In the moment, you just knew; your feelings for him had never faded away.

It was as if the currents of time had kept your feelings for him hidden, carefully tucked away in a secret chamber of your heart. They lay dormant, patiently biding their time, while you busied yourself with the distractions of life after graduation. But the second you caught a glimpse of his aquamarine eyes, it was as if a dam had burst, unleashing a torrent of long-suppressed emotions that flooded your being.

Your friendship with Azul had been forged in an unexpected twist of fate, woven together by trust and mutual benefit. It all began when Jade fell ill after consuming a poisonous mushroom he had foraged on one of his hikes. In a moment of urgency, Azul found himself desperately in need of a temporary replacement.

At the time, the two of you were merely acquaintances, barely exchanging more than a few polite words. However, when Azul approached you knowing you had the skills to alleviate his mountains of paperwork, which he had seen from Crowley’s increasing spare time, you agreed to stand in for Jade as long as he would pay you handsomely.

Looking back, you’re so glad you agreed to help, and even more glad he had offered you the position.  

As you took on the role of Azul's secretary, you discovered a harmonious synergy between your skills and his needs. Your efficiency and attention to detail complemented his demanding work style, creating a seamless workflow that allowed him to navigate his responsibilities with ease. It was a delicate dance, a symphony of coordination and cooperation.

But amidst the professional arrangement, something unexpected unfolded. Beneath the facade of business transactions and financial arrangements, you soon found yourself enamoured with Azul's charismatic charm and intellect, his genuine appreciation for your support and efforts. Really, how could you not? You loved how he seemed so proud to others, yet he would show such vulnerable sides of himself when Floyd would push his limits. You loved the way his face would soften, the hint of a subtle, soft smile that graced his lips when you brewed his favourite tea just right. The genuine gratitude in his eyes as he whispered a heartfelt "thanks" echoed in your mind, warming your heart. And you loved how even after Jade recovered, he noticed how overworked and weary you were, the dark circles under your eyes deepening, and he let you rest on the couch in his office, his trench coat acting as a comforting blanket that smelled of him.  Time slipped away as you slept, the entire duration of the restaurant's bustling hours, yet he remained faithfully by your side to watch over you.

Oh, you loved him, without a doubt.

But you were also a coward.

You wished so dearly to express your feelings to him, to summon the courage and hope against hope that he might, just maybe, reciprocate your affections even just a little bit. But the sheer intensity of your emotions weighed upon your heart, casting shadows of doubt and uncertainty. Should you confess the depths of your emotions now, or would it unravel the delicate threads of the beautiful friendship you had painstakingly woven together?

In the end, fear had won the battle. The fear of rejection, of irrevocably altering the dynamics that had kept you so close. And so, after graduation, life took you on separate paths, causing you to drift apart, your feelings fading away into nothing but a fond memory of your school days.

Until now, that is.

Azul sits across the table from you, a vision of charisma and charm. His presence alone fills the restaurant with an undeniable magnetism. The atmosphere crackles with a sense of anticipation, mingled with a tinge of bittersweet nostalgia. The twins, Floyd and Jade, were supposed to join you both for this reunion lunch, but Floyd had conveniently fallen ill, and Jade stayed behind to look after him. It's as if fate has conspired to create this moment, this opportune time for the two of you to reconnect.

As you gaze at Azul, you can't help but notice how he incredibly handsome he is, even more so having matured over the years. His curly silver hair delicately frames his face, adding a touch of sophistication to his appearance. His cool blue eyes shimmer with a hint of shyness and fondness, drawing you deeper into his gaze.

Lost in conversation and the delectable flavours of the meal, your attention is suddenly drawn to Azul's tender gesture. His hand reaches out, moving with graceful precision, as he gently tucks a stray strand of hair behind your ear, ensuring it stays clear of the food. The touch is tender and intimate, a subtle act of care that leaves you breathless. In that fleeting moment, a surge of warmth courses through your veins, igniting a flutter of butterflies in the depths of your stomach.

But before you can fully savour the intensity of the moment, Azul's voice breaks through, laced with a hint of apology and concern. "Oh... sorry..." he mumbles. His hand retreats, as if realising the potential discomfort he may have caused. The fleeting touch is gone, but its impact remains as you feel your cheeks warm at his actions.

Oh, you're still hopelessly in love with Azul, just as you have always been.

A rush of emotions floods your being, creating a whirlwind of conflicting desires. You yearn to tell him how his touch ignited a flame within you, how it awakened feelings that have long been buried beneath the surface. But fear and uncertainty hold you captive, trapping the words within the depths of your heart.

"No, Azul," you say softly, summoning the courage that lies within, offering him a reassuring smile. "You didn't make me uncomfortable. Quite the opposite, actually."

His eyes widen in surprise, as if a weight has been lifted from his shoulders. A flicker of relief dances in his gaze, mingling with a renewed spark of hope.

"Oh... I'm glad then," he answers, his lips twitching in a manner that you know is his attempt to hide his embarrassment. A soft blush tints his cheeks, adding a touch of warmth to his already captivating features.

You feel the tension between you easing, and a sense of comfort settling in the air. The nervousness that had consumed the space between you dissipates, making room for a new energy, an anticipation of what lies ahead.

"Azul, you mentioned you're in need of a new secretary, right?" you inquire, seizing the opportunity to steer the conversation towards the unspoken desires that have silently entwined your hearts.

He nods, his brows furrowing slightly as he tries to comprehend the direction of the conversation. The corner of his lips quirks up in a curious smile, silently urging you to continue.

"Well," you pause, your voice soft but filled with determination, "do you think I'd be fit for the job?"

The room seems to hold its breath, waiting for Azul's response. His gaze lingers on you, his eyes searching your face for any hint of jest or uncertainty. There is a moment of silence, pregnant with anticipation, as the weight of your words settles between you.

A gentle smile graces Azul's lips, radiating warmth and affection. The flush on his cheeks deepens, adding to his irresistible charm. In that instant, he becomes the epitome of loveliness, a sight that captivates your heart and steals your breath away. His vulnerability, displayed in the gentle quiver of his lips, only makes you appreciate him more deeply.

Azul coughed gently as he covers his mouth, an attempt to regain composure and gather his thoughts. His gaze briefly averts, the vulnerability replaced by a sense of composed professionalism. His words stumble out, laced with a touch of awkwardness, but beneath it all, his true intentions shine through.

"W-well, obviously we're going to go through the proper procedure and an interview…" he stammers, the uncertainty in his voice betraying his attempt at maintaining a façade of formality.

But then, Azul's hand finds yours, his fingers intertwining with yours. The touch is delicate yet electric, sending a jolt of warmth coursing through your veins. The colours intensify, the air brimming with an electric energy that crackles between you. And when he speaks, his voice becomes a soothing melody, a sound that resonates within the depths of your soul, a melody you long to hear every day.

"But Angelfish," he says, his voice a tender caress that wraps around your heart, "you would not only be fit for the job, but you would bring a light to my days that no other secretary ever could. I can think of no better person than you."

His words penetrate the barriers you've built around your heart, shattering the doubts and fears that have plagued you for so long. A surge of joy and relief washes over you, manifesting as a bright smile that graces your face. Your eyebrows furrow shyly, a remnant of your school days, as if you're transported back to that time when everything was new and uncertain. But this time, there is no more running away, no more holding back.

This time, you would surely become his.

Animating!

Working on getting these scenes put together! Mostly trying to figure out my workflow and trying to simplify things. I need to go over lighting within ToonBoom Harmony and decide whether or not I want to pursue that. I may just want to stick with compositing in after effects.

Exploring My Growing Passion for Virtual Production in Animated Content

As I dive deeper into the world of animation, I’ve found myself increasingly drawn to the possibilities of virtual production, especially for creating stylized or anime-inspired content. This interest has been fueled by the breathtaking visuals and intricate worlds seen in games like Genshin Impact and Zenless Zone Zero. These projects exemplify how cutting-edge technology can bring fantastical universes to life while maintaining an expressive, hand-crafted charm.

Virtual production is revolutionizing the way animated content is created, blending real-time rendering, motion capture, and dynamic lighting to streamline workflows. For someone like me—working toward a distinctive aesthetic with my friends in Academia Studio—this approach feels like a natural extension of my passion for animation and storytelling. The allure lies in the ability to iterate quickly while maintaining artistic control, enabling both efficiency and creativity to flourish in harmony.

My vision for adopting virtual production techniques leans heavily into stylized visuals reminiscent of 3D anime or painterly styles. Artists like Mayoebifly continue to inspire me with their ethereal, cel-shaded designs that balance detail and simplicity. Likewise, videos like this breakdown of stylized shaders reveal how tools and techniques can bring seemingly 2D designs to life in 3D spaces. The interplay of light, texture, and motion in these works showcases how virtual production can achieve high levels of immersion without losing the essence of an anime aesthetic.

What excites me most about virtual production is its ability to merge worlds—combining the painterly quality of traditional animation with the flexibility and depth of 3D environments. This is particularly appealing for stylized storytelling where mood and atmosphere play crucial roles. Imagine an intricate chase scene through a neon-lit cityscape or a serene moment in a fantastical meadow, all rendered with stunning, real-time accuracy while retaining a hand-drawn feel.

For my future projects, I envision a pipeline combining tools like Maya, Blender, Unreal Engine, and real-time rendering engines. While I’ve started exploring lighting setups and shaders to create non-photorealistic rendering (NPR) effects, I’m eager to dive deeper into workflows that enable interactive environments and seamless transitions between cinematic moments and gameplay-like sequences.

I see virtual production not just as a tool but as an opportunity to push boundaries. It’s about creating immersive worlds that don’t just tell a story but invite the audience to live it. With every experiment and exploration, I’m stepping closer to bridging my inspirations with my own unique voice—crafting animated content that feels both innovative and deeply personal.

The journey is just beginning, but I’m thrilled by the possibilities ahead. Whether it’s a small test project or a full-fledged series, virtual production is the frontier where technology meets artistry—and I’m eager to carve my path in this space.

April 18th, 2024: Embracing Confidence, Focus, and Efficiency in Business and Finance

As we move through April 18th, 2024, a shift in celestial energy unfolds. Let’s explore how the Moon’s transits can impact business and finance, offering insights for harnessing this dynamic flow.

The Moon’s Farewell to Leo: A Confidence Boost

The morning begins with the Moon in Leo, still carrying the influence of yesterday’s fiery energy. However, a harmonious aspect offers a positive send-off:

Moon Trine Sun (Positive): This supportive angle fosters confidence, leadership, and a sense of purpose. It can ignite a drive to achieve goals and take action.

Business Implications: This is a good day for presentations, pitches, or launching new initiatives. Leverage your team’s collective confidence and enthusiasm to propel projects forward.

Financial Implications: This is a positive influence for making decisive financial decisions based on thorough research and a clear vision for your goals.

Moon Enters Virgo: A Shift Towards Practicality

Later in the day, the Moon enters meticulous Virgo. This marks a significant shift in energy:

Focus on Details: Virgoan energy emphasizes organization, efficiency, and a critical eye for detail.

Actionable Plans: The urge to translate ideas into concrete plans and processes takes center stage.

Harnessing the Virgoan Influence:

Business Implications: This is a good day for tackling administrative tasks, reviewing budgets, and streamlining processes within your business. Focus on improving efficiency and fine-tuning existing projects.

Financial Implications: This is an excellent time for financial planning, reviewing investments, and ensuring everything is in order. Consider budgeting strategies and optimizing your financial portfolio.

Aligning with the New Energy:

As the Moon settles into Virgo, the focus shifts from the broad strokes of Leo’s ambition to the meticulous details needed to make those ambitions a reality.

Embrace Structure: Develop clear plans and establish efficient workflows within your business.

Prioritize Organization: Streamline processes and ensure all aspects of your financial planning are well-documented and organized.

Focus on Practicality: Ground your ideas in reality and ensure they are supported by a solid foundation of research and planning.

In Conclusion:

April 18th offers a unique blend of outgoing confidence and meticulous attention to detail. By leveraging the positive aspects of both the Moon’s trine with the Sun and its entrance into Virgo, businesses and investors can use this day to solidify their vision, establish clear plans, and take concrete steps towards achieving their financial goals. Remember, a healthy balance between ambition and practicality is key to success.

The time has come to seize Sales Automation and redefine your lead generation journey.

What a week. Extreme conflict at work that I had to coach my team through and also intervene in which at times, made me feel nauseous. They worked through it though, I’m proud of them. The partners who have issues have valid frustration which is pushing all of us to act differently and think differently, making changes to a long-standing workflow that’s been rigid and inflexible prior to now. I had my team put the manager who owns the workflow together with the partners who are so frustrated by it, instead of my team bearing the brunt of their anger and then acting as a middleman between all parties to change it. It’s hard to get out of that habit because they are accountable for the product made within it. So they set up a meeting and I asked them to say nothing and just let these two teams hash it out. It was tough but everyone did what they said and surprise, surprise, the business partners weren’t as disparaging of the workflow as they were with us. It was ultimately, very productive and we are in a good place. Shirley my coach said that sometimes disharmony is needed to get to even greater harmony.

Speaking of disharmony creating more harmony, I finally took the leap and allowed Peach out for extended periods of time with Minnie this morning. They all eat their meals in the same room and this morning, I let Peach stay in the living room. Minnie usually wants to go outside when I’ve done this before, but not this time. Peach still jumps on Bud, I think she sees her as prey so I try to distract her but not punish her for that behavior because she’s just a kitten who actually did have to hunt for her dinner with her siblings so she’s just doing what she knows what to do, though it is really stressful to see Buddy wanting to get away like she’s a victim and it makes me not like Peach very much. It triggers this helpless feeling like I can’t control an abuser.

But Minnie puts up with absolutely no shit. I’ve noticed that when Minnie is outside, Peach sits where she sits. I think it’s territorial? Peach was not the dominant cat with her siblings so this is very strange to see it play out now. Minnie immediately climbed up into her spot and when Peach ran up to her, Minnie’s growl was menacing and I swear to God, it would scare a burgler of the house. Peach kept it up with the jump scares and charges and so did Minnie, swatting her hard when she kept jumping at her. Instead of immediately grabbing Peach, I went outside, they have to work this out themselves and I have to trust that no one is going to die. That I didn’t do something to harm them (another old trigger that has nothing to do with them).

Peach followed Minnie to my bedroom where they both went under the bed, Minnie hissing and growling so intensely. My worst nightmare, a cat fight under my bed where I can’t grab anybody. I walked out, literally shaking from anxiety. I turned the TV on and started watching the Great British Baking Show that has such pure, good vibes. I lowered the volume, and there was silence. Then growling, then silence. 10 minutes later, Minnie walked into the living room, tail high, ready to go outside for her routine sun nap.

When I was watching this all go down, I was happy that Minnie was in control, like she was protecting all of us. I was saying to myself “yeah, get her. Punch that bully. Do it again.” Like she was in charge, setting the rules, protecting us from harm.

All of this is about me. All of it. Peach isn’t a bully and Bud isn’t a victim. All of them are reflections of aspects of myself. The feelings this is bringing out in me in ways I’ve not been able to access is pretty miraculous, and what I am learning and letting go of feels almost supernatural. I’m a different person than I was three weeks ago, shaking like a leaf to even let her come within five feet of Buddy. Now this.

Onward and upward.

Syncing in Asynchrony: Top Asynchronous Messaging Tools for Team Collaboration

In the modern-day workspace, collaboration and communication are vital for any team's success. Asynchronous messaging tools have emerged as a boon, allowing team members to communicate effectively regardless of time zones or differing schedules. Here are some standout asynchronous tools, including ScreenRec, which have revolutionized team collaboration.

ScreenRec: The Visual Communicator

ScreenRec reshapes the way we think about asynchronous communication. Instead of text-based messaging, it offers a platform where you can quickly record your screen, add voice-over or annotate it, and share it instantly with your team. This visually interactive method of communication ensures clarity of information, making it an excellent tool for remote and flexible workspaces.

Slack: A New Age Bulletin Board

Slack is a well-known asynchronous communication tool that enables team members to send messages, share files, and create distinct channels for specific projects. It integrates with many third-party applications, amplifying its versatility and making it an essential part of many teams' workflow.

Microsoft Teams: The Corporate Collaborator

Microsoft Teams brings together chat, meetings, calling, and Office 365 apps in one shared workspace. Its compatibility with a host of Microsoft products makes it an obvious choice for organizations heavily reliant on the Microsoft ecosystem.

Trello: The Organizer's Dream

Trello takes a different approach to asynchronous communication, focusing on project management and task coordination. It's a collaboration tool that organizes your projects into boards, making it clear what's being worked on, who's working on what, and where something is in a process.

In Summary: Asynchrony for Harmony

As we embrace a global and flexible work culture, asynchronous messaging tools like ScreenRec, Slack, Microsoft Teams, and Trello have become indispensable for team collaboration. By allowing team members to communicate effectively on their own time, these tools are breaking down barriers, ensuring teams can work harmoniously no matter where they are. Embracing these tools can lead to greater productivity, more flexibility, and ultimately, a more effective team.

"Rules are made to be broken!"

I was working on another piece but I was really struggling with the background; I couldn't seem to get anything right. In a bout of frustration, I started sketching random poses, and the end result was this pose shown by Stelle. I really connected with this one, my workflow was very harmonious and I was able to easily jump from finalizing the sketch to applying shading and light. The legs were the easiest part of this process; mentally, they stuck out the most to me. They are in the foreground and occupy half of the pose, so I guess this probably why.

In spite of that, I did struggle with some parts. My struggle with shading and detailing hair has now been overcome and replaced with leather, I am not a big fan of how light reflects and scatters across it. I personally find my execution quite unsatisfactory, but frankly, I don't have the braincells to bother fixing it. I'm also unhappy with the eyes, they look like a cross between real-life eyes and more stylized, anime eyes. Combined, I think this creates an uncanny appearance to Stelle; she looks like she is only half-awake. Two more items to put on my to-learn list, I guess.

The mental image of firefly staring up to see the shadow of a baseball bat over her struck me one day. I flew to the computer and made the second image. I have no other words to speak about for that thing.

Overall, it was a week and a half from start to finish, actually only a week if I don't count rest days. I think I was really able to expand on what I learnt in my previous work, so even though there are obvious flaws, I would consider this a success.

Created this “moon morph” over the past few weeks for a new animation project. Trying out this workflow from paper (I still prefer drawing on paper with a pencil), clean up in Photoshop then importing the layered .psd file into Illustrator for further tweaking. The animation was ultimately rendered in After Effects but maybe I’ll figure out Toon Boom Harmony for this project. Also looking at drawing tablets to quicken my workflow.
