Hello everyone, this is the unhandsome Krillos here and ready to report.

Well, I would be lying if this year wasn’t quite a drag, nor wasn’t all that bad. Got good games, plenty of social activity and my nephew is growing less and less scared of me. Yup, this year has its ups and downs, but it’s over and I can finally start anew.

As for my sickly condition I mentioned in the previous journal, I have some update on that matter.

On November, I had a gastroscopy inspection (and mind you, it was everything but pleasant) and turns out my stomach is under fine condition, which means all the pain I suffered is not because of the stomach but by a different organ. So now our main suspects are the gall bladder and the very intestines. So far, no talk about surgeries or stuff.

After another visit to the emergency ward (sixth or seventh time and on 22th, day before my nephew’s birthday), I got a new prescription with a different medicine that contains 50 mg of diklofenakkalium. This medicine seem take more effect than the previous one, as I got another ache yesterday (somewhat ruined the whole afternoon for me) but this one feels more dampened than the usual attacks but it was still unpleasant and couldn’t socialize with my relatives properly. Another dose of medicine and it calmed it down eventually. I don’t know if this is a good sign or not, but it’s still there and the problem must be dealt with.

I decided to follow one doc’s advice and book another time for an ultra sound treatment, inspecting closely on the prime suspects; the gall bladder and the intestines.

On lighter news, this year was great for games, such as Skyrim, Star Wars; The Old Republic and many others, and I had a blast with each and every one of them. =3

As for the art department, I will try to get back to the pace. I have to catch up with a late commission, late birthday gifts and so on. And also, I’ll give you a heads-up for a re-designs of Goldmane and Lassie, a batch of delicious-looking villains (including the long-waiting re-designs of our classic favorites like Blackmore, Fagin and Psycho Prodigy) and more time to focus on the third project, the sci-fi action story with the now officially titled “The Stars of Metal”, the main character, plus new aliens, is under development.

Thank you for bothering reading this sappy tale of mine and I wish you all a very happy new year!
Oh, speaking of the New Year, my New Year-resolution will be that I do better than last year and hopefully improvise my art, despite my current condition.

Yours truly,
