Do you guys ever read/look at your previous entries to type the one you are currently typing? Because I do and it does not just apply to dA.

Wow, it has literally been years since my last journal. And it has been literally a doozy since the epic slide downhill of a certain event. But enough about that, I am officially free to do whatever I wish and whatever I wish to achieve. So you guys are looking at a fresh Yokal who is now part of. . .the regular working force. Damnit~

Oh well.

But seriously, the challenges that one gets to face and the people that you meet along the way make for an interesting journey. I have recently made some new friends, drew some interesting pieces- you know what, I'll make a list of the stuff that I experienced or did. Organizing your thoughts makes for a great point!

*ahem*

  • Made some new friends
  • Created several, long time coming social media connections. Like fixing/cleaning my tumblr, made a twitter account, made [REDACTED] and a page on [REDACTED]
  • Drew some interesting pieces for some of the new friends I made and have finally found my calling for drawing boobies and butts (still not confident in taking up commissions but please feel free to contact me, I may just take you up on your offers)
  • Cleaned up my internet act by linking accounts under one unified handle name. Though I am still looking for a site for webcomics and a site that would be neat for a portfolio kind of setup(looking for a job as a concept artist, character design, or background illustrator for games or animations).
  • Also, seen some of my works in some image boards. It is actually cool that I see my stuff there so, to the guys who post my stuff there, thanks! But please follow the rules of creative commons: share and credit for as long as its non-profit! But you have my blessing to post them on appropriate image boards and the like, as long as its not imgur and 9gag.
  • Somewhat healthier lifestyle. . .total lie. I eat what I love to eat but I decided some cardio is in need. I tend to spend my days in front of a computer screen so, yeah. Need to keep fit just in case zombies come along, a sale for toys/figurines/collectables/MLP, free donuts/ramen, running away from my female stalkers, or just running for the heck of it.
  • Aside from exercise, I will state that my doodles are rust removal exercises for my brain/imagination and my hands. My speedpaints also fall under rust removal.
  • I'm just leaving this here for a thing DERPI-LINKVALIDATION-BFA487059F
That is all for this issue of a nearly bi-annual(?) journal entries from Yokal. Here have some Rari-Tea (I can't help it alright! Puns!)

...Since I last updated this journal and many others in multiple art sites.

I have no words to say that I am sorry nor I have no words to say that I am alright. I am not saying good bye. I owe it all to this site and the many talented artists that roam its pages. I am just here to say what I have been up to for the past 11 months.

I know that no one wants to read a wall of text nor they would want to read about anguish that may or may not be relative to ones own but bear with me. It might give you some insight and also help you guys in some way. Or probably not :I

First of, I love using this text-emoticon, its so simple.   :I   

Second, over the past year I have failed one subject in course. And that subject being is Thesis. Therefore it took me a year to take it up again, which currently is this school year. So come February, I will have to defend my Thesis. And after which the real world awaits me. I know what some maybe thinking, sure all I need to do is illustrate but that is just one half of what I need to do and defend, because sadly the course requires me to make an Ad Campaign. So thus I might be making animated stuff and some posters and the like to present and woo my jury. I know it will go well, I am confident of it. 

Setting up the Circus tents by Yokal5
Above is the sample of my proposed art exploration, Matte Painting.

Third, nothing much to tell it seems. Just been a regular cabin fever self-induced isolation with illustrations for most of the year. Been improving a bit slowly but learning everything about your skill takes patience and a HELL load of time. Thus, I have highlights (even though recent, I am proud of them)

Pony Sketches - Twilight Reading by Yokal5  Pony Sketches - Fluttershy Sleeping by Yokal5  Pony Sketches - Rainbow Dash bedtime by Yokal5

Speedy 20 - CoC by Yokal5  Speedy 21 - CoC by Yokal5  Speedy 19 - CoC by Yokal5

So without further ado, catch you all later again. If I do get to update. So I will just leave by saying I am still alive.

Hiatus...maybe

1 min read
I don't think I could ever submit some works here. Reason is that I am too distracted, but no, I am not leaving. I am issuing a on and off again hiatus. Any progress I will and have done would be posted here.

And just so you know, I have a tumblr now. But I will not tell you where it is. I want you guys to lurk for it and leave me a question or something...I don't know.

Well now isnt this a surprise! I am actually writing a journal again. Well I have some 'actual' time today to actually do something. Which I will now spend on writing this journal. It feels too long for me not having touched my journal. But hey time is not on my plate, plates are on my plate!

Aside from plates [pun intended] here be a shameless plug. I have now acquired some tools to help me shmoo myself on the internet like a sophisticated gigolo of art! I present to you ladies and girls, my...WORDPRESS BLOG! foreverfreeeverfree.wordpress.…. And other than that I also acquired camtasia studio 6 so now I can actually record my paints and post them there for you guys to view. But I will also post them on youtube and the screen caps here to link them. Still am debating tho whether or not I would like to get me a livestream account...dunno if I should jump the bandwagon. Oh well...

Other than that I have been trying my hoof at writing fan fictions. Well in general I have been writing stories that I am still ashamed to let them see the light of day. These would, well, generally be focused on MLPFIM and my original story about my OCs so I cant wait to not show them to you! Well I will post the MLPFIM fics because I owe it to :iconbuttersc0tchsundae: and the rest who practically give me hope and spicy ideas every single night I lose my drive.

That is about it I suppose.....till then!

Oh and...MASS EFFECT 3 IS AN EPIC GAME!!! WOOOOOT!!1!!!
