A couple of things...

Journal Entry: Fri May 9, 2008, 3:05 AM
OK, I've just come to a couple of decisions, art-wise.
After my San Diego trip in July, I will get started on the next AMT feature-length, depending on what's happening at that point. Got a few ideas running round at the mo, so watch this space.;)
The second thing is, and this isn't gonna go down well with certain people, but I'm going to do a first and "retire" a character. I'm sorry, but I just don't get any enjoyment out of drawing Grug anymore. Creating him was basically my way of having a go at "macro" characters, but by drawing him I have a feeling people are getting the wrong ideas. I don't have an obsession or fetish for that kind of stuff, I just drew it for a bit of fun, and for a bit of experimentation. Haven't even drawn any Grug comics since December, and I can't even think of a decent Grug storyline, anyhow. And I want to concentrate on my other comics.
I'll draw one final Grug comic, then he will probably be relegated to lost/unused characters after that.

Just to let you know, really. That's all.

3 main facts about Walruses:

1)They weigh up to (a maximum of) 4,500 pounds of love.

2)"I Am the Walrus" by The Beatles is their international anthem.

3)Their only enemies are the killer whale (orca) and polar bear; damn you all to heck!

Don't worry, I'll offer you credit!! (I must) The entire theme is "Anthro," so I'm looking for furry creatures that you have (perhaps the green monster? Sorry, I don't know his name). I think it will be awesome if you choose!! Do you play any musical instrument?
~appleyard86:iconappleyard86: Apr 11, 2008, 3:24:11 AM
Sure, you can use on eof my characters if you want. As long as you give me credit for the character you use. I like the idea for the pic, btw.:nod:
