#hiatus

The casino-kitchen askblog will be on a hiatus for the time being due to technology issues. My drawing tablet has decided to stop turning on and took all of my files with it! Until I can get everything transferred safely to another device (and the means to continue drawing) this blog will be on a temporary pause!

Now that Underverse 0.8 Part 1 is finally out, it’s time for me to step back and take a break from the series. It’s a bittersweet decision... seeing the amazing reaction to this episode makes me want to dive right into animating the next parts. But I know if I do, I’ll fall back into the same cycle of emotional burnout I’ve faced over the years. To break that draining routine, I need to stop for a moment. Underverse will be on HIATUS FOR 1 YEAR AND A HALF.

HOWEVER! I’m not disappearing entirely! I’ll still be working on the XTALE 21 YEARS comic, hosting Ask the Xtale Gang events, and occasionally creating short animated content. This break will also give me a chance to focus on my original project, METADORA.

I’d be lying if I say I'm a little worried about people forgetting the series during the hiatus. But I need this break, and I can’t thank you all enough for your continued support and encouragement. Even during tough times, knowing that this project was born from a mix of improvisation and silliness, has brought joy and inspiration to so many people reminds me of my purpose in this world. And I want to keep doing that until the end.

I hope to return with renewed passion and strength to finish this journey that has taught me so much not only as an artist, but as a person as well.

Thank you for being with me.

Silly fairy Hyrule. Only took 26 hours this time.

Yeah I know gang I been gone for two years and there’s a huge gap in skill. I sucked at art before and I still suck now.

I’ll maybe post a wip of what I was working on before it’s taking forever to get done.

Erm I guess a close up and the sketch. I’m going back to grinding for Gourdy in dandy’s world.
