Sorry for not being around to at least get something out and drawn for the Halloween holiday. I actually had a couple things drafted a while ago to go with the holiday, but I know I’ve already done missed the deadline.

Better to get those done late than never at all, right? (That’s been a tradition with me, too.)

Befitting with the spooky month by sheer coincidence, these past few weeks have reduced me to an utter wreck, from already having to deal with an impersonator (them being on a platform I myself no longer associate with, ever since August of this year) to generally being concerned about my own personal safety.

As such, I’m taking a bit of a break from these platforms to clear my head; taking a hiatus, basically.

It’s technically been around a week (more or less) in, and I’m already feeling somewhat better. I’ve been able to strictly focus on my Graphic Design degree a lot more (which is saying a ton, since full-time art college is no joke), and in a sense, this hiatus is prepping me more for real life out in the world.

This is just another update post to let you all know I’m doing fine, and am learning to live without many of the stresses of social media. I’ll be moving on from all of this eventually.

Happy Halloween!

And best wishes to you all,

If it ain't obvious, I've made it somewhat clear I'd never come back to DeviantART. Ever.

To no surprise, I'm being impersonated behind my back.

From what I could find, some rando is stealing my identity, using a very old name I never use at all anymore.

From first impressions, you might think it's just a low-quality archive page, but digging deeper, it gets worse from there. Not only are they acting very immaturely (they're of the "logo-remaking" kind, a community I've left FOREVER ago, thank christ), but are verbally threatening people (one of their comments was a death threat, something I never wish upon anybody).

Since I kept my "no more dA" promise, I'm without many ways to report them, so I leave it you all to bring justice and take this account down. If that's not possible, please spread the word on there to anyone oblivious.

Wish you all luck,

For the few people that cared about my TwentyPuff AU, I'm retiring it effective immediately.

It's already been mostly inactive (only 2–3 doodles for it in 2023; no one to blame but myself), so there's no point in me going back and forth between it being semi-active or inactive if I don't actively care to continue it anytime sooner or later.

Another factor as to why I gave up on it was its predominant design influence now leaving a very bitter taste in my mouth, the influencer of which (teacup) I have since cut all connection from, of my own free will.

Her very-controversial AkuBloss ship and, more recently, her shamelessly advertising her 18+ alt (you can guess what AU of hers is in that without me mentioning it), have simultaneously haunted my daily conscience long enough. NO MORE OF IT!!!

It's yet another one of those things I blame my ignorant teenage-self on for stumbling upon that rabbit-hole to begin with.

I'm in my twenties now. Things are gonna change for the better around here.

From here on out, it's pretty much gonna be how it already was for the past several months: drawing stuff for only the original PPG timeline.

I've been having a lot more fun drawing normal Powerpuff stuff anyway.

Hell, I've honestly surprised myself with my "Western Blossom" piece from this very year.

Hope I've explained enough, and I'll see y'all again whenever I can devote more time to art.

it's about time i did this.

i've killed off my deviantart account for the sake of my own well-being.

it was the same stuff every day to where i got sick of it.

it's a new era for me. an era without that site holding me down.

let's hope it goes smoothly.

For those who paid attention to my recent Twitter post (while it was still up), the platform's been killed. I no longer desire a Twitter.

There’s no point in further running a platform powered purely by the worst and most annoying of people (not saying that about everyone there, but you get what I mean).

Things are gonna change for the better in my social space.

As for DeviantART, that’s the next one for me to eventually leave (as already stated on that very profile). That site carries a different stench (dA mostly being unapologetically horny for the worst concepts to make seedy, rather than being abhorrently annoying), and I guess I currently have a bit of hesitance to leave it, given I’m desensitized to how awful it is and how I’ve set a standard for myself because of it. For what I doodle, I know what to keep to myself, since it’d hurt both me and all of you to really (and I mean REALLY) push what boundaries I’ve already set and rarely ever extend on.

Leaving that place is still on the chopping block, but it might be a little while compared to Twitter before I commit to it.

Unlike my Twitter, I’ll prolly still keep DeviantART up for the sake of interaction and archive; I just prolly won’t post art there anymore eventually.

That leaves both my YouTube channels (which exist purely for random crap I think of any day and the seldom logo-recon uploads whenever ideas and motivation spark), my Newgrounds, my Tumblr and my Discord. It’ll now be down to a more digestible amount of platforms.

Now that I’ve written on about my Twitter leave enough, I leave you all with a hearty goodbye.

Have a great day, and I’ll see you whenever,

Hello to all here.

I decided to come here as another outlet for my art. I've posted several pre-done pictures regarding this year, but beyond that, everything else is relatively new.

Rating of my stuff will pretty much range between Everyone and Teen (13+). Mature doodles are a dime a dozen, if ever uploaded, and are rated accordingly.

Need I make it clear that I shift between the sketch-like linework in FireAlpaca, and the occasional escalation to polishing stuff in Inkscape. This would explain why certain pieces have slightly crude or rough linework.

With all that said, have fun looking around, I suppose.
