So if you read this, you might know
about what I am planning about for the future or not.
I am working on the manga, and won't show any major story anymore.
Until I finish it.
And to avoid plagiarism from any potencial company.
All my stories are mine, and I must now keep them secret.
Sorry if it disappoint some, but that means I am working on them seriously now.

I use many art styles and often get inspired by manga art and western art.
My actual style is not defined by one or two, I do as I like.
I use also references, like pictures of people doing skateboarding or kissing.
So that may affect my style.
But it is still me doing the finale touch.
I will rafine my skills through time and stop using a mouse once I buy my tablet graphic myself
and a new computer.
I never draw with a tablet graphic before.. So it will be odd to me.. Probably.
Lets hope things go on and I make my manga.
Kyle's story is just starting.
I have many arcs to do too.
Like making him skateboarding will be hard mostly.
I don't do movements in drawings often.
Yet, I think I am motivated for this though.
Anyway, here is a summary of a list of the arcs I planned.
And yeah, that summarise it.
I hope I won't get too busy in my daily life, I am in my 2 weeks of freedom right now..
After that I will go back to work in 40 hours each week..
April might be the moment I will start drawing panels, and chapters.. Maybe.

I make art for the sake of expressing myself.
But I also do some to tell a story behind it.
Like my character Kyle.
The message I want to give is that hope comes within ourself.
What I want him to glow in his mind and soul.
Is the fact you cannot waste your time indefinitely.
You have to work hard to achieve goals.
And your life matter more than anything.
That's the mission for me, to tell that life is good.
Even if there is obstacles in it.
And that when you have a hard time to deal with problems.
You can still rely on others to subsist.
Anyway, that's all I wanted to tell here.
Thanks and good holidays.
ZG.

Kyle is now 16 years old.
His skate under his feet and rolling.
He went to the first day of high school, at grade 10..
The autumn is fresh through the season, he is great in maths, english and science.
But he never feel accomplished..
It's like school is becoming boring after all that happened before..
Yet there is no bullies, and he can defend himself now.
But it's feel like something is missing..
Something that should matter to him.
Something.. But he cannot tell much himself.
He have a serious face all the time because of this,
even though after school. Kyle run on his skateboard
and go to the local park where he met his new friends.
Tim, Jess and Mike. They are from another high school..
They are three teenagers 1 year younger than him.
But he is the less experiemented in skateboarding still.
So they teach him out new tricks everytime, and he learn fast.
it's almost impressive to watch actually.
As Mike jokingly say Kyle might never do a Laser Flip.
Our hero ask what is it like, and they show him on the phone
a video that a guy does it exactly..
So Kyle stand on his skate, and roll.
And does it in one try.
"Yo, how did you do that? Is it the first try!?" Yells Jess, surprised by Kyle learning potencial.
They ask him to do it again, and he does it.
Still succeed, without effort.
"Damn.. " Says Tim all discouraged.
"I never learn that fast.." He says as Kyle look at him.
Then Mike tell him another trick, and Kyle try it out.
They stay in the skate park until it's 8 p.m
and then left the place to all separate afterward.
Kyle went home, holding his skate board and walking while the cars pass him.
He thinks about his life so far. How he manage to get to this way of being
so good at things.. But still, he felt like it wasn't much important.
Yeah, he love being with his friends.. Yeah, the gym keep him in check.
But he was still feeling out of touch in this world..
Like if something was missing..
What was important to him?
Maybe he will find out one day..
As he walk home, he turn in the corner of the street and suddenly bump into a girl..
She was around his age.. 2 heads shorter than him..
She have dark brown mid long hair, she wears a coat and a skirt.
Not really good for this season, but she was beautiful..
"Sorry.." She says.
Kyle look at her all surprised and says.
"No, I am sorry.."
She shrugs her shoulders, as she look down and walk pass him.
Kyle look a bit at her than he shrugs and go
home. Who was this girl..? He thinks to himself.
Time goes on, he pass the rest of the week doing things like school and skateboarding.
Until friday happen and he sees her once again. But this time at the park.
She walk in the parking and talk to a man talking with his buddies around his car.
She hugs him and left afterward.
Kyle noticed the whole thing.
When 8 p.m arrived, Kyle left his friends and go home.
Take the same route and bump into her again..
"Huh, damn sorry.." He says all confused.
But this time she was crying, and she almost yell.
"Sorry!!"
And run away, like this.
What was going on? Did he hurt her?
Kyle hesitate, but he decide to talk to her..
Ashe follow her steps, he notice something about her.
Her skirt was slightly ripped.
"Hey, are you okay?" He says as he grab her hand and she panic at the contact.
"Back off!!" She yells.
Kyle remove his grip from her, and says.
"Hey easy!"
She look in distress and glance at him like she was a prey..
Her eyes full of tears.
"I am not going to do anything wrong.. Please tell me what's going on." Says Kyle.
She hear him saying it, and for a moment. She look around and then finally tell him.
"You.. You are the guy from the other day.. Right?"
"Yeah.. Sorry if I bumped you twice.. It's my fault.." Says Kyle all shy, as he rub the back his neck.
She glance at him more properly. As she realise he wasn't a real threat to her and then she says..
"I am Claire.." She look away, crossing her arms and felt less anxious.
"I am Kyle.." He say and after a moment of both of them silent here, in the street. He asks her.
"Can I walk you with you?"
She look at him and say. "Sure."
And like that, he escort her out of the street and they went to the direction of his place.
Kyle felt nervous, he never did that before.. So he was all silent..
But he instinctively hang his arm, and she hold it.
Like if they were a couple now.
She then ask him one question. "You are living alone?"
Kyle react all surprised. "Hum.. No.."
She look sad at that respond, but then she ask him and stop.
"Are you a.. High schooler right?"
Kyle look at her, and said "Yeah why?"
"Mmh.. Too bad.." She says, and restart walking as Kyle follow her steps.
"What do you mean too bad?" He asks.
"Nothing.. It's just that I never though a kid might help me out these days.." She said all serious.
They don't say a word after that, and went to the house where he lives.
Kyle stop and she observe the house.
"This is your home?" She says.
"Yeah.." He replied.
"Who rise you?" She asks.
"My dad.." He answered.
She don't look at him at this moment, and think for a second.
Then she unexpectedly went inside and he followe her.
As they open gently the door, Kyle and Claire notice his dad was asleep.
And they go in his room upstairs.
He close the door, and she drop on his bed.
Kyle look outside of the window in his room and saw some menacing shadows walking in the street.
"Tell me.. What happened." He says.
And he turns his head to look at her.
Claire gaze at him, all sad to hear the question and she says.
"They tried to rape me.."
"They?" Says Kyle and he look in the window again to realise the shadows were gone now.
"Yeah, it was my friend." She say as her mind think about the moment before.
Kyle sit on the chair in his room and ask.
"Your friend did this?"
"Yeah.." She says and she explain everything.
That she was 17 years old, that she fugue.. And that she tried to make new friends and all the rest.
"Then I ran away.. And I met you.." She finish.
Kyle close his hands in anger, but then he remain calm after a short second.
"What's wrong?" She asks.
Kyle sigh and says.
"Nothing.."
He stand up and go right on take some blanket and put it on the floor in his bed room.
"What are you doing?" She asks.
"I am making my bed.." He says while doing so.
"But you have one bed here.." She tells him.
"I know, you going to sleep in it.." He say calmly.
She look at him and rise an eye brown.
"You really gonna sleep on the floor.. For me?" She asks.
"I am not a pervert." He says.
She frown her eyes and open them wide after realising what he just said.
"Ahh.. Alright mister.." She says and don't even try to convince him to stop.
Kyle check the time on his alarm clock..
It's 9:45 p.m..
He go straight on closing the light and get in his new blanket bed..
"Good night." He says to her.
She don't say a word and look at him. Still surprised by the situation it seems..
And then she too go to sleep.
And she says finally.
"Good night.."

So, I have to think about this.
My job contract is going to end soon in april.
I need to figure what I want and need to do for next year..
Like would I be better in art school than doing a soulless job that I have no passion in it?
Or get money quickly and buy some gear.. And do my stuff myself without going back in school.
I need a graphic tablet, a new PC and some programs to do art.
My skills have become somewhat better than before..
But I still need improvement.
I also want to learn programming properly.
Have little experiences here and there.
But that's it.
I am also moving out of my family and gonna live with my friends.
Finally! I will be able to have my own room and do some voice tracks.
I have so many ideas to work with..
I'll have to think this for a day or two..
If anyone have ideas and suggestions be open to share it.
