I've been gone forever.

Thanks everyone for the birthday wishes and other notes.  The fact is I'm just not on DA very much.  I'm on Instagram now primarily...but it just so happens that DA is a decent place for posting comics that are available and shareable and in order and I happen to have started another fan comic.

This time it's for Persona 5!  THAR BE SPOILERS AHEAD.  You've been warned.  If you're a fan and you've finished the game, have a read:

This comic will span at least three chapters, but each one is designed to be a half-decent ending spot so you won't get left on a cliffhanger wondering what happens next.

If you want to get updated when full chapters are posted, hit up one of my other pages.

XCOM, thanks!

Things have been busy lately...haven't even had time to update Falser Faker...but ten days after the fact, I just noticed I got featured on the official XCOM Facebook/Twitter pages! ;-; I am so thankful!  Looking forward to an amazing sequel to an amazing game.  (No pressure, Firaxis. <3)

XCOM is one of those games that drew me in despite the fact that I've never been much of a high-sci-fi fan in the past.  Really, it's about guns and being a freakin sorcerer.  Let's be honest here.  That stuff isn't sufficiently advanced technology.  Dat's magic.

There are very few things I love enough to do fan art about, and I never do fan art for something that I feel is already so complete that art would not add to it.  That is, I feel no need to do artwork for, say, the Psychonauts universe, because that game and that art style in itself stands alone and does not require fan content.  I feel no need to do artwork for the Heroes of Might and Magic series, because while I love the game, you really don't play it for the plot or even for the aesthetics...you play it for turn based strategy and tide-turning strategical magicks.

XCOM is different.  XCOM is both complete in its own right, as a game, and also has limitless potential for inserting your own stories into the canon they've presented.  In fact, in my opinion, the game is better when you name your soldiers and give them the stories that Firaxis didn't.  That's the part of the game that draws me in.  Firaxis didn't make you care about the characters.  It handed you a handful of baby recruits and told you to name them, care for them, and teach them to be strong.  And that is the beauty of it.  Firaxis didn't punch you in the feels.  You punched yourself.

Oh, and so did I.  Ha~ Love you guys.

Life's been kicking my ass lately, so I apologize if I haven't replied to things yet.  Will soon!  I have oodles of deviations I want to post, just haven't gotten around to it.

...Falser Faker updated!  I just rewrote the entire rest of the story... ;w; Especially with story, I'm never satisfied.  Such perfectionist. Much nitpick. Very revise. Wow. For that reason, I think my next story project will be shorter... ^^;

The other thing I get nitpicky about is when I accidentally smudge the ink on my drawings... @.@  Happens more often than I'd like, because I have oddly sweaty hands, and wet ink is smudgy ink.  Doesn't have to be hot.  Just happens all the time....

Another thing I nitpick is white pixels in my digital color!  But with copics, a little bleed outside the lines doesn't bother me too much.  It's hard to get the ink to spread exactly right!

What's the thing that you nitpick in your work?
