Hey guys. It's been a while...close to four years since I've last uploaded art or posted any updates in general.

I've pretty much all but abandoned this account...save for occasionally lurking in the shadows to keep tabs on friends and favorite artists I've been following...and also because Deviantart has been plain difficult to completely put behind me. It had once been a significant part of my life and growth as an artist...therefore, it's been a huge inner struggle coming to the decision to finally move on from the community I put so much energy into at one point.

I've had many wonderful experiences here and have met some awesome people who have given me the encouragement to blossom as an artist, and helped me through some rough patches...and receiving kind, motivational comments on my work from friends and strangers alike is something I always appreciated and have never taken for granted.

However, I've also had a slew of very negative experiences on this site, some of which caused me to spiral downwards to my lowest of lows. And the mistakes I've made..and the friendships that I've ruined or let deteriorate will always haunt me.

Yet, until now, it's been incredibly difficult to move on...because though I've been inactive online, I actually HAVE made new art that I wanted to show off at one point...and adventures featuring my OCs in the making that I wanted to share with you all, and have spent many hours day-dreaming about these stories, brainstorming ideas with friends, and trying to plan out how I can turn all these thoughts into comic form to make them entertaining for an audience.

But, whenever I get the rare motivation to post again, I end up getting cold feet, and the stomach-ache from all those negative times involving this site resurface, which unfortunately outweighs my excitement of sharing my new creations.

It's gotten to the point where merely logging in to check my inbox fills me with sadness...yet, trying to shake a decade-long habit of visiting my Deviantart page has been fruitless.

Which is why I will be deactivating my account to get rid of that temptation.

My gallery will remain online for another few days. After that, my page will be scrubbed for good.

Many apologies to those who had been following my BTE comic and will never get a conclusion. The passion I once had for the project was a huge factor of what kept me on DA for so long, and the enjoyment I got from being able to entertain its readers was one of the greatest highlights of being in the fandom.

Though, it's probably better that I left it where it was, anyway...as I realize that over the years, as I suffered through much trauma, I had started to connect emotionally with the story in a way where it would no longer be fun if I continued it on its current course. And no matter how I tried to mentally steer it back on track with future plot plans, I felt I could never maintain the humorous tone that was originally intended for the story.

Thank you to all my friends and watchers for all the support over the years. You're a huge part of why I've clung to this fandom for so long. I'm going to miss all the fun times.

But remaining here will only continue to take a toll on my mental health.

Farwell and stay safe everyone...the world keeps getting crazier and crazier.

Just needed to distance myself for a while.




Thanks for all the love and support, guys.

First of all, to a few of you anonymous proxyers trying to catch my Kiriban: don't think I didn't notice my not-so-mysterious pageview spike....



With that aside, congratulations to the lucky winner, for catching my Kiriban! ='D



I'm approaching 100,000 pageviews, and the first of my watchers who catches it will receive a free colored character drawing of their choice. Rules are simple: Link me screenshot of my front page the moment when my pageview count hits 100,000!

Good luck!

Just thought I'd should give you guys a heads up since I promised comic updates soon in my last post:

I'm postponing the series until further notice.

Sorry about that.
