Hello everyone! This is Danori just checking in with all my subscribers and friends of PMC. First off, how has everyone been since I have stopped being as active as I once was?

Anyway, I should probably get to the point, that being the fact that I am not as active anymore. I have basically stopped skinning, and you'll see an update to my texture pack here and there, but other then that I have essentially disappeared from the surface of the Planet (Minecraft). Now before you rage and begin throwing rotten tomatoes at my feet, I have my reasons for my absence.

- I have gotten a job. Its part time, so note so much (only 4 hours a day) but it still takes away from alot of my free time.

- Skinning is great fun, but honestly its a tad bit "low level" for me. Its just too easy. The space in which you work is too small and I am not learning all that much about pixel art by doing these skins. I would usually do the things I find most enjoyable (which honestly right now is painting, but skinning is close behind) but I really need to take my artwork very seriously these next few years, and I need to start challenging myself to be able to reach my goal of becoming a talented concept artist.

- I have picked up digital painting as you could tell above. I was terrible at first, but I've been painting a lot over the last few weeks and right now I actually just finished a painting a few days ago that is the photo for the blog. Those of you in chat that saw my first painting, you'll know I have improved. I'm actually working on another that's even better then that, but I don't like posting WIP's all over the internet because people are thieves >:

- I'm taking pixel art more seriously. I'm spending s bunch of time on pixel art projects because I'm increasing the sizes that I work at (maybe a 32x32 pack will come one day? :D) so I may improve.

- I recently released a texture pack and have been working on that. So if your subscribed, you'll know I'm still alive :D

- I'm doing the artwork for a game. Cant tell much about it or share any details atm.

- I just don't have time.

So that's why everyone.I will probably update my texture pack frequently the more I finish, and maybe participate in contests. I will probably have to give up my position as a mentor. Sorry to those that I was mentoring, and sorry to those that looked forward to my skins. I will post blogs showing my progress with digital art, for those of you that are interested, but my activity will definitely subside compared to what it once was. So yeah! Your all filled in. I'm not leaving so don't think this post is negative! Hope to hear from you all soon.
