Journal: Thank you + Fancharacters.

First and most important. I’d like to thank everyone for the kind words and condolences on my last journal. That was a huge comfort for me and my Family. It still hurts, but we have to move on, for our sake as well as grandma’s. I’m sure that’s what she would’ve wanted.

Work’s been bustling lately but I think i finally found my pace so things should go smoother. Wich hopefully will mean more drawing and writing time for me. I want to get back to work on Persona – Chaos Butterfly and draw some of my characters from games and tv shows i’ve been developing now.

Ah yes, games and animes/toons have been a major source of stress relief for me over the past years. Not only they provide some much needed distraction from the stressful work routine but they also help me exercise my imagination. You can get so many ideas while playing those I started carrying a small notebook with me to make sure i don’t forget them for the future.

I probably mentioned this on a previous jornal or on one of my drawings, but for the games/series I really like I tend to make some fan characters and my lead girls who are usually based on myself in order to Interact better with the plot/story and characters as well as for roleplay purpouses.

Either way, the reason i’m writting this is because i felt like sharing some of mine currently favorite games/series with you guys as well as make some introductions of my lead girls for each one so you guys can have a sneak peak of what i’m trying to work with. I have no idea when i’ll draw them though, so expect the unexpected.

So without further ado, let’s get to it:

Saint Seiya – One of the best animes ever, in my humble opinion. Greek Mythology, astrology, epic fights, wicked armors and amazing characters. What else could you want? While rather violent, it shows great character development as well lessons ya can carry for your entire life. Also it got a wicked fighting game soon to be released. Too awesome to pass it up.
My Lead girl – Daena/Dae: You guys have seen her quite often lately. An unexpected chain of events led her to meeting the five bronze saints and becoming the Apus saint and now she has to find out who she really is if she wants to protect her new friends, Athena, and the world, from the growing evil. 
Personality: Friendly, resourceful, low self-steem, reckless.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles – Mutant Teen Turtles trained in the way of the ninja by a mutant rat that fight na evil ninja organization. That’s the main setting, but it also deals with things like Family, growing up, finding your place in the world and honor. Both 2003 and 2012 series approaches these matters and make you relate to our heroes in a half-shell.
My Lead girl – Tiffany/Tiff: The eldest adoptive daughter of a Young ninjistu practioner and friend of Master Splinter, Tiffany has known the turtles since they were toodlers. When she and her siblings become mutants, tragedy strikes her Family. Master Splinter and his sons take them in and now Tiffany vows to become a true warrior to protect her new life and Family.
Personality: Caring, level-headed, blunt, overprotective.

Kingdom Hearts – An unlikely combination of Disney and Final Fantasy that turned into some of the most amazing and complex storylines ever. Watching a goofball like Sora grow into a hero without losing what makes him such a lovely character... It’s inspiring.
My Lead girl – Dashielle/Dashu: An in-training keyblade wielder from Daybreak Town, Dashu was quite adept in using it to battle the darkness all over the worlds. However a mission gone horribly wrong caused her to reject the keyblade and so she sets out on a journey with a ragtag group of friends to find a new path for her life. Ironically that leads her to an adventure alongside another keyblade wielder.
Personality: Empathic, Honest, Stubborn, Sarcastic,

Sonic The Hedgehog – A videogame icon. Even though people seem to only complain about the games more than anything nowadays, the blue blur always has a special place in our hearts. Never giving up, Always rushing out to face evil to protect others. Sonic may be a free-spirit, but he’s also one guy you can Always count with.
My Lead girl – Tessie/Tess: A genetically enginered girl created using human and Wolf DNA, created to be a weapon, Tessa was rescued by a secret agent and raised as a normal (as normal as you can get when you have Wolf ears and a tail) girl that also plays on a rock band. When Eggman attacks her hometown to turn it into the new home of his empire, her band runs into Sonic and friends and together they team up to foil Eggman’s plans.
Personality: Creative, Clever, Shy, worrywart,

Megaman X – With the Discovery of X, Reploids, Robots that can think, feel and make their own decisions, are born. For unknown reasons, some Reploids began to act strange and attacked humans, being labeled Mavericks. To counter any possible threat, the Maverick Hunters were formed. This series is what that got me into drawing, writing and roleplaying. I don’t think i need to say anything else.
My Lead girl – Stardust/Star: This one you guys know well. One of my main characters, a girl turned into reploid in order to contain powerful magic/computer program that can either heal or kill others to prevent such power from falling into wrong hands. Some time after her awakening, she found herself under the care of the maverick hunters and become head of the field research team. She has a penchant for mystic and magic.

Still, there is hope. A fateful meeting leads to a quest to revive the seven genesis trees and find the truth about the mist once and for all. Seriously, this game is really underrated in my opinion. Unique combat system, amazing plot and interesting characters. 
My Lead girl – Diana/Di: Another oldie, but goldie of mine. Diana washed up ashore on Rim Elm one day with no recollection of her past life prior to that. Skilled with a saber and biron martial arts, she trains alongside her new friend Vahn to become a Hunter and support the village that took her in until a night changes everything and she sets out with him to reveal the truth of the mist, the seru and her own story.

Mysterious dimensional portals connect the real world to others more fantastic. A huge crossover game that actually started with NamcoxCapcom (too bad that game was never released outside japan) with an amazing cast of characters from some of the biggest names in game industry. Truly wicked.

One day, the village was raided by demons and all villagers but Miyu and other three girls were murdered. A sultry were-fox rescues them and then approaches them with the offer to train them to get revenge against the ones responsible by the slaughter. Some time passes but Miyu and her friends learn the truth: the demons that attacked their village and their alleged savior both worked for Ouma (an ancient organization whose goal is to bring chaos to the world) and it was all acted out as a plan to get the four to work for them in order to fulfill their evil agenda. When they attempted to escape they were attacked by the demons and cornered but just in the nick of the time warriors clad in red and black come to their aid. They were agents of Shinra (another ancient organization that fights against otherwordly threats and Ouma). After learning their story, one of Shinra’s top agents decides to raise them to be strong warriors of the forces of good. Miyu’s grudge against Ouma for ruining her and her sisters' childhood coupled with her resolve to honor the agent that raised her is her main drive to get to the bottom of the interdimensional phenomena and prevent the worlds from falling apart.

You guys might be asking though: how come My Little Pony, Persona, Pokémon or Digimon aren’t there. The answer is simple: while these are also my favorite games/series I don’t feel the same attachment to them as the others in order to create a character for each one of it. However they were source of inspiration for creating some of my characters for the above list.

Hope these tidbits of Info were interesting to you guys. I really recommend you guys trying these out.

Hopefully more art, drawn and written, should be done soon. Take care and see ya soon.
