Wow... it's been over a year since I last really went onto my deviantART, it's surreal considering how it used to be my main social media site. It's been a while, it sure has. I left without warning and without really thinking about it... I sort of got caught in the moment of other projects. 

I started a Vulpix ask blog on tumblr that gained an absurd amount of traction, and has been a really good experience for me now that my art has been getting actual attention. The weird thing about it is that everyone thinks I'm a girl on it, yikes. But it has been very enlightening and a massive spark on motivation as well as inspiration. Not many of you guys will read this since it's been so long since I updated, and that's strangely comforting to me after so much time.

Not to get heavy, but there have been certainly been some interesting experiences.
The past year was rough, I was traveling everywhere as an insurance adjuster after natural disasters hit certain states. I almost died when I very nearly rolled off the roof of a four-story building, but that was more silly of me in retrospect. I moved across the states to renovate a house to be with someone who promised we would have a future. And I experienced the death of that now visibly one-sided relationship in a very horrible way after I left my past life behind to fully commit to it. I was alone and in a very bad place and I did a lot of stupid and self-destructive things that are physically affecting me even now.

But the brightside is that the experience has inspired me to tell a story about it, about healing... and coming to terms with people not being who you thought they were. It's gonna be a low-quality, rushed comic of sorts but... it's mine. And I deserve to tell my story. It doesn't have to be pretty or incredibly written, it just has to be my own.

Anyways, if anyone is reading, how have you been for the past year? Was it a year that was filled with victories?


EDIT:
I think there's too much emotional baggage with the person I broke up with to come back, so I think I'm gonna officially abandon this account for now. As well as the comic projects that come with it.
I may or may not come back, but I can't see myself doing things here for a good long while.
If you want to see my twitter/tumblr account where I actually do stuff, shoot me a note!

I'm almost finished with art catch-up, so I'm gonna draw one/two of my current favorite video game characters.
Would you guys like to see: 
-Big Boss (Metal Gear Solid)
-Revolver Ocelot (Metal Gear Solid)
-Geralt of Rivia (The Witcher)
or
-Sebastian Castellanos (The Evil Within)

Thanks for looking at my random late-night poll :heart:

After a myriad of internet troubles, I'm back!! c:
I'm gonna be talking to lots of friends tomorrow when I have energy but I wanted to go ahead and ask; What are you all's resolutions for 2018? :D
I suppose mine is to finish up the outline for my nuzlocke-- but while I've been doing that, I actually started an ask blog for one of the characters, as practice for the comic format >w> I'm a little bit too shy to show it, though, as it's also a medium through which to test anatomy I'm not comfortable with, so maybe once I get better I'll show it off here, like my last PMD blog :heart:
But yes, what are your new year's resolutions? ;>

Hey guys! If you've noticed a very large break in the requests-- It's because I've been on the production team for Nuzrooke Sun... and guess what... The prologue is out :heart:
If you've ever read the original Nuzrooke Silver, or enjoy nuzlockes, or even just webcomics in general, I would highly recommend you check it out!! :D

NuzRooke Sun - Prologue by DragonwolfRooke

I didn't work on this page personally, but I've done the lining for the first chapter, and will be doing shading on a lot of them as well<33 So please, I ask that you look at the fruit of our labor, we really want this project to exceed even Nuzrooke Silver, and we've put lots of love in it :heart:

I'm running low on ideas to keep my queue of finishing two drawings a week so I can stay ahead of the curve and not go inactive for months at a time, so!! I'm opening up requests!! :D
However, for the request I'd need a promo after it's drawn, both so I can get more watchers and more requests cx So if that interests you comment with your request below!!
Same rules as commissions<33 (I.E. No NSFW)

Edit: More requests please!! I'm fresh out!!

EDIT: Requests are closed for now because I'm very full and starting college!! However, in a month or two when everything's finished, they'll be open again!! Everyone who previously commented will have their request fulfilled, of course!!

EDIT: Requests are open again, and I'd really like to try some complex stuff!! Battle scenes, extensive backgrounds, the whole shebang!! Please comment below<33

Edit: Thanks for all the requests guys! It really helped get my drawing mojo back, and I learned a lot the whole way!! Sadly since I'm working full-time with college and developing comic projects (Nuzrooke Sun and my own nuzlocke!! Also coloring and shading a few others), I'm going to close these down! I'll finish those who have requested and aren't fetish/nsfw related (read the rules u dorks), but it might take a long while! Just consider them free requests from this point on, no promo needed!
