What's going on everyone? This is Ace Phoenix with another update journal entry but this one will involve some current ideas and art pieces that myself and my friend  Katerian have been collaborating with. So with that little intro out of the way I'll get down to the basics on what will I'll be doing moving forward.

First off since it's the summer of 2020 I'm trying to draw a few summer theme pics for this year as I done in the past couple of years on Deviant-art. Which the way I do this is by choosing characters that I didn't draw in swim shorts or even in a bikini and then draw them out for the summer of that year. The first time I did this was I believe in the year 2015 so yea been doing this for about five years now. Though this year I will use again characters that I didn't draw in bikini's such as Lizzie and Belle. Though there will be others as well as a couple characters from fellow artists may show up in bikini's for summer. I won't say who just you all have to wait and see when I get to them. Though as of right now after three summer pics I'll take myself a small break and work on something else which will lead into the next segment I want to talk about.

Which is of course reference sheets now these I been producing thanks to help of my good friend  Katerian who has been helping me create these amazing reference sheets you have see so far. The main reasons why I been creating reference sheets is because I found it a lot more easier to tell the backstory and bio of my characters then writing a in depth story on each respected character. Which is mostly one to three paragraphs for each reference sheet is what I 'm currently trying to keep at, and not overwhelm you with unless or filler information. The second reason is because it helps individuals who want to draw any of my characters they have a clear idea on how they should draw them. Though as of right now myself and my friend are taking a break from reference sheets to work on pics we need to work on as of current. On saying that maybe next month or later on there will be another reference sheet posting who would be? I'll keep that a secret and only those who follow me on Discord knows who is next to get a ref sheet.

Finally I'll say as of this moment I'm thinking about adding more story or context to my characters and overall story and where they all take place. Keep in mind there will be some characters met for a different in mind however I'm gonna take some baby steps to explain the story and setting out. As well I'm gonna try to also draw some gift art in the future so stay tuned in for all that as well we'll see who gets what in the future heh. I will also be redesigning certain characters as well as well draw other stuff as well like weapons, vehicles, star ships and so on. To offer more of a verity into what I draw and more of idea of the overall story I am working on as of so. Finally I'll end this with probably next week I'll be out of town with family on the 17th of this month I'll try to remain in contact either here or Discord but got ti wait and see what will happen next week.

So that's all I have to share with you all hope you all stay cool during the hot days of summer and please stay healthy during these uncertain times we are all in. This is Ace Phoenix wishing you all good day and hope to chat with you all later.
