OK, so. It's... been a while. This sudden and unexpected absence has not been like the others. In fact, I really honestly had lots of art to post, and quite a bit that I was working on, as well. Unfortunately, my laptop had other ideas... the hard drive has started deteriorating. It hasn't really failed... yet. It will soon though. Ive been so afraid to turn it on... thus th absence. Previous such breaks from internet were all due to my lack of productivity, as well as just not really having a lot of watchers, so it really didn't make a lot of difference, heh.
In any case, that's me right now. I've actually been without a computer for something like... I dunno, 2 months now? I think thats about right. If youve gotten favs or comments from me since then, and youre all confuzzled, that'd be because o my nice shiny smartphone! Which started having critical malfunctions just under 2 weeks ago!
SO ya. I did try to use my 360's internet browser... but like... ow... and pain... seriously...
As it is, I'm currently using my friend's old phone to get online. It isn't set up though, cuz it's the wrong service provider... I needed a verizon phone, and sadly tbis isn't one. That means I can only get online when in wifi. Ever. Which, I mean, hey, that's not terrible I guess.
Though, there's one other thing, unrelated to all that. My parents are trying to get ready to sell the house, but it's half remodelled. We've spent the last month, maybe 2, in a mad dash to finish the work so ee can move. This will mean me moving out of their house, finally. Soo... I have been pretty busy lately. Still drawing, but only pencils gor now! No photoshop or colored pencils at this point, for various reasons already stated.
SO, that's my story for the time being. Nearly no usable tech, lots of unposted or unfinished art, and no free time for a bit. Won't last forever though!
Now, a couple specific online things.
I wanted to apologize to spacecoloniie. She was having serious trouble with art being reposted and I said I'd post a journal for her. Due to the above, I couldn't. So don't do it guys! And sorry to Aechia (formerly chilisart)!
Also, my devs. I'm horribly behind again... I went back up to almost 1500... so frustrating, cuz I had just gotten them down to 2 or 3 hundred. So blah to that. Also, if anything's been posted that you wanted me to see, lemme know, and I'll go look at it!
I kniw there's lots og commets waiting on mr to reply to, almost 30 WOW SO MANY COMMENTS I ARE POPULAR JUST LIKE GLENDA SANG ABOUT
Anyway, hope I can manage to get all caught up some time this year... not too likely though.
See yaz!
Chaos control, baby.

R.I.P Jason David Frank
The news about Jason David Frank is... hard to swallow. I'm a black belt, largely because of his influence. He changed my life for the better in so many ways. I'm gutted, today I lost one of my biggest inspirations. I met him several years ago at Portland Comicon. Got a couple art prints signed by him. He was so great... friendly, fun, happy... I'll remember that about him forever. Rest in peace, Green Ranger. May the Power protect you always.

Going forward
Well, I've decided *for now* that I'm not going to purge my account. I'll stay here, depending on how things go over the course of the year, and I'll go ahead and start uploading backlog. Whether I stay long term will very strongly depend on how things go over the course of the next year.

I literally just started coming back. Now they're doing AI. I literally just started coming back. UGH. Not gonna immediately purge like I've seen a few other people do already, but I'm not thrilled by any stretch.
Long time, no see!
So! I declared that I was gonna come back! And we see how well that went! The last 5 years really have been hellish. I really believed that I was gonna be able to make it happen. I wasn't able sadly, so I'm gonna try again. There are a few things I need to make happen. 1. I need to go into detail about my extended absence. I feel like anyone who still watches me here deserves to know what's been up. It's a bitbof a roller coaster. 2. I need to post backlogs of art that I haven't gotten uploaded. If I remember right, I had started doing this before disappearing again. I'm fairly certain one of those pics was a commission, and I feel awful for never posting it. 3. I need to learn how the new version of the site works. Its so wildly different than what I knew. 4. I need to edit my about section. Nearly nothing thats written there is accurate, and some of it is so wildly wrong now that it makes me a bit uncomfortable. 5. I need to revamp my commission prices. They're very old and I don't actually even remember what they were at this point.
