Hey, guys

Sorry that I haven't been online here for about a month. Been busy managing with deadlines and commissions while I'm applying/being interviewed for part-time WFH/freelance jobs while my country is going down. The country is getting worse here, but it is slowly improving a bit. I haven't been accepted to any jobs yet and low on rent again. I have to keep up and never quit. As I keep on reminding myself; 'everyone is counting on you'. I would also like to apoligize if I'm barely online on any social media. I need to focus on getting everything done and would like to not get heavily distracted by Facebook and Twitter. So many art that I wanted to post.

I'm still continuing with commissions, but not at my fullest energy. I'm at 70%. I do, however, found a way to concentrate 100% and it's from a IRL mutual. She recommend me using nicotine pouches made by Zyn. I have second thoughts about it. Mostly for the duration only lasts 4 hours long and some of the side affects. We'll see. I'm hoping to get every deadline and commissions done before the end of this month. After that, I wanted to take a week off to revamp my freelance job and improve certain aspects that are lacking.

Hi, guys!

Sorry that there hasn't been any new art + streams and I haven't been online as much recently. Current events within my country have stunned me with what's going on. Indonesia isn't doing too well and is going through a crisis right now. It's been going on for at least 2 years now, but it started to spiral since early March of this year. In one of my previous journals, I've discussed about the whole TNI RUU thing and some of the shady stuff the current president, Prabowo, is doing with his unnecessary new governmental programs.

Indonesians from different political backgrounds come together to protest for better living wages, job opportunities while also fighting against corruption and police brutality within this country. It's been difficult to get hired at a job in this country for a lot of us for years now. Living costs increases isn't helping us. Especially with trying to find a position in a high-skilled job. A lot of Indonesians kept on protesting so that our voices can be heard. The politicians kept on ignoring us. Within the last 2 months, things have started to escalate. Protests turned into riots. Police beating and capturing their own people. Government buildings being robbed and set on fire. Massive censorship across the city. We are being silenced by the 1% all because the 99% wanted change for a better tomorrow. It comes into a part where 9 protesters killed, and at least thousands of people have been arrested all because of "affiliation" of the protesters without any evidence during the riots. People are getting ran over by armored vehicles and suffocated by expired tear gases and use rubber bullets throughout different location within the cities. Martial law has been declared. Many locations are now have protestors marching. One of them is 12 clicks away from my house. President Prabowo also announced a curfew on all protesters that they must have permits and all demonstrations must be over by 6 pm.
*edit 15.03 pm: Bandung is now in the red zone. Students, civilians and security guards have been beaten and captured, and colleges have been overtaken by TNI/the national army.
*edit 19.46 pm: According to a leak , the DPR/Indonesian council is planning to block all SIM operators [Simpati, XL, M3, etc] within the country within next week. Here's hoping everyone already installed Cloudflare, Proton or any other VPN on their devices.

Hi, guys!

I just wanted to announce that I made a new Patreon, Ko-Fi and Instagram accounts. I created those accounts after being convinced by several of my closest friends. For the time being, both my Patreon and Ko-Fi will be alternative ways for people to transfer payments for commissioning me. As for Instagram, it's only for more of my presence on some of the more tamer stuff. Check 'em out! =D

Standalone commissions will be continued shortly. I'm almost done with the remaining deadlines and job application.

Hey gang!

Here's to everyone to have a great 4th of July this year! I hope everyone had a great time going out with friends and family eating hotdogs and have fun together. I know it's a bit late for me to celebrate, but I had to. Things have been incredibly busy for me for the past 3 months. Especially with deadlines and job application. There will be a 4th of July-related art from me very soon. As well as original art, fanart, and commissions. Actually, there are tons of finished art pieces and commissions that I haven't got the chance to post from years back. I should find them and upload them online x)

Since February, I've been trying to apply for different art/comic/graphic design jobs again. Things got slow and even more so with job interviews. Traffic in here can be very daunting. More so, during the evening. I wasn't able to go online much because of deadlines, commissions and job interviews. Especially on Youtube, Twitter and Bsky. There were a lot of things I needed to get done and I'm behind schedule again. I did say in my previous journals that I am still applying for jobs. Once I got accepted for the role, I'm still doing commissions. However, just only part time. My deepest apologies for the massive slow down on commissions. I've been trying to catch up to all of them. All of them will be done during this week and some of them will be shown and finished during the Secret Art Stream that will be broadcasted on my Youtube art channel. Along with other things I wanted to show during the stream. I want this stream to be special and it's to add up for lost time. I'm sorry for the delays on this stream as well. There will be a lot of surprises. So, stay tune! :)

I'm also getting rid of all my Adobe apps. I'll now be using CSP for most of the art and DaVinci Resolve for video editing. Expect more illustrations and videos from me from here on out ^_^

This stream broadcast will be announced soon. The activities that will be shown during this art stream:

- Introduction [approx. 5 minutes]
- Grimm’s 17th Anniversary, speech, old art showcase, etc [approx. 10 - 15 minutes]
- Djin/Jaeggernaut’s Commission [approx. 1 - 2 hours]
- YohaQT’s Commission [approx. 2 hours]
- CrestlineIceberg’s Commission [approx. 2 - 3 hours]
- Firedrive24’s Pages [approx. 3 - 4 hours]
- ZenosTheHunter’s Commission [approx. 1 - 2 hours]
- OC art/fanart/ [approx 2 hours]
-Gaming or literally anything else [approx. 30 - 45 minutes]
- End/prologue [approx. 5 minutes]

Schedule may change depending on time of broadcast, priorities, client input, hardware/software performance, and other reasons.

Hey, gang

It's sad to say that I'm going to cancel my participation in the Sega SEA Sonic Fanart Competition at the very last minute. Mostly because, at this point, my submission won't be finished beyond 60% completion in time before this midnight due to various reasons for the slow down. Mostly because I made the art piece too big [concept and size] to start with, too much time making the sketch, 3 hours behind due to bad sleep and my laptop can't handle the canvas size I wanted to have all the characters and details included. Despite me preparing for 5 days, I got pretty disappointed about it. Especially with how passionate I am with drawing Sonic fanart. I quickly got over it and just continue with commissions. I'll finish my submission for the next contest.

You can see a small preview of my unfinished submission in here: https://trello.com/1/cards/5fcb3f93.....load/image.png


Here's hoping everyone who submitted theirs have fun and wish the best of luck 🙂 As for me, there's always next year. Sorry to kept everyone waiting. Everything goes back to normal.

Hey, gang. Commissions are being paused atm. They will be continued once I'm done with this one Sonic fanart competition submission. Give me 2 days to complete this. It's a very detailed piece. After that, everything goes back to normal :)

Hi guys,

Sorry for the immense slow down for the past 2 months and the constant delays. A lot of things have happend during that time period. I haven't fixed my PC's SSD yet. Working everything on my laptop. Constantly getting terrible connections because the central ISP due to poor service. Sleeping schedule has been unintentionally gone back to bad. I slept in the morning and woke up at 8 PM. I'm also behind schedule again. I've been trying to get a grip on them. Been trying to get half the of the current commissions done so I can finally do an art stream again with SFW commissions, personal and fan art on Youtube.

Speaking of which, the Secret Art Stream will soon be announced. It'll finally be around this week. We'll be going through inking, coloring and shading with the SFW commmissions. I may do the one with blood and gore. Youtube can be a bit iffy with their terms and service evn with Age Restrictions enabled. We'll see. I want to get the remaining deadline commissions done first. I haven't been lucky on going online and doing streams because I constantly getting disconnected. Let's hope that I don't get disconnected during this stream. They did tell me that things are now doing fine.

And let's hope CSP doesn't quit itself during this stream because I'm seeing a few of that happening recently when I'm doing the recent commissions and other art x)


Commissions list:
1. Djinn - flats & inks only + crosshatch - inking - paid
2. ZenosTheHunter #17 - inking - paid
3. YorhaQT #2 - finalizing the different thumbnails and sketches - not paid yet
4. CrestlineIceberg - starting on the sketch - not paid yet

Deadlines:
1. Firedrive24 - 'The BIG Mating' page 1-2 & 'Monki Redux' page 1-2 inks only - done - paid
2. Firedrive24 - The BIG Mating' page 3-8 & 'Monki Redux' page 3-4 - not paid yet

My apologies for the delays. Windows 10 on my PC somehow got corrupted. I have no idea what caused it. It was working fine as usual before. I went back from the kitchen and realize that my monitor is displaying the 'preparing automatic repair' and 'diagnosing your pc' loading screens. I tried going through multiple automatic repairs and command prompts and it still gave me the 'automatic repair couldn't repair your pc' screen. I manage to back-up most of commissions and personal art before all of this. Sadly, I wasn't able to copy all the screencap video files that I was planning for future speedpaint and timelapse videos in the future. A lot of them were either still on my PC or haven't gone through the Expression Encode 4 conversion. I've checked again and there are no bad sectors detected. I'm still ashamed that this happened so sudden. Going to continue everything on my laptop until I could get my PC functional again. RAM, GPU and motherboard seems to be fine. I may need to open up emergency commissions again if my SDD or any of the other components cease to function anymore.

*Edit: It turns out Windows freeze up my PC and updated the OS without letting me know. Now, the update makes my PC think the DVD drive is the main storage while my SSD isn't detected.

A lot of people may know that I live in Indonesia. During the past several months, the country has been experiencing more decline. We're constantly getting censored by our own government and now our own vice president, Gibran, has recently admit that the country needs more A.I. The people did not agree to this. Indonesians have already viewed AI-generated images and videos to be scams. We don't need an over-reliance of AI. We don't need more surveillance in this country. We already have had enough from our own government spying on us 24/7. More jobs like graphic designers, animators and teachers are being replaced with AI and it has become more concerning as people lose their jobs. What the Indonesian government and corporations don't understand is that it feeds into the stereotype that Indonesians are lazy. AI isn't going to improve this country if we let it steal art, personal information and our identity. This just seems like an excuse to spy more on their own people and enables identity theft. Ever since this, there's been instances of people's whatsapp, facebook and twitter are being stolen. We're especially being watched over at Whatsapp. People's accounts are being banned and their posts are being deleted if you say anything critical about the Indonesian government online. How will all this online problems? Just let AI do it, they say. It's not going to work and never will. Meta already did that years ago and people hate it. Everyone knew by now that their facebook information is being stolen and sold. It didn't stop people from getting scammed, harassed and falsely accused on facebook either. I, unfortunately, was a victim of getting my first facebook account permanently banned by being falsely accuses and lost everything not too long ago.

During the middle of last month, Indonesia is updating their laws regarding the military. TNI RUU is being updated during this time. One of them is to update the age of retirement. That sounds good, but what made it controversial is the other new law for it. It says that they want to expand the military to spread everywhere and "combat" cyber terrorism. Which also translates to 'the internet/social media, within Indonesia, needs to be controlled by the Indonesian military'. This caused the Indonesian people to protest and riot. The new law is universally criticized by everyone, but the government decided to greenlight it anyway. This means that the national army is given more power with this revised law. Riots ensues, molotovs being thrown, lives losts, and dead rats and pigs are being delivered to offices. The new law is giving the military more rights than their own citizens. Criticism of the goverment and military is going to result in prison. The people are rejecting the army act and we cannot trust our own goverment, police and military any longer.

Me, personally, I honestly don't like where my country has been heading. Things do indeed have gotten worse, and our own government isn't listening to us, the people, and our voices. It's going to get a lot darker if this continues. Even the Indonesian president, Prabowo, himself got defensive on live TV when he was being interviewed on CNN Indonesia just yesterday. None of the questions given to him he answered honestly. He constantly makes excuses and downplays the issues listed as "no big deal". He also accused the demonstrations as entirely "being paid". It was embarrassing to listen to him and seeing how out of touch he is. So much bad faith going on. He's infamously known to make people "disappear". Especially towards journalists. Indonesia right now isn't looking too good and, in a few years, is going to fracture if this keeps up. The law enforcement isn't going to do anything, the mafia owns everything, and the government has been borrowing so much money from China. This isn't going to be pretty for the future to come for all of us Indonesians who still live here. More of our rights are being taken away and our lives are going to be in danger. Our very way of life is at stakes here. We're heading into yet another tyrannical era within this country. Our freedom is being jeopardize. May God help us all and let us have a much brighter path within the foreseeable future.

I'm back!

The Sonic fan meetup went incredible and I met a lot of new great people there. Sorry for the 2 days offline from me after the 14th. My social battery and coffee was out the moment the party was over. I'm fine now and everything should return to normal again. There were things I wanted to bring to the fan meet-up, but couldn't because of little time and sleep I had to prepare. In the end, I did have fun.

There's always next time :)

The recent fan meet-up made me think that maybe I should invest into a small graphics tablet for portable or outside use. There's certainly no way I'm bringing my display tablet. That thing is already a massive space-hogger. Even more so when it's on the laptop stand that looks like a music sheet holder with legs.


I'm still open for art commissions. I've got 2 slots left for availability. However, I won't be replying on Discord and Twitter. I'm still on my hiatus when it comes to Discord and Twitter's messaging system have become much more faulty as time goes. I'm much more active on FA, gmail and bluesky.

Art and commissions have been slow since yesterday. I've been trying to prepare something for today. I'm going to an evening meet-up with a fandom group. In 3 hours, all art will be halted.

There's going to be an art stream once I'm back :)

A few prices may need to be changed. I'm still trying to figure out the prices for digital painting and comics. They're the only commission types that takes more time to make because it has much more details and longer process than the others. I’m currently calculating what’s the best cost is for them so that I’m not underpaid and overpaid for the service I provide drawing them.


For the time being, digital painting will be $60/80/90 [headshot/half body/full body] while extras for it are pretty much the same. Comics will be $50/60/75/90 [lines-only/inks+flats/full render/digital painting]. I’m still wondering what the limit is for the amount of panels on a single page. Extras are still mostly the same. An extra panel is still $10, but it will decrease or increase depending on the amount of characters and background is being added. Overall prices for comics can differ. You can strike a deal with me. I’m also open to short and long-term projects :)

Hi, guys 🙂 I'm low on rent for this month and I'm currently opening 4 commission slots right now. I'm open for both local and international clients now. I don't really have a limit. So, I'm pretty flexible with both sfw and nsfw :> Hit me up if you're interested ^^

*Edit: Don't send me a message through Twitter and Discord. Twitter is faulty and has a hacker problem that hasn't been fixed and I'm on my hiatus when it comes to Discord.

Hey guys,

Sorry that art, commissions and messaging have been rather slow from me during this week. My country is undergoing protests and demonstrations against censorship and police corruption again. This causes IPS to become slow or shut down on different occasions and there's been an on-going hack towards facebook, instagram, google and any account that has Meta on it. Cyber security isn't looking too good atm.

I've lately came back after watching Sonic The Hedgehog 3 at a theater during midnight and, oh my gawd, it made me left all jaw-dropping and completely speechless. I can't wait for Sonic 4.

Hi, guys.

I wanted to say that if a link was sent from my Steam account, never click on it. I was informed by multiple people from my mutuals group that my account got hacked. I'm really sorry I just found out about it. I was incredibly busy with IRL, art and commissions. Thank you so much to various amounts of people who told me about this. Sorry I wasn't fast enough, and it got people worried. My account is fine now. I've already changed the password and a few of my personal info.

Been an incredibly slow start for February coming from me. Here's hoping I could pump out a Valentines-themed art. I need to treat myself with a comic or digital painting at least.

I've become very exhausted for the past 2 - 3 days after drinking 2 cans of energy drink during the morning. It's been a while since I drank any energy drink. I ran out of tea and coffee. I thought it would give me extra time before falling asleep completely, but nope. Lasted about 40 minutes. It didn't help that I have terrible sleeping schedule as well. This is my first bad decision I've ever made in 2025 so far.

Hi everyone,

I wanted to make an announcement that DirtyHands needs your support. They're open to do commissions and also has a patreon and suscribestar. They said any bit counts and there will be rewards for patrons and subscribers.

https://www.furaffinity.net/view/59355128/

Christmas stream is going live now. I'm going to stream Sonic Unleashed with mods and then Shadow The Hedgehog. Another stream will happen as a follow-up to this one sometime later.

Today marked the day I became 31 years old. I honestly don't know what to say xD But, yeah, what a year this has been :) 2024 has been underwhelming for me with a lot of downs, but I still keep going and survived. I would like to thank everyone for the B-day greetings and to those who have helped me throughout the years. With 2024 about to come to an end, here's hoping next year to be a lot better ^^

hey guys I've got some updates.

Sorry for those who are expecting new stuff from me, and that I went inactive again. I've been going through a lot for the past several months. Things gotten very slow. however, that's going to change. During those months things haven't been progressed too well. Things didn't go as planned and went out of control. I ran out of money again than I could earn and save. Which is why it's best if I move out of the house. Living in my house is too much atm. I've been planning this for months now. The reason why I'm doing this is for different reasons. It's to

- change/downgrade my lifestyle
- save money
- live on my own or with someone
- focus more on work and/or commissions
- meet new people
- less distractions

Full-time is going to change as well. If I don't meet a certain amount of cash being earned through doing full-time freelance artist to pay for rent, then 'm going to apply for a job and it's most-likely a low or mid entry level one. It doesn't matter tbh. Just as long as the pay is good and I survive. I gotta start from somewhere at least. Again, I have to apologize for those who have been looking forward to me because of my art and comms for months now. Good things come to those who wait. The remaining overdue comms are in near completion as we speak. All of them will be done by today or tomorrow.

here's hoping this plan and everything else is going to work out. I was going to plan this after New Years but naw I gotta get things done asap.

Alright so

Sorry about the vague description from the previous journal and if it made people worry. I was in a rush and didn't think things through. What's basically happening is that i'm having another anxiety attack again while a lot of personal stuff has been thrown at me nonstop. The plan was that everything was supposed to be done way before last week. Everything was supposed to be fine but because of dramas and distractions from the family happening yet again everything got delayed again. There was also supposed to be another Youtube art stream officially announcing the date and time. Because of what's currently been happening behind this screen recently the art stream is now cancelled or until I could reschedule it at a different time. I'm not mentally well. I'm just so tired and exhausted with what's going on within my family. I apologize for those who have been waiting for me for a while now. Thanks for your patience for those who still support me even when i'm at my slowest and/or unsuccessful moments.

Atm I can't stand being in this house anymore if I'm going to be honest. Too many noises. To much negativity. Too many distractions going on that keeps me from getting my work and comms done on time. Especially with a certain previous incident that happened a while ago. Which is why i'll have to move out some way or another. There is a place I've been meaning to stay after some time planning. The problem is always money. I could always open up an infinite amount of slots for the next wave once I'm finally done with what's left with the remaining comms. Possibly look up for more gigs. Work on as many commissions until I could save up to live on my own or rent with someone. There's also plans for replacing my old DDR3 computer, but we're not there yet. The priority right now is to get things done. Again, I apologize to many of you if i've been so slow and I really thank those who still support me after all this time. I can' thank you guys enough. I really should give you guys free fanart for your fantastical support over the years. You made me feel special. I will try to pump out faster drawings including the next wave.
