things for class from here on out until it is over. I will get back to finishing up commissions as SOON as it is finished, and don't worry everything is color coded and still in the "hot" folder so I won't forget to finish things as soon as I can. I apologize if this causes any inconvenience, but this is a HUGE opportunity to hopefully be one step closer to my life's goals. There HAS been a slight change of plans though, that  I am actually really excited about!

Since this is my second time taking his class, and I have another idea for a series that is the polar opposite style, and genre as Waffles, Joe would like to work on that with me. I can do the editing and animatic for my Waffles pitch on my own after the class, and he is still happy to critique and help me with it. However, (and I agree) he thinks I am a bit locked into Waffles since I have been with these characters so long, which can be a good thing AND a bad thing. I also think it would be nice to give some of my other characters and ideas some love. I am a bit intimidated, as the story I am approaching is more of a fantasy epic, that is both deep and adult.  It will have some humor and whimsy to it as well, but it is much more serious. My story and characters are still in their infancy of creation which will also pose as an incredible challenge since it is basically getting to know knew people, and learn all about their world and stories from scratch, where-as with my Waffles stuff I had the upper hand, having lived with that world and those characters for so long, and just having to string it together. I will do my best to update you all as it goes, as well as possibly stream bits and pieces of my assignments at times, but no promises. I have to buckle down and focus, but I am so excited to share these knew beings with you all!
