I've done and said a lot of things about a year ago, and maybe a year before that. I don't make promises, I just tell myself and other people things that seem ideal at that given moment, and before I know it, I'm off and onto other things. Over the past year, I underwent major surgery and had a massive ~5 lb tumor removed - along with my uterus. I suffered from severe anemia for a long time because of that, and now that I'm tumor- and uterus-free, and fully recovered, I've had energy like I've never had before.
I'm way more productive nowadays, but my real life comes first before I really bother with anything online. I haven't forgotten the game, but nothing's really changed as far as it goes being on the back-burner. I don't really know anyone who would be interested in discussing the game and character-development, and one of the most inspiring things for me is to talk to someone about Creepypasta things and what inspired me to make the game in the first place. It's the journey and character development, and exploring themes and facets of popular creations in Creepypasta that haven't been totally explored before, I feel. It's not a fanservice otome. It's something that's meant to be explored along with exploring yourself, in a way. Immersion.
...But, it's hard to think about things like that when I don't really have anyone to enthuse with or deeply discuss these kinds of things. Besides, I'm more worried about carving out a future for myself currently, given how shaky things have been with my circumstances, and I'm finally taking the reins into my hands. I've been staying off social websites like this one and Tumblr, and I've been feeling freer, more positive, and unhampered - though, I haven't had much inspiration to draw. I don't really have a muse, per se, but I've been digging into old inspirations like Homestuck and OC's to help me get back in the mood. I definitely want to draw more Creepypasta stuff, too. I'm not involved with the CP community the way I used to be, but I like it that way. I like being in the background, it gives me more space and freedom to think and do what I like.
If there's anything I know based on personal observation, it's that the CP community is a mean one full of toe-biters, particularly when it comes to dA. dA is a lot like a tar pit, and I've watched many talented artists get a lot of hate or pressure for their own inspired characters and stories before sinking, sinking, then suddenly vanishing from all that weight. Not gonna lie, the circle of hatred on dA baffles me. Like, if I ever wind up getting as much hate as other artists have for their characters and stories... I am half-tempted to just save everything for a personal album, maybe. Something to giggle at, because I really don't understand any of it.
...Well, that wandered off fast! ovo Still, I'm happy to just be writing about something. Hope all is well for anyone who reads this!

Oh wow.
I haven't touched my DA in, like, two years... And, looking back on things, I think my gallery could use some cleaning up. I'd like to share a little more on what I've been brainstorming lately, and show off some new OC's once I get some reference art of them down. I've been up to other things and have been more active in other places, but I think I should probably check up here at least once in a while. Thanks for all the comments and favorites over the past two years, though I'm sorry for not getting back to any of you. I hope you're all doing well.
Slooowly re-tracking myself...
Depression has been hitting me on and off for the past few months, though I can safely say I'm doing all right now - just bustling away on this year's OMG!con cosplay and focusing on one of my life goals. I've also settled down to think about the stories for the CP dating sim again, and more of it is becoming clear in my head to a degree. I hope to sit down and actually write out one of the storylines soon, but all things in the intro come first - the intro works more like the stem of a plant, and then it splits into all the different roots after a certain point. Making that flow is important.
I've also come to realize that references are
Thinking about narrating some CP's again, maybe.
I haven't really been active on dA at all, and I haven't really been producing much art lately (though I do doodle from time to time.) In all honesty, I've just lost a lot of inspiration for anything over the past few months, and I feel pretty isolated at the edge of the world, teetering in and out of reality. Though, maybe that long-term isolation is just what I needed to start something new, I don't know for sure...
Either way, I've considered giving some story narrations another go (because practicing and trying for VA positions in other productions has led me absolutely nowhere, and I think I really just need to establish what I'm alre
Hello!
...So, I disappeared off the face of the planet for a bit. I wanna get back into my Creepypasta groove.
In the time that I've been gone, I've had many adventures with loneliness and depression...of which, I will not go into detail about, because I don't want to upset sensitive readers who may have similar issues going on right now. I'm doing a bit better now because I've opened up to multiple rl friends about it, so they now know, and I feel more grounded in reality now.
-----(And now I ramble about OC's.)-----
I'm thinking about making art of some original OC's that aren't fan-OC's, too - I've had a few babies sitting in my head for a w
