Over 225 art submisisons in 2017 + End of August

The other day, I just hit up more than 225 art pieces! I actually have done more art pieces than last year's total! I'm like amazed with how many I have done! We're at the very end of August and as I predicted, this month marks the time I reached more, since last year I only made 222 at the end of 2016. For this milestone, I uploaded this piece as to collide with it. Fans wanted me to give them the first take on King Santos and Queen Rosetta but just from a faded image perspective.

Now I am aware that some may not have liked the next art piece that I did that followed it, which kinda shows that I have to do better with character design as it's more complex and it's kinda frightening, especially at a time where I managed to break my own personal record and to be happy on how much I have done. While it's nice to celebrate for something you reached, it should also be granted that you need to make changes to new routes to how you do things and continue to build on from that point. With that said, it's one of those "Don't drop your guard down" moments. And as of today, I did these two images as a start. And if you compare these two drawings to the other two art pieces that came before these two, notice a huge difference in towards the coloring, the structuring and everything. In this case, it's all about quality over quantity, honestly. The difference between these two images and the other two before are night and day.

I thought that these pictures wouldn't do well, but it turned out that I was wrong. Not only did I do something totally different, but it seemed that people liked what I did. Even my friends liked what I did, after being suggested to do something else. That way, I'll have more ways to try out art before deciding what can be done to try my own style. I'll also be sure to find more reference sheets, reference images and art videos on top of that. And I mean it.

Just less than half an hour left with this journal being posted where I am, before September comes in. Oh my, is it going to be a big experience. This month, I return to college for my seventh semester, and I must re-take my Elementary Algebra class. Not everyone is able to master such category, but it's required if I want to earn my associate's degree. I'll be going three days a week, which are mornings only, surprisingly. So I would be home in the later morning, just before lunch. I just wonder how things are going to be like when I start. Just hope that this time, I can pass...Pretty nervous about it, to be honest.

But in a positive aspect towards giving my gratitude once more to the nice people that got me far, thank you guys so much for the kind support you've given me for a long while now. You have all never cease to amaze me for what you have done. You are all loyal, kind and generous for helping me to not let my chin down and encouraging me to help find other ways to do better with what I like doing. And this is sincerely coming from me deep down inside my heart.

That's all I got now. I'll see you all in September!
