110,000, 500

When this pic was made, I had over 500 pics and 110,000 hits. Pretty nice still considering this is a Nido site. Ugh, basic Nidorina's arm looks strange. This picture includes a lot of characters who were around at the time. Assuming you already know which characters are mine, from the top left going clockwise there's Achikochi, Brett, Kagome, Puck and Fwoozles. Moffie is in the background being anti-social, Nidoking and Queen are furthest back because they're the most under represented on this site. Nidoran M & F fight because they constantly seem to tie with each other as far as art goes.

Aqua Bunny: 3rd Year Anniversary

On December 13, 2009, Aqua Bunny lasted three full years. And it was meticulous. The greater portion of the year was spend on rebuilding the site and re-establishing it. And yet, even statistically it's still better than 2008 was. Then again, so was 2007. Slow year? Anyway, some new things that you see today were established with the new site, such as articles and character bios. All in all, it's pretty much a fresh start. Follows consistent design from the first two anniversary pictures.

Aqua Bunny: 5th Year Anniversary

On December 13, 2011, Aqua Bunny lasted a whole five years. And holy smokes it was even faster than the last. Maybe I'm getting older, time seems to speed up when you're old. And I've been busy as all get out, which is beneficial only for me, but not really for the site. No, I'm not moving on, this isn't that speech (though I might be iRL, God I hope so).

Anyway, this time I decided to go a more symbolic route with the picture, to reflect the past year. What it means is that despite all the bright lights just ahead as far as new releases go on some media, I've been otherwise keeping everyone in the dark. If you weren't a part of the newsletter, you don't know jack, and if you were/are, up until a point I've kept people informed until I went into blackout-workathon mode. If I recall the whole fiasco with Mega Man Legends 3 (remember when I made that update? Check out the Multimedia section if you weren't around), Capcom hasn't really won back its fans by keeping people in the dark. And as I said back then, the last thing I'd want to be is to become a lot like Capcom has been towards Mega Man fans. So for that, I do apologize if the year has been really slow (though I warned this would happen last year), and for being so mysterious, but I don't want to make the mistake of announcing something WAY too soon (Poke Island Special Edition, for starters). And to those following the newsletter, you know how long this new thing's been in development. Almost to the point where for profit developers would be better off dropping the project.

So here's the deal. I'm 100% free of any other responsibilities after December the 18th. That may not last too long, so what I want to do is to make sure I get one thing showcased by or before Christmas. I've been riding along using two different calendars this year, the Chinese calendar and the Gregorian calendar. While I technically have some time left using the Chinese calendar, I'd rather say I at least had something to show for the international year of 2011. So have the stakes been raised? You betcha. But barring any unfortunate mishaps (and believe me, they happened, and yes, it was site related. I don't tell you these things though because I don't believe in scaring people if the problem can be solved, and solved it was), I'm ready for it.

Aqua Bunny: 6th Year Anniversary

On December 13, 2012, Aqua Bunny lasted a whole six years. And... my God, when was the last time I drew basic Nidos? Did I even do any regular Nido pics this year? That might be a problem.

What style is this, anyway? It's unique to these anniversary pics, that's a given. Chibi-Chibi really means a chibi of a chibi, so maybe this is just 'Chibi'. But then again, these aren't actually super deformed, and Chibi-Chibis are more of a derivative of Riri et. al.'s design. Maybe this should be called softened style.

Aqua Bunny: 9th Year Anniversary

On December 13, 2015, Aqua Bunny lasted a whole nine years. And you know, that's technically an achievement but I need a little more than that. Or should I say I would have liked more. Now, I've got a Christmas season animation in the pipeline as of this writing which should give this year something a bit more solid, and Dumb Big Sister, Stupid Little Sisterwas an experiment that I really enjoyed, but a few things I wanted to get finished, didn't, and I'm not sure where that time went (well, some of it was admittingly DBSSLS). I worked on several, actually, animated skits and shorts but none of them are in a finished state (actually, some are but they're part of a larger production so I can't say anything about them :X). I know perfectionism is a problem for why those aren't getting out faster, but there's also a lot of time sacrifices and I can't just give up all my time to AB.

Anyway, here's what I want to do next year. Forget worrying about what's new, let me just get everything I started finished. And I mean all of the backlogged stuff with exceptions to Caremla's comic (that's dead, guys, for those of you who are still holding on), and Rhythmic Pop'n (which isn't dead, but I do have to set aside currently, at least until I get everything else done). I'm going to divide 2016 into quarters just to see how I do, and to know when to start things and have them wrapped up. To start, I want to have She's One of a Kind, Kine's current story finished by the end of the first three months, and hopefully beyond just that story too would be really nice. The Tumblr page is better these days, but I'm really out of stuff. I've been stretching this year because I said to myself "the new gallery doesn't get touched until 2016 at earliest", so perhaps in February or so, there'll be more fan art (mostly mine, yes) like the way it was. I don't know what else to do. I still want to do a catch all character Tumblr too, but I'll treat that more as a personal reward for getting stuff done here, first, so I dunno, someone start pestering me about getting stuff finished. Not in the "I'm actually impatient and have no idea what kind of time goes into this stuff" sort of way but in a "how much headway did you make? Are you accomplishing any goals" sort of fashion.

Beyond that, there's two things that are new that I'd like to do for AB this year, as I think this starts year ten! I can't talk about them because it really depends more on outside factors beyond myself, so it's more of an "if" rather than a "when". That's all I'll say there, but I think both could be pretty cool, one of them possibly fun. I'll see about getting the wheels turning behind the scenes on that, and since it (again) doesn't require much input from me, I can keep working on finishing stuff up. So that's it for this write up. I gotta nail this now for year ten. Time to psych myself up!

Nidoqueen

Required Nidoqueen picture, except a bit more stylized. Also, I semi bordered the picture with her Mystery Dungeon quote. I used it because it's true. I've always found her to be more useful.

Courtship Ritual

When Nidokings look for a mate, they search through Nidoqueens and use their hardest dizzy punch! If they don't faint that means it is willing and strong! So that's my story on how they find their mate!

Nido Princess

This is what happens when you use a Moon Stone on a young Nidorina. That or it's one of Copy Nidoqueen's kids.

Grumpy Nidoqueen is Grumpy

I just did a search on DeviantArt for Nidoqueen art, only to find that over half of the results were drawn by people with inflation fetishes. To that, I say, 'Damn you, internet. Damn you straight to hell.' >:[
