So before I begin the main topic of this journal, I want to say that the Goretober challenge was unsuccessful. Although we drew 20 different prompts, there was still 11 left to be drawn and unfortunately, we ran out of days and ultimately Goretober came to a screeching halt. Now, I know what you're asking, what went wrong? School and homework were part of the halt, but it hardly did any damage. From October 17 to 28, two of our cats fell ill and passed away, Frosty and Cinnamon. Because they became so ill, they became bedridden, unable to eat or drink, and laid in one of our rooms and hallways, respectively. To watch them slowly die with each passing hour was both devastating and uncomfortable events, which was why for those two weeks, I took a break from drawing. Now, I am not trying to put the blame on my pets for this abrupt ending but to memorialize these two cats, who gave our home love and we did the same for them.

Although the Goretober challenge stopped without a proper ending, It was fun, picking up new skills and discovering new techniques along the way! But guess what? This isn't why I called you here for.

*flashback sounds*

The year was 2011. At the time, we were ten years old. I walked down a road of possibilities, one of these were of becoming a doctor. As for drawing, my proudest works were comprised of stick figures and roller coasters that would soar high to the stars. Around here, I bought a diary for boys...

:bademoticon: 

Okay, I know what you're thinking, why you are writing this? Along with the diary, came a lock and key, you can lock up your diary after your writing session! But what to do with the key? Well, I tied the key around a piece of string and put it around a small plush penguin...

Suddenly, there was a great big white light! 

Hyper Jump 

Along with it was a big boom!

EXPLOSION 

Key the Penguin was born and along with it, the GToons Universe.

We were, however, unaware of this big bang. Unaware of where this would take me to...
After this point on, year after year, there would be new characters, new worlds, new skills...
Now, five years, 70 characters, and a thousand pictures later, GToons-Inc is ready to celebrate.

For a while, we debated on whether or not the "5 Years of GToons" should've been a personal celebration or not, Obviously we decided into making it a public celebration, considering that three of those five years have been made here in deviantART with a hundred people watching! Now, what about art?

Some of the plans made involve redesigning old characters and maybe even creating new comics!
Although the plans are not well-thought out, I hope you'll join me to see the content of the month!
