Oh, do you remember the last time you saw one of those Fawriels? Those were the days, those were the days.

In all seriousness: Hi.

Things have been changing, and yet not. I'm in a state of troubled calmness and life is spinning monodimensionally. So much for that.

Well, as you may have noticed, not much came out of my last attempt to revive this here place. I dunno why, really. I don't really draw many "works" for some reason. Much like it has been for the past years, I mostly draw concept sketches and such. But there's a ripple on the surface here. I'm slowly moving into directions. I initiated an artistic duel with an overpowering foe, a battle that takes place in comic form. The comics I have drawn for that duel, and the previous Art Battles that inspired it, were the only true comics I have ever drawn... But that will change. The webcomic is conceptually nearing the phase where I mostly have to worry about how to set things up, not so much what I want to do in the first place. I'm both despairing and coming to terms with my life, and it's an unsurprisingly awkward feeling. I feel worthless, and the feeling of worthlessness is depowering, but at the same time, I realize that it really just takes a will to just DO IT to get out of that hole. I've taken up jogging because running is good against depression. Depression is also a prime reason not to leave the house, but I'm not having any of that. Damn my weakness to hell, I'm gonna get this show on the frikking road.

Now!
I'm sorry for not commenting on any pictures since then (except for a few of Anna's, I guess?), and I can't really guarantee that I'll start doing it now. My internet habits are weird and I still don't understand them myself. What I can tell you is that I've been downloading thousands upon thousands of pictures that strike my interest for some reason, so I can collect them in a giant heap of references. That also means I'm less afraid to check out works superior to mine. Instead, I strive to find out how I can break free from my old form to bring vitality into my art.

... I'm really sorry for neglecting you guys who haven't forgotten about me yet. I can't really explain it, and I sure as hell can't justify it, but, it's just the way the cookie crumbled. Stupid cookie.

So... What will I be doing with my gallery?
Assuming that I WILL keep it updated, here's an overview over the things I might have in store:

1) Pokemon stuff. I've recently become obsessed with the critters again. In fact, this stuff will be further divided into two categories:
a) Fake Pokemon. I've been playing with the idea of creating a rom hack of a D/P game to insert some Pokemon of my own design, along with new characters, a new world, and a new plot with much more depth.
b) Trainer's Log. I still don't actually own any Generation IV game, but I want to import Platinum once it comes out in the US. Since Super Smash Bros. Brawl has failed me, I'll turn this into the one game I wanna focus on and become good at, and to really get myself into it, as well as to get some light drawing and comedy practice, I'll document some events in the game from the view of the player character, a ditzy version of myself, in the form of free-form comics. It might be nifty!

2) Stuff about my webcomic. Concept art, perhaps, though it's constantly being revised. Then again, why not start uploading designs before they're finalized? Maybe I could get some nice feedback.

3) Aaand whatever else I come up with. Yay!

... Well. That's it. I'll upload a cute little thingy I made to start things off.

Thanks for reading, and... Hopefully we'll see each other more often.
