Out with the old & in with the new, as it's been said... Because the Past, is History. Tomorrow is a Mystery. But Today if a Gift. That is why we call it the Present.

As we say goodbye to 2024 & ring in the New Year, let us all move forward & try to be better. Be better than who we were. Move forwards! Try new things! Meet new people!

And I'm not saying this just because it's the New Year. This is something you should all take to heart going forward. Make it your creed if you have to in order to move forward. Your ticket to the future is always open, it's in your own hands. All you have to do is grasp hold of it~

I hope each & every one of you has a splendid New Year. I look forward to see what the New Year may bring, and may it be better than last year~

Hey everybody, hope all is going well in your neck of the woods, as for me, it's mostly the same as usual, save for the fact that Dragoneer died this morning, and FurAffinity's site is now at risk of disappearing completely.. I read the notice this morning about what Fender said, how the site's already been pretty rocky, and with Dragoneer gone, it was a good idea to start backing up content and migrating elsewhere, just in case. And THEN, I'm not sure when, he edited his journal and removed what he said, likely to mitigate any damage caused by the statement.. Well, damage done I think.. I have no plans on leaving the site until the bitter end, but at the same time, I am going to start backing up my content and re-posting stuff over here on my NewGrounds account, just in case. So if you wanna become a fan of mine, please feel free~! I've noticed this year has been an annoying trend with stuff I love and enjoy just.. disappearing, and I've quickly grown tired of it..

𝘼𝙧𝙩𝙬𝙤𝙧𝙠 - I've been pretty busy as of late artwork wise, what with commissions and some gift art I recently did. I am happy to say Abby and I have patched things up and are back to being friends~ I even went and drew some artwork for her, which she now has plans to use as a redeem during her streams~! That aside, I've been working on some other pieces featuring some of my other O.C's, as well as some other gift art I'd like to do. So you'll see it all in due time I suppose.

𝙂𝙖𝙢𝙞𝙣𝙜 - It's been somewhat busy in this area. I sadly had to say goodbye to the mobile game, Megaman X-Dive online. I had only played it for like, less than a year, but for the time I did play it, it was amazing. So much so that I ended up spending some money and buying the Offline version on Steam. That aside, I've been playing a lot of Dragon Ball Z: Dokkan Battle & Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2, but that's nothing new lol. I'm hopefully getting a new (well I say new, but it's actually used..) V.R headset next month, but we'll see. I'm STILL waiting to get my new computer, but that likely won't happen until the end of the year, but it's whatever. I've also been playing a LOT of Pokémon: Scarlet and Warframe recently as well, so if anybody ever wants to join me, feel free~!

𝘾𝙤𝙡𝙡𝙚𝙘𝙩𝙞𝙗𝙡𝙚𝙨 - I've gotten some new Yu-Gi-Oh cards, a couple Beyblades, and some Transformers. But besides that, nothing new to really note~

Hello fellow furs and non-furs alike, I hope all is well within your neck of the woods and such. Things for me have been.. Iffy? I've been feeling physically and emotionally drained as of late alongside feeling neglected and just.. ignored? I guess? I've been trying to stay motivated by keeping myself busy with stuff, and I even created a basic event schedule for my server so members have some form of structure to follow along with. But, depression can be a bit of a BITCH to contend with sometimes, and more often than not in my case. I would address these feelings, but my inferiority complex stops me from doing rational things, and both the important people in my life already have their plates full, so I can't exactly be mad or upset with either of them for not wanting to do anything with me or just assuming everything's fine, when it's NOT fine. My mother-in-law was in the hospital again for a few days which put a lot of stress, anxiety and fear on all of us, nobody knows how to clean up after themselves in my household by default and only do it when asked or told, and on top of feeling neglected, I caught a stupid cold.. I just.. I don't want to be babied or coddled, but it would be nice to have at least some sort of intimacy or attention on just me for a little while.. I don't try to ask for much... I think.. I just need to shut down for a while until I feel more like how I used to be.

𝘼𝙧𝙩𝙬𝙤𝙧𝙠 - Artwork's been going alright. I still have an art trade pending with my friend Comus who wants to draw me something as far as I know. I have a commission pending for a friend of mine on Discord which I'll be starting on Monday, and more recently I finally started penning my very own custom Gunpla of sorts consisting of the Unicorn Gundam, Shining Gundam & the Wing Gundam Zero Ver.Ka. I still need to draw out the other details, but I'll be making it into a reference sheet on my own time. This is a passion project I've wanted to do for some time now, and even though I'm not great at mecha, I'm going to give it my best shot~

𝙂𝙖𝙢𝙞𝙣𝙜 - Not a whole lot has happened in this area. I've stopped playing Xenoverse 2 for a while, Sparking Zero continues to release updates and looking better everyday before it's release, Dokkan Battle's 9th anniversary is 6 days away as of this journal entry, and people won't stop crying over Elden Ring's recent DLC, complaining that it's either too hard or too easy. Meanwhile, I think I'm going to finally focus on beating Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom 100% because nothing else appeals to me right now besides like, maybe Monster Hunter: Rise - Sunbreak..

𝘾𝙤𝙡𝙡𝙚𝙘𝙩𝙞𝙗𝙡𝙚𝙨 - Nothing's really changed here. I got some new Transformers figures & accessories, a couple new Yu-Gi-Oh! cards for my binder, and I've been slowly collecting Beyblades again. I actually have a Beyblade coming to me through the mail, and in a few days I plan on buying another one I want from a 3rd party store that specializes in pre-owned and brand new stuff. I might take some photos of my Beyblade collection and post them in my gallery, but we'll see. I also got a new POP! figurine of Yoruichi from Bleach, and a super-posable, Super-Saiyan Rose Goku Black figurine. He's really nice overall and comes with his scythe of sorrow, ka-me-ha-me-ha charge effect, and aura piece backdrop. My only gripe with him is the fact that his face is permanently in a "AAAHHHHH!!" screaming position. Otherwise he's great~!

☙‧︎⊰─✥︎✪ JOURNAL UPDATE ✪✥︎─⊱‧︎❧

Artwork - It's been slow for me the last couple of weeks, because I've been sick. Not with Covid or anything mind you, just the usual seasonal bull crap I deal with. Migraines, minor headaches, slight joint pains and fevers. I've bounced back from it already, I'm just getting my bearings is all. I have some gift art lined up that I need to get finished before I do anything else, but afterwards I "should" be open for commissions or art trades in case anybody's interested ^w^

Gaming - I've been all over the place in this area. I finally started my file on Poke'mon Scarlet after owning it for over a year and not touching it, there's been a TON of development for Dragon Ball Z: Sparking Zero, annnnnnnd I had a copy of PalWorld purchased for me which I have yet to play lol.. Thanks to the Cross-Save and Cross-Play features, I've finally gotten back to playing WarFrame, which has been really nice, but there are other games I need to get back to playing as well, but all in due time I suppose.

Collectibles - Okay, so! Not a big secret if you know me well enough, but I'm a big freaking nerd. I collect all sorts of memorabilia, be it replica weapons from cartoons and anime, to all kinds of different toys I enjoy fiddling around with and eventually reviewing on YT! That being said, I've been trying to save up money to purchase a Titan-Class Transformers figure, and then HasLab went and dropped like.. the BIGGEST bomb on me I never imagined possible. That being a re-made, re-done Transformers: RiD (2001) version of Omega Prime, complete with all the bells and whistles one could possibly imagine~ And thanks to a dear friend of mine, I was able to be one of the 10,000 backers for this HasLab exclusive. The campaign doesn't end until the 14th of March (my birthday, heh..), so I'm still going to be cautiously optimistic, but my excitement is through the roof! I also recently re-arranged my bedroom and such, and my brother purchased the last of the Insecticons I was missing from the Legacy line, that being Bombshell~!

Miscellaneous - Life has been up and down as of late, I suppose. I'm patiently waiting for us to be able to purchase the house we're living in so my name can go on the property deed, it's a similar situation with my name needing to go on a vehicle, and I have yet to order a brand-new birth certificate. All of this of course, is for the sake of my case with my Immigration Lawyer in order to get my Citizenship so I can start working again. And this has become even more stressful and important to me, because my wife now wishes to try and have some kids, despite her health not being 100%. We need to talk to her OBGYN and see what they think first of course, but yeah.. It's.. a scary time for me.. Other than that though, life has been pretty good. I sometimes lament the way I spoke or acted in the past, and wish I could do right by my old friends who no longer talk to me today, but the past is the past I suppose. No use in trying to live in those moments, it's better to push onward.

Welp! That's it! Aside form it being cold and miserable off and on, I think I've covered everything lol. If you got this far and actually read everything, thanks a lot!

☙‧︎⊰─✥︎✪ Quick Notes ✪✥︎─⊱‧︎❧

☑ Still saving for the Nemesis, and I MIGHT possibly get the new Omega Prime figure~

☑ Completed my Legacy Insecticon trio, it's my first time having all 3 G1 incarnations of the characters!

☑ STILL gathering together the crap I need for my citizenship, because I've not waited long enough apparently..

☑ Re-arranged my bedroom and stuff, might post pictures!

☑ Been sick for like, 2 weeks off and on, but I'm feeling well enough to do artwork again.

☑ My wife wants to have a baby and I'm still grappling with the concept and over-thinking things.

It's been a solid minute since I've done any updates over here, but at least it hasn't been YEARS later this time. Been working on lots of art while gaming with friends. Made an account of Pixiv for w/e reason, & I've decided I'm gonna start posting my works on here more often so my gallery is on par with my stuff on FurAffinity. I know it won't be everybody's cup of tea, but I honestly don't care. I'm just here doing my own thing~

Has it really been THIS long since I've done.. Anything on this site? Well, while I've been gone I've become a much better, albeit depraved furry artist.. So I guess I can start posting my crap on here with a little pride & update my shit show of a profile on here \0/
