aaaahhhhh. I'm properly stressed out. Just one more painting left to do before the deadline.  
On a different note, I've always wanted to ride a sea turtle. They are such magnificent creatures~ 
If you could ride on a sea creature without worrying about safety or practicality, which creature would it be?

What a great answer! I'm admiring the whole confronting your fears by riding on them spirit you've got going on there! 
But if you want the under water ride of your life, a shark or dinosaur would do the trick for sure. 
Cheers to that imagination of yours!

Hey Vi

Sun, nature and sea. A delightful combination to tell a story through a children's book . I'm sure the last piece will complete the set

Have fun riding your sea turtle

Hey Mangustin,

There are actually 10 paintings that I have to submit for the competition, 
and I'm grinding my brain to work out the composition for number 10 right now. 
It's finally coming together after a whole day of bad sketching....bahhhh... 
I'd love to hear what you think about the story once I'm done uploading it~ 
You always have insightful things to say.

You're also making the story? That's incredible! Be sure I will give you my thoughts on it (I love child stories )
I'm fascinated to see the other pieces! I believe that as you go through ideas you have to come up with more creative ones so you don't find yourself repeating one another
See you later

Wooot! I've submitted my entry!! So happy to feel like I can breathe again  
Yup, I'm also making the story. The competition only allows me to submit 10 paintings, 
but I'm going to continue adding more pages because I think the story would benefit from more transitions. 
How have you been?

Hey Vi

I've been doing well. Joined an aikido dojo which has been lifting my mood up quite a lot and tomorrow is my first day at University . Other than that not much has happened.

Have a great day and keep the story going!

Wow, that's a real neat hobby to pick up! 
Exercising does help to refocus the mind  
And of all things, martial arts too! I'm excited for you~ 
What have you learned so far? 

How is is university life?
I hope you're meeting some intellectually stimulating people. 
I liked university infinitely more than high school--
people tend to be much more comfortable in their own skin, 
are more diversified in their interests, 
and more accepting of differences. 

Have a lovely day

Hey Vi ^_^

My University life has been going well I would say. Unfortunately I haven't found much difference from my high school experience. But at the very least it's nice to have something to stimulate your mind while also learning new stuff~
And as for martial arts I've been doing great! I'm definitely a much more practical person than I'm a theoretical person.
I would like to describe to you what I've learned so far but I find it difficult to convey the technics through a text box xD
(I'm not sure why my font changed all of a sudden lol)

Not much has been going on for me besides these as they take mostly all my free time
But it's better than having nothing to do with your free time!

Also, I really like the Page 5 of Catch and Release. They keep getting better and better

Have a super ultra wonderful day while listening a cool song from 90's~!!

Hey Owy, 

Hahah, I know what you mean by it's hard to describe the ideas and movements behind martial arts. 
I practiced Chen Style taichi for three years before I gradually parted ways with it, 
because I kept hurting my knees, and knees are not something you want to mess around with, let alone mess up. 
Thence, I've moved on to the more popularized eastern exercise, yoga.
I'm horrible at it due to my inflexibility, but that's probably all the more reason for me to continue practicing it.

Which classes do you enjoy at university? I found psychology and art history classes enjoyable,
although I had to memorize literally some hundred slides for every art history exam. 
I even took a modern dance class my senior year   

enjoy your 90s jam~ Music was more soulful then.
