Seasons Greetings

Wed Dec 25, 2013, 5:28 PM
Hello everyone,

I've not been around in what seems like forever, but rest-assured... even if I'm barely around anymore, I am active in something and I'm still doing very well (at times better than well).  And I extend the same wish that everyone that has followed me is also enjoying themselves this time of the year, and can enjoy company with friends and family!

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays, from this crazy pig. ^v^

And I'm coming empty-handed here on Deviantart, but here's a little blast from the past that's worth reading again....  ^^

RIP Inspiration: 2006-2014Hello everyone,
I hadn't realized it at the time, but November of last year was actually my five-year anniversary on DA, when my old forum-pal :iconbellacielo: convinced me to keep on drawing here after I had unceremoniously left the old OS-tan Forum.  Roughly 2-3 years earlier, I had arrived at that place as a means to practice digital drawing, a craft that was so new to me then (and aided in large part by that wonderful vector drawing program Inkscape, which was also brand-new to me at the time). It seemed like only yesterday when I drew the lovely Amiga-tan, my first OS-tan, first vector drawing (with some Photoshop editing mixed in, since I still used that dastardly program at the time), and first illustration of any kind that approximated the vision in my mind...

And from then on, as my gallery stands testament, I did not stop drawing or creating or working hard to build an artistic persona I could be
More Fanart!!Yay!  I continue to get random SDC fanart!  :D
Here's an adorable submission by my good friend :iconcayfie: who decided to pair CC, DD and The Boyfriend with her cute OC Moonchaser.  Technically the two worlds should not collide, but some dimensional rifts are to be expected, of course.
Cay is also a great traditional artist and aspiring vector artist, so give her and her works lots of love!  Thank you!!  :D
I See Light at the End of the Tunnel...Rumors of my absence have been greatly under-exaggerated. XD
This is how I feel after the last few weeks...
Initiate Camelia ProjectWell well, it's been a while since my last update.  In between that time I've had quite a lot to do at work, and still do to some extent.  I even had to revisit Central Florida yet again, and much to my chagrin I had to stay at a far worse hotel this time in pretty much the middle of nowhere, so that was two weeks of lifeless droning away at both the local branch office and the crappy hotel room, with perhaps dinner and the occasional minecraft game to keep my sanity.
Oh, and playing around with my new Chromebook Pixel with Crouton... (how else could I play Minecraft in the middle of nowhere?).  :P
But it was shortly before this time... in fact during my last journal entry... that I started to give serious thought into reviving an old series.  It is in fact two years since our old visual novel CameliaGirls was terminated, and I started switching gears to get my mind off it for a while (ponies were a good distraction).  But even then, I never gave up on some of
Mega Nostalgia Trip!Hey all!
Not SDC-related, but still a nice pleasant blast down memory lane... and more relevant now given recent developments.
Anyway, good ol' :iconane-h: has decided to brush off the old source code for my former collaborative visual novel CameliaGirls and packaged it to the Android Play Store using the latest Android-compatible version of Ren'Py.  So now it is freely available to download for all Android devices:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.nekoCAT.CameliaGirls
I even played through it just now... clearly it hasn't aged well, but it was a collaboration and it was deeply rooted in Indonesian culture with an eclectic dash of Japanese Anime-references and some technological nods.  As Ane-H noted, it is the spiritual ancestor of Sun-Dried Cherries in many ways. 
Granted its' not really a "game" in the sense it was never finished and hence has no branching storyline like most normal v
Sun-Dried Cherries Fan Club!!!Well it finally happened!  Sun-Dried Cherries has its first fan club, courtesty of the great :iconane-h: who was nice enough to set this up.  It's been suggested to me several times to create such a deviantart group, but for one reason or another I never got around to it... perhaps because I felt SDC's success was truly contingent on how much traction it could get from fan creations and initiatives.  [in other words, unless someone else does it without my intervention, I'd really just be tooting my own horn]  :P
So there we go... Thank you Ane-H and thank you all for helping my experimental side project survive and flourish in ways I never imagined possible!  ^___^
I'm listed as the co-founder for now, but because of work I haven't really sat down to learn how this and that works in this group yet (though I still have some experience from the old CameliaGirls group).  You can check up with Ane-H as far as joining, since it looks to be open for the public
Of Pavers and KamadosHey hey,
Long time no write, I can't say as there's been a lot going on virtually as there's been way too much to handle physically.  A high-impact project at work necessitating another trip to Central Florida later this month.  More remodeling at home, the kitchen is all a big giant mess right now.  The deck's been stripped away, and I got a nasty sunburn the other day while leveling out the ground to put on some pavers.  The last remaining boxes of mine are unpacked, and in one of them I even found an old rebate card that went unactivated... thank goodness it hadn't expired yet!  :D
And soon I'll try my hand at the world of BBQ pit mastery as I wait for my lovely new Kamado to arrive, which can not only be used as a smoker and grill, but also as an improvised tandoor as well!  I'm generally VERY slow at cooking, so a slow cooking method is up my alley.  ^^
Almost nothing art-related due t
Clubbin'...And I don't mean baby seals [you monster].  ;)
But being stuck in Central Florida with bad internet connection is not as bad as it seems, not when you have plenty of friends in the area.  So after work I usually go out to eat and hang out with friends, and more so over the weekend when I had an absolute blast taking a group to go see Pacific Rim in IMAX 3D, and then hitting up Universal Studio's City Walk for a long night of singing, dancing, drinking ,eating and of course clubbin'.  Compared to my first time here, I'm practically never bored.  :)
Even during off-hours, I spend my time exploring the area, hitting the gym for some long over-due strength training, catching up on some reading and music, and generally chillaxing.  Not much in the way of Minecrafting or drawing though, but the next SDC arc will be a hefty one, so a lot of preplanning is necessary.... chances are I won't release the first strip until this weekend when I'm back home.  ^^
Becau
I.O.U....a proper journal entry.  :P
Had to go to Central Florida on business again.  Internet access is spotty and time is scant, but at least I've been having some fun on the side.  ^^
Posted up an "anniversary" SDC comic, so enjoy!  ^.^
[the Pilot was first posted on 7/29/2012, although the original concept sketches for CC and DD were done on 7/23/2012, with various stories scripted up ahead of time on 7/26/2012 or so.  I wrote enough stories to cover 70 comic arcs, plus a few additional ones added since then.  :)

Timelapse VideoHello all :wave:
I'm still alive.  I know I have not been very active here lately.  My daytime work has been ridiculously busy for the past month or so and that wont change for the foreseeable future.  Still, could be worse I guess......  
Just wanted to pop in briefly to announce that I have completed my first ever timelapse video.  If you have followed my work for a while you will know that one of my favorite places to go and image the night sky from is Mt Buffalo near where I live in Australia. I recently put together a collection of timelapse sequences from Mt Buffalo that I have gathered over the past few years. This is my first go at putting together a video like this. I'm much more comfortable just doing still images. I hope you enjoy it. 
As always, please feel free to share and make sure you watch in Full HD for best quality.
Cheers
