Release.
I've decided to release Memoria on May 15th. I'm not really sure of the signifigance of the date; I googled and wiki'd it, and found all sorts of information. But none of it was really relevant. I guess in time, we'll see why. :P
I just found the most amazing song (with a less than amazing title), "Part 7" from the Iris OST by James Horner. I've never seen Iris, but I do like some of James Newton Howard's work; a few monthes ago I found this soundtrack when looking for songs about larks. (That sounds weird, but it's true).
Part 7 is WOW. It's about eleven minutes long, but it's absolutely beautiful.
It's music like this work that makes me get excited for what God is doing. I can see and hear Him so very clearly when listening to this song, and it's almost frightening in it's intensity.
Maybe most importantly (for readers, anyway!), I can see the ending of this comic even more clearly now. Not that I didn't know where it was going, but songs like this help me imagine it even more.
I need sight of an ending especially right now. I'm in the final two weeks of school; cruch time, and I have a huge review of my freshmen portfolio coming up. It's very easy to get caught up in the art world; in formal properties and intellectualism. Sometimes I wonder if my worth is determined by how well I can build a cardboard chair, or if I remember to consider shaping in my paintings.
I had a moment today, while I listened to that song, and it made me realize; it's absolutely ridiculous to be concerned about those things.
At the same time though, I do find myself increasingly apathetic, which is probably not good either. I prayed about it though; and I don't think God wants me to really stress out about my work, but wants me to be respectful in my apathy... if that makes any sort of sense.
Basically, I should give it a good try, but if it doesn't really work out the way I wanted it to, be respectful, and know that I'm not entirely useless. :P
So that's what I'm working on right now. Spiritually. Not Memoria wise. Not that there's a huge difference there, but you know, lol.
Anyway. I hope everyone's weeks are going well, can't wait to start posting pages!
