Hello everybody! I guess tomorrow is a big day for the Ena fandom. Not only because it will be Ena Day, but also because we will see a new trailer for Ena: Dream BBQ and I hope its release date.

And well, I think from that point on, the fandom will be transformed again like it was with the appearance of the full first trailer years ago. With the release of the new trailer, new details will be revealed about the characters, the upcoming plot and the world that we will have to explore.

Most likely the game is just around the corner and it will be out soon. So I'd like to leave a time capsule in this post when the game, when the (final most likely) trailer aren't out yet. To share with you how I envisioned the story of Dream BBQ while the game was in development and nothing was known about it.

Because I'm afraid I'll forget it eventually. And I don't want to forget.

I'm sure nothing I say below will be true and it will just be my fiction. But isn't that the beauty of it? To speculate, to theorize and make up your own plot, to invent your own world and think that something might be possible in the game? Just a piece of your mind? And rejoice if it comes true in the end. I'm sure some of you have done something like that, if not for Ena, then for another fandom.

If anyone is still with me and reading this, I really appreciate it! Well, what follows is me descending deeper into my mind!

Disclamer: Everything I have said is just my subjective opinion and thoughts! If you don't like it that's absolutely fine! I have no purpose to insult or demean anyone! Please let's respect other people's opinions and each other! ^^

There are actually so many ways to tell this story or how to start it. But all of these will either be too short or too detailed. I won't like the short version because it's devoid of details inprinciple. And many details are too overwhelming for my brain, and I'll worry that I've missed something.

So... I'm going for the middle ground.

But I will still say that Ena is not some misunderstood character or psychopath for me. (if we're talking about the regular blue and yellow version or Dream BBQ Ena) but creatures that have that physiology/biology. The emotions they feel manifest differently than they do with us. And they also manifest visually (change of face, change of voice depending on what emotion it is, negative or not, and so on).

As an example, as I was imagining it with my friend, it would look about the same if in our world the thoughts of a seller who is yelled at by an annoying customer in a store and seller's emotions were projected on their face and they voices their thinking out loud sometimes :)

For Ena's universe, that's normal. It's not something strange and incomprehensible for the Ena universe. As I wrote above it's just that kind of world. An abstract, webcore one. Which has its own laws and rules, characters and a huge unexplored world.

Also in my understanding the world of regular Ena from the animated series and Ena: Dream BBQ are completely two different universes. With a different world, laws, characters and so on.

Yes perhaps the basics of the world of regular Ena have carried over to the world of Dream BBQ, but also I'm sure a lot has changed.

My story holds on the fact that the main action takes place in a small Japanese town where Froggy, maybe Taski and many other minor characters from the game live. Next to this town is a huge advanced metropolis that is rapidly growing and developing because of the Japanese town and other settlements. Because they involved in some sort of industry? I think so. Next to the metropolis and Japanese town, there is a huge wasteland with a bloody lake stretching out next to it.

At some point, in the small (Japanese) town, Human Ena will appear, who has escaped from somewhere and doesn't want to go back. After many unsuccessful attempts to find out where she's from or attempts to send her back Froggy agrees to let her live in his house in the attic on the condition that she will be useful and help him on his missions.

After a while of living like this, Human Ena discovers that her body is beginning to corrupt, the left side of her body gradually taking on a red hue and at one point the color almost consumes the entire left side of her body except for her head. This pauses her work with Froggy and Taski for a bit. But soon she is back again and helps Froggy and Taski in any way she can.

However, everything changes on that fateful day when Ena is sent alone on a mission to find contact with a pyramid and octopus-like creature (the character from the beginning of the first Ena:Dream BBQ trailer). Contact with this creature eventually goes crashing and Ena gets bulleted.

Ena dies.... Or does she? Because that Human's Ena red body corruption was actually a slow transformation into Ena's BBQ, and because Ena got shot her body transformed into the Dream BBQ version of Ena which is polygonal and we all know. Except without all of her memories of what was going on and what came before. Simply put. Evolving into a better version of herself Reincarnating into the Dream BBQ version of Ena gave herself amnesia.

So she woke up, looked at herself, looked at her surroundings. Asked what the hell was going on, decided to get away from this place. For some reason ( :) ) she caught the aggression of a pyramid monster, but Dream BBQ Ena successfully defeated it and went away.

From that moment Dream BBQ Ena travels to different locations of the world, she works part-time doing some quests and tasks. In some places she gains connections because of this, and sometimes she becomes a criminal in the public eye. And she moves from place to place because of that.

Eventually Dream BBQ Ena's life throws her back into a Japanese town many years later, expecting her to just stop there for a while, buy some supplies, and go on traveling the world. But definitely not expecting that this is the place behind her past.

Thank to all who read this all! I really appreciate it! I think there is still a chance that I can back to this and create some of art or something like that for it. But no promises haha.

It's time to summarize this year!

This post is more for me personally than for the blog, to track my progress, analyze and consider my mistakes. To realize what I was able to achieve in the past year and what I can achieve in the future. I am grateful to everyone who has supported me all this time! Every single person who signed up. Or just the ones, who visited my page, viewed my work, liked, reposted or left comments. It was all very valuable to me! Thank you for being with me this year and I hope to see you next year! Happy Holidays!

Next up, I'll be summarizing my blog for 2024:

Total we have: 4 artworks 3 animations 1 meme 1 post

I just started trying to actively blog this year. I tried to have some sort of regular schedule in my head and post at least once a month some art/meme or some other post to keep the blog active. The priority, of course, was artwork. Unfortunately, as you may have noticed I failed. the drawings were very few and with big gaps in between. The reasons for these gaps were many factors, from trivial laziness and personal matters to lack of time and other problems. There are also logical reasons for the lack of content - it's that I decided this year to learn how to make animations.

It was a bit of a spontaneous, though expected, decision. I just didn't think the time for it would come right then. I had some idea how to do animation. I always wanted to learn how to do it. I had drafts of animations I started that I abandoned because I didn't understand how to do them. I didn't have the strength or experience to complete them. So I abandoned it for many years.

But still... Somewhere around the end of 2023, something clicked in me. I wanted to do something more than a drawing. That now I had more experience and I had the energy and time. That I was ready to make my first completed animatic. Simple, crooked, with lots of mistakes. But it was my little full-fledged project that was finished.

I did all three animatics in three different programs. Sometimes using one with another, when I changed programs and persistently trying to understand how the new program works right in the process of creating an animatic. Until I finally chose one that I'm happy with for now.

“Love me Again” was the first animatic that was made in exclusively one program, which you can tell by how fast it came out compared to other animatics. Although it's also not as detailed or colorized in comparison to others. But it goes longer than the others combined, it has more frames and still looks neat even with that sketchy drawing. That's a measure of progress in my opinion.

What would I like to do next year?

- Set up an art schedule. I won't push myself too hard, but don't expect anything supernatural from me either. I'm going to try not to bog down the blog as much as I have this year. In fact when I saw the gaps I was horrified ahhh. I'm going to set myself a goal of not dropping the blog for more than two months. Meaning, something every two months I will definitely post.

- Start maintaining at least one more social media account.

- Organize my tumblr page (update my avatar, write bios, and so on)

- Start drawing holiday themed art for holidays (at least some of them)

- Start drawing artwork for other fandoms Yes, Ena has been my main fandom, but I'd like to step outside of comfort and try my hand at some other fandom.

- To continue to improve in animation and drawing I liked the end result of the year and how I've progressed and want to continue to do so from here on out.

There are many more small goals, but these are the main ones for now, so hopefully in a year from now when I read this I'll be pleased with myself. Hi Lucky from the future!) Even if all of these can't be achieved, it's no big deal. We do it at our own pleasure and at our own pace. If not this year, it will happen next year.

If anyone is reading this, thank you for sticking around until now. I hope you're having a good day! Thanks for listening! See ya!

Thank you for watching! The game isn't out yet, but I have some history of the game in my head that I'd like to share with you. And this video is just a small part of it. This animatic was made in a couple of weeks in a burst of inspiration from the music. I really hope you enjoy this because I can't wait to share this story of Ena BBQ universe in the future!

"- Evelyn..." "- Evelyn..." "- Why do we bother to stay..?" "-...Why are you running away?"

This is my first animatic on the Sky: Children of the Light Fandom. This story is based on the story of two skykids which are my OCs . While the first one have already gone through the whole kingdom to the end and have imbued with this world, the second skykid, when they fell, was enchanted and inspired by the stories of their friend's journey. But soon though they could not share the same joy, leaving them only disappointed. I wanted to do a full version of the animatic, but unfortunately even that part took too much longer than I had planned. Maybe someday it will come out of the “unfinished” state, but I won't promise anything haha.
