Hello everyone, it's been awhile.
A lot has happened these past few weeks that have affected me and my family, and I thought it to be right to share this with you and to tell you all how things will be going forward.
To start, I'll be going into what has happened. There's no better way to say this, so I'll just say it; my Nana had passed away. This has shaken everyone in my family, but more so my Mum, my Aunt and most importantly my Grandad. It still hasn't sunken in that she's gone and that the family isn't going to be the same. There's more to it then just her passing, but I don't feel comfortable sharing it.
During the days leading up to the funeral, after looking through my social media, I notest something odd on one of my friends' page. Looking through, and to my shock, she had taken her own life. I knew from her that she had a hard life, and leading up to it, it was clear that she couldn't take it anymore. Through messaging with one another, I thought and hoped that I had talked her out of it and to seek professional help, I was wrong; and she had passed on that same day that we last talked to one-another, and I didn't know until weeks later.
Both of these events, back to back, has put me in a hard position (to say the least), a position that has not only affected me, my passion for drawing but also what I want to do going forward. I have made promises that I would focus on doing work for my backers on Patreon, but as things are, I just can't see myself doing it; let alone continue doing commission work. So as of now, everything including taking on commissions and doing more Patreon work will be put on hold for an unforeseen amount of time.
I want to apologize for everyone hoping to see more of my work, to commission me or hoping to get their tier drawing(s) done, this is a hard thing for me to say and even harder for me to do, but it is something that I feel needs to be done in order to get me back on track and to hopefully see things more clearer down the road. I know this has come out of nowhere for many of you, but I just wanted everything I was working on done and out of the way before I wrote all this down. I hope you understand and respect the decision I've made going forward.
Though I won't be posting or taking on any work, doesn't mean that I won't be around online; be it here or the websites that I hang around in. You can still message me and ask about things if you want and I'll try to respond as soon as I am able to.
That's about all I have to say for this update. Thank you all for reading this to the end, I know this was a long one but I had to get everything down and out of the way so that there wouldn't be any confusion.
Thank you again, and hopefully, not for too long, I'll see you all next time. Take care.

One again welcome, hope you’re all doing okay and getting ready for next month but mostly for Halloween. I wanted to make another update to keep you all informed on whats happening with the polls at the moment.
As of right now, I seems I’m leaning towards doing more Horror Film related drawings this year, witch I’m all the more happy to do. However there seems to be a lack of comments suggesting recommendations on what it is I should draw (i.e. the film, the monster/creature, the sense of witch I should draw from etc.) and I’m not really sure if the blog I posted made it clear.
There is still some time left before the end of the month to make a vote and a suggestion of what monster/creature/scene I should draw etc.
So once again, please pitch it and help make this Halloween a busy and fun time for myself and to all of you.
Make you vote and suggestions here!
Thank you so much, and thank you to all who voted so far.
