Hi, everyone! Long time no update. Hope everyone is doing alright How long has it been since I updated my page, a month? Good grief
So a good bit of stuff happened in the past several weeks. I had gone to Tampa for a short vacation last week; I needed to leave my hometown for a while. And I brought my laptop with me, but the wifi service at the hotel was iffy. They said it was free, but you had to go through some weird stuff with the sign-up and connection. So I did without it while I was gone. I did take my sketchbook, but barely did anything with it because...I kind of got sick again. Nothing huge, major, or life-endangering or threatening, just a minor headache and exhaustion. I still enjoyed my time off
So finally, chapter three of Astral Cross has started, and I am sorry that it took so blasted long. I was working on other stuff...other time consuming stuff, and I fell out of working on the first real page for a while. It sort of put me in an art block, despite that I wanted to keep working on it. You know that feeling you get when you work on something and you feel that something about it isn't right, but you don't want to start all the way over, so you put it off for later? That's what happened to me
Plus, I admit I procrastinated a bit. I look for inspiration to get my art mojo back, and I lose focus within seconds. I kept looking at news for released and upcoming games. Speaking of which, Hyrule Warriors came out a few weeks ago I haven't played it yet, so I'm trying to avoid spoilers.
Back to AC, I know I've been silent about the comic since chapter two was finished. As in no pages or anything. So I'm going to try and update more often. With Thanksgiving and Christmas coming up, I'll lose free time and be even busier with life as we know it, but I will do my best. I actually had a goal in mind to finish chapter three before the year was over, but now that I think about it...that may be impossible So bear with me with these updates, please.
Oh yeah, before I go, I was tagged by
1. You must post these rules.
2. Answer the ten questions the person who tagged you made, and then make up your own 10 questions for the people you tag to answer.
3. Choose ten people and put their icons or hyperlinks on this journal.
4. Please don't write something stupid like 'you are tagged if you read this.'
5. You have to legitimately tag 10 people.
6. No tag-backs.
1. Who is your favorite Disney villain and why?
I'd have to say Hades from Hercules, because he was funny and despicable at the same time.
2. What's your favorite song from your favorite band?
I don't really have a favorite band, but here are some personal picks of mine:
Kill the Lights and Weekend from The Birthday Massacre
Ready, Aim, Fire from Imagine Dragons
Prayer from Disturbed
Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger from Daft Punk
September from Earth, Wind, and Fire
3. If you got a crossover shipping, what is it?
I do like crossover pairings, but none really come to mind. Though I do remember seeing Link (Legend of Zelda) X Yuna (Final Fantasy X); that was interesting...
4. Did you know there's a place called Brony in Poland?
Yep
5. Does it ever take you long to come up with questions at the end of tagging journals like these?
Yes.
6. Anyone else a fan of Shantae?
I don't even know who that is.
7. Ever acted?
Yes. I even wanted to be an actress one time.
8. If so, what was the part you remember playing at the top of your head?
I was one of the orphans in Oliver Twist. That was years ago.
9. Got a favorite love song?
Can You Feel the Love Tonight? by Elton John
Garden of Everything by Steve Conte and Mayaa Sakamoto
Ricordando ill Passato by Akiko Shikata.
....And I'm not even a romantic!
10. Anybody want more stories with villain protagonists?
Why not? It'd be cool to see a story from a different point of view.
I'm not tagging anyone, but I will post ten questions you guys are free to answer in the comments. I can do that
1. Have you started your Christmas shopping yet?
2. If you're a gamer, is there a certain game company you are unwaveringly loyal to? If so, who?
3. What's your least favorite food?
4. Does the Drowning music from the first three Sonic the Hedgehog games still scare you to this day?
5. Are you an early riser?
6. Do you prefer originality or enjoyability?
7. What food could you go for right now?
8. Are you dressing up for Halloween this year?
9. Which would you rather have; absolutely no fear or everlasting peace?
10. Don't do drugs, kids (don't ask. I'm tired...)
Well, I will talk to you guys again. Stay gold, everybody

Inexcusable
For almost two years, I've barely uploaded any art on this page. Two years ago, I had made plans to upload the next chapter of my fan comic in its entirety as a surprise and a thank you to all my readers. I've barely made any journal entries, telling you guys how I've been, what I've been doing, how my life is going, generally just keeping you updated.
And that's inexcusable.
I can tell you what I have been doing. I've been working on my original comic, and pretty much "making myself" continue on Astral Cross, so I could at least get that chapter finished. I've been playing Breath of the Wild and I've yet to face Calamity Ganon properly; I
I need another day...
*staggers into the house after getting off work* Good God...!! I will never...EVER...go back to work the day after coming home from a 12-hour drive again!
So yeah...I was away for the past few days with the family, and I just got home this morning. And I just got back from work, exhausted! I had hoped the hotel we stayed in had internet access, which they did, but the connection was insecure, meaning it was easier for some dirtbag with no life to hack me. We were watching the Weather Channel our whole stay...
I really wanted to check up here to see if you guys affected by the hurricanes were okay (you know who you are), but I'm not risking
What was I doing away from the screen?
How long has it been since I wrote one of these...? Way too long, bruh!! Hopefully, everyone's doing okay. Your first days at school are going alright.
Thoughts and prayers are with everyone affected by Hurricane Harvey.
Okay, so...I'm still drawing, but not posting as much, obviously. Reason for that is because I'm working on another project. It's the original version of my fanfic, Astral Cross. Yep. No Zelda or Final Fantasy in this one. Gotta avoid copyright.
I've been writing down arcs, subplots, trying my hardest to write down an outline for the whole story (I have an idea of the entire plot, I'm just having trouble making sense of it
Tagged!

Procrastination is a common enemy, it seems...then again, with so much on the horizon, it's hard to stay on track for one thing.
