Storyboarding seems like such an enjoyable task. In a way, I feel like it translates the language of words into the language of pictures. It's like being a 'dream translator' for someone's dreams or thoughts, which makes me want to give myself a whimsic...

Last week, I completed all the storyboards and concept art needed for the application. I finished all the promised tasks! However, if there's one thing I've learned, it's the importance of "knowing my limits" rather than just setting a plan.
Hello, fellow Pipers!
Thanks to your support and encouragement, I successfully completed the financial support application last week! And finally, today, I can share with you a more refined version of the show!
