DarkenedFantasies

I've been inactive here for the past 3 weeks because of what was the worst period of my life so far. In mid-December, my little kitty suffered from acute kidney failure, an agonizing week to say the least... I was devastated when he passed away on Dec. 20th at the age of 18, although it was probably for the best. The following week, my depression hit an all-time low, and my anxiety an all-time high, and living with the feeling of guilt, that I could've done better to help him.

A week later I started getting over it and seeing some joy in life again, but I guess that's when the effects of my emotional shock started manifesting physically. Nervous system and body functions having been thrown out of whack from that event put me on 2½ weeks of unending sickness; constant fatigue and low energy, insomnia, little to no appetite, discomfort/irritation in the abdomen, sharp/pinching pains in the sides and liver area, strong & fast heartbeat with fucked up blood pressure and a visible pulse in the abdomen, along with a succession of multiple different other physical health problems to go along with that. Things were worsening in that order, and last week was the worst as I could barely sleep at all due to constant pain and forced myself into an entirely liquid diet. I couldn't see the doc for all that time due to bullshit that I won't be going into.

However, oddly enough, just as every day were getting worse than the previous, I found great relief last Friday when all that shit almost entirely stopped overnight. Perhaps the walks I've been taking in the past few days have helped bring my body back on track. Either way I still plan on seeing the doc once possible and get tests/medical imaging to get to the bottom of this crap.

I still have a bit of discomfort and pain but it's very infrequent, other than that I'm pretty much back to being a functional human; feels good to be eating some solid food again and having good sleep once more. After this whole ordeal, I'm going to be taking better care of my health and start being more physically active.

Anyway, that's my story. See y'all soon with new art!

Bonus Content!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

( ͠°╭͜ʖ╮͡° )

Message to all my watchers: I'm kinda interested to see what y'all are drawing, maybe I'll like some of it? Show me one or two of your best picture (or what you think I'll like). Maybe I can comment on it if you insist.
If I'm already watching you, I guess you can shoot me a pic anyways if you want me to comment on it. XD

On another note, I'm also curious what you'd like to see more from me... or maybe something new? ^^

Lately, I've been working with some new mediums, namely ZModeler2 (3D modelling program specially for games) and GameMaker: Studio. Feels good to be doing something new/different, from drawing all the time.

My first 3D Model, a low-poly (on purpose) model of a flying car design of mine. With a lot of inspiration from my own interpretation of the GTA2 Z-Type. The mesh is probably a mess, but I guess it's not too bad for my first try. If you're wondering why it's missing one half, that's because when I'm done, I will copy/mirror the other half. c:



And here is my first GameMaker project. All graphics are temporary placeholders while I still code the game (that red dot is the player character XD). It's supposed to be a "Bound" game, from the StarCraft custom maps. Basically you have to get through a series of obstacles that usually consist of explosions in a pattern (the cyan squares here). Aside from the difficulty of the obstacles themselves, most of the challenge comes from the fact that there is a delay between the time you click to move and your character executing the order. In other words, it's a timing game.



I'll probably give music a go as well, some time soon, with a program made for 16-bit MIDI. Though I will mostly be doing 16-bit remakes than original compositions at first, before I dare try to come up with my own music... oh dear.
