Okay, sorry for not replying to anybody you guys. I've been slaving away trying to get into this big animation school. Trying to put together a portfolio.

EVERYTHING got in my way. My computer caught a nasty virus and I had to get it fixed. My transcript was in the mail, and I HAD to wait for it before I could apply. But with the help of my family, good friends, and a couple of my co-workers...

.....

I actually did it. Both my sister and I got acceptance letters and the reviewers at the college actually liked our work. I'm literally just overwhelmed with JOY folks, I can't tell you how excited I am! I GOT INTO ANIMATION SCHOOL! *SQUEE*

THAT was the hard part. Now I just need to get my finances in check. This weekend we're gonna put a deposit on our seats for next year's classes.

I'm sorry. I'm so freaking happy, I could do cartwheels down the stairs. But I would MOST LIKELY break my neck, so I'm gonna go celebrate with the family instead! I feel like nothing can stand in my way!

ART STATUS: Klonoa Picture - Still in the works! 25% finished. :3

Remember to keep on drawing everyone, and thanks to those who have been sending me notes, comments and support.

I hope you're all doing well! Thank you for watching and commenting me you guys. And you guys don't know it, but you helped keep me inspired to make this all happen.

Oh, and just one last side note - I used a couple of my past deviations for my portfolio. I had enough faith in you guys to believe that the pictures I submitted were good enough for my admission into animation school. I figured if you guys thought they were good...then maybe they were good enough to show to the college. And let me tell ya...you guys really helped me nail it! Thanks for all your comments and constructive criticism over the years. You guys helped me through a lot.
