I'm still more or less taking a break from working on Shades of Heart. Things have been pretty rough since my Grandpa died and we're having some issues with that. I haven't been really that active doing anything with any of my projects. However I am starting to work on Shades of Heart again. I've begun working on a basic overview for all of the episodes in Shades of Heart, more or less to give myself a grounding on where each episode is going to go as well as look for plot holes. I don't think I've found any, but I'm having others help me check.

So, as for updates, I can say that we've finally gotten a picture for The Great Calamity. That picture is on her page, and it will give you an idea of what she looks like. While it's not a full picture like the others, it is a good representation. The person who drew it is heavily involved with the production and voice acting of this series, DeckofSouls, and I asked her to make the picture because her style was similar to the person who drew the original animation character designs that can be seen throughout the website. Unfortunately, the original artist has some understandable issues about why she can no longer help.
So here's some exciting news! I've finished the basic rewrite of the plot of Shades of Heart. While I'm still working on getting out the last few kinks, everything's going well. Its even gone well enough that I put a basic premise of the plot in the "About" Page under the home tab. While I haven't given away much of the things involving the characters (The Main Pack, Angels, Demons, etc.) I have given away some major plot for the actual story, mostly just lore. I don't want to give away too much after all. But it should be enough to wet your appetites for a while, right?
We're still currently waiting on an audition for the animator team. I have gotten back in touch with the person who is trying out, and they are saying that they'll be sending in their audition soon. Eventually we'll see if they make the cut or not, but the team auditions are still open. If you guys know anyone who would be interested, remember to tell them and share the video from my first YouTube Channel since Shades of Heart hasn't officially moved yet.
So here I am, actually Updating the blog on a Wednesday. Unfortunately, I don't really have any really important updates. I have been slowly updating the plot for the show, which is going really well. I've also been slowly adding more to the website and editing things. When the rewrite is complete, you will be able to find a summary of the plot in the "About" page, so you guys can look forward to that. All of the characters now have their own bios pages, and the original "Characters and Bios" Page has been deleted. The "Animator Team Audition and References" page will remain open.
So long story short, I forgot to update this for quite some time. Sorry about that guys. Any of you who've been part of things that I said "I'll update this weekly" were probably expecting me to pretty much just completely forget about it for a while. And you would be right. That's what I did. But I don't really have an excuse. I'm battling with Anxiety and what to do about that, so that has been taking up a lot of my time. But other than that, I've just been putting it off.
So this update came a little late. Whoops. At least I managed to update the blog this week. Unfortunately, the week's been pretty hectic so I haven't managed to update much of the website at all. As of today, all of the Demons and the Other Entities have been fully updated in their bios, so you can read those. Also, the rest of the website shares one look and looks much better than it was. The background image of this blog page was chosen because of the various shades of hearts in the series, as well as because the comment box unfortunately has black lettering (small ones at that) and there's not a guide that can help me fix that.
The story of Shades of Heart is getting a massive rehaul during the time we're waiting. Since we don't have a full team of animators yet, and we don't have all of the voice actors that we need, Shades of Heart will also be being reworked. This will not effect the voice actors or the animators in any way since the scripts are unreleased. However there were a lot of plot holes that needed to be addressed. Some of those were being filled by the newest character, The Great Calamity, however there were still too many.
A new blog for the series will be replacing the old "Updates" Tab and under the "Home" Tab. I will be trying to keep this blog updated at least once a week with any new developments. Right now we're still trying to get production under way, and its taking a lot longer than I expected. However I'm not giving up and fortunately my voice actors have all been patient enough with me to wait (some of them for two, almost three years now). Thanks to you guys for all of your amazing support!
