I am SO SO sorry for being this late with a new Journal!
I'll give you a summary of... mostly everything I can think of that I did not inform you during 2014 and up till now.

OK... Well... last year has been one rocky year for me. At some point, I nearly gave up on everything. Thank God, the wonderful people I was surrounded by helped me hold onto my decision tighter, so, for now, I can say I will be working more towards becoming a professional artist.
You all know my ambitions to become an animator, or be a part of the team (frankly, the latter suits me more) - and you all know how that went last year... Hopefully, things'll look better this year. There is either the Faculty of applied arts, or the Studio "Iluzija" - but even if I fail to get into either I'm gonna try working via Internet, maybe even look up an online school or something. Hopefully I'll find a professor for private tutoring too, and I'll work on my own as well (using even the little knowledge I've gained + numerous tutorials; and I'll look up available books too), so there won't be any more dilly-dallying for me.
Never fear though - I won't abandon fan art, sculpting, photography or writing, since people like those works of mine as well (especially the first one - which kinda drives me to get better the most too) and I'll make commissions available (even though I don't get any 'customers'), maybe even requests (I wish I could work on them more - but there's something in that whole 'working for no profit' thing that demotivates me to be serious about them - so I always end up prolonging them, which tortures me as much as my requesters... :/ ... I guess I'll just have to try harder).
... Okay - scratch the 'maybe' - I WILL probably hold requests again, since I need something to practice on. -_-

... On another note - my Premium of one year has finally expired.
It's crazy, lol but every time I get a free Premium my dA activity suddenly drops to barely 30%. It's like some kind of a curse...

As to what I'm doing in the background: along with my normal life (which is getting better :D), I finally got my hands on "Kingdom Hearts II.5 HD ReMIX" (I was the lucky bastard that got the last copy they had at Game-S XD) and I was playing it like MAD these days... Of course, I went with "Birth By Sleep" first (always wanted to start the whole KH franchise with it), and for those of you who haven't played it... I can't tell you how amazing is to just be able to explore the worlds of Disney's classics and step into the so familiar places - like the castles, the cottages; the very rooms the princesses and villains resided... It's like rewatching the movies themselves for the second time! :heart:
Still playing YGO! - I got my hands on Tag Force 1 last year :D - and so far it's awesome, even though it's old (you heard that there's a brand new TF with all the protagonists from the Anime coming out?), and bringing back some good memories from the show I also watched for the first time during the beginning of 2014. :XD:
... I'm in contact with "School of Dragons" still... But haven't been playing Digimon that much. :/

... What else?...
Oh yeah!
Last year it rained like crazy. The country was flooded 2 times, and icy rain kept falling at Winter's beginning, and so much that it froze I think 3/5 of Serbia. :/ The trees cracked apart or fell down from weight, more than a few cables snapped and even the power lines bent like they were made out of cheap plastic! Oo
It's a really scary site in the mountain region - and in the lower level places it was windy as hell.
We had losses of power supply, water and even heating (luckily my hometown wasn't too much in danger, but the villages nearby suffered a lot - and a town near us was without all 3 for about 13 days!), but, thankfully - there weren't victims. Everything's OK now... though the agriculture is gonna suffer the most. :/
... On the brighter side - after the rain stopped, Jack Frost finally payed us a proper visit and we had snow during both New Year's Eve and Christmas. :D
It's all melted now though. :XD:

... I finally got back in contact with some old friends, :aww: and payed Belgrade a visit - and finally met my real live roommate (I hope she doesn't read this XD).
Found some cool discs, but I'm still saving for "Kingdom Hearts III" and PS4, so I was a Scrooge all year long. :XD:
Also, I'm currently waiting for the releases from November to come to the cinema here.

... As for my fandoms - Nigsea and I decided to actually continue the collab we had started and redo our mistakes. It's gonna be a process. lol
Currently I'm watching Nickelodeon's TMNT, YGO! Arc-V, and some old 2D animated shows I found online - "Peter Pan and the Pirates" and "The New Adventures Of Kimba The White Lion". Oh - and in spare time I started watching... *drumroll* .... "Dragon Ball Kai". :XD: Yes, believe it or not, I'm watching it! :D

... I am still and probably will be, off a lot on dA - but that's because I keep checking my e-mail, tumblr, etc... I get over 3,000 messages per day, so you can't blame me. :/ I keep jumping from one site to the next! lol
I can't say I'm not satisfied with it - more activity and more feedback that way - but you guys I should be contacting (and those reading this from outside dA too) I'm still neglecting. :/ I'm sorry. :(

Health-wise - I'm still not in top form, and I can't leave my hometown yet, but it's getting better. :) Just a few days ago, two friends of mine and I went for a long walk - and it was around 9 km for me (which is a new record lol), and I didn't even get sore muscles after that, so it's a miracle! XD (Thank God - I can still count on my legs.)

... And, to wrap it up (since I can't think of anything else to say :XD:) - I have no expectations for this year at all, but I'm gonna go with the flow and work on my own. Who knows "what's around the riverbend" and I'm sure some changes are going to occur for sure. :D

Well - till next time~! :D
And HAPPY ORTHODOX NEW YEAR! :XD:



(Here's a video for you for being a good sport and reading this till the end: ;D)
