Hi.

1 min read

Nice to see people still enjoy my old stuff. I'd like to think I'm better at telling stories now. Haven't written fanfiction in a long, long, time... I play RPGs nowadays. Telling stories improves drastically when you're able to be a GM and roleplay. Makes a big difference. Nice to see all of you who still stick around.

I have been pretty inactive the last couple of years. The process may be a mixture of lack of motivation and the need to seperate myself from my favorite fandoms so I could grow as a person and develop an interest in my own original works.

As my art style has improved and my life is going through changes, I need to think and realize what matters the most to me. I honestly do feel bad for my inactivity on here, and that for the betterment of myself I need to figure out what fulfills me the most. 

I used to wonder about doing paid commission work, my procrastination and lack of effort are my sole blaming. To improve as an artist and grow as a person this is a natural step for me to stop being selfish about my art skills. I have difficulty enough as it is to make projects for people in my own life and it only holds me back if I don't change my mentality.

I would only be logical and reasonable  about what I can and can't draw, and I would post examples of my existing work to show what I'm capable of. I am willing to accept critisim of improving my work. These are everything I have to consider.

If any of you would be interested in seeing commision work from me and would like to see me post examples of my work, just give me a "yes" or something as a message on this journal entry.

So I already made a decision...
I know some of you hope I touch my old works. I dont really know about that.

For those of you who may enjoy roleplaying styled games, I wanted to let you know I am writing a long fanfiction for Pillars of Eternity: Deadfire. It will of course be a reader insert.

I didnt mean to write it. I've played over 300 hours into the POE series. It sort of happened.
Basically, I felt like I missed out on fun dialogue that could have taken place in the game I imagined.

I hope you'll enjoy it when it's posted.

Hi. It's me again. I have some news.

I know I'm not really active anymore. To be honest I don't really mess with fanfiction either. I've moved on from my kiddy love anime gooey stuff.

I'm into something completely different now. I'm into to roleplaying games. I play Starfinder and tabletop RPGs. I love games like Pillars of Eternity, Tyranny, and etc.

Ive grown as an artist and as a person. Don't get me wrong, I still have a heart for my old hobbies, but Im not the same person now. Im confident and happier, and Pokemon filled a void in my heart for years, and I know many of you may be disappointed in some of my writing not being finished, but Ive pretty much grew away from all that.

I'll probably post stuff on here in the future, pretty sure you wouldn't recognize my artstyle now.

Hey guys. I've been really busy working on my original stuff right now. I feel pretty confident over my art improvements, but it will be awhile before I post my artworks until I find a consistent art style for my characters.

I haven't forgotten about my fanfiction stories. I promise you that. I'm going to improve on drawing animal anatomy and I've become decent at "anthro" styled animal characters. Still working on human characters.

I'm trying to move away from the typical anime styled characters. You know the ones. The really big glittery eyes, and the small damn nose. No! No!... no.

I prefer realistic eyes and more simple hair styles. I don't like the overdone crazy stuff that anime shows do. But the body proportions tend to be great when they don't over sexualize characters.
