...Oh. Yeah.  

This place.

This place really did get fucking dusty. Oh christ.

Well, good news. I’m still alive, come over to windy017.deviantart.com/ and join me in one man’s quest to “get gud” with drawing. That’s if you still care about me and all that. Guess what, i have new stuff! Go check it out!

Oh, and sorry for that disappearing act. Just one of life's many curve balls.

Update coming soon.

And i mean, real soon.

It's kind of hard to upload stuff when your scanner doesn't agree with you. But that kind of nonsense is taken care of.

I got to clean this place up, it's so fucking dusty...

Sorry for the long absence, i have my reasons. I just noticed how out of depth i am with drawing right now. Will explain later.

This place is going to be cleaned up a little once i get my head in gear and i learn how to draw "correctly" (See "Something I'm happy with, it doesn't feel like I'm improving)

As i say before, i will explain later. Just bare with me.

When updating schedule's as bad as these, is there even a point? Do people even read my stuff here and there? I wish i knew. It feel's like i'm talking to myself.

I'm going to be quick here, I've been working on some drawings. Trying to learn how to do lineart and coloring better. That Charmander/Charazard drawing has lineart, and i've started coloring it. I've also done lineart on another drawing of Karin White of All my friends are Robots, Which I'm more happy with. Another drawing is coming up soon, just need to start on it, and maybe i might get to color that too.

There is a slight problem, however. It appears that i've been, for the past few months, When it comes to doing Love and Chaos, been hit with Al De Baran syndrome. If your unaware, and chances are you are. Al De Baran was one of the more popular Ragnarok Online comics that started way before Love and Chaos did. Al De Baran ended up going in indefinite hiatus after so long, normally it was just late pages and the odd hiatus here and there. When i started Love and Chaos a few years ago. I was expecting my comic to go in a sudden death hiatus a few months after starting. Not ended up being the fricking last one standing. And, to be honest, From what i can see anyway. The Ragnarok Online comic scene in Drunkduck.com (Or "The Duck" as it's called now, I'm too used to Drunkduck) is pretty dead. Forgive me if I'm wrong, but it feels pretty dead to me. I'm pretty sure it's due to Drunkduck having that facelift back when the website was unstable to all hell, kinda still feels like that too.

One of the flaw's about the newer version of Drunkduck is that, that bugs me to all hell that i don't know what to think about it any more is that, for older comic's anyway... i think, it doesn't show page views. Total page views is permanently stuck for me at 0. So i have no indication if people are really reading this or not. At least before the massive facelift, i had a slight idea if people where reading. Chance's are it wasn't 100% genuine as it felt a bit too good to be true. But the page views where apparently going up and it was motivating. I can't see the page views going up by itself for shit's and giggles if no one is really reading it.

Another thing that bugs me with updating Love and Chaos is the story... it just, doesn't feel that thought out now. Pretty much everything has been thought of on the fly. And there are loads of discontinuity's and stuff. I don't know what other people think, but it just doesn't feel right to me. I read some of those pages and i think to myself "...what the fuck have i been thinking with this?" because the quality of the story just feel's iffy to me.

Now, I'm happy with the 40 pages i did here. The remake of the First Chapter. I have said to myself that what i've done here, can basically stand on it's own two feet without the time traveling and stuff. So not everything bugs me. But when it comes to trying to start on the next chapter. I often find myself asking myself questions about it's quality. I have the time to do them, but it's a mix of "Are people really reading this and is the quality good enough all round", "I can't think what happens next, how will i do it this time?" and "...Can i really be arsed?".

When it comes to trying to start on LAC, it just feels like my head is full of shit. And i honestly don't know what to do. I'm kinda tempted to just leave it, yet it would feel like i've betrayed those who have been reading it, in a bit of a cliff hanger too.

Fuck knows, i need to think about it more. If i come to a conclusion, I'll mention it here. Help would be very appreciated to help me decide.

Anyway, On the slightly bright side. I have a tumblr for all my rants and random stuff. Go ahead and watch me. I've made it so i can basically put in whatever i want in tumblr, and anything work related can be placed here. It should for the most part make it more clean. And i wouldn't mind random questions and stuff. Shameless Advertisement ho!

...I just noticed i already mentioned it before, fuck it. Take two.

Just going to update the journal quickly. Seeing that i haven't and not doing so makes me look dead. But, there's not much of a difference.

First off, I think i might try and have an active tumblr account. The main idea being that i just update it when i have some time. As its more... Blog like. And i want to talk about more than just me failing at drawing stuff. For now, excuse the near emptiness. I only have one real upload and that's about "Evil Zone", if you guy's remember that. I should really draw Setsuna again. And stuff. So yeah, Check that out. It has Gaming, Stalking, Rants and whatever can be found in garage at the time.

I think i might upload a piece on Ragnarok Online...

I'll try and get into starting the next chapter of Love and Chaos. I was planning for last week. But then i got my ass kicked by a nasty little illness. And that pretty much knocked me out for the entire week. That was nasty. Haven't been unwell like that in such a long time. It's about time i get started on that next chapter.

All my friends are robots is going along slowly and nicely. The first area is nearly done. Just need to do a few little cut scenes and then i can move on to the next area. The idea for that is that i work on it at least once a week. Considering i have days off from college. This should be manageable for someone like me who never plans stuff out... Until i end up getting a part time job somewhere. But for now, this little schedule will work out nicely.

This schedule will also hopefully allow me to work on Question of Loyalty. I am so bad when it comes to keeping that updated. And i think i should try and change that.

I should apologize on the lack of streaming i was planning to do doing the summer. It's kind of hard for me to settle a time for doing that. And even if i did settle a time to stream, even just a hour or two of X-com. I have to hope that my internet hasn't been capped. And if that was to happen, Then i simply cannot stream. Three episodes where done of my time attempting to play X-Com. And the streaming where "successful", so i know i can do it. It's just my time and upload speed that are the main problem.

I should really just post some video's or something. Anyway, i uploaded those streams onto YouTube. If you want to watch my time on X-Com, and other small stuff. And maybe stuff in the future. Then here you go. Enjoy and give me feedback, that would be lovely.

Anyway, im going to get back to work on All My Friends are Robots. Sorry for the lack of everything as usual.
