By the way:
I'm hella slow with replying cause my mind's a forgetful and easily distracted mess, but I read all of the comments and/or notes you send me and I am very grateful to all of you lovely people you!
Thank you so much for all your favs, comments, notes, feedback, love and support. You guys are awesome and I wouldn't even be doing this if it wasn't for you, so thanks for ensuring my SPIKE project didn't end up being a scrapped, dusty old abandoned project stuck in some drawer Instead you have motivated me to work on this non-stop for well over a decade now. Please know that I'll cherish you all forever
PS: I'm way more active on Patreon Most of the content there is free to view, with the exception of some non-canon content and sneak peeks (although you get access to everything for one buck, no pay gap )

One of my favorite artists ive ever had the pleasure of seeing in my lifetime
so much of your work has brought me to tears, its amazing. so raw and real I love it deeply
please come back all your stuff is great, your a beyond amazing artist and i need to know if spike and sam friendship ever heals 😭
She's on instagram occasionally posting Tintin and Haddock art. Also the Spike project is over due to a big burnout and some other stuff that made her want to stop this project. She made spike back in 2002, then she began to post her stories about spike and his tormented soul because people loved her narrative. Her art has always been a huge inspiration for me, specially in 2021-2022 when I discovered her and immediatly became super obsessed with her art and stories. At the end of the day is her talent and her decision to do whatever she wants to do.
aw man that really sucks to hear, but you are right it is her decision, while i wish it didnt come to this i do respect her decision, i do wish she could of told us what was planned before and if spike and sam did manage to mend there friendship ![]()
She didn't stop her Spike project. At least from what I've learned, she took a temporary break due to burnout. But now, apparently, she's drawing a Spike story as a comic (though it was originally supposed to be a book). She said she spends all her free time drawing Spike. However, she does this very secretively and shows almost nothing about Spike. Perhaps I'm wrong and Spike is closed forever... but Oomizuao has said more than once that Spike means a lot to her and she will definitely finish it someday.
coming back after years of not being on Deviantart, if you're still active i want you to know i wanna see your comic book! please make it! I'd love to see the final project! your characters seem really interesting!
(just letting another artist know we as artists should lift each other up/need some lifting up on things such as motivation for this stuff, trust me, i am also doing a comic book and get how much time and effort it takes!)
keep at it!
