***...Commencing...***

Right then...

Hey everybody! MuddyMudkip here, injured and dead alive and back from school! This school year's been a busy one for me, and I bet I'll be even busier next year. So, it's currently summer time once more here in the Philippines. This time, I'm planning on doing a lot more pieces of GFX art, and write up at least a chapter or two of my current and on-going fanfic, The Eight Stones.

Speaking of GIMP art, I will try and do my best this summer to improve. And hopefully, I will get better - slowly. I am also going to find a lot more tutorials to help me find my "style", "technique", and some other stuff.. I'll also be doing some drawing and sketching - that's why I've recently been searching for drawing tips. Not meaning to boast or anything, but I've been getting better at sketching/drawing Pokemon! Yayzers for me! Of course, they're nowhere near to being as good, maybe even half-as-good, as your pieces or art (yes, you amazingly talented drawers/sketchers!). I'm planning on scanning and posting them soon enough! So, anyway, feel free to send me some tips and/or tuts, etc.!

Writing (and role-playing on BMGf) has taken up most of my time this first two weeks of summer break - and some of my free time during the school semesters as well. I have managed to write two Pokemon one-shots, ever-so-slightly revamped the Eight Stones, and three stories that are Works-In-Progress - two of which are part of a Trilogy - during the time-span of the school year. Hopefully, I'll finish writing Chapters 2 and 3 of my fanfic. And I have yet to fulfill my promise and goal of writing a Pokemon shipping fanfic.

So what's new? Well nothing much, really. I've just taken an interest to drawing and sketching, as well as liking role-playing a whole lot more. I've also been inclined to write in first-person style. Other than that, there's really nothing much else to say!
