Explorer – Week #1
One thing that I have always wanted to try to accomplish is to make an opening theme song to a fake tv show, mimicking the style of most anime openings. Here are some of my favorites:
Another thing I would like to do, and have more experience in, is to make a short graphic novel. Maybe do one chapter for this project? I prefer Japanese over American comics personally, but don’t have a preference when it comes to animation. I just happen to like their theme songs better than ours.

I also enjoy just doing illustrations; maybe do a series for this project, separate from the comic/manga style. Favorite illustrators? The CCAD graduate who published the book on dragons definitely. Here are some of my favorites from neondragon:

…Really, just her whole gallery. I’m also just plain obsessed with dragons. Shinerai is another dA artist whose designs I love.

…I guess I just really love interesting creature designs. Specifically of the reptilian body mold. Maybe I could do a serious of different yet related animal designs? I guess the question is, do I want to try a project that I’m not used to, or try to make something spectacular with tools I am comfortable with?
Hmmm…I’ll start sketching some things out.
