Also a thought Ive had to keep myself going lately....
We are not inherently evil I don't think. I guess it would be expected that any species which is on this path of evolution would be faced with this situation. Call it a right of passage maybe? I imagine (or hope) that we will mature from this. But maybe at the price of the planet? Or at least a lot of lives*. Its the 1st time we've ever been posed with a situation like this so its a very exciting, scary and crucial time to be alive. So Ive resolved that the adventure Ive always sought lies in my role which I need to play.
Hmmmmm, I had some good thoughts about this but now I'm too hungry to think properly........ :[

Trying to decide
I'm watching a bunch of environmental films: carbon nation 2012 a time to change, the age of stupid, the inconvenient truth. Theres a bunch more on my list but these are the these are the ones I wanted to see the most. I'm trying to decide the order I watch them in; depressing hard fact films 1st, followed by optimistic alternate energy films after. I've also got another environmental film "valley of the wind" which I think would be apropriate to watch last; both heartbreakingly sad and warming at the same time (I imagine this would be the case as most Miazaki films are).

Seriously
IVE BEEN DRAWING LIKE A MANIAC, woop's caps. No really, Ive been doing allot. In fact I'm taking a break from one of my 1st inking attempts right now. Ive just been too unorganized to arrange a scanner or something to get everything in.
Not sure if I mentioned this earlier anywhere but I'm specifically keeping away from any form of digital illustration because I really just want to master traditional illustration skills. Its a valuable skill and training technique Ive neglected my whole life. I guess I'm doing it now as appose to waiting another 26 years :p
And a note to my future self..... If you achieved your background goal ( you know what it is) good shit!! If you didn't, just keep going hard core and living life to the extreme, you've got things pretty nailed.

Update
So Ive finally drawn out 3 of the main characters. One them is almost how I imagined, but another is bang on, I was really happy with it. I still need to sort out some hardware to get them online, but for now their residing on my wall next to my desk to keep me motivated. I want to write up some character profiles to flesh the characters out even more, but I think ill wait till I can upload them 1st.
As for what I'm doing next, I think I need to do some more characters from different levels of the society. And perhaps a better illustration of the building they live in. I have several already which I like. But their only scribbles at best, and I also haven't really explored the potential design as much as I should (it being a major part of the story).
Things are going good, accept for some of he worlds current problems.
