I know this probably isn't what you want to see from me after my long absence, but someone from my friend's server needs a bit of help paying for her medical bills.

I spent the majority of my money moving to a different country, and am still trying to build up my funds again, but if you're able, could you please donate?

She is a very nice girl, and doesn't deserve to be in this situation.

Donate here: https://gofund.me/3d840519

If you're unable to spare any money, then could you please spread the word?

I promise, I'll come back on better terms. I'm just trying to help a friend in need while also getting my own feet back under me.

People are confused about my previous journal entree, so I'm going into more detail without revealing too much.

I'm moving so that I give some people a chance to get their life back together, and also myself. Not saying names, but some people have been using me to do their responsibilities instead of doing them themselves. I helped them at first because they needed time to recover, but the fact is that they aren't recovering because they're used to me doing everything for them. Me moving away will hopefully get them to realize that they need to step up and take responsibility. Please don't say anything bad about the people. They are good people, but they're making bad choices right now. Hopefully this action helps them heal.

This also gives me a chance to step into fresh air. Find myself and grown, you know? My life was stagnated at home, and this is me taking steps forward. The only reason I'm not saying where I'm going or what new job I have is because (believe it or not) some fans tried to track me down. Although they didn't have bad intentions, this is something I don't approve of.

Me moving away gives me a chance to be in a place where no one knows me, so I can just be myself and not worry about anything.

Some people were asking why I stopped doing Shadow's Tale and Machine Valet.

I stopped doing Shadow's Tale because the owner wanted to try doing the comic themself. I am not the owner or writer of the comic, I just drew what I was told to draw. Anyway, they wanted to try and do it by themself, and I support them 100%.

As for Machine Valet, I love my characters and my story, but I wasn't happy with how it was being executed. I had a vision, but couldn't quite reach it. Luckily for me, I found someone who could, and they were interested in doing so. Not going to say their name because I respect privacy, but we have an agreement. They own the story and characters, but my name will still be put on the cover as the creator, and I still have a say in what goes on. So if something is produced that I don't like, I'm allowed to tell them to remove it (so far, everything is up to par. No criticism yet).

Anyway, I'm fine. Everything is good so far. Don't worry.

What's happening is nothing to be scared for. It's a good thing :)

1. I'm moving. Not to a different site, but to a different country. Not going into detail, but everything is fine. It's scary, but I think I can do it. Luckily I have a friend helping me. And before you ask, no. I'm not telling you where I'm going. That will defeat the purpose of me moving.

2. I gave away the rights to Machine Valet. I'll still post the pages because I wrote the story and got permission from the new owner, but the style will be different. Don't worry, the story is the same, so it'll be great.

That is all.

Ignore the previous journal, please. I don't want drama.

EDIT: Nevermind, I deleted it. Everything is all good.

EDIT 2: Can anyone see this journal? It's either lagging, or not posting :/

Anyway, as the title says.

I'm no longer working with @oniiix on "Shadow's Tale".

Nothing bad happened, don't worry! I'll still be posting fan-art and stuff, but Oni is the creator, and she wanted creative independence. So I surrendered Cape (who I originally created), my position as artist, and I am excited to see what she comes up with! :3

There are a few changes though that I find interesting, and have gotten permission to reveal.

1 - Shadow's character bio and design has been changed. Don't worry, his personality is still the same, but in my opinion, he looks cooler now. I'll post some fan-art soon.

2 - The comic is now intended for young adults instead of children. Oni has assured me that there isn't sex or nudity nor are there swears, so if you're like me and don't like those things, you're safe she says it will be similar to Marvel

3 - The city will be fictional now, and some characters have been cancelled/changed.

Still the same base storyline, but I can't wait to see the new stuff :3

I'm still figuring out this new art program before I consider making more comic pages ^^;

I want to give you guys the best quality, so expect some random art in the future.

That's me testing out the new art program.
