Hare and Scissors

Noiz: God, you’re stupid...

Koujaku: So that big button on the handle is the picture mode?

Haha, I was going to queue it at first, but I decided to post it on my own time. 

Anyway, I can’t say no to any of you, apparently. I didn’t draw a comic solely because I figured people would have all unfollowed this blog by then. T_T Also, I’m horrible with comics.

Hi everyone, it's been a great four years running this blog. I would first like to say that I had a lot of fun running it and I hope many of you has had fun viewing it. 

 As you could have probably tell from my updating status, I had went from semi-daily, twice a week, to once a week. The workload I have from school and my job has basically consumed all my time making for this blog. I've also spent more time working on different projects, such as original art and fan art for other fandoms. 

As much as I hate to admit it, DRAMAtical Murder is a slowly fading fandom. I've lost interest in it solely because many of my roleplay friends have already moved on. I still love Noiz and I have many merchandise and drawings of Noiz, but we could only go so far with it if we don't live in Japan honestly. My lack of interest has probably shown in my production of answered asks. I don't like knowing that I was lazy with my art and I have felt that I've only answered "easy asks" because I've either had no time or my lack of interest just makes me push something barely decent forth. I feel like giving you all lazy art is basically an insult to what I have produced on this blog before. If there's no heart in my drawings, then there's no point in my being here. 

I did learn a lot on this blog during these four years though. You could probably see the art improvement from my art from Day 1 versus now. I’ve tried many different styles, experimented with many different ways to draw certain things, and I’ve learned a lot about coloring and line art while running this blog. There are a lot of things I could say that I’ve learned here, but that would probably lengthen this post exponentially.

Needless to say, I will be on permanent hiatus status with this blog. I will probably not answer any more asks unless they're questions regarding the blog or if you've dropped by to say hello. Personally, I wouldn’t mind doing text-related replies, but that was not the original purpose of this blog and I don’t want to “keep beating a dead horse”, as they say. I do not know whether or not I'll truly come back and answer asks like I've done in 2014-2015, but I will try to reblog DMMD-related art that I have made from my art blog. 

The only thing I'll probably be doing here now is giving semi-frequent updates on where I will be in conventions, as I am now selling things at Artist Alley. Usually these posts will be deleted the week after so I don’t clutter up this blog. My ask box will still be open, you're all free to ask me questions or say hello. 

You can always find me on these social media sites, if you like my art. Again, I would really appreciate the support but it's definitely not required. I don't want to take advantage of the followers I worked so hard to get to view my art, but I know there are people I’ve met here who like my art regardless of subject. If you’re one of those people, feel free to check out my social media blogs below:

Twitter: @noizuit (personal, but I occasionally post sketches here and it’s an easy way to reach me)

Tumblr: @no1zikal (art only blog, easy way to find my commission info, table assignments, store, etc.)

Storenvy: noizuit (will frequently update with more stuff!)

Email: [email protected] (business inquiries or big messages you feel like I haven’t seen on this blog.)

It’s been a really fun four years. I hope you all enjoyed Koujaku and Noiz’s lives as I had fun making it! Until then, perhaps we’ll meet again someday!

June 13 is Noiz's birthday! It would be really cool (and a nice "bump" in the DMMD fandom) if we all did something nice for Noiz.

So artists, I ask you to draw, write, or do any other type of medium for Noiz's birthday! It can be Koujaku x Noiz or just Noiz in general (or any other pairing, but this *is* a KouNoi blog so I was trying to keep with the subject haha).

You can also send messages to Noiz via the ask or submit button! I'll compile the ask/messages around his birthday (I won't be in the country until 6/11).

Fanfics and art can be submitted via link so it stays on YOUR OWN blog so that people can credit you.
