I'm guessing all of you are kind of surprised to see an update from me, since it has been so long since I have done anything here. There is a reason for that and for those of you still watching me I do have bad news.
On December 1st, 2013 my grandmother passed away after a year and half long battle with cancer. We knew things were taking a turn for the worst in November but it just seem to hit so fast and she deteriorated so quickly, it was incredibly hard to watch. Thankfully she went peacefully, surrounded by her family at home. The last month and a half has been incredibly hard, much harder than the battle itself, my grandfather is not the same man anymore and I'm doing what I can to stay by his side and make sure he can move on from this. He won't but he has made progress but it's just us in the house now and it's quiet.
I want to tell you all that I won't be updating this profile again but I have a feeling I may draw something again but the motivation just hasn't been there. I have met a lot of amazing people here so I will continue to support of all you to the best of my ability, but when I signed on a couple days ago I had 1500 updates so I'm going to try my best to keep up this time.
Maybe to get some motivation I may take requests in the future but my ability has sort of rusted more than what it was but we'll see what happens.
I hope to here from you guys so tell me how have you been.

I'm doing a thing! *closed* update part 2
So I've been in a mood to want to sketch things and what better way to then do so in challenge like fashion!
Here's the deal:
I'm going to do 10 sketches in 10 days, they probably won't be amazing but who turns down free things?
Did I say free?
Yes I did, as a bit of a motivator I decided to give 10 free quick sketches to the first 10 or less people depending on the end result come Monday.
If I don't have a full ten people then I'll divide it up, so if 5 people then each get 2 sketches, 2 people then 5 sketches, if I end up with an odd number then I'll figure something out.
Let's see what happens.

Got tagged
Been a little more active favoring things and trying to get back into things so let's start with the tag from ~Saari (https://www.deviantart.com/saari)
The rules:
----------------
1. You must post these rules.
2. Each person has to share 10 things about themselves.
3. Answer the 10 questions asked to you and invent 10 questions the people you tag will have to answer.
4. Choose the 10 people and put them on your journal.
5. Go to their page to inform them they are tagged.
6. Not something like "You are tagged if you read that."
7. You have to legitimately tag 10 people.
8. No tag-backs.
9. You can't say you don't do tags.
10. YOU MUST MAKE A JOURNAL ENTRY, NOT
Still not dead
Sorry again for the unexplained hiatus again, as it's been a really long time since I've updated with anything. Good news is I am still here, bad news, well I probably won't be back again for a long time, if ever. I just haven't had any sort of creative impulse and it's been a rather rough few months. I have a book here that I want to draw in, so I can show you things, but I'm still at a point where I want to get better but the motivation just isn't there. I see all of you updating with wonderful things and I want to be part of the community again. Maybe I just need some help. Speaking of that is another reason why I haven't updated, I've bee
I've had a lot of time to think...
It's been almost 3 months since I really last done anything, not without reason of course. It's been a rather, odd/rough few months and it's still taking me a lot of time to think. I know I said I was going to try and be more active, like the times before, but there has been zero inspiration. For those that still care to see updates from me and don't mind a rant right about now and I can tell you a few things that have happened since I've been gone.
The big one though, the main thing that has hit was my grandmother's battle with cancer, so far things have been optimistic and the outlook is good. But something like this has hit so close to me

Hey, Mr-Alf.
I'm really sorry to hear of your loss. I don't think we've ever really spoken before. I, like you, just got on to around 1200 updates. 2014 so far has been a rough year to everyone around me.
I hope that things go well for you. Take it easy and know that kind thoughts are headed your way, even if only via random strangers on the internet.
Here's hoping for the best, yeah? (Sounds like we all need some ice cream.)
