Hey all,

So I haven't been all that active art-wise - I figured out it's just one of those phases in my life and I'm not going to worry too much. Talking to my friend ~Chiazmo last night inspired me and I got my sketchbook out there and then, so I'm going to be making more progress on the Feritas graphic chat project.

News from my end - I've chosen to go to Huddersfield Uni on their Games Design course because it looks immense! Seriously they're one of the first games courses in the country and the work they produce - as well as student prospects - is brilliant. So roll on September (well, after I have a nice long summer holiday).

What with the easter holidays I haven't had alarm clocks waking me up this week and the result of that is remembering my dreams.

This morning for example I was a dragon who kept having to escape being chased by another dragon, and the flying was great - the wings felt really powerful. The reason for this dream is that I sketched a dragon for my friend before bed last night.

The dream from the other day has really intrigued me. First I walked with mum into a wild forest, then it became very stormy and soon we were the only people around, and quite protected by the trees. We held hands and danced around in a circle to celebrate, lol. Then, exploring an inside-outside mansion and grounds, I was looking after two ponies, a little caramel coloured female and a taller brown male with white blaze. The male pony was called Charlie I think, and seemed to have a clownish personality. The female pony who was really sweet and friendly was named Kismet, and I was calling her "Kizzie". Now I'd never knowingly heard the word kismet before, so I asked Kou if it was a real name and he told me it is a word meaning "destiny, fate". Wow, that's pretty cool. I wonder how that word entered my subconscious without my knowing, and I wonder if the dream means anything.

*random* I perma-dyed my hair red-purple and I love it

EDIT

OH! While I'm at it, I just remembered some game-related dreams I had a few nights ago. See what you make of these.

I was a Night Elf standing in a field in a beautiful purply dusky place like Teldrassil in looks. I remember this character had long purple hair and deep pink skin, and her name was similar to Amaya, I think. Well it rained, I mean it really poured, and I - Amaya - rejoiced and started dancing in glee, as night-time rain was my favourite natural event. But then I sighted an enemy man, resembling an imperial knight on a horse, that I'd recently helped to defeat on a Warhammer trial. He looked my way so I crouched low into the grass and imagined to assume the form of a frog. But he came nearer, so I had to shadowmeld! He was walking almost on top of me but didn't find me.

Then I dreamt I was myself, but in a Saints Row 2 way. Me and Kou (who also cloned himself into SR2) were trying to escape the police, so we hitched a ride on the train and wound up in a residential estate. I proceeded to enter someone's house during the night and search for things to steal, then the woman sleeping in there woke up so we took the TV and clothes-horse and fled before she noticed.

By the way, I created a new character on WoW based on my dream. She has to be a druid, rejoicing in nature and pretending to be a frog, lol. It turns out "Amaya" means "night rain" in Japanese, I hadn't remembered that but once again my subconscious obviously did. Of course it's taken already. =]
