Watchers

Hi everyone,

So I just got old today again, which is August 31. Would like to recap my 24th earth year so far via this journal.

* My work got included in the book EXPOSE 9 [link]
* 4 of my works are also included in the upcoming book EXOTIQUE 7 [link]
* Went to Indonesia. Thanks to my friend :iconkw3k: for being such a cool host.
* Went to Malaysia. Thanks to my aunt for touring me there.
* Went to Palawan with my friends. Really nice place. Gotta love nature, especially the clean waters with colorful fishies and fine white sand.
* Went to The Hundred Islands.
* Enrolled in a Culinary Arts course and finished it with the highest marks in the written exam. The cooking is another issue, I still consider myself a noob. :P
* Lost around 50 lbs and still killing myself with insane workouts to get a good body tone. Can do pull ups now, when I can't even do one before. XD
* Moved in to a new place.
* Some interviews/features, here and there.
* 4 games our team worked on got released. 2 being Collector's Edition and most of of it got to the Top 1 downloadable games including the recent one which is "Awakening: The Goblin Kingdom CE" which can be seen here [link]
* Left my job about 2 months ago and started my own business.
* Celebrated my pre 25th b-day in Golden Acres Home for the Aged. Fed more than 200 people. Thanks to my cousin who helped me make it happen.
* Got myself a DD today thanks to :iconmilyknight:

It was a very busy year indeed with it's regular ups and downs. Like when I bought my first iPod touch and less than a month it was stolen on my way to class. Nonetheless, thanks to God, family, friends and all those who support me in their own ways. Thank you.

COMMISSIONS

Since I have some time to do commission works now and pretty much used in a virtual setup. Just send me a note or e-mail me at michael@mictones.com (please do not send spam mail or such) and the price offer. I accept bank wire transfers and Paypal but prefer a transfer over Paypal. Would likely entertain commissions whose budget are more than 300 USD (price depends on the difficulty). I will not accept anything that contains sexual content, yaoi, yuri... you get the idea.

Once again, thank you everyone.

Cheers!
- Michael

Thanks. Left her a message to remove that image. Hope she complies or I'll be forced to let the mods take over.

Thanks again,

Life is like a clean canvas. We are the artist.
For every stroke and every color we use dictates the output.
It doesn't matter how we render it as long as we can proudly say it is our masterpiece.

The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious. It is the source of all true art and science.

Recently finished the Awakening Games. It's my first time to be so captivated by game art - the same way that reading Tolkien makes me feel. Reading through the end credits I was amazed that so many Filipino names were there. Had a hunch and searched dA - here you are - one of you :D
Thanks for creating such breathtaking scenes.
