so expect frequent uploads again this week~

im trying to gauge the exact amount of my watchers who are being shut out of my notifications but its near impossible since this hasnt happened before while i was on the site..

Ive been pestered 1 too many times (more like 10000 too many times) about this.

i dont think i could have made it more clear to everyone multiple times that that project was retired and that there would be no more pages. constantly asking me will not restore my drive to work on that story, offering me money will not restore my drive to work on that story.

this is the last statement im making about that comic. It's gone from my account now, it will not be continued.

that being said, it is other places online (posted without my permission of course but hey, idc)

http://myreadingmanga.info/captain-.....t-kats-dj-eng/ you can still read all the pages that were completed here if you so desire.


This is as blunt as i could possibly be, if there are still some people who cannot comprehend that it wont continue after this, i truly pray for your future.

[EDIT] and no i still havent and never will watch the show

what do yall think of my new style for clean commissions?

just thought id let ya'll know, its not deleted.

This is the last time i'll plug it in a journal

http://smoke-n-mirrorscomic.tumblr.com/

updates every Tuesday and Thursday!

http://smoke-n-mirrorscomic.tumblr.com/

updates every Tuesday and Thursday!

now I know at the end of the day its up to the buyer


but i do get irked when commissioners make me pay the paypal fee and it gets deducted from my total pay.

I dont know if it's considered 'courtesy' or whatever but I really do encourage you to pay the fee yourself if you choose to commission me from now on.

it may not seem like much, but when almost every person does it it really takes a lot out of the grand total. put yourself in my shoes.


thank you.


[edit] As suggested yes tipping a bit extra so it covers the fee is a great way to make up for it without getting in trouble with paypal

You read the title guys, CLEAN. that means not adult, not mature. if you have to ask its probably not PG.

I will be working on these in my free time so please dont expect them in a few days after you pay. I will try to be diligent but if you feel im taking too long feel free to check up on me. I assure you i havent forgotten about you :3

Hello guys, its been quite awhile.

Since I've been away I put together a portfolio and networked at NYC Comic Con and learned a lot along the way, and it's all been a very educational and humbling experience and it was nice to work on what i wanted for so long.

but of course, networking was just the first step to getting work in the industry so for the time being i still need to develop my skills and learn how to use social media more, ect.

While im doing that, I'm returning to FA to post clean work and take clean commissions to anybody interested and turning notes back on.

I'll be making another journal about commissions so if you're interested stay posted!


And please no drama, I took a hiatus and left on good terms with this website.

No, this is not me returning to post here as Captain Nikko. I'm sorry if i got anyone's hopes up, that was not my intention.

This is a notice for those interested, I'm available for commissions by email ( captainnikko23[at]gmail.com )

** I AM ONLY DOING CLEAN ART OR TASTEFUL NUDITY**

PLEASE do not try to push me to do adult work.

ALSO!! please do not leave commission information here as I will not be checking the comments or my notes, ONLY THE ABOVE ADDRESS! Prices can and will be discussed privately.

Thank you to everyone interested.

Thanks everyone :3



peace.

So, I'd like to be as transparent as possible with you all for a moment.

the past year and a halfish ive spent on FA has been by far my best experience with the site, and I couldnt have asked for a better run. I got experience doing commissions in a timely fashion, my speed has improved, and my anatomy gotten much better.

But I've done all i can do with this platform.

Ive reached a gracious amount of watchers, faves, views, ect. I couldnt have asked for more! Im really happy.



However I do have bigger ambitions that I've been putting off to the side for keeping busy with FA and other sites. Of course earning some income was very important, but neglecting my true passions is not what I wanted to happen.

So here's whats going to happen.

I'm going to continue to be active on this site until the end of April, after which I will not be checking this page anymore. I am not going to delete any art work or move it to scraps, there will just be no new content.

I am, however, going to still be taking commissions up until the end, so if you really wanted something from me, this is the month to watch for the commission journal! And, as you can guess, the Swat kats comic will not be finished. I appreciate everyone who supported and gave me positive feedback though. It was a fun experiment.

Now, with this all said, if my plans dont work out, i may very well find myself back here someday, but id like to hope that doesn't happen. I have NO problem with this website or anyone on it, I just need to do something else with my time is all.


Thank you guys,

Nikko.

*PS, disregard the date. this is a serious journal.

sooo


a lot of people have been adding me lately. and thats cool


but you have to understand how hard it is to manage a massive web of contacts like that..

so instead of having to constantly trim the fat, ive decided not to make my skype public anymore.

if you have my contact, please do not give it out without asking me. if you search my contact and find me and try to add me, DO NOT EXPECT TO STAY VERY LONG.

very rarely do the random adds you guys give me just to say 'love your stuff' lead to anything substantial, and it just ends up being awkward when i have to remove you to keep things in line. nobody likes having 20 flashing conversations going on at once DX


anyway yeah. if you want my contact, note me. but DO NOT EXPECT to stay for more than a few days if you

1. dont contribute topics or try to start conversations

2. hit me up and then never reply

3. only want to compliment me/gush over my work.

4. all of the above.

hey, my friend is doing commissions for the first time

id love it if some of yall could check him out. he does utterly adorable pixel art, among other things. if you like glowy or hypno stuff he's got that covered too!

...drop dat thun thun thun

without saying WHY




id like people to tell me some things they dont like about Tumblr, if they use it


id just like to see if im alone without putting anyone on the spot.
