Deviation Actions
1) finish Hero's Dilemma.
There is no reason it should take me a year to finish the last bit of a chapter I started a long time ago.
I need to finish it this year.
2) improve drawing skills.
I'm currently working on a simpler drawing method, and I'm trying to figure out if I should continue Outcast Kingdom, or start making a comics version of Hero's Dilemma (including some scenes and continued stories not in the written story)
3) get Outcast Kingdom on track.
Well that went quite exactly as I had expected. But I may be able to continue it (see No. 2)
4) 1 new short story every month.
This, too, went as expected.
5) get a job.
I did get a job, so there's one decisive success.
6) feel accomplished.
No, not really.
7) kickstart something
Not yet, but I've made progress.
8) (insert obligatory improve health resolution here)
Things are going pretty well in this field as well.
So the final score is 2/8. That sounds bad, but I don't think resolutions should be about numbers, but progress. In fact, I think I've gotten more out of some of the failed resolutions than some of the successes.
But I have hope for 2017. I think good things will happen this year.
and as always, Don't Forget To Be Awesome! \(^▽^)/

A Tentative Return
Last time I posted here was in November of 2020. Before that was February of the same year. So, yeah. I haven't been active lately. Depression's been rough. Mental energy and stress tolerance are low. The fact that my uploads haven't gotten a single comment since Sunset (almost four years ago!) has been discouraging, too. But I haven't been entirely idle. I've written a little bit, just haven't posted it online. Today I decided, "what the heck". I uploaded two short stories, one Argent related, one not. We'll see how things go. Hopefully, I'll be able to post more soon. (I have two more new stories that are almost done. If I can get around to finishing them, I'll post them here. If things go well.) Also, I've been dabbling in tabletop game design. I might bring that up too if things go well here. If anyone's reading this, I hope you're doing well. Making art is good for you. Keep creating, and help or encourage others when you can. DFTBA!
a new Argent City Story (for realsies this time!)
It's been almost a year since I mentioned the 'maybe-not-canonical' Argent City story. And I've been working on it, but not as much as I should have been. And aside from a short side-story, I haven't posted anything in the AC saga since.
So for 2019, I'm going to start posting it at last! It's been hard to find the motivation to write some times, but I already have a good chunk of it done(ish), so with that buffer I should be able to post at a semi-regular rate. Actually posting and having people aware of it should give me enough motivation to keep going.
Remember that your feedback matters to me. It gives me SUSTINANCE...!
I hope you all
The next Argent City Story (?!?)
So. I've started writing another Argent City story, but it's a little different this time around. This MIGHT be a non-canon story, 'cause it's kind of a rip-off of someone else's creation that I really like. So it may wind up being a fan-fic of my own literature... which sounds kinda lame now that I say it out loud, but I like this story I'm writing, so I'm gonna keep writing it.
I'll probably start posting it pretty soon, too-- canon or not.
What is it a rip-off of, you may be thinking? Well, I don't want to give too much away, so you'll have to wait and see (though it is something I have mentioned at some point here on my DA account).
2018, and what it brings
So I've got some plans for the new year (I'm sure we all do)
1) I'm working on a tabletop game. So I may not do as much writing as I'd like, but I will where I can. I may post some stuff here if there is interest.
2) When I do write, It'll probably be either on the next Argent City story (not yet sure what it would be about), or a new story-- maybe even a novel. But I don't have any specific plans yet.
3) Some real-life stuff that isn't interesting or exciting-- the details of which I'll spare you, but do need to be taken care of anyway.
Either way, I probably won't be posting too much here. Then again, I don't post much here anyway, so..

it was a pretty quiet year for my artsy friends I "had to resort to"commenting mostly on photos of pretty trees in 2016 due to how quiet the people I watch were in 2016 >> but I am happy for all of the successes you experienced.
I hope that you can share more OK and Hero's Dilemma though original stories like that improve my life.
