Deviant for 20 years? Good grief. Anyway, I am here. I was taking care of my parents, but they both passed away this year. Weird to be an orphan, man. Life's up the in air, but I should get my drawing mojo back eventually. In better news (and also way overdue), I've finally finished the full rough draft of Healer, Killer. All three books! I wanted to have more than just one chapter done before I updated, and to finish edits on the old stuff, and then ended up needing to figure out and finalize what I needed to get to the end. Absolutely surreal to see the scenes I planned out in, like, 2005 finally on screen (if still in crap draft format). (If anyone's even still wanting to read it after so long, don't go re-reading anything yet though, I made a lot of edits and it's not up yet. Is FF.net even still around? I guess it's AO3 nowadays.)

Hello! Checking in again. I've had to move in with my parents to take care of them, but I was able to set up my computer better this time (I stayed here last year while remodeling and couldn't use it, so I took up knitting instead, LOL). Making a ton of progress on finally finishing the redraw of the comic so I can continue instead. I hate that I had to redraw it, but these backgrounds look so much better I have come to terms with it. (Ten damn years though: back up your work, you will regret not doing it!!)

Hi, i want to compliment you for your TLoD works. It is rare to find good fanart of Shirley in normal clothes. Is she in your profile picture? Im taking inspiration in order to make her in Skyrim through mods but is hard. Your pictures are helping me out. Thx.

Thanks! Yes, she's in my profile, it's from a picture I started a long time ago but haven't yet finished. I like figuring out the different outfits since her actual in game one would be pretty hard to fight in, heh.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY! :airborne:

i know I'm a week early, but I'm not on deviant as much as I would like, extreme to the busy. I just wanted to drop in and wish you a great birthday! ^_^
