Well.. make sure to take enough breaks inbetween studying still! ;v; 
I've also been wasting most of my time xD Balancing between studying, homework
and commissions but I'm not really using my time as effectively as I could be. So.. Gotta work
on that. òvó Though I have found some time to work on a little comic project. c:
And you? :'D Have you still been drawing lately?

I'll try;; thanks! <33
Oooh, a comic? That sounds really cool! How's it going? o:

I've been drawing, but not as much as I used to;; It's usually just doodles in my notebooks.
I haven't really drawn any cats in a while, and I'm trying to draw
people more often (not realistically, because I stink at that oops).

I'm doing a project for my Civics class, and I'm making an animation for it,
and I have about 4 months to finish? So I have to practice drawing people more. ovo
I'm kind of nervous though because right now I'm not confident at all with drawing people
and I have to share the animation with my class ;_____;

(Ahh sorry for late replying ;__; )
So far I've been having fun with it, but I'm still somewhat unsure as to how the story is going to resolve.
But it feels good to work on personal stuff every now and again. >:'3

That sounds challenging indeed! And it sounds like a big project too! ;v; With your hard work I'm sure
the result will be worth it, though! >v< But yup, human are hard to draw.. ,__, What exactly does it have
to be about?

coccobun In reply to Empoh [2017-10-29 21:21:36 +0000 UTC]

Nooo it's fine, don't worry about it!! ^^

I'm glad you're able to draw things for yourself from time to time! I<33
Are you uploading the comic somewhere? If you are, I would love to read it!

For the project, we were allowed to choose whatever we wanted to do
to help a problem that we care about. I think it's really neat!
We pretty much have the freedom to do anything, like
write a book for a certain cause, help at an animal shelter, raise money for an organization, etc.

I chose to do an animation to spread awareness about discrimination in schools
I'm still not sure what to do for the story though ;; My project is about discrimination in general,
not a specific type of discrimination, but I'm not sure whether to have one type of discrimination or multiple types ;v;
I think it would be nice to put a couple types of discrimination in the story, but I'm not sure how to do that without
making it confusing, since I'm not having any voice acting in it ;____;
I should probably decide quickly since I don't have much time :>

Oops I just realized I wrote a whole bunch >w<

Empoh In reply to coccobun [2017-10-29 21:35:26 +0000 UTC]

I haven't been uploading it yet no, because it's still a real mess xD
But to get an idea of the style, here's a bunch of panels: 1
The story doesn't make any sense yet since it's not in order (yay I'm organized), but
hopefully I will get to that sometime..

And that's sounds like a really great project actually! It's cool that you can decide how to
help others somehow :'D Though the freedom you get does make it hard to choose, I can imagine..
But the idea of an animation is really neat and a great way to bring the topic up. I'm sure there tons of
possibilities to use that theme in animation effectively! ^^ So, I suppose you want to make it into a personal
story then, that plays in a high school setting maybe? Maybe I can help coming up with an idea somehow :'D

Hm, getting voice actors might be another challenge yeah. Though I'm convinced there's people here on Da who
can help, though I'm unsure how many'd be willing to do it for free ;-; There could be a way you tell your animation
just in images though, so that it doesn't need any (spoken) words.. 

And it's ok, I like reading your comments x3

Your comic looks great so far!
The characters look really cute (especially the snake aaaa >v<) and I really like the color palette!
I'm looking forward to seeing more! ^-^

I think it's a really great project too! It also sounds really fun C:
And it would be really nice of you to help me out aaa <33
I think it might be pretty neat to have a silent animation, with some music in the background. :>

Also, are you active on any other app/program that we could talk on?
Since it's a bit more difficult to respond on dA (or it might just be me oops Cx)

Empoh In reply to coccobun [2017-10-30 11:52:31 +0000 UTC]

Thanks! Yeah snek is cute -u- I hope the colour palette won't
become boring after a while, but I thought maybe somehow the colours
can alter over the chapters, or another colour can be introduced idk?

Of course! Do you have ideas for characters or a little plotline already?
I'd love to be of any help :'3

I do have a discord (or skype of course)? Yeah it does take some more time to talk over here xD
In contrary to skype I'm actually online more often on discord so... :'D

But it would also be really cool to add more colors over the chapters!

I only have a really vague idea for the plot, and not many ideas for the characters either;;

I have discord, and I'm pretty active on that as well Cx

Cain-Draws In reply to Empoh [2017-06-14 21:35:49 +0000 UTC]

Oh, I passed as well :3
Even managed to get the highest grade for English, from our entire school x'D
It was a 9.6

Rest was all nice as well. All eights and sevens. So I can't complain :3
I do hope you retry your German exam though. Don't know what grade you got for it. But I never dislike dissapointing a teach either, nor having low grades for something I could've been better at. :I

I wish you the best of luck with that!

Empoh In reply to Cain-Draws [2017-06-15 19:29:51 +0000 UTC]

I hadn't expected otherwise, honestly xD
And that's very impressive indeed! That makes an average of 10... ._.

Yup, I'm going to redo it. It wasn't dramatic, a 7.1 is ok but I usually
got eights and nines for reading tests in German. The n-term was pretty strict. :/
So I'll practice some more and give it another shot. c: My teacher was always incredibly
motivating and he really believed in me and such xD

Thank you!

Cain-Draws In reply to Empoh [2017-06-15 19:36:56 +0000 UTC]

Well if you usually get such high grades then I definitely understand why you want a re-do. :I
It must've been hella dissapointing when you found out.. >.>

I'm sure you'll get it right the second time :3

Yeah, well, it would've rounded off to a 10 if I just had 0.3 decimals more on my average >.>
It's so annoying to see it being turned into a 9 >:I

I got so close... SO CLOSE! >:I

Oh welp, a 9 is good 'nuff I guess xD

Empoh In reply to Cain-Draws [2017-06-16 20:18:31 +0000 UTC]

Yup, it kinda was :I Though I expected my grades overall to be a tad better.
But eh, I graduated.. I don't have to get Cum Laude or anything. xD
..Though I was only 0.2 away on my total average score from getting it but.. Whatever.

That's certainly annoying. ._. A 10 just looks.. Prettier. xD
Though, with your grades, didn't you get the fancy Cum Laude?

Cain-Draws In reply to Empoh [2017-06-16 21:23:19 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, getting a Cum Laude is just for bragging rights really. Who needs that?
Nope, didn't get one. Almost though. My total average came down to a 7.7 Not an eight >.>
Had one to many sevens :I

Oh well. Being both smart and lazy is way better than just being smart, right? xD

Same here, too many sevens.. :I That means you got Socrates though?

My life's been OK.

I've been collecting toys from Japan via Amazon.com (like Kamen Rider action figures (mainly from the LVUR (Level UP Rider Series), Kamen Rider roleplay toys (right now I have the Gashacon Bugvisor, the Dangerous Zombie Gashat and the Bugster Buckle, and the Gashat Gear Dual), and recently, I've been collecting third party Transformers figures from a company called Maketoys (this time with a site called TFSource).

    I see. That is very interesting! So that means that you started
    the collection rather recently, right? What exactly made you want
    to start this collection?

    Holy fuck, I almost forgot this comment existed!  Sorry for the late-ish response.

    "I see. That is very interesting!"

    I know, right?

    "So that means that you started the collection rather recently, right?"

    You could say that.

    "What exactly made you want to start this collection?"

    Well, earlier in November, I saw the LVUR01 figure when I was browsin' around Amazon.com, so I showed the figure to my mother, and she ordered it for me.

    But when I saw the LVUR02 figure, that inspired me to start my collection.

    It's ok. I am rather late on this reply as well!

    That's a really cool idea for a collection. I can imagine it can be quite
    hard to find some of the figures though, especially if they're rare. Has that
    been the case yet? But anyhow, collecting things can be great fun! I hope
    you're enjoying your collection so far.

    "I can imagine it can be quite hard to find some of the figures though, especially if they're rare. Has that been the case yet?"

    Not really because I'd find some of the figures in no time. And not to mention, they are pretty common, especially in Japan.

    And just recently, I decided to shift my focus on getting the movie Rock Dog on DVD.

    However, there are some other toys (mainly from Japan) I might get, so I'll get the Rock Dog DVD when I have the time.

    Alright, that explains.
    Japanese toys have caught my interest as well. I might end up getting
    some too, but there are so many to choose from.

    I haven't heard from that film, but it looks fun. I assume it
    aired in the US but not here. So that means you're a big fan of the film? c:

    "Japanese toys have caught my interest as well. I might end up getting some too, but there are so many to choose from."

    Good to know.

    I'd reccomend starting with the Gamer Driver ($75.99), then buying the following:

    Gekitotsu Robots Gashat ($29.00)

    Drago Knight Hunter Z Gashat ($33.71)

    Mighty Brothers XX (Double X) Gashat ($38.88)

    Maximum Mighty X Gashat ($38.57)

    Hyper Muteki Gashat ($69.97)

    "I haven't heard from that film, but it looks fun."

    Trust me, it is awesome and I highly reccomend watching it.

    It is one of my all-time favorite films next to Zootopia and SING .

    "I assume it aired in the US but not here."

    It was first made (and released) in China on July 8, 2016, and was then brought over to the US on February 24, 2017.

    "So that means you're a big fan of the film? c:"

    Absolutely.

    Thanks for the recommendation. It's good to get some advice on what to buy from
    someone who already started a collection. I will keep it in mind!

    I will add the films to my watchlist. Sing is another one I still need to watch.
    I like the concepts of the films and the trailer looked promising.
    In both Sing and Rock Dog music play a big role. That's a very interesting
    aspect as well if you ask me.

    I see. I looked it up and it didn't air here, but there must be a way to watch it.

    Well, animated films in general are really great I think.
