MONTHLY NEWS # 2: 2018, May 20th - New home and Blender 2.80 by Akelun

This is it.

I now finally have gotten Internet, at my new home. I left my parents, I'm living alone. It feels so great... and at the same time add so much new stress due to my financial situation.

I'm actually working until the beginning of July... and need to find a new job fast if I don't want to be kicked out of my new home in some months. So... I shouldn't be really active yet... probably more active than before though.

For the moment, I do not have a lot of things to show.

But the time I spent, being alone, without Internet, I progressed in the script of my comic project. I reached the 110 th page just yesterday. To think it's just a script, so it's more condensed than a novel, and that I probably must be at 10% of the progression of the real story I have in mind... It really IS a big project.

I also progressed on human anatomy studies and a new turn around for one of my character of my comic project (Kawa, again, since I have to modify her a bit).

And finally, I also improved on the dragon anatomy since I wasn't satisfied with the paws and some other details of the dragons I'm usually drawing. My herm dragon Keluna will then be slightly different. But just slightly.

Also, as I now moved and live on my own, some things will change of course. And some of you may wonder: "Will I open commissions / YCH / etc...?" I already talked with a few followers about it.

Well, this is not in my programm yet... But it could be soon. Especially that I will need more money now that I have to pay a rent. Don't worry however, if I open commissions, even if that's for money, my intentions are not to give a fast-made scrap and to take your money. I make a point of confining myself to my responsabilities. If someone is paid for something, he HAS to make this thing... or to apologize and to refund or propose a discount if the commitments were not completely fulfilled or if we're late on our fixed deadline.

Whatever, it's too early to talk about it. I'm not open yet. And don't worry, if I open, you will all get informed on the websites you can follow me: Tumblr, Deviantart, FurAffinity, Weasyl, SoFurry, "MAYBE twitter" and why not Patreon if I open one.

Then... what can I add? Ah, yeah, I kept myself informed about the progress of the 2.80 version of the software Blender. New interface, improvement of the grease Pencil to make it a 2D software as well, and most importantly, the Eevee real time render engine. And to be honest, I really feel amazed and impatient.

If you don't know what I'm talking about, Blender is an open-source 3D software. It is FREE and has, in my point of view, the potential to outperform its rivals at 2'000 or even 4'000 $ (Maya, Softimage, Cinema 4D...). It already outperformed 3DS-max since a long time now in my point of view, by the way. Lighter, Faster, more stable, and it has a real outliner and some other tools.

As you may have noticed, I didn't post a lot of 3D projects I worked with. It is mainly because I used this software mostly to help me in my drawings. I made several "sketches" of characters or Background with it, I rendered it and I used it as a scrap for my final 2D digital arts. Which also can explain why I'm sometimes slow to post a creation.

Though, with Blender 2.80 coming, and promising to be an excellent software, maybe I'll do more serious works on it. I dunno.

Whatever, I guess I said what I needed to say. I'll probably post some WIP of my work on my Tumblr soon (maybe in an hour, maybe in the coming week. I didn't decide yet).

If you have questions to ask, do not hesitate. I'm a dragon, but I don't bite... generally. =P

Have all a nice day!

PS: Next monthly news will probably be posted at the beginning of July, since I really was late because of the time I needed to get Internet.
