Hey guys,

Long time no see hah. I just wanted to give a bit of an update as I've been gone for so long. Almost two years, wow. So some of you already know this but about a year and a half ago I got a nasty wrist injury that had me wearing a brace for 3 months. Unfortunately my job at the casino, being a dealer, was very hard on my wrist and arm and resulted in permanent damage as well as a pinched nerve similar to carpal tunnel symptoms. For quite a while I haven't been able to pick up a pencil or pen and draw without my fingertips becoming completely numb after about 20 seconds. I tried drawing anyway but it just got worse and worse to the point that I have a constant tingle in my fingers.

All this to say, I've been on a waiting list for a while to get examined at a neuropathy clinic. I finally got an appointment and was assessed and have been on a waiting list for almost 4 months now, hoping to get the surgery soon. It has a fairly high success rate and a recovery time of only about 48 hours which is crazy to me. So... here's hoping things improve. I'd love to start doing art for everyone again.

Thanks for supporting me

TL;DR I haven't been able to draw because I have nerve damage in my wrist and I'm on a waiting list for surgery.

Hi guys.

I know I haven't been around much. I've been working a lot to get out of debt, and I've also had a lot of depression issues, health issues, family illnesses, etc. A lot of stuff has gone wrong but I'm trying to get back into it. I'll be posting a bit more from here on out. I'm sorry I disappeared for 8 months.

Thank you all for your support of me, and your patience.

Thanks,
-Garuu

Granted, mines kind of a crappy one where it keeps going down and that's about it XD. But I've had a few bits where it's leveled out and I've been keeping my chin up c:

I won't go into details about what's been going on but suffice to say I've been very busy dealing with some professionals for some stuff. I'm ok don't worry c:

I'll be back to regularly posting soon, hopefully with one or two last visits. See you all soon! Sorry on the slowness! Last page of the comic is coming up, I literally just have hands to add onto it... two full color comissions and the raffle winner from, and the inexcusably long time coming Raffle win.

And then I'll have a few more things and I'll be back on the Reg.

Thanks everyone for sticking with me. <3

I appreciate it very much <3

one of my friends, Tktktk, is a supremely good artist and he's currently selling his art at a discount, go take a look and see if they suit you! Pimping for visibility :v

Congratulation to for winning the raffle! Thank you to everyone who participated, I look forward to doing another one at 650!

Hey guys! I've been so caught up with schoolwork and taking care of my mum, that I have been Dying to get back to drawing. I already have a few things in the wings but I wanted something on the side. I want to work on something else as well for a change of pace and frankly this is a bit overdue but, 600 watcher raffle! *self congratulatory pat on the back*

Here's the rules, you post a reference of some kind, what you'd like as the drawing and then any other comments you feel you want to. Example:

Gozob
Here's my ref!: Thisistotallyaref.ref/reference/potato
I'd like my character eating a burger at a fast food place and getting ketchup all over themselves!
Bananas are delicious (you don't actually have to mention the bananas lol, it's just an example of extra comments XD)

As far as other rules go, none really, be respectful to others, don't attack other people for winning. I may draw multiple slots, but probably not. The raffle is gonna be for a full art piece, either cell shaded or soft shaded. Also if I dont have enough participants I may close the raffle. That said, you dont' even need to be watching me for this raffle, so tell your friends that lurk in the shadows of cyberspace, anyone can join in!

Thanks guys, for helping me reach 600 watchers!

Sorry guys, so almost immediately after I said I was back I had more health problems pop up and I was having trouble sitting at the computer.

Recently, I've been having lots of pressure in my head, I was blind for a few hours, lots of weird stuff but I think that boiled down to stress and lack of sleep. Same lack of sleep and stress probably caused a problem in my neck and shoulders where they were also tense and just... I felt like my head was gonna explode and stuff? I don't know. Anyway my doctor prescribed some anti-inflamatories and that helped a bit and it's slowly going away. I'm actually able to sit at my computer for longer periods of time now, so that's good. JUST IN CASE though, she's also tested my blood. Which came back with a few worrying results, but nothing to be super concerned about yet. My platelette...platelet... *looks it up* Platelet count is a bit low but it may just have been the sample, it's not like, dire. So I don't know. There might be more tests forthcoming, we'll see. For now nothing to worry about though, I have a sketch ref sheet that I'm gonna post as soon as I get the name of the character. The end to the New Beginnings comic coming soon and a new comic that I'll be starting that ISN'T a commission... mostly to learn how to actually draw comics because let's face it, I need practice.

Anyway, I know this was a lot of stuff, thanks if you read through it all, I appreciate everyone's continued support, I know I haven't been the most consistant, and for that I apologize. In any case it's nice to be able to draw again.

Thank you!
-Garuu

TL;DR I had health problems that kept me away from the computer but now they're clearing up so I can actually draw again. Posts and Comics incoming.

Hey guys! I'm finally home and recovering from the trip, expect posts soon!

hi everyone. finished up my school. passed with 84% so that's good. Right now I'm in Pittsburgh. not attending the con, just chilling with friends. soon I'll be back home and posting again.

Hey guys, just so you know why I'm not posting, I'm finishing up classes right now, just got ma math exam left. got 100% on the mock test, here's hoping I do well on the real one c:

Hey, that's cool! I feel like I should do something. I'm not super up for a raffle considering the lack of participation last time, think maybe that's a 1000 watcher thing. What should I do for 600?

Hey guys, friend of mine is hosting a pretty sweet YCH. Go check it out! maybe bid c:

http://www.furaffinity.net/view/23724484/

and I are officially opening for collab slots! He will be doing the sketching and flat colors, and I will be lining and doing shading.

We can do everything from SFW to NSFW, and will will consider EVERY kink/theme content. Even stuff we'd normally not accept. Armor from me, being an example, as I dont accept it, but since Garuu is sketching, it's okay. We will consider extreme kinks as well that most artists won't draw, including; vore, diapers, hyper, and others!
The only thing we wont draw for sure is vehicles, including planesonas and trainsonas.
Everything else will be considered and will only be turned down if we do not have the skills to do your request!

Single character slots = $40 ( you will be sending $20 to each of us)
If you want a couple the slots are $100. Couples take so much longer and are much harder.

SLOTS

Ok obviously I'm back I've been posting for a while.but I forgot to make a journal! how will like... 0.01% of my audience know I've returned!?

yes... I know, I just got back, unfortunately, I've received some very bad news and I'll be away for a bit, anyone who wishes to know more can message me personally on discord if you have it, or I might reply in the comments when I'm ready. I'm a bit out of sorts at the moment. Forgive me but I'll be a bit... absent for the next little while until this situation has reached its conclusion, whether for better or worse.

Hey guys, my skin has finally mostly healed, it's still a bit tender but I can actually start art-ing again, so expect posts soon c:

Ok so, my skin was on fire and I was breaking out in rashes all over my body. It was incredibly painful and it was getting more and more painful. SO. I decided to go to the hospital. Turns out I have SCABIES! YAAAAAAAAAY. So now I'm not allowed to leave the house for like a week and I need to do a full body ointment (including hair) treatment and deep clean EVERYTHING in the house. So.... Not gonna be around much, sorry guys! be back after infection :v

Ok so, I haven't been posting for a while.

Basically, I got a new job (finally) and I was still getting used to the work for the past little while so I've been really tired. But now I've gotten used to it so I can draw a bit more.

Unfortunately, my main computer's power supply pooped out on me. So I'm waiting for a new one to arrive. It should get here some time this week, so here's hoping! : D

I've been doodling here and there on my other tablet, though, and I'll be posting some of those along with all the Iron artists I've been finishing up that I haven't done yet and the outstanding commissions I have left. I also finished a comic and as soon as I get my computer fixed up I'll be able to get the files off my hard drive and Post a full comic, all 8 (or 9? I forget) pages of it. I've also been painting! so expect that soon too. Alright that's everything!

TL;DR Computer broken, Soon be fixed. Got job, was tired. Back now.

Hey guys, I just wanted to give a little update, let you know what's going on.

After all the crap with my MRI's,my optic nerve thing all the crap I was dealing with I ended up having to deal with just more and more stuff. I'm running low on patience and funds... my mother is currently at high risk of stroke and heart attack because of various things and I've... I've just been dealing with a lot.

But that's no excuse for how long you've all been waiting for your commissions, those of you who have been waiting longer than a month. I am so sorry but I wanted to let you know that I'm getting back on track, this time cause what else can go wrong, right? lol

Thank you for your patience and understanding.

TL;DR I've been dealing with a lot of crap but I'm back to drawing now. Thank you for your patience.


[SIDE NOTE]
I'll be starting an Iron artist soon and offering 5 to 10 dollar sketches (plus any tips people feel like giving me XD), keep your eyes peeled for when I open up the slots!

Ok so the health problems are mostly gone so expect more posts again, I should be mostly right as rain

Ok so the source of the headaches was found. I went for an MRI on saturday and got the results today at around 7 AM. It was as I had expected! Something in the back of my eye ( likely the optic nerve ) had swollen. I had gone blind one day and had been suffering from severe headaches. The headaches are still there but they're slowly going away. I have perfect vision in my left eye again, so that's good. (it wasn't as bad as it was the first day it happened, I could see decently well after a bit of rest) Regardless, I've been out of it for a bit but I'm back on stuff. expect more posts soon. Sorry to all my commissioners about the delays, believe me I didn't mean to go blind XD.

Though I may have to go to the hospital just in case... I've had a headache for 4 days straight now and I've constantly been fatigued....

I need to go on hiatus for a bit guys. something came up so I'll be out for about 3 days. Be back later

Ok so I have a tumblr now. I'll be using it to just sort of give updates on my daily life, what's going on, humorous anecdotes, leatherworking, metalworking and clean art. I'm still sorta figuring out how it works and I'm not good at tagging so feel free to tell me how to tag stuff. I'm not sure how to link my profile.... www.tumblr.com/blog/garuuruu ? will that work?
