Lots of distractions last year given a return to my studies on the home course and a temporary return to my old workplace which unfortunately ended three weeks earlier than I was contracted for since I could have really done with the extra money in reserve.
However, since I apparently have as long as I need rather than to finish everything by April when my final course payment goes through I felt I could do with a break and like most projects, a small idea (in this case a discussion with my lovely
after viewing certain fanart) turned into a full-scale project for me as I wanted to do something nice for Katie as a late Christmas gift that ended up being later than I thought given how much I obsess of detail and presentation. Starting today and across the next week I'll be uploading my Poke-Wright images, combining the current 15 Starter Pokemon with main and supporting characters from the Phoenix Wright series that's gotten me hooked in recent months since returning to the series after a two year gap between gaming.
All I ask is that comments are relative to the images in question since this was:
A) primarily a gift for my girlfriend,
B) done in a shorter amount of time I'd usually be able to give to my projects,
and C) the Pokemon and character choices were mine and hers and the last thing I want are rude complaints or disputes over who would better suit a certain Pokemon in the series (I set conditions to narrow down the cast so each character had to appear in more than one case and preferably for them not to be guilty of murder or somehow create spoilers in their visual design).
That's about it, the rest that follows are extracts from the last journal that continuously apply:

Still fresh to the gallery is my last big project Jerks of Cerberus based on the Final Fantasy 7 spin-off Dirge of Cerberus (and while I did add "OrgLIX presents" to the title, it's not related to the Organization LIX series in any way aside from being written and voiced by myself and Katie who are OrgLIX members, but it was written in a similar style and has the site link due to the promise of being added there come the next update whenever the hiatus is over), I'm still very proud of it as I worked many a day and night to finally finish it.
At least a third full OrgLIX episode is in the works but pushed back on my list of priorities as I've got another project I wanted to release first ever since being handed complete control of it and I'm even considering the possibility of some compilation animations of various OrgLIX and Crisis Perverted episodes just so I can animate the funny parts or scenes I like without having to commit to full episodes since it was never my intention to animate every audio project we've done.
As for the Pokemon Project, I've been struggling with the next set due to my high standards making each drawing a long drawn out process as well as rearranging some of the entries to distribute the fifth generation of Pokemon evenly into the groupings despite my reluctance to start on those until I've covered a few more of the older designs, that and I've been trying to keep up with newly released episodes of Best Wishes to snap my reference shots in the hopes of eventually covering every episode to date which is a project in itself given how I've obsessively been keeping various lists of episodes and Pokemon to seek out.
And that's mostly it, and if anyone catches my 30,000 kiriban I'll happily take on a character request drawing (though no idea when it'll be completed as I owe a few people drawings for kiribans and prizes), if I receive no attempts at a screengrab close to that number I'll offer it up to someone who can prove to know something about my characters that hasn't already bagged a kiriban.
It should be noted that the 10K kiriban I'd offered up to my OrgLIX director Orin has been negated if only because I do so much animation for OrgLIX and painstakingly completed a drawing for use as the new splash page featuring Every member of the Organization (which I shall upload here as soon as it debuts on the website).
Ciao.

Usual Info:
Just a reminder, I've launched a group dedicated to the works of OrgLIX (the vocal group known by that title) which includes our works "Organization XIII" and "Crisis Perverted".
I've slowly been inviting friends I know to have an interest in the subject and plan to move on to anyone who's ever faved the OrgLIX animations before finishing up with those on my watchlist with an apparent interest in KH since I can't tell who's watching me for OrgLIX and who's here for Pokemon and other artwork if they haven't faved one of the animations.
I'd invite everyone but it's become apparent I can only have so many pending invites at any one time so I definitely need to prioritise them based on the likelihood of a response.
For anyone who'd like to join please contact me (preferably by note though you can just comment on this journal if it's easier for you) and I'll put you at the top of the priority list for when I can next send more invites out.
For anyone I've invited already who aren't interested, I genuinely don't mind if that's the case but please officially decline so I can have the option to invite someone else who wants to be included.
If you like our work whether or not you wish to contribute to the gallery, just click on the link to see the page and contact me if you'd like to join ([link]).
I've added all the fan-made pics I can find so far to the favourites but if you find your OrgLIX/Crisis Perverted fanart/fanfiction/cosplay photo, comic, etc isn't included and feel it deserves to be then please note me with a link to the image in question for me to look over.
As I initially wrote on the group's profile the following guidelines apply:
Any contribution to the galleries must depict our version of any of the following characters:
(Xemnas, Xigbar, Xaldin, Vexen, Lexaeus, Zexion, Saix, Axel, Demyx, Luxord, Marluxia, Larxene, Roxas, Namine, Repliku, DiZ, Patrick, Sephiroth, Lazard, Angeal, Genesis, Zack, Cloud, Kunsel, Hojo, Aerith, Scarlet, Rufus, Reno, Cissnei, Tseng, Adrian, Minerva, Yuffie plus miscellaneous and original characters from the series)
They can be dressed up in a way described in one of the episodes, recreating a moment of a scene in a photo or sketch or a whole event in comic form, even depicting an original joke or idea that you think someone from the cast would do, but in all cases it Must relate to OrgLIX/Crisis Perverted and not just the original version of the character or a generic fan parody in order to be included here.
In addition I have the right to accept or decline any requests for inclusion in the gallery if I feel these rules aren't followed, I can be lenient and make exceptions if I feel one has at least tried to make it relevant to OrgLIX rather than a general Kingdom Hearts/Final Fantasy VII fanart but will refuse requests if a quote or description from OrgLIX is tacked on or only included in the description.

For anyone who watches me on YouTube I've made a second account solely to showcase the audio works of OrgLIX which now includes our side project Crisis Perverted based on Final Fantasy VII's Crisis Core so if you're already a fan it should prove convenient to listen to, and for those who've been introduced solely through watching my animations we have many other episodes only without animation but they're just as awesome and the reason I animated for the series in the first place, either visit www.youtube.com/orglix or visit our main website at www.orglix.org
And join us at the forums for group chats and extras just for the fans:

For any newcomers, if you're into Kingdom Hearts or comedy in general please seek out the current two animations (and separate promo piece) in my gallery and do visit the main OrgLIX site to listen to our many audios with myself providing the voices of Luxord and Lexaeus: ([link]) and for any Final Fantasy fans we also have our side project Crisis Perverted where I voice Director Lazard, as well as Professor Hollander and Director Palmer: [link] (mature content in both just so you know)
