So I'm getting back into the art scene again, but things are going to be a lot more different. I'm planning on leaving Deviant Art and I'll primarily be using my website, Tumblr, Twitter, and Pixiv for posting artwork for now on (if you browse for stuff on sites like Gelbooru, you might see a few of my works on there as well). So, if you want to keep up with and new stuff that I do, go ahead and follow me on all of those. No more new artwork will be posted on my Deviant Art and, once I can get things sorted out on here, I'll be deactivating my account. The two thing I'll need to do before I close my account are as follows:

1. Make back-ups of all of the stuff I've posted on here onto my computer or onto my Google Drive.
2. Seek out someone to pick up the reins of Founder in all of the groups I'm in, mainly the Kisekae 2 fan group.

As for the reason why I'm leaving, it's mainly because I don't use Deviant Art anymore...for both finding art to color and for displaying what I color. I'm a lot more active on other sites and those are a lot less "dick-ish" than what Deviant Art is. Also, this gives me an excuse to get my website tuned up, make it look nice, and try to push in more traffic onto it. I don't think I'll make it too fancy, just good enough to showcase all of the art I've done in the past, as well as citing sources of said art.

 I'll probably wait until the start of April before I decide to close down my account on here, just so I can get everyone a chance to follow me on other platforms.

Since I've been pretty inactive in the art scene and my new job's starting to take over, I've decided to go on a hiatus for the moment. I'm not sure when I'll be getting back into doing artwork, but all I know is that I'll need to see about investing into a new graphic tablet since I sold the Lenovo one I had. I've been looking into getting either the XP-Pen tablet monitors, Artisul tablets, or just go for a Microsoft Surface Pro 3.

Just wanted to say this to everyone if you're wondering why I've been "dead" in the last few months.

Wanna ask her some questions? The blog is now up and running with a new updated Mihaki avatar and model.

It sure has been a while since I posted anything new on here. For the most part, I haven't really had any motivation to do any artwork since I moved away from Arizona. I'll I really do is play video games I've already beaten and browse on Tumblr and Twitter for endless hours, but as of tonight, I've made a decision: to revive Ask OCs.

Basically, many years ago I made some Tumblr blogs of my various OCs and had people ask them questions and I'll answer them using Kisekae 2 models in comic book style panels. As a means to drive myself to be more creative and to do something, in a mater of speaking, more productive since I've lost my overnight job (not a huge loss. I hated it anyways). On top of reviving the Ask OCs blogs, I'll also be getting back into coloring again. I've been sitting on my ass for too long, not being able to find a job and I feel less productive every passing day; watching both of my parents work their asses off while I sit around playing video games and looking at pictures and artwork of busty anime girls (which is great in itself).

You could say this is me giving myself a kick in the rear to do something better with my life and stop being just a lazy bones, just like Sans (never would of thought I do an Undertale reference).

So as I was experimenting with various OSs on my external hard drive, the data on my tablet's flash storage (which was holding all of my artwork) got formatted and erased. All of my previous works are mostly gone and any new stuff that I never got around to upload are gone, too. I've been trying my hardest to do data recovery, but I've only been able to recover about 1/4 of what I actually had.

For now on, I'll be saving all of my artwork on my Google Drive so I always have a readily-accessible storage for all artwork that I complete. And I'm also going to make sure never to use RemixOS ever again, as it was the cause of my tablet's flash storage getting formatted. It didn't even bother telling me what drive it was using for data formatting. It just did it without me knowing.
