I've added over 100 new (old) pencils to my collection, thanks to a visit to the scrap heap. I've tested some of the colored pencils here (ain't it pretty?). ^_^

In other news,

WATCHER: "I see no MT then.. oh well. I wanted to see your dark story"

So long as the Lord sees fit to keep air in my lungs, I'll not abandon MT.
THAT SAID, I have (yet again) put it off (in spite of the big deal I made about it two months ago), in favor of ACO/Quickie production.

I hate this sort of thing about myself---how I will procrastinate on those things I say I'll do.
This is a major reason I don't do requests---if I say I'll do it ...I absolutely will, but it could be WEEKS before I get to it (one person has been waiting for years ...not joking, not proud). ^^

I dislike disappointing and upsetting people---delaying promises is an excellent way to achieve both, hence I tend not to commit myself. I've committed myself to MT, which is what's killing it. :(

MT is very much on my mind---it's not been forgotten, I'm just overwhelmed by it.
There's literally NO aspect that (by itself) wouldn't entail a lot of time, work and discipline.
For example, I'd have over 30 (yes, thirty) character models to refine and practice (I'd need to draw each a few dozen times before they'd become intuitive---just look at Gene over the years). :P
Another would involve returning to a mindset I had when I was in my 20's (when MT began)---I think very differently today, esp. on religion (which is a major element in the story). :P

I'm not at an age where I can put things off---40 may not seem old, but I don't have the greatest health in the world (and I'm overweight to boot!).
I worry about this sort of thing ...and that leads (incongruously) to more procrastination. :P

Anyway, MT's not been forgotten. Not that it would mean much to anyone if I did forget and/or drop it entirely (as I've uploaded effectively nothing about it)---I just project my anxiety onto my watchers (which I know is irrational, but that's how it is, regardless).

This wasn't much of an update (just more the same)---just helped me feel better to write something about this, even if it's saying nothing (new).

"Not that it would mean much to anyone if I did forget and/or drop it entirely" - Chippy

I would care. I have spent my life making things that no one would ever read/see (something I wanted to talk more about elsewhere). If I were to happen upon someone elses secret masterpiece ... idk it be like finding a comrade in arms (I wanted to say soul mate but thought that might be a bit too much), a like minded individual who toiled away all by their lonesome, wanting to share something (perhaps) and never getting to. It would be a like finding a treasure to me. An opportunity to enter someone elses world and see it from their point of view, an unparalleled initimate experience since this was them completely unfiltered (since they didn't intend for anyone to see it). More valuable than actual money or "stuff". These are things that can not be replaced! If I were to lose my hard work through say a hardware crash or a fire ... that would be devastating! I'd sooner save those works then any other possession I own no matter HOW VALUABLE! Seriously. I can replace a computer, television, game system, even movies and media, w/e. I can never replace years of creativity, it would be lost forever. The only thing more valuable than that would be actual people and pets. Everything else can burn for all I care!

That's how important my creations are to me. Probably pretty normal for creatives. If you never do anything with it, I hope I can at least one day know something more about MT. There may be a lot of people that talk about wanting to "make a video game some day" or "write a book" or w/e but actually have little to nothing to actually show for it (just ideas in their head). However people who obsessively just create for themselves ... not just things that make sense commericially but stuff that makes no sense to anyone but them, stuff made simply because it was for themselves ... they seem to be a somewhat rare bunch. I can think of four. Myself, you, a friend of mine in texas, and Henry Darger. Can you think of any others?

We shall see. I'm under some self-imposed pressure, presently, to get some quickies done and to get some pencils featured.

If I should die, I'll will what I have of MT to you! XD

" I have spent my life making things that no one would ever read/see"

Show them to me and i'll make that 0 counter of yours go to 1 ! XD
I am a lore eater, every story that can be experienced whatever the media (text, drawing, etc...) will be experienced XP
As long as i am able too, and in that media mood ^^

Most of the time it is video games...

I didn't expected an update,so that is already more than i expected ! XP
Love the purple near Gene hand and the one straight above....especially the last one...remind me of spyro ^^

That seems to be a huge project, the weird things would have been not to feel anxious about XD
So i have one question and one question only ! ... no not explosions If in the eventuality that you would want to draw one and only one of the 30 character of this story, which one would it be ? Would you like to describe him ? ^^

oh dont worry, im not about to go pc police on you. Its just knowing Chippy is straight i figured there was a high likelihood his favorite was a female. Thats all.

Ah-ha, but I'm asexual--your comment implies I draw what I want to snuggle with (not necessarily true).

Consider almost every one of my subjects is male (even for ACO). I myself attribute this to coincidence, but it's there. :P

Actually, what you say was the first things i have though when i clicked the "add reply" button. But i was, oh well XP

Liliy-Winter. She's, effectively, a female Gene (albeit they aren't related).

I think that hand-purple is from a Kimberly pencil, and the head-purple is a Prismacolor. :3

Lily, Didymus and Thompson would be the characters to grace the cover if I ever made such art. lol

Gene and Tasli are hardly in the story, but they have appeal as cubs (hence my use of them outside MT). ^^

Youve certainly turned Gene and Tasli into the stars of your channel (at least to me).

Ironic they should be so minor in the work they originate from.

In the story, Gene's character is similar to Pinnochio: Gene wants to have a soul so he can be real.

Love the prismacolor ... color and the Kimberly pencil aspect on paper if it make sens ^^

Lily winter ? That's a nice name. And she is a female Gene so... a nice cat that isn't as cold that her name could have suggest ? *ba dum tss* (yes i love awful pun). But i don't think you were talking about her species but her...mindset ? So what species is she ?

Lily is a wolf-cat hybrid, albeit she favors cat in appearance (she has a cute snaggle tooth and a wolf tail). ^^

Her fur's white, and her default outfit is a pink jacket with feathered hat, and black pants.

Lily's a bit snooty, but has a good heart; she's protective and fights for justice.

The older I get, the more I procrastinate.

It's not that I don't have the same desire to do things.  I just don't have the energy, especially after a full day of work.

So, it happens.

And yeah, if you think 40 is old...
An even older (than me) friend of mine and I are considering starting a local grey-muzzle meet.  Not that younger furs wouldn't be welcome.  They would be, of course!  But we think it would be nice to have a place where those of us who have been in the fandom for decades, and have more life experience, can get together for a day or a weekend, and share our experiences, have fun, or wax nostalgic about things, without the understandable distractions of youth.
