Hi I haven't updated in a year since I got busy around October 2023 onwards. Life had tons of ups and downs and currently I'm in a somewhat better place for now. Around February, I have gotten a pink 5th gen i7 HP laptop hand me down from my cousin before she moved back to California. It greatly opend new opportunities for my skill and ever since I moved out the town around March 2023, I got a job in the big ol City in July 2023. It didn't go what I hoped it would be and got a wake-up call on what mattered to me the most. My Family in need.


It was quite a culture shock for me as people said, living in the city, time moves fast, but for me it was the opposite with my new job. Time only moved fast when I'm not working on my job but on my personal projects. The moment I clock out at work, 10-30mins pass by real fast.


With the severe lack of resources living in the city, I had to strictly budget for transport, meal, and mobile data. I was not allowed to use company wifi so I had to calculate how much data to preserve and had to upload strategically but I mostly ended up doing analog journals most of my free time. A diary of how heavy my experiences were can probably be converted as a content. Sketch doodles can probably be uploaded as well but they're not really that great but we shall see...


I only survived for 8 months, the pay wasn't good enough and could not stand the work culture and how my work ethic was gaslit into countless violations. My family needed me to be present back in the home town so I could manage a new family business and help out around the house. I was only able to invest in lights and was not able to buy atleast a barebones Mini PC. I was 2 months away with almost able to buy it and have money to move to a different part of the Capital City. But I took a leap of faith and trust everything to God when I moved back to the the old town with only enough to live off for about a month or two with the uncertainty of what will happen in the future and no other safety nets.


Gladly I survived the year but I am still struggling to make ends meet and lately I am now in debt trying to survive and pay rent and insanely high electric bills. I think its starting to take a tall on my hairline at the age of 25 lol.


Anyways moving forward I will try and upload and animate really quick shorts to the social media platforms. Contents in Ko-Fi will have exclusive contents & ideas and will have early access to video uploads. Monthly Members will have influence on what the content will be based upon if they align with the values and content pillar.


I will try and follow up a content pillar and other behind the scenes as much as I can on Kofi. In the meantime, X & Newgrounds will have an earlier release dates compared to TikTok, YouTube, Facebook and Instagram.

Hi. I recently graduated Marketing at my Uni back in July (I think... I lost track since I've been a potato couch for months now). I'm taking a well awaited break and mostly played video games from classic retro games to Indie Retro games that can run on my low-end 2007-2010's potato PC. I took a hiatus on content creation (which I wasn't able to maintain consistently since I was in college) so I'm taking the time to wind back and stay on vacation mode till New Year. I'm mostly just doing some random doodles and experiments on art styles and browse some inspiration by looking at memes and cultured arts at the blue birb app that's currently chaotic right now as I am writing this.


It's been awhile since I have been active in this site. I remember roaming around here when I was looking through Jazza's Content and resources for flash animations. Last interraction I did here was probably Jazza's Challenge of the month and a forum that introduced me to Blender 3D that would be the solution for my background art. Learning blender was the best decision in my life and made animation fun again!


During my time in college, while learning Business and Marketing I was also learning Blender 3D and some little Music Theory which was supposedly useful for my pilot web series I was working on during my Senior High School. Spoiler alert, I burnt out, missed out in life because I was irresponsible in managing life and my expectations. I was not able to balance 5 pillars of my responsibilities and was too harsh on myself as I peer pressured myself with the fear of wasting time, missing out in life or not doing enough with my Life. After that first 2 years of college anime arc that leaves me with a harsh lesson and a scar that damaged my mindset and self-esteem. The other 2 years gave me time to enjoy and ease up a little despite having a world wide quarantine lockdowns.iu_809325_5143316.webp

I never thought I'd be able to relate to my art piece a few years later. I attracted what I fear the most I guess. To those reading this, please remember to take care of yourself and don't speed run your task and other responsibilities.


I made an awkward comic of how I became inactive and start hiatus.

brw I didn't apply for a job in the food industry as I have mentioned I was not able to juggle my responsibilities well. But I did help out with the family business.


TLDR: I finished "school anime arc" in my life and now I'm at the "Starting from scratch but with lessons learned from my journey Arc".


P.S.: I just realized I can probably use this site for blog post for now since I cannot afford a domain yet since I'm still broke from college. I hope this site is friendly to the new generation of artist and a returning users. I originally plan to be active to social media sites and forums by 2023, I might as well slowly start being active here, in twitter, and in discord for now.

iu_809047_5143316.webpThis was years ago but I was experimenting with Krita's layer effects and thought I'd share this since my homies liked it, I might as well share this fan art here as well.
