Yup. That time of year.

So, hi guize.

I'll be updating fA a bit more in the days to come, and I'll be opening commissions once more in a week or two. What some of you might not like is that I'll be increasing prices.

Keep it real.

Seriously, every single time I upload an image, ARTIFACTS EVERYWHERE. DO I LOOK LIKE INDIANA JONES?

I'm sorry I'm usually very distant and hard to approach. I know that I am not the most social of people and to keep it short, it's nothing personal and I wish I had more time/energy/devotion to socializing in general.

At first it was video games and me being a total addict, and now it's just me catching up with all the time I didn't spend drawing. Thanks for the understanding.

Drawing stuffs.

They'll either be horrible or ultra fun, either way, won't have much net.

It's on the second of October. Feels good man.

Title says it all. Ask me or my characters anything and all that.

For practice's sake, I'll be turning off my IM's and Steam only from 4 pm (GMT +1) so I will be around a bit less I guess.

Fuck socializing. :D

Finally got back to the capital, peace and quiet at last. Can now focus again on drawing proper, although I'll still have to mostly focus on exams and IRL drawings/practice. Need to fix a chipped tooth before it gets out of hand, but other than that I've been dandy.

That's it mostly, hope you all have a nice day.

Edit - And sorry about the triple posting. Tried to post when fA was being wonky.

My official commissions have cleared and I'm only left with a pretty hefty backlog of drawings I owe people. One thing that's been really making me cringe inside is my still lacking skills in all things art. Mainly, this journal post is directed at the people I owe drawings to (some of who I'm certain aren't even aware at this point) and secondly at anyone who watches me and likes to see me churn out more drawings.

Spoiler, I'll try and avoid any sort of whining and it'll be a bit of a tl;dr. Luckily, odds are you, the reader, are not affected by this anyway. Feel free to close the tab. Not sarcasm/guilt tripping.

I've come to a point where my abilities are starting to stagnate and where my works lack a certain flare of progress that they used to have in the last year or so. I know what the issue is and I know how to overcome it. It's pretty much just practice, traditional drawing/painting practice, reading of art books, the works. It's a natural issue and hurdle someone of my calling has to jump over multiple times in the course of their endeavors. The issue is timing. As it stands, it's summer break. At the moment, I have a whole day of free time, and I'm mostly trying to do the drawings I owe or being pissed about them (not counting the time I put into traditional arts and me just being lazy.) By the time I'm done, it'll prolly be end of summer break, and then a new wave of obligations will of course delay my personal practice time once more. To cut the story short,

I'm asking for patience from the people I owe drawings to in my execution of their works while I devote most of my time to self improvement. I'm also informing anyone I don't owe anything to that I'll most prolly once again disappear without a sound for a half a month upload at best. I hope you all can understand the importance of this endeavor. Ultimately, the end result of your drawing will be all the better. I'm also posting this in hopes of not letting people feel left out, ignored or cheated. Odds are you have my MSN/AIM/STEAM or whatever, and I have no intention of disappearing from any of those any time soon.

That said, I will make progress with things I draw, and I'll try and wrap up the few projects I planned on finishing fully (as to not leave them sitting on the shelf half finished) but otherwise it'll be slow paced and done as a "taking a break" thing.

Thanks for understanding.

I'm using photoshop instead of the usual Paint Tool Sai. Watch me humiliate myself as I do so!

It must be annoying as all hell to have to delete five billion "I'm streaming nao!" journals, so from now on I'll only be announcing streaming on my Twitter (Something much more practical for this sorta thing).

http://www.livestream.com/konoko - You know the drill. Will be doing a random comish I first stumble upon.

http://www.livestream.com/konoko - You know the deal.

Gonna take a jab at a random commission in line, feel free, hopefully wrapping up all of the commissions in the next week or so. Mondo ultra mega work time.

Depending on what happens, I will either start work on the 27th although a lot more likely on the first of next month. during that period I'll do my best to finish all commissions in a week, streaming if possible.

Once again, I apologize for the long wait and I hope the end result is worth it.

What do I win?

Crisis averted. I had to send it back to my hometown to a guy I can count on can fix it, but at least it's working. 220 € saved. Expect whole day streams from the 27. until I'm done with all commissions.

Thanks for your patience.

And it seems like the tablet is fully dead. I'll try and get it fixed on the weekend, but any chance of doing work on the commissions before the next exam is gone. Hopefully, I'll get it fixed before the exam and will be able to continue to draw right after it.

Sorry for taking so long guys.

Oh hai. Seems like the cable to tablet connection is wonky. Hopefully, it'll be an easy fix. I can still draw with some difficulties, although exam in 4 days so I might delay it for now.

Wish me luck you all!

I updated the last upload of mine a bit after getting some useful critique.
