Helloooo all! It's been, what, at least a year since I've checked in? Maybe two? I can't guarantee if I'll even stick around for very long, but I suppose some of you might be curious as to what I've been up to.
I graduated high school in summer 2015 (just a month or two after the trip to Disney I know I had posted about), and started up at community college the following fall. Did that for two years, and graduated with my Associate's in Graphic Design back in May. Now I'm at art school a couple of states southward, finally on the track to study Animation as I had wanted to since I joined here. Finished my first quarter there two weeks ago, and now I'm home until the beginning of January.
It's been an interesting ride for sure! I can't say I completely miss community college (especially the stretch of terrible professors I had last spring), but there were definitely experiences there that I remember very fondly and friends I can't wait to see while I'm home. Though I am much, much happier actually being at art school -- everyone there is so nice and easy to talk with, and all of the friends I've made there so far are super cool.
So that's pretty much what's been up! What else... I had three different and unique summer jobs between high school graduation and this summer, as well as an unpaid freelance collaboration with a Broadway blog. I worked for said blog for about a year (March 2016 to just beyond my starting date in 2017), and both had my artwork displayed at 54 Below for a concert and go to BroadwayCon because of them. (BroadwayCon was stressful but SOOOO much fun, oh my gosh. I would do it again in a heartbeat if I knew I would be home for it this year.)
So, yeah! That's about it on my end. I hope you guys are all doing well! A lot of my interest in Dalmatians nowadays has sort of been funneled to the second-generation lovechildren, but maybe I'll start revamping some of my older characters? A few of them have sort of turned into non-Disney associated OCs, but I still have a handful that are just sitting around without much of a purpose or use.
