hey, just wanted to make a quick update of what has been happening lately behind the scenes just in case I went MIA or smth idk
been busy with exams and thesis stuff
finally managed to (sorta) circumvent the issue with Krita so it shouldn't be a problem for now
have some important artwork that needs to be finished this month (need to finish it before May 18)
gonna be especially busy on May 14, you'll see why once it reaches that date LOL
I'll be pretty busy prepping for college for the next upcoming months
and I'll be taking a few quick breaks to relieve from stress
so yeah that's about it, see ya.

Hey, so i wanted to lay out whats being happening lately after i uploaded my last update post because things drastically changed when i uploaded it so bear with me.
I'm announcing that I won't be much active as I used to or possibly even a hiatus because I have been struggling with trying to draw both technically and mentally.
The first problem is that Krita hasn't been working as intended and I'm still trying to figure out the source of where the problem is. I am trying out different art softwares such as Firealpaca or CSP but it'll be hard for me to transition to another since I have gotten used to Krita.
Another problem is that I've been having a hard time planning out when I need to draw because right now, my attention has been focused on 2nd semester and trying to relive myself from the stress I've gotten both from drawing and school.
So yes, I won't be able to interact as much as I used nowadays but hopefully once my problems are resolved and when things have calm down a little that I can focus on doing my passion: building my ng account while having fun with it.
So TLDR, I'm going on hiatus for a bit but expect some finished projects being posted probably next week or smth.
I hope you all understand and I'll see you later <3

hello! hi! It's a pleasure to see you here, have you come to know what I have been cooking so far? Well then, take a seat little one. I'm gonna talk about what I have been doing for the past two months and what's in store for you shortly.
So, first off, if you have been keeping tabs on me for a while (which in this case wtf? And also thanks. I guess?), you may have noticed that I've been participating in a few collabs this year and that's because I want to participate as many collabs as possible so that I can challenge myself in seriously growing my ng account. So far, I have joined three collabs this year with a fourth and fifth one coming.
I do like the idea of starting my own collab but if I don't see a real reason why to start one other than to make more followers then it feels redundant. One of the reasons why I'm joining collabs (and why I started to love them) is because it invites participation and (like the name suggests) collaboration with other people who share the same talents and interests with you and seeing the final product with you included gives you that sense of pride and gratitude that you can only get by participating. That is also one of the things why I love Newgrounds, not only it supports indie animators, composers, game developers, & artists; but it also encourages collaboration, leading to a wave of many collabs.
ok, now that I'm done talking about collabs, let's talk about my drawings/artworks.
So far, I have been drawing (slightly) consistently for the past two months, some of them were intended for collabs while others were more experimental. Lately, my art style has been more graffiti/pop-based. you can see that I first used it on my LUCIE artwork. My graffiti/pop-based art style is inspired by BaasNG (one of my favorite ng artists for his graffiti-esque artworks) and Kor0kke (for his extravagant coloring and pop-art style). I also love making my art into advertising posters or magazine art because I have been thinking of taking advertising art courses in universities or colleges.
I don't really wanna talk about what drawings I've been working on because there are so many unfinished artworks that we'll be here all day talking about them one by one. So just note that yes, I have some artworks that are planned to be finished this month and for the upcoming days but WHEN they'll be finished will depend on how much time I have as well as my current mood.
Also, I now have a Ko-Fi page! In my last update post, I talked about wanting to start doing commissions and so I plan on doing just that using Ko-Fi but I plan on fully opening it in summer. As of now, my Ko-Fi page is mainly a way to support me financially so if you want to give me a reason to pursue my hobby as a full-on career, go donate to me through Ko-Fi!
Anyway, those are the main things I want to talk about in my update post, there are some things I want to talk about such as school, irl, and whatnot but I want to make this update post brief and short just talk about what I have been doing lately. All right, that's it, good night!

Hello hello! Its been a while since my last update so I might as well chronicles the stuff that happened ever since my last update.
Ok now that I have gotten most of the things I wanted to update about, here is the main thing I'm most excited to talk about: my art projects.
So far I'm restricting myself from coming up with new drawing ideas because I don't want to clog up my artwork files with unused drawings so I've been focusing on finishing pre-existing drawings so that I can pump them out consistently.
Here are a sneak peek of most of them:
And now I want to talk about them one-by-one:
And with that, I'll be going to sleep now. Good night!

HaHa! Oh wow! it's been that since I made my last update blog? Huh. Anyway, since I'm now back to school, here are some updates as to what I have been doing for the past few weeks.
And that's about it, I might have probably missed a few things I want to talk about but those are the main things that I wanted to update about. Until then, see you guys at Madness Day.

hello there! It’s been a while since I made my last update post so I want to make a new one because a lot has happened for the past few months; some good, some bad but I have big plans and changes for this year so I want to address them all just in case if there are some confusions. This will be a quick update because after writing this post, I will very busy with both drawing and real life so uhhhh yeah.
Before I start, I’ve made a promise that once I reach 200 followers on Newgrounds, I’ll be dancing the infamous JoJo torture dance. If you want to see me, do it, go follow me on Newgrounds which will not only motivate me to continue my hobby of drawing but also do the torture dance.
So, the first thing I want to address is my pico timelapse, I know I said that I’ll be working on it but I’ve been neglecting to finish it because so much has been happening after finishing the artwork that it has been less of a priority. Probably once I have free time, I could finish it but as of right now, it’ll be on hold until I have enough time to finish it.
As for June, it’ll probably be my busiest because not only I’ll be posting my submission for the Eddsworld artwork, but also, I’ll be preparing as well as taking my UPCAT exams so I’ll be less active next month. I’ll be reviewing and studying my hardest next month so yeah good luck to me, I guess.
Speaking of Eddsworld, yes I am gonna participate in the Eddsworld charity contest because not only it helped me teach the basics of being in a community as well as being a huge inspiration for my drawing/art style, but it also helped me get through some of the hardest moments of my life so this series holds a special place in my heart and I want to make sure that I do my drawing right. I’m still thinking of what I should do for my Eddsworld, I don’t want it to be overly ambitious like my pico day drawing but I want it to be something that I'm proud of. Probably next week I’ll start planning out what will it be and sketching it.
Ok, THIS is why I want to make an update blog in the first place, I have made a new Twitter account wherein I’ll be posting mainly brawl stars artwork. If you’re wondering why I'm doing this is because its difficult for me to promote my bs drawings since my personal acc mostly targeted at us ng people (blame my egotistical self lol). I also want to use this opportunity to practice posting weekly artwork because I always procrastinate when I’m not in a drawing mood and I want to empty my creative juice as much as possible because it has been filling up over time. Don’t worry, I will still be posting non-brawl stars, personal, and ambitious drawings on my personal acc, I just want to experiment myself If I can balance myself both online and in.
As for drawing, I have so many drawing ideas that I want to do but since time is a bitch, I’ll lay them all here for you guys to see so that I can remind myself to finish most of them (some of them are nearly done but I either lost motivation or busy with other drawings):
So yeah, that’s all of them. Some of them are close to being finished so expect some of them to be posted in the coming weeks once this update blog is posted.
On a more serious note, my grandpa has recently passed away and my family has been hard at work preparing for his funeral so I won't be active during the weekends but don’t worry cuz most likely I have prepared some drawings that I’ll be posting on Friday (probably).
And yeah, that should be it, I hope this will bring more clarity as to what’s been happening behind the scenes and that’s about it, see ya.

hello hello yes I am currently alive and well
still not very active online but that's ok
life has been steady lately for a while, my cat has given birth to 3 kittens and my family has been taking care of them for the past month. I hope they'll be able to grow strong cuz rn, two of the kittens have hurt one of their eyes and we are treating them with the prescribed medicine from the vets so I pray to god that they'll be ok. In other news, I just had my academic break last week and I gotta say, it didn't fully recharge my energy from all of the stuff happened from 1st semester. maybe its because the teachers still keep notifying us about 2nd semester while we are on break :) (it didn't help at all guys, thanks). So yes, 2nd semester has started and so far, I really just want to get this over with so I can continue my drawings.
speaking of drawings. yes I am working on two drawings right now. One I am especially excited because it has been nearly two months of no new drawing so I'm super excited to have that finish and to get back into drawing again. I am working on the 2nd drawing but its only going to be quick just for trends lol. I've already teased of what my drawing is on discord on the ngp so yeah. I forgot to mention, I'm also thinking of doing a lupin 3rd drawing just because my lupin 3rd fanboy within me has decided to awaken from last year and wants me to draw it so maybe once I'm done with both of the artworks, I might do that as well.
As for newgrounds stuff, I am planning on participating more ng related events because I enjoy my time from both the secret Santa event as well as the sketch collab event. I've already heard of the summer event as well as the writing contest so I am currently trying to get application for the summer event (lets just hope by the time my bday happens, they send me the invite lol) as well as planning of what my story is for the writing contest. this is also a stretch but I am also trying to participate on the opening animation for the summer event because I do want to continue trying out more on animation. I don't think they won't apply me but it doesn't hurt to try so oh well, I am definitely willing to participate in this year's sketch collab so stay tuned for that lmao.
so yeah, that's all I have to say for February, definitely a solid month for me as I am now a kitten dad as well as getting my shit together all in one place so I am doing much better than from last month. I'm gonna go continue my school work so that I can continue drawing. Anyway, that's about it, see ya.
