For the small number of you who have some level of cringe-based trauma connected to this username, I'm sorry. The roach has not yet died. For those of you who *don't remember me,* don't worry about it. And if you do remember me, feel free to let me know what you've been up to.
Now, I considered making a "Hi I'm Back" post over in Welcomes, but frankly, that's just one more thing I'm going to forget about, so I decided to jump straight to the place I felt most at home before, besides ye olde Realm of Vigorous Roleplay. But we don't need to talk about that, so, let me catch you up from the beginning.
Back in 2008/2009, when I dropped out of Animation college, when I first wandered away from Animeleague. I was going through a dark time, and no longer found happiness in drawing or artwork of any kind. It was the most demoralizing period in my journey, and set back my skills significantly as I proceeded to neglect any sort of practice or hobby art on the whole for the next decade or so. I started trying to get back on the horse in 2018, which is when I made my last fleeting appearances on these here forums. I've been through two or three jobs, extended periods of unemployment, depression and worse thoughts we don't need to talk about, and I've circled back around to where I began.
Where I have once found refuge. Where I can build what comes next.
Earlier this year, I started a webcomic. Not much, but it was a vehicle to see the improvement I'm making over the course of time. I've been doing a lot these past couple years over on my livestream, but I'm proudest of how the story I've written is progressing and how well the art has evolved to match it so far.
I'm really hopeful, going into 2026, that I can hold onto this energy and continue to progress. And if you don't mind, I'll be popping back here from time to time to let you know about it!
Right now, all I can say is that there is a *narrative reason* that everything for the comic is being drawn in 800x800, in Microsoft Paint. There's more of my work over on Bluesky, but I wanted to share my favorite panels here.
