Update

Nothing new here. Just work work work and work. The pimples from work-related stress are new though. A whole lot of them. I need some potent cleansers. Any suggestions?

So the geofiction/nation roleplaying game Eshraval that I've committed so much time and effort on is closed for good. The creator of the game is apparently sick of the game so that's it. Rite now I'm on another RP board called Fracta Passium [ http://fractapassium.invisionzone.com/index.php? ]. I doubt I've much trust in these games anymore.

The Studio requires every employee to submit a piece of artwork for its submission in the upcoming Comic Fiesta. The artbook is called Doodle. So go and buy one when it's out! For my submission, I've already thought of a theme. It's called the Republic of Operatic Chihuahuas. Vector art. Might be completely done Flash. I dunno. Let's see where it goes. I chose this subject matter because this is a thing I hate. Yeah, it's a bit refreshing to do something you hate instead of doing something you like.

I've also joined a bunch of colleagues in a personal Comic Fiesta artbook project. They gave free rein on what we could do. At the moment I have no obvious preferences but cats are something on my mind. Besides, I'm developing and designing a race of catpeople called the Rau (as in cow). The requirement is minimum 2 painted works and 5 sketches. Yet the payment is the same. So I thought I would submit all 5 painted works, depicting the 5 or combinations of the most important figures and characters in the Raurian nation.

The Rau is also a faction in Fracta Passium. FP is different from Eshraval in the sense that it is a space-opera. Each player plays a faction, which controls one or more systems, including a homeworld of course. Since I have no time to play, I told the game master that I cannot commit so I've established the Rau planetary government as an isolationist faction.

My personal life: well, me and my partner has just purchased a house. But our relationship is a bit shaky at the moment. I am not sure whether this is the good time for such an investment. I have my doubts, but we'll see what time will bring forth.

Ciao.
