Happy new year to everyone!
Some of you may have noticed that I wasn't that active recently. Most of the time we were working on a stop motion short, which we managed to finish only with a little overdue. So far, this was the most complicated project we made, as everything had to be build from scratch. - the paper cut-out animation we made last year also required a little work on the characters and props, but was way simpler - It's actually quite fun if you don't mind lead poisoning or getting sick from glue fumes.
After many weeks of hard work, it was finally ready by December. It turned out to be a great success among our teachers and schoolmates, despite being our first movie with this technique, so we're really proud. ^^
Unfortunately, that wasn't the sole reason for my absence. Sadly, I have financial problems.- there's a little light at the end of this tunnel though, but it's too early to say anything for sure - That's why I wasn't around for five months last year, and now it seems I can't afford having a PC at home any more.
However, since this is my last year at school and many other projects will have to be done, I've decided to move my computer from home to the "workshop" provided by the headmaster for our class. There will be many pros as well as cons; I will have a fast, stable internet access and unlimited amount of coffee(!), but only on weekdays following an hour of commute time. Hey, free coffee and internet! What more could I ask for? C:
I couldn't make any interesting pieces during holidays, only a few reworks to get into the mood of drawing again but nothing new, although I experienced with a new colouring/shading style a bit, which I'm going to use in the future.
Thank you people for watching, commenting and showing support while I wasn't around!
I hope your holidays went well! ^^
MINI UPDATE:
I've removed my old Halo: FTS character deviations. Not only they had little to no artistic value, but also kept people reminded of the cancelled movie. I regularly got messages of people "asking" me to make the movie and got fed up with it a bit.

Stagnant waters
Hi everyone
Just a quick update here on dA.
Sorry for not replying to the comments, I have very little free time besides work, and the little I have usually goes to arting and crap like that.
I do read every comment I receive, but usually when I finally get free, they are weeks overdue ...
As a more important part of this update; I'm becoming more 'active' in FA, since my best friends and pretty much everyone I hang out with are FA users mostly. I'm not that active there either, but I check FA way more often that dA these days, even though FA has very clunky mechanisms.
So, if you are interested in more frequent updates, please follow me

Hai everyone. C:
So, after a bit of a hiatus, I finally managed to pull myself together, albeit I would've never made it back without the support of !Nimtai (https://www.deviantart.com/nimtai) :3
Normally I'm not a fan of dumping RL stuff on dA but after such a sudden and long absence, I think you deserve some explanation.
Autumn's been a bit of a difficult one, things here were like a roller-coaster, high ups for weeks yet ever lower downs lasting for months. These rapid changes in mood made tending to this site very difficult, with visits getting rarer until I went on a break - which I honestly thought of being about a month long at max -
My job was also a high sourc
Inactivity
Hello everyone
I'll be inactive for a while due to personal issues. Will try to do the art I'm in debt with, but will not post them here until I return.
Take care
Involuntary Procrastination und Future Plans
You may have noticed I haven't been active very much lately - i.e. at all.
Things have been über busy here: I've just finished illustrating a schoolbook - and there will be seven other ones (from grade one to eight) - and there's also a pilot episode for a cartoon series that is quite behind schedule. I usually work 10-12 hours a day, often on weekends as well, so by the time I get home, I'm dead tired and has energy to watch a cat video or two. Thus, I haven't been able to work on any dA stuff, - expect the latest commission - and I have trades, another - traditional - commission, and a prize art to tackle, of course, every single one

It's nice to have you back! Although, as among the few people who completely are under situations you are in, real life is always first priority.
And like you, I had to remove my own Halo comics because they had no potential or value anymore (not to mention the Halo franchise became mutated). I got more air to breath and feel refreshed. Of course, school and work kept my clock ticking and my time consumed. So let the demand hold you down.
Yeah, do what you gotta go man. It's been a lovely, busy 2013-2014 for me!
