Recent disappearance + New Book
(gosh it's been a while since I wrote one of those!)
Hey everyone, thanks for still being around even though I haven't been updating my deviantart in the past few months. [yes, I'm GUILTY AS CHARGED] ~cryforeverplz (https://www.deviantart.com/cryforeverplz)
The reason why I wasn't feeling like updating my deviantart is mostly because I don't have anything shiny or finished or polished enough recently.
I moved to my own apartment last November and I'm now officially living off of my own art! That's so freaking cool!... but I've been so caught up on freelance work that I can only feed my social media with sketches and studies, nothing that I judge "worth" of a submission here.
'Twas the night before Christmas, when all through D.A.
All the creatures were stirring. They were on holiday!
A cold winter's night, with some days off for break's
The perfect time for artists to cure those art-aches.
The artists were nestled with the tools of their station,
With scrolling hands ready to find inspiration.
There was one young artist logging on with a smile
To sit back and think of what they hadn't in a while.
'Twas 10 years to the day since they'd made this account.
If they'd only known then what surprises would mount.
The features, the layouts, the widgets, the glee,
the DeviantMeets, the app, and the community.

Celebrate 16 Years of DeviantArt
DeviantArt launched 16 years ago, providing a community of artists and art appreciators with a place to call home. Now, on August 7th, as we celebrate our Sweet Sixteen, we’re bringing a birthday celebration to our deviants around the world! From the comfort of your computer, help us celebrate the reason we’re all here today — our vibrant and inspirational community!
Standing at the cusp of Internet-adulthood, it’s always enjoyable to look back and embrace the carefree days of our artistic youth. This year, while adult coloring books are
Paradigm Shift
On 2014 I've imposed myself a challenge: "I should draw a doodle a day, during the whole year".The reason why I took such a challenge was because I wasn't happy with how much I created on the year before, on 2013.
Before starting the challenge I would procrastinate instead of drawing, I would wait for some magic sort of inspiration to come in order to draw anything at all.
That was the paradigm, the standards of my work flow.
After concluding the 365 Days of Doodles project I had a new paradigm: I can create one black&white drawing everyday.
What I want to do now in 2015 is changing the paradigm again: I want to add co
I'll pull my heartstings on a harp
And now I will play you my songs
You will understand my pain
But you wont feel the same
I'll pull the strings of my heart
Tug and rip until they are gone
You will see the blood as it flows
But you wont feel the same
You understand my friends
This pain is my own
You will never understand what I feel
And neither will I understand yours
But as I play on my heart
As I rip out my heartstrings
You will understand that I'm not okay
Isn't that all you need to know?
Hey guys, it's been a long while. Sorry! I'm not dead!
But uh, I'm not sure if the comic is. I don't know if anyone cares about it at this point, or would be upset if I cancelled it... I must seem like such a flake but life is very different for me now! Making comics takes up more time than I ever estimated! Besides, I'm considering doing a new non-Nuzlocke story that better agrees with my current writing style. (It feels weird trying to write the same way I did in high school!)
I'm still 50/50 on the matter, though. I have quite a bit of attachment to the Soul Silver Nuzlocke because it was my first comic ever... I had so much planned for

I Will. - [Text Version]
I will Lose,
But I will also Succeed.
I will make Mistakes,
But I will also Learn.
So,
Watch me Live,
While you just Survive.
I will be Free.
I will remain Alive.
Just Watch Me.
Monsters that come alive in the
children who haunt the depths of the
paintings that revive the madness of
those on the island lost to the ocean.
How the paintings would come alive when you looked closely,
to distract you from the fact that the island was sinking again to its watery tomb.
How the ships would rebel by falling deep into the waters,
and refuse to rise before the island were to join them at the bottom of the ocean.
A lost civilization born on a speck of missing map,
with a thirst for organic blood and an aroma of the most attractive nature. It calls.
A museum of memoirs courtest of the cult,
who valued the islands skill f

I can't let you smother me
I'd like to, but it couldn't work
Trading off and taking turns
I don't regret a thing
And I've got this friend, you see

I'll arrest myself, I'll wear a shield
I'll go out of my way to prove I still
I still smell her on you
Don't tell me what I wanna hear
Afraid of never knowing fear
Experience anything you need
I'll keep fighting jealousy
Until it's fucking gone

Who makes me feel and I
Wanted more than I could steal
I'll arrest myself, I'll wear a shield
