It's the beginning of December. Where's that art I said I might post? Lol ; p
It's a pumpkin I decorated and brought to life! I really love them! I really want to have a photo shoot, soon; I just gotta work out a schedule with my dad.

Moana is in theatres! And it's a musical! I really hope my family can make it to see a showing some time this month. I'm really looking forward to this one!

Also, I'm disappointed that I missed out on seeing the Queen of Katwe in theatres. Gotta get my family to rent it as soon as possible!

I did finally see Finding Dory recently, though. Baby Dory is so cute and believable. I wish she had had more screen time! It was also really nice to see Nemo again, too.
The movie itself, though, couldn't seem to make up its mind on people with differences. It would say one thing and then show something very different. I feel some character portrayals and interactions really come off as insensitive to people with differences, specifically Becky and Gerald.
I wish they had not been played for comedy and had not been mistreated by other characters without the mistreatment being called out more. I wish they could have been portrayed sympathetically and taken seriously and treated kindly by more characters. I found it really incongruent and jarring that they were animated in a completely different stylization. I wish Pixar had animated them in the same style as the other characters that they seem to consider people.
All in all, I liked Finding Dory much better than the Good Dinosaur, but consider it some steps back from Inside Out.

In other news, I'll be building my custom desk mod with my dad in 2 weeks! I'm very hyped at the thought of finally having usable shelves and art space! Wheeeeeeeeeee! 8D
We'll paint it white first and then CMY, later. I'm also gonna buy some super cool art from some artists whose work I really admire. YAY! (\(^u^)/) And some frames, too. My room will be much more of a santuary very soon, and I'm so happy about that. : )

I've also been working very hard in GM: Studio. I can use alarms and local variables. Now I'm gonna focus on practicing loops. I think I specifically need "While" and "Do(...Until)" for my current project. I really hope they can help me tell the computer how I need the collisions to work.
***
Last but not least, a heads up: I put CMY Wilson in storage. It was a really fun learning exercise, but it does not have a place in my portfolio. I too closely copied Don't Starve's official design and in-game assets by Klei (the clothes change animation) and decided to put it away. Maybe I will replace it with a personalized composition and iteration in the future.

Thanks for reading!
