good, good :happybounce: 
I haven't posted anything here in 2 years, haha! It has been a while~
I'm gonna get back into posting my fan art here, and doing ATC trading cards again. Just hobby art, stuff with no pressure to work on. 
It's amazing how long you've been working on your fancomic! I read that you're wrapping that up now to start working on something else.
Exciting to start new projects

Really? Have you been selling art in RL that kept you busy?
That'll be awesome! I haven't been on DA for a year and half. I had to move to Surrey to take care of my nephew. I also have my father die in 2015. So, it has been wild.

Yeah, a little too long. I really want to do my own stuff now. I really want to do other things beside Naruto.

Sorry to hear about your dad :( (Sad) That sucks
Woah, Surrey, thats pretty far away. How do you like it? Are you still there?

I also lost my mom in 2015, she died suddenly. Life sucks sometimes, I sure miss her.
That is when I disappeared from online and stopped drawing for a while, so I haven't been selling anything. 
I just played a lot of video games and read a lot of fanfiction and comics to keep my mind busy to stop feeling so sad.
but I am moving into a house with my friend Cindy, and I get the big bedroom, so I will have lots of room to draw and paint again I hope. 
I'm not going to focus on selling anything for a while... I just want to do personal art for a few years as my hobby

haha I didn't really get into Naruto at all, so I didn't follow your comic, but I seen pages of it as you posted it and it looked great. Wish I was a Naruto fan to understand it more. Sometimes its good to put to rest old inspirations, if you feel it is time to move on, you're probably right. You will feel a lot more freedom doing your own stuff. Your true fans/followers will understand.

Man, I am so sorry to hear that. Totally understand. I know that pain can't really go away, but I hope you  feel little better. And yes, keep on drawing! We both suffer that dreadful year without even knowing. Nothing wrong with drawing for yourself. Art is like a therapy.

I couldn't really grief for long, since I was shift off to Surrey in January. I haven't drawn much myself in 2016 either, beside the some fanart from my nephew's friends. I took care of my baby nephew. I tell you, being a mom-like-figure, can be super hard when you know nothing about a babies. I also got to know that side of my family. I also gain a new best-friend with my sister in law. *whisper* She's quite the badass. I learned a lot about Vancouver, Surrey, Langley. I got to see the Town set of Once Upon a Time in Richmond. A lot of movie sets there. I even found a comic book store called Toy Traders. It is heaven....so huge. I was so happy.

Don't get me wrong, I freakin cried a lot too. My sister-in-law always had to make me feel better. I learned a lot about myself there and I just learn. Tons of learning. My sister-in-law told me I can go there anytime. I can travel back and forth. I love my two nephews. I even pretend to be a ghost to go with his friends to get candy. XD They were all cool with that, they even called me Bob.

That's okay! I know not everyone is into Naruto. Don't worry about it, I actually want to do more comic strips of other fandoms too. I realized it when I was doing a small comic commission. I also want to do my own comic....that has sitting in my computer forever....=_= Aww, thank you. :hug: :heart: I will. You draw too.

Art therapy, yes, that's exactly what I should call it. That's what it feels like

awww I'm picturing you as a mother-figure, that's cool, i'm sure you got good at it with practise. That alone is a lot of work taking care of a child, doesn't leave you with a lot of free time since you need to watch over them so much. Its nice when its someone elses kid, and you get to give them back after, haha. The things we do for family, that's good you got that opportunity to become closer to your other relatives. Vancouver is a nice place to live, if I had to pick any city in Canada, I would say Vancouver is the nicest. It's very lush there, and like you say lots of cool stores and even comic, sci-fi, and furry conventions!  I've never been there, but i see lots of pics. I know a few friends who live there, one of them is a face-painter who goes to street festivals and stuff. She was from Creston originally.
That's good you can at least travel back and forth from there, so you can visit all the cool stores and do any shopping there. I do most of my shopping online cuz otherwise Creston doesn't have any cool stores, haha. 

Do you use Skype at all? Mine is vashley13, I use it for chatting, I don't talk often, but if you like you can add me

Yup! X.x I didn't think I had it in me, tell you the truth. It is....so much work. Like, forget time for yourself. All the attention is on the baby.
Indeed! Vancouver is awesome and all, but it is very expensive to live there, unfortunately. Awesome! I hope she making a good living there, there is tons of artist all hiding around there, which is great. So, I hope your friend will be in there as well.
Ah, there is some stuff that I can't find either. It either be sold out or they don't have it anymore. I usually end up buying on the internet as well when I can't find it. So, very true. =_= Creston doesn't have any cool shops.

No, I try using Skype with my friend's before and it always cuts/lags or freezes. I have discord though. Do you have Discord?
