Hey, folks! Long time no talk!

Last week, I officially graduated from grad school -- yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm now the holder of a Master's degree!...And I've been so tired from two years of study that I've basically done nothing except rest and watch TV I've been planning what to do in the next few months, almost as a placeholder, because it's also that weird sense of "YEAH WORKING ON MY COMICS" and "nah, time to sleep a lot." XD

Having said that, I've been tired in general during this semester, mostly due to working on my thesis. Any updates I had, I usually just shot them out quickly on Twitter. I posted some art in the gallery here, but mostly still silent. I haven't responded to messages, but I'll try my best to get to them soon, now. Logging on to deviantART always made me tired instantly, though -- there were stuff I saw and liked to comment, but visiting the site itself and wondering about my own work on here felt more like a hassle. Whether that was due to having the problem of too many accounts to promote my work or because, after a while of not using it, I really felt as if it were time to just cut off deviantART from the list of accounts and not update mine any longer.

I don't know. It felt like other places worked for me, even Tumblr, while deviantART seemed to have always just been Blah There. (And before Tumblr and Twitter blew up too, may I add.) This is in terms of promotion and audiences and stuff, because I've made some great friends here and lovely people I respect a lot. I think I'm just tired of putting energy into something that hasn't turned out "well enough"? Hmm.

Anyway, it may be the overdue tiredness from two years of intensity too. I'll just update the gallery the minute I have new stuff, and let you guys know about my comics or other new promos. I'm thinking of opening commissions soon in some shape, so look out for that if you've been interested in getting something from me for a while. I'll see how I feel about deviantART in about a month or two. I am planning to reorganize Ara & Celi comics in a way where I will update the pages in order, since lots of edits will be coming to the pages too. Not art so much, but lettering and stuff I've been meaning to do, and I might as well do them now since the new website will be worked on too *_*

In the meantime, I just opened my Ko-Fi page! You can check that here:

That's about all I got! See you guys around, and I'll try my best to get to you, and entertain youuuu!
