Hello everyone! i have overcome my illness and my health is now stable! while i am not 100% recovered yet, I believe I am capable of working full time again.

I do want to thank everyone for the messages ive received wishing for wellness, and i do apologize for dropping the Gwen project. It was a project that i believe was too ambitious, with no clear plot or direction, continually changing in vision. I was striving for it to be "too perfect" to the point where i neglected my health to the point of near no return. I do not feel comfortable returning back to it yet, especially with my lack of animation practice, I believe it would be much better for me to ease back into animating, with smaller short form projects. (could you believe i was animating all these long form videos on my own?? lol)

I do have some good news! I was able to recover my hard drive which contained ALL the "Meru the Succubus" files! while i still do not have the consent of "merunyaa" to continue using her character "Meru" for animation projects, all other characters and story details were always in my complete ownership. This does not rule out the idea of spin-offs or continuing the story focusing on different side characters! Ill provide more details on what I mean by this in future posts sometime this week.

I do want to point out that while I haven't been working on any NSFW animation projects over the year due to my health, I haven't been doing nothing! I have been focusing a bit more on my physical drawing skills which Ill show off as well! I have also been collaborating with a childhood friend of mine on a passion project written by him and drawn by me. 

I understand without video / photos all of this sounds like a whole lot of nothing, but I will show everything off this week! I simply wanted to send a public message out to let you know I'm still around and will return to regular posting now! Thank you all for the support and for sticking around!

This is to the best of my ability my recreation of the Gwen project storyboard. I am dropping the project due to a sudden and severe decline in my weight and lung function, and have uploaded all of the assets as well as the full current build of the video, which can be seen and downloaded here:

I am not one to talk about my life if it's not work related, but if you were not aware I have cystic fibrosis, a degenerative illness for the lungs and digestive system. For most of my life it has been manageable, but over the past couple years I have noticed a decline in my health, and an even steeper drop over the past few months. I have neglected this health for the sake of my work, but my life has become completely unbalanced, and now little progress is being made in any aspect of my life. It is for this reason that I will be taking an indefinite hiatus to focus strictly on my health and nothing else. 

I am not sure of the time or date I will be ready to return but I do swear to fight for my life to recover and get back to making art and animations, my only true skill and passion. I apologize for what may have appeared to be a greedy string of lies since this project's inception, but the truth is I really thought I could push through this illness. I am in no way ready to retire or give up as my mind is constantly filling up with new ideas and stories that I must put to paper! This is my greatest motivation to pursue.
