[EDIT]: 21/12/2017
I just remembered something important I forgot to include here. 

What would become of commissions after this change?

I've thought about it, because yes, I still want to earn a bit of money I can use on myself so I don't have to depend on my parents when it comes to just purchasing a new game or in-game currency. And you know, most of my friends have pones that they commission me to draw. Thus, I will still accept pony comms when it comes to commissions, HOWEVER, I may not actually be drawing them as ponies. In fact, if you do commission me a pone, I'll probably be drawing them in a more human-like appearance (but not necessarily anthro). This mostly means that I'll have to ask for any outfit that you have in mind for them or let me think up one myself. So hopefully this change will not affect my comms as much.

Also, after the tumblr's up and ready, commissions will be open with both dA points and Paypal options. Hurrah!

Thought I owe an explanation to those who have been wondering where I've been for the past few months or so, especially regarding my YouTube channel. 

WARNING: Things might get long, and I'll probably be rambling on at some parts or go off track. Apologies in advance. 

I don't really think I have an exact reason for my hiatus, because if you have known me for some time you'll probably know that I have a "I draw only when I feel like drawing" mindset when it comes to creating art.. and stuff. This was mostly due to something that occurred quite a while ago that led to this mindset, but it's not too important to elaborate too much on. Anyway, after that I only produced works when I felt 'inspired', but it honestly was more of a 'oh yeah I still have [insert project] to do. I might as well do it now' feeling rather than 'Wow, I really feel like doing [insert project] today!" sort of thing. And I'll be honest, most of the time when I complete commissions or art trades the motivation is fueled by the fact that I've clearly been holding out on it fOR WAY TOO LONG and I feel terrible about it, thus driving me to complete it and apologize for the wait. I don't actually get a sense of accomplishment when I finish my artwork, more so of a feeling of relief that I actually got that done and won't have to keep stressing out on it anymore. The reactions from my friends do make me feel better, but it's nothing I particularly feel very special about. 

I also realized along the way that my interest in the MLP Fandom is pretty much... none existent anymore. I rarely ever draw ponies or think ponies as much nowadays. In fact, I don't think I really do anymore. My interests shift a lot, but with MLP it's kind of to the point where I've pretty much left it behind already. I stopped doing pony-related things both internet-wise and in my personal life, so I guess this will be my official announcement that I will be leaving the fandom. Though I will not be taking down my previous pony arts or my YouTube channel (For anyone who has checked my YouTube may notice that I took down a lot of videos. I'll put those videos back up and I'll explain some stuff regarding my YouTube as well later on). 

For any who are curious as to what I draw nowadays, I do mostly human illustrations now alongside working on original stories and concepts. Information regarding those stories will be secret until I can officially start them as a series. 

While I do not plan on deleting traces of my MLP history, I don't particularly plan on continuing it as well. Thus, I'll be leaving this dA inactive and will no longer be responsive here. The same goes for my YouTube channel. I do, however, plan on moving to Tumblr as a place for my art and random thoughts and I'll probably update this journal when I finish setting up said tumblr. As for whether or not I will continue doing speedpaints in the future.. I guess we'll see when I decide to start again. For now though, I think I'll move away from uploading content on YouTube and focus on just drawing. 

Anyway, some additional reasons why I was on hiatus aren't very important things and are pretty lame, but I've been spending time playing online games and going out with my friends since it's the holidays. Just you know, doing my own thing. But when I do draw it's actually because I want to draw and it feels a lot different from before. 

You could argue that last time my only artworks were commissions or art trades and I'll probably feel better if it's my own thing, but if I had to be honest when I drew my "own thing" it always ended up with me getting frustrated and throwing my book across the room or shutting down SAI and watching anime or playing something. Also the reason why I don't have much art of my OCs in my dA, but if you want some evidence of this I can share some traditional and digital sketches that I never bothered to finish in the end. 

And if you want to know what MMORPGs (heh) you can find me on I play TERA, Blade and Soul and got back to Echo of Soul pretty recently too. Feel free to ask if you play any of these and want to find me there. 

But other than that I don't think there's anything else too important that I have to mention. If you guys still have questions about what's been happening or I missed something important out feel free to ask or mention as well. Once I set up my tumblr, I'll post a status when the dA goes offline. Until then, I'll still be online to respond to anything that happens.

Tl;dr 
I left the MLP fandom and this deviantART as well as YouTube channel will be inactive after I set up a new tumblr to post new (human) illustrations or fanart. I left the fandom because I didn't feel connected to it anymore, and will no longer be doing pony-related stuffs. 

Thanks for reading, ya'll. Cya again soon o/

Greetings, guys. Sorry for the hiatus, wasn't really feeling it to do some art. But I'm tryna earn points to get a rainbow power commish from Fuyusfox -(notice me senpai)- and I thought I'd do these. There are 3 slots open for these babs and may take a while to do, since I'm currently on exam period, heh. Each of em costs 250 points, and look something like Flutters over here:

I'd try to get em done asap, but you may have to wait a bit longer than just a couple of days. Comment down below if you're interested and I'll send ya a note. Thanks!

Commissions are back up for ya'll peeps that want art from me. Please don't complain about the prices, I feel that it is already reasonable enough with the amount of time spent and effort put into drawing/painting. I'll need examples for this too, so I'l gladly accept any commissions coming my way. 
*Note: Additional cost for speedpaint has been removed, I'll record every drawing unless you state not to. Also, I threw in more commission types.
So here goes nothing.

Welp

As promised in my recent video on YouTube, here is the journal to explain some stuff. 
Now I hope that before we go into all the details, you have to understand that I'm only 12. I am still a student in school and I don't make money out of my art (I can't do much with the points I earn from commissions). I take drawing as a hobby, not a job. Please be understanding if whatever I have yet to do for you isn't done fast/quickly. Especially so for this year when I will be taking the PSLE (Primary School Leaving Examinations) AKA, year end examinations. 

I really can't afford to fail this coming exams which is really just around the corner. This is the so-called "first checkpoint" in my life where there will be plenty more to go in the future. If I flunk the first block, the whole tower will collapse. That meaning, I'll need to work even harder in the future and the chances of me closing down my channel, Deviant art Account, my social media connections and practically any other links I have will be extremely high. And I don't think any of you want that. Despite doing rather well in my Preliminary  Exams with 2 As, 1 B and 1 A*, I don't know what to expect in the PSLE. With my Math and English taking a slight drop and Chinese hovering around a high B,  I am quite concerned about the grades. 'Judgement Days" are only 2 weeks from now and tuition ,which I take for all 4 of my subjects ,are driving me crazy with study notes and revision worksheets.

To help focus a little better, I'll be minimizing the time spent on the internet as far as possible. I won't be active regularly as such but I will be online from time to time. I won't be taking commissions for now (Zen if you are reading this send me a note) 

For all ya fellow watchers, followers and or subscribers out there, don't worry! I promise on October 4th I will definitely post a journal to let you guys know I'll be back and drawing! If any of you want to pre-order art, send me a note and I'll check back with you. But warning: You're gonna be waiting one hell of a time.

Alrighty then, that's all for now. Bai! *enthusiastically waves hooves*
