Yay for me. I tried changing my avatar as well but devart sucks a fat nut so it isn't working right for whatever reason. Maybe I'll draw something this week, maybe I'll let this page sit unused for another 5 months. WHO KNOWS.

I've noticed as of the last year I've just simply not sat down and drawn anything more then casual doodling, stuff that I'd not waste time posting here on deviant art.

A recent post by Icysamune enlightened me to something and reminded me that this is basically my personal artspace and well.. I've decided a few things.

The first and foremost is that as some of my devwatchers may have noticed, I cleaned up my favorites and my deviation gallery. You might find the trend behind this is that any art I'd consider straight up BE fetish stuff has been basically removed on both parts. It's no hard feelings towards anyone whose drawings I've removed.

I've simply decided to take this deviantart gallery straight, as in the drawings here will no longer be aimed solely towards the BE community. Sure it won't be as popular that way and I'd be happy if anyone who added me to their devwatch list kept keeping an eye out for anything I post but I'd like for this page to stay clean enough that I don't need to hide it from relatives and personal friends... even though a couple of friends are in my devwatch list allready.

If I do make art related to BE or otherwise I'll post it at the process under my alias there, which anyone with half a brain can surely guess , it's only slightly different then my devart ID. Alternativly fanart for anything on lightfoots' site will simply be emailed to him directly instead of posted on here. Thanks for 2 years of support, and I'll leave the lot of you on my devwatch list , I simply won't be favoriting questionable material.

Anways, I'm happy to say that as of today my rut is over and done with. Enjoy hopefully weekly updates like that drawing of Eve there. As I admitted in that drawings description I mined some older stuff I made, in this case I think that was drawn atleast 6 months ago but nonetheless I felt like sharing it with you guys.

No promises here but I'm aiming for 1-2 drawings per week from now on.

So It kind of pains me to say it for the 2 or 3 people that may have been interested in it but any comic that I've been planning to do for the last 6 months shall be henceforth placed on hiatus.

I've been racking my brain for awhile now thinking it's a huge problem that I don't draw enough and all that but it finally dawned on me that I just needed a total vacation from drawing. Sure I doodle at work occasionally but I've basically not made a single serious attempt at drawing all year. For the first time in the last couple years though I'm perfectly okay with this, I realize I just need to stop for awhile.

My whole niku comic idea specifically was a bit of a motivater in this chong bongery, I was never completly happy with the idea or the execution of the idea, even though I had a 14 page rough draft drawn up with a tentative script I really wasn't happy with it and frankly didn't feel like drawing it. Comics are hard work and a huge time investment, if things aren't totally to my liking I either scrap it or go back to the initial design phaze. For the time being, feel free to make any fanart of Niku / Lyla. I'm a fan of the characters I created but I'm just not a fan of any of my storyline ideas. .


I figured I'd atleast make this journal update to let anyone watching my dev page know that I'm still alive, 23 years old now and just taking a drawing break.

I don't think this break will last too much longer though, you can bet when I do update it'll be with a deviation that I'm sure will be looked at.

Title being a parody of my November 6th update. My goals for Niku 0 have come and gone but I'm still working on it, I'd like to remind everyone to LOOK AT THE SCRAPS SECTION. I've placed nearly more things in there then under deviations , there is something for Xenodora in there and 2 pieces of art for Niku 0. So have a look and enjoy. As mentioned in the atla drawing in the scraps section, I'm done the 12 page comic outline in thumbnail size. I merely need to draw the actual comic and all the fun stuff that goes with it such as inking scanning and editing. Current goal is to have it done by the end of the year. The difference from that original schedule though- I don't think I'll take as big a break between 0 and 1. I'm more excited to draw issue 1 then issue 0 but 0 is kind of nesseccary. Anyway happy holidays everyone.
