Hiatus on TAF (Temporary)
Posted 4 years agoQuite a few people have asked what the situation is on Tumble and Fall. I regret to say thanks to real life, Tumble and Fall is on Temporary Hiatus. Right now I am in my final semester of college and only enough time recently to even get this journal out. However even after graduation, it will take some time to get the TAF ball rolling again. We have partnered up with a publisher and plan on selling through them from now on. On top of that, the comics will be upgraded to a Black and white version and a colored shaded version. TAF issue 5 is also almost done and will be receiving this same treatment. So i just wanted to give a quick update to everyone. Probably the latest will be summer when TAF will be going again. Till then I have to battle with real life. If you guys have any questions feel free to ask.
Very busy (small update)
Posted 5 years agoI wanted to let everyone know that artwork and...well FA in general will be pretty slow to upload. I'm some what distancing my self with FA as well as in my senior year of college so i'm getting a mountain of work every week. I'll try to upload some work when i can but unless its a collab or gift or commission, it will probably be once a month.
On the flip side, tumble and fall is still in the works. Its currently in its story board mode atm so that will still progress even while i'm neck deep in programs.
I wish you all to be safe and healthy!

Be Safe Everyone
Posted 5 years agoTo anyone living in America and more over American cities, be safe out there. If you feel it's to dangerous to go to work then don't go. If you do have to go or be some where, travel with some one. Lock your doors and arm yourself whether it be a firearm or even a blunt object. Even have an escape plan as the cops may be too busy to help you. To those who are not in danger, please condemn these riots. No if ands or buts.
I understand this was started because a cop was extremely reckless and because of it a man lost his life. That cop is fired, arrested, and charged for his actions. I understand people wish for a reform in police training and i support those who originally peacefully protest. The people looting, hurting, and killing (yes killing) do not care for this. They do not care about floyds death or its cause. They do not care about reforming the police. And they certainly don't care about you. I laugh at those who smiled and cheered when the poorest among us had their property and lives destroyed all so they can feel like they are some how part of this movement, only to get mad when the barbarians came for their home in Rome. They are mass hypocrites who only cheer for when others suffer.
Support your neighbors. Look out for each other. You have the ability to defend yourself if you choose to do so. Be safe everyone.

Off and On for the next month
Posted 5 years agoHey guys, just wanted to give an update on things. With the whole corona virus shutting everything down combined with the absolute chaos with my school and job searching I might not be on too much for the next month or two but I'm gonna try and get what I can done. I had a few pictures in the works but they are bit large in production so it might be a while. Tumble and fall is still in the works too but we don't have a date yet.
In the mean time, i'm wondering if i should start posting collection of sketches I do. They aren't very good but I could use the feed back. I love to hear what you guys think.

Payment in full remaster?
Posted 5 years agoSo just a quick update guys, I'm sorry for all the slow updates and lack of art and what not. I've been busy as hell and been trying to get some art done for you guys to see.
Tumble and Fall issue 4 is still in the works and we are hoping to have something before the end of spring. I'll be sure to give you guys an update when we are closer to release.
Probably one of the most popular things in my gallery was the project between me and
dr_deadman Payment in Full, a dark tale of a 7 tailed fox keeping a dark secret as she does her duty.
https://www.furaffinity.net/view/8602279/ if you want to read the original.
This idea wasn't originally suppose to be a story that became a series but it slowly morphed in to one and became quite sucessful. However the comic was almost 100% paid for by me to be free to read and any small attempts to have it paid to continue failed (this was before patreon became a big thing) and because of this the comic was discontinued.
Years later and deadman and I have been asked multiple times to continue the comic. At this point I don't wish to "continue" the comic persay but rather remaster it as me and Dr Deadman have become better at our craft. Even so, there is the issue that comes with paying for this comic. So...I'll ask you guys what i should do.
Should I
A) make it a sellable comic like tumble and fall?
B) make it a crowd funded comic and if it reaches its goal the comic will be made and free to read?
or C) make it a monthly donation system where payers get to see a page early before release (If i go this route i would use Subscribe star because i don't trust patreon)
Let me know in the comments below what you think i should do if i do attempt to do this. Thank you again for reading

New Decade Changes
Posted 5 years agoHey everyone! First off I want to say Happy New Years and New Decade. I hope you all had a good time and this year be a good one for all! I also don't say this because i know its a bit annoying to have "Thank you for watching/faving" all over ones front page but to all the new watchers and favers, thank you so much! It all means something to me and helps me keep going.
As for me, my goals for this year is of course to improve my self. Whether it be writing my book or making a comic, I wish to get better at the arts and accomplish something. I've made some small updates on my page that I will continue to pick away at. I also like to get more "involved" at some levels, try to put my self out there, to be less afraid to do things. So expect streams some time maybe later this year to be appearing.
As a start though, I opened a Ko-Fi. I probably wont achieve much but its a good first start. If you want to donate I will have a link below. Very much appreciate it if you do!
Ko-Fi
I plan on opening a Subscribe star and MAYBE a patreon. Patreon seems so unstable though I'm not sure.
So yeah, that's my new years goals.
-Write a page a day
-Improve accuracy and speed for arts
-practice comic creating
-be more out going
-improve coding skills (that's more RL stuff)
How about you guys? What are your new years/decade resolutions?
Merry Christmas Everyone!
Posted 5 years agoHey everyone! i'm sure you are going to see a thousands of these but Merry Christmas everyone! I'm not going to be on for a bit, maybe to post a picture or two but i'm mostly going to be around family.
I hope everyone has a wonderful holiday and enjoy them selves and there loved ones.

On Tracing Art And Responses to it
Posted 6 years ago(If you know who this artist is please keep it out of the comments, this is not focused on said artist but rather the commentators and supporters. Thank you)
Recently there was an artist who was caught tracing art work. He was rather big on this platform and as such there was a big reaction. My focus on this isn't the artist himself. He traced (and did it for a good amount of time) and tracing is bad, end of story. What I am focusing on is the amount of people chalking up the backlash as "It was harmless and now people are bullying".
To be fair, it is to a degree. However, some one still took the time and effort to create something and then some one else came along, took the finished product, added tweaks, and in a fraction of a time made a product similar with minor differences and in some cases becoming more popular then the original work. This is why not only tracing looked down upon but if you were to do this in a professional field you could be fired or sued or both. (sadly it is becoming a problem in said field too but that's a topic for another day)
Normally when a tracer is called out they are rightfully shammed for doing so. However in this case, because it was a much more popular artist (an artist who's been doing it for years) people not only seemed to sweep the crime under the rug but defend them believing anyone who critiques them is a bully.
This is an immense double standard, almost reinforcing the idea if you are popular enough, you can never do any thing wrong. Don't pat some ones back for owning up to a crime while at the same time ignore what they did. Defend them if some one goes too far but not because
A little context here as well. I will give credit for the artist in question for owning up to it, removing the arts that were traced, and taking time to think about said action. Every ones trust in his work is waned but it was a step in the right directions both to be a better artist and a better person. Again, this journal isn't for the the artist in question but rather the white knights.
As for the act of tracing itself, it should only be used to learn, never to take credit. It should at best be shown to friends. There are poses that are common to use or maybe you yourself wish to use. If you really want to build off it, break the drawing down to its core elements (Shapes and lines) Change it up some if you can and most importantly, redraw the picture (off your own broke down version and sketch) 3 times. You'll be amazed how drastic not only does your picture change but how much you learn doing it. Tracing should still be avoid though when you want to make a final product.
I love to hear your responses on this guys. I know i'm not a artist my self so if i got anything wrong or messed up please let me know in the comments below.

Special Projects soon to be underway and questions
Posted 6 years agoAs many of you know, I love making comics. Its part of the reason why I've started to learn how to draw, so i can build my own worlds and ideas. However i'm not at a level i'm comfortable with when it comes to my stuff. That and the increase of life demands makes it hard to improve faster.
That being said, I will be setting up a special system soon to help make comics with the help of other friends and artist to have them come out in a timely manor and for the most part they will be free to read. The catch? I will need your guys help to help fund these comics. When the first comic is ready to be created and funded, more details will soon follow.
In the mean time, I really like to know how I can "advertise" my self better. This is for the most part a part time gig for me so i can't do many options. But i do respect any support you can give me, whether it be donating shines, posting art tutorials, spreading my name, or even just leaving a comment with your opinion and support. Every bit helps me keep going here.
As always guys, thanks for reading and I hope you enjoy the future project.

Improving on art - Need your help
Posted 6 years agoSo you probably seen an uptick art done by myself. I'm trying to improve on my art skills and more over my speed at making them. I don't plan on being the fastest in the west but i like to at least make half decent sketches in a hour. I take any and all criticism and any and all tutorials whether it be for sketches, lines, anatomy, and lighting.
Programs i use
Krita (coloring)
Gimp
Clip studio
For those curious about Tumble and Fall issue 3, All sketch pages have been done and the inking is in process. I don't want to give a estimated date yet but i'm hoping we will have something to confirm with in the next 2 months. Thank you for your support guys

Update on Tumble and Fall Issue 3
Posted 6 years agoJust to get it out of the way, yes the comic IS still being developed. I appreciate all you guys for your support and patients. Unfortunately we hit a bit of a snag. The computer frying kind of snag. Both my co creators hard drive and back up drive fried. Luckly we didn't lose anything but we are still waiting to see what can be saved. When things are back in to motion i'll post another journal.
...so how are you guys today?
...so how are you guys today?
Thank you all
Posted 6 years agoIts been a while since I did a journal like this. I've noticed that i got a lot more page views and watchers over the last couple of days, mostly in part of the art dump i've been doing lately. I'm trying to become more active against but i've kinda hit a stone wall at the moment. I thank you all though for your support.
I want to do many more story based works but i also like to make more art work and practice so you might see some dumps of sketches done by me. However between real life and this maybe the load is a bit too much for me but i've kinda burnt out at the moment. Depression and anxiety hit hard this last week and i'm just trying to keep my self afloat with my mind set. I'm hoping i get in to the swing of things.
I have few projects in mind and while i wish i could do more free work, a lot will be a pay to read type system as its the only way to pay for other projects and ideas. Maybe in the future there will be more free to read if the pay to read gets enough support. I would like that.
Lastly, i can't thank everyone enough for there support. It does mean a lot to me even if i don't show it in the best of ways. Your comments mean a lot to me and helps me know what i am doing is worth it at times. I hope you all have a great year!

Update and Opinions needed (please comment below)
Posted 7 years agoSo my fall and spring terms are coming up soon and the Fall term is going to a rough one. 3 math classes...i think my counselor is trying to kill me! Anyways because of this I have to ask to have my job post pone while at school. While i'm at school as well my time to create art as well is going to be on hold too.
Tumble and Fall is still a go and chapter 2 is being worked on as we speak with 3rd chapters script is nearly complete. But even then it will still take time to complete them.
So this is where I like your opinion guys. I like to open a donation platform through Ko-Fi. Any money put through there will all go to art and comic's depending on the amount. Eventually patereon will be the next step when me and Dr.Deadman can complete the first phase of our project. Till then Ko-Fi will be the main hub.
Like I said, Any money donated to Ko-Fi will be put towards art of my characters ether as a single pic or a comic depending on the amount and may lead to an art dump at the end of the month on FA (I won't put it on Ko-Fi just to avoid getting in trouble with the adult content stuff). I like your guys opinion to see if there is anything that I could do to help maybe make this a better deal for you guys as well if there would be donations at all.
I don't normally like asking for money with little in return but its the only way i can finance art for you guys to see while i'm at college.

Lucas Films Cancels/Postpones Future Star Wars Movies
Posted 7 years agoSo i'm taking a little break from FA And other places to kindof play with idea's and such but I thought this was a big thing that I like to talk about.
So...yeah! Disney/Lucas Films has decided to postpone or even out right cancel all its future installments of Star Wars Spin Offs for now This is pretty new news so it hasn't been concrete but here is a link for some info.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fuPFaPTXQVY
Now you can look at this 2 ways.
1. They are postponing the spin offs to put more focus on the trilogy series or
2. They are the spin offs thinking that they don't make as much money.
I am really hoping it is the first one because...well...star wars as it stands now sucks. Now this is not an attack on anyone one except the poor decisions made by the head of lucas films who may have been silently let go. Pro or Against the new star wars series, you can't denie the fan base has been split.
I am on the against side and have been holding back this rant for a while now so if you don't want to hear me talk about the failure of the films i suggest you leave now and hope the films are better after today
1. The cancellation of the extended universe and lack of continuity
This isn't really a big deal so much so as a piece why everything seems like a mess now. Unlike star wars universe, the marvel universe could pump out decent stories quickly because the characters and stories were already made and just needed tweaking to fit in a movie. The star wars universe not only started from scratch but also removed the "Continuity experts" that George had on staff to help keep the everything (from books to games) in line with the universe.
This wouldn't be a problem if they had a thought out plan on how the trilogy were to go but they didn't. In fact they treated the new trilogy like a hot potato where who ever gets the potato gets to spit out a story. Ryan Johnson even said they had no plans on how to continue from the force awakens and was given full freedom to do what ever he liked so long as he followed Kathleen Kennedy, which brings me to my next point.
2. The Mismanagement of the SWU and its criticism
Kathleen Kennedy, the person in charge of the star wars saga now, seems to have bitten off more then she could chew. Or maybe she thought this was a chance to do star wars how she felt star wars should be. I really feel it is the latter as evidence by how many directors had been fired and how high the cost of each movies have been because of it. Solo and episode 9 both lost their original directors for "creative differences". These movies are already on an extremely tight schedule and a massive budget, increasing their chance at failure. Most of this was shrugged off though even though criticism.
In fact it seems any criticism of the movies was ether hidden or was out right attacked back by the creators, blaming the fans even for the failure of the movies. Which to some degree is true but not the same reason they say the movies failed. When ever the creators of the new star wars fire back at the fans they cast this huge net. You don't blame the people who buy 1000 dollar light sabers and buy tickets weeks in advance...you just don't! They are your bread and butter and yet because you think your movies is a master piece (an actual quote from Ryan Johnson). In fact, if i could find it, Ryan Johnson even said in an old interview that his philosophy was to get people to ether love or hate his movies straight down the middle...you literally gave a guy who's whole philosophy in movies is to make people love it or hate it! Not to make a good movie. So yeah, i think it is a master piece in his eyes because that's exactly what he did to the fandom! And then you give him a whole trilogy to write! Are you trying to lose everyone? What the he-
3. Agenda Pushing and Forced Diversity
This is the last point i think i can make for now. I won't even go in to the movies themselves too much because that's a whole beast to tackle by themselves. Maybe I'll do that in the future if they don't learn from episode 9. I want to make this clear too, I AM NOT AGAINST DIVERSITY. I actually think Finn had the most compelling story arch to tell out of all the characters. Shame they seem to squander it.
But it became very clear that Star Wars was a means to push an agenda with force diversity in mind. Mainly pushing for powerful female characters. The force is female, this isn't the star wars you grew up with, this isn't for boys...all of these were quotes used to promote the new star wars. And the characters are a clear sign of this. We've had more female characters in the latest movie then all the other star wars combined. And yet all for the wrong reasons.
I could go on on how haldo kept her plan for a secret for no reason just to look like a hero in the end and she smashed her ship in the enemy ship known as the Supremacy...do you get it!, or how rose sabotaged finn sacrifice for no other reason to then to look like a hero, or how ray had abilities that she couldn't possibly have yet master them in days, or how the males, even luke skywalker, was made in to a idiot or fodder for the female leads to look better...i could go on but i'll just say this...
Female characters can be done very well. But story, character archs and struggles, and plot come first! Everything else comes second other wise its not a story, its an agenda and a very blatant one at that.
This was a pretty long rant so I'll end it here with this metaphor.
When George Lucas Star wars was bought out, he handed them a gold egg rich with history and a massive amount of people who love to look at said egg. It was old and dinged up but it was intact and priceless as it was and yet still could be made better. Instead though, Disney said that the egg was flawed. It didn't match what they wanted to do with it. The egg now is cracked, damaged, and almost nothing like what it once was. That to me is what star wars is now. A shell of what it once was.
Will this decision to hold off the spin offs save it? Maybe but the damage seemed done. And to those who may criticism me on this, i am open to having my mind changed but ask yourself first. Was it shown or explained in the movies? If it wasn't then ether i have to read some third party novel or something which the movies don't warrant me to do so or you are just writing the story for them.
In any case i do hope the franchise can be saved. I love star wars and i can only hope they can save it.
(I didn't really double check my work so i apologize if it seems a bit cluttered)

This isn't really a big deal so much so as a piece why everything seems like a mess now. Unlike star wars universe, the marvel universe could pump out decent stories quickly because the characters and stories were already made and just needed tweaking to fit in a movie. The star wars universe not only started from scratch but also removed the "Continuity experts" that George had on staff to help keep the everything (from books to games) in line with the universe.
This wouldn't be a problem if they had a thought out plan on how the trilogy were to go but they didn't. In fact they treated the new trilogy like a hot potato where who ever gets the potato gets to spit out a story. Ryan Johnson even said they had no plans on how to continue from the force awakens and was given full freedom to do what ever he liked so long as he followed Kathleen Kennedy, which brings me to my next point.
2. The Mismanagement of the SWU and its criticism
Kathleen Kennedy, the person in charge of the star wars saga now, seems to have bitten off more then she could chew. Or maybe she thought this was a chance to do star wars how she felt star wars should be. I really feel it is the latter as evidence by how many directors had been fired and how high the cost of each movies have been because of it. Solo and episode 9 both lost their original directors for "creative differences". These movies are already on an extremely tight schedule and a massive budget, increasing their chance at failure. Most of this was shrugged off though even though criticism.
In fact it seems any criticism of the movies was ether hidden or was out right attacked back by the creators, blaming the fans even for the failure of the movies. Which to some degree is true but not the same reason they say the movies failed. When ever the creators of the new star wars fire back at the fans they cast this huge net. You don't blame the people who buy 1000 dollar light sabers and buy tickets weeks in advance...you just don't! They are your bread and butter and yet because you think your movies is a master piece (an actual quote from Ryan Johnson). In fact, if i could find it, Ryan Johnson even said in an old interview that his philosophy was to get people to ether love or hate his movies straight down the middle...you literally gave a guy who's whole philosophy in movies is to make people love it or hate it! Not to make a good movie. So yeah, i think it is a master piece in his eyes because that's exactly what he did to the fandom! And then you give him a whole trilogy to write! Are you trying to lose everyone? What the he-
3. Agenda Pushing and Forced Diversity
This is the last point i think i can make for now. I won't even go in to the movies themselves too much because that's a whole beast to tackle by themselves. Maybe I'll do that in the future if they don't learn from episode 9. I want to make this clear too, I AM NOT AGAINST DIVERSITY. I actually think Finn had the most compelling story arch to tell out of all the characters. Shame they seem to squander it.
But it became very clear that Star Wars was a means to push an agenda with force diversity in mind. Mainly pushing for powerful female characters. The force is female, this isn't the star wars you grew up with, this isn't for boys...all of these were quotes used to promote the new star wars. And the characters are a clear sign of this. We've had more female characters in the latest movie then all the other star wars combined. And yet all for the wrong reasons.
I could go on on how haldo kept her plan for a secret for no reason just to look like a hero in the end and she smashed her ship in the enemy ship known as the Supremacy...do you get it!, or how rose sabotaged finn sacrifice for no other reason to then to look like a hero, or how ray had abilities that she couldn't possibly have yet master them in days, or how the males, even luke skywalker, was made in to a idiot or fodder for the female leads to look better...i could go on but i'll just say this...
Female characters can be done very well. But story, character archs and struggles, and plot come first! Everything else comes second other wise its not a story, its an agenda and a very blatant one at that.
This was a pretty long rant so I'll end it here with this metaphor.
When George Lucas Star wars was bought out, he handed them a gold egg rich with history and a massive amount of people who love to look at said egg. It was old and dinged up but it was intact and priceless as it was and yet still could be made better. Instead though, Disney said that the egg was flawed. It didn't match what they wanted to do with it. The egg now is cracked, damaged, and almost nothing like what it once was. That to me is what star wars is now. A shell of what it once was.
Will this decision to hold off the spin offs save it? Maybe but the damage seemed done. And to those who may criticism me on this, i am open to having my mind changed but ask yourself first. Was it shown or explained in the movies? If it wasn't then ether i have to read some third party novel or something which the movies don't warrant me to do so or you are just writing the story for them.
In any case i do hope the franchise can be saved. I love star wars and i can only hope they can save it.
(I didn't really double check my work so i apologize if it seems a bit cluttered)
Latest Update To Tumble and Fall: Whats happening next?
Posted 7 years agoSorry to keep every one in the dark on this. Lots of planing and thinking and reworking but Tumble and Fall Remaster is in full throttle. My new co creator is 
ndnode who does amazing work. We have already a few comic pages and tumble which look fantastic and more highly detailed and fall remaster chapter 2 script is ready to go. So I'm going to give a few outlines on whats going to happen.
First: The first issue.
Like the previous version, issue 1 will be free to read for everyone. But until issue 2 comes out we will be releasing a page per month. (more on that when its close to release)
Second: Other Issues
From what we plan, we will mostly be selling through a distributor though we are still working on how that works. However the platform we plan to sell through does also offer paper back issues so yes, tumble and fall might be purchased in paper back form. We also will make a starter pack deal of issue 1 and 2
Projects in mind: We have a few things plan but these aren't concrete yet from a sort of Tumble and Fall Bible (a rule book on the world based on the world.) A animated advertisement, and even a discord server. Now these are all planned by not ready yet nor may come to be.
So yeah that's about it. Tumble and Fall issue one will hopefully be done by the near end of the summer so keep an eye out for announcements.
And shout out to ndnode for making all of this possible!
IF you guys have any questions give me a shout in the comments.

Tumble and Fall: Update (Important to read)
Posted 7 years agoI do apologize for making two journals for this. I was on my phone and was busy when i made the first one.
So what is going on with tumble and fall? Yes original is canceled between me and my co creator
Reagan700 This is big news and there is a lot to digest...pun intended.
So there is a lot of questions that are going to be asked and I hope to answer them here.
So is Tumble and Fall unavailable to purchase?
Tumble and Fall the original is available for purchase UNTIL MAY 5th. After that the original comic will never be sold again by any one. If you wish to purchase an issue of your choosing I suggest you do it now. Go to a link to get your copy. http://www.swallowtailproductions.c...../category/vore
What happens next to the series?
While the original will no longer be available after May 5th, a Tumble and Fall: Remastered version is being developed with a new co creator. I am very excited to introduce him but we are currently developing an agreement between us now. Legal gumbo jumbo. Once it is signed I shall officially introduce him.
What happened between you and Reagan?
This decision was thought long and hard by both of us and something we both agreed was for the best. The series was getting long and strenuous on both of us. So we reluctantly decided to stop the series. If it wasn't for my hopefully soon to be co creator and friend, the tumble and fall series would be no more. But it is for the best. Please do not spread rumors as we are keeping our separation civil.
What will change from the Original to the Remastered?
Unfortunately since Nobu, Alexia, and Vishnu always belonged to Reagan, they will no longer be part of the series. The "character" of the characters shall remain though as most of them in the story didn't stay true to Reagan's original design. They will have a different look, design, and maybe personality.
As for everything else, there will be some elements that will be changed in the story itself and improved. I've already gone through issue 1 and issue 2...boy that beginning I scripted was a mess lol. We also may add world building info too the comics themselves to help those who are interested in the series to grow their own characters.
All in all a lot of the story will remain the same for the most part but some will be different.
In summary, The original Tumble and Fall will end on May 5th so get your issue if you were thinking about it now before its gone and a new Tumble and Fall series will be made soon as it's replacement.
Feel to ask any questions but I do have a question for you guys. What would you like to see in the remake? Please comment and I'll answer the best I can.

More info about the projects
Posted 7 years agoI want to first apologize for the last journal. While much of what i said is true I was being a bit depressing as I said it. But more on the project concept.
I have a few projects I like to work on with some friends to make "Free-to-Read" comics. Much like the old Payment in full series but...way better organized. As well as short stories comics that will be sold like Tumble and Fall. The projects are...
Till the End: (Planned to be free to read) A dragon and a knight ban together to fight off evil (general idea)
Project Moon Night (Ether sold as a series or Free to read): A genetic altered werewolf lives the good life and enjoys her "nights on the town" but her true purpose in life is revealed to her.
(side note: Tumble and Fall will continue in the summer at some point)
(Note: The two projects are still in beta development)
Now while the 2 other projects are "Free to read", there will be a patreon tied to them so a constant stream of comic pages can be produced but it can only be created with your help.
More updates will come in the future but if you are interested in any of these projects for now please leave comment below if you are interested
These projects will be fueled by you the viewer. More updates will come as each project comes to be.

The Future (projects maybe?)
Posted 7 years agoHey every one, been a while.
So after the lack luster responses to the latest picture uploads First I do want to thank those who do comment, fav, and support me from the shadows. I do appreciate ever little bit. But i've noticed a trend now that i get a lot of faves but very little reply in comments, like a 2 to fifty ratio and that's when its just posted. Now i don't want to sound like i'm ungrateful for all of this but it does have me thinking what to do next.
So i've already said in the past that I'll be starting a non vore account separate from vore and will not be shared between the two. I will give a heads up though that a lot of pictures will be deleted as characters will be transferred from here to there. Not everything will be deleted but a good bit will.
I've also begin to question the creation of some future projects. Tumble and Fall will still continue as that will not be fair to my co creator. There will also be one new single story comic released in the future. However the biggest things that were planed may be put on hold or completely shut down.
Now I say this because the comics I had planed were going to be free to read how ever I would use a Patron account to help fund these comics as this would be a long and expensive comic. One that could last a year or more. But there is no point if it can't get the support it needs.
So in short Prepare for some deleted content. And if want to see these big projects be created, please leave a shout in the comment below saying that you want to see these comics and or donate to a patreon to help fund them. Also if there is anything you wish to see from me going forward, dont be afraid to say so.
If there is enough support for these projects or people are curious enough, I will release another journal explaining what they are.

Been a while since I made a journal so I thought it'd be a good idea to do an update. First off, while I'm still into vore and stuff i am trying to shift my focus away from the vore community. I'm mainly focusing on writing a book, hoping to get it at least put into the system to see how it goes and getting ideas out to flex out stuff that doesn't need a full belly after eating someone...heh.
I've also been trying to do my own artwork. You may see some post here at some point soon...hopefully...maybe. However, like the writing, most of that will be focused on nonvore stuff as well. It has been really hard to produce something new or interesting...not to mention there is a list of art i promised to people that I need to finish...I do that sometimes x.x
Anyways. That pretty much it. A lot of things may be slowing down as I try to situate my self in real life and practice normal nonfetish stories and ideas. I still won't say what my work is here but at some point, it'll be posting stuff that may seem familuar on DA if you are curious.
Happy Thanksgiving to every one and i hope everyone has a good holiday season.

My heart goes out to Manchester victims
Posted 8 years agohttps://www.google.com/#q=manchester+bombing (i'm posting this so you can do your own reading as time passes and facts change)
Many terrorist attacks are sad and devastating to a nation and its people but this one is especially appalling as it targeted the youth's of Great Britain. When my friend told me about this attack, i didn't feel grief. I didn't feel sorrow. I felt angry. I felt angry because I and many others are use to hearing this news. We are use to hearing that a bomb went off and that people died and...that shouldn't happen, especially when the target were younger audience.
I have seen very few people talk about this and I feel, at the very least, some one should say they their heart goes out to those who's parents who don't have kids any more, or kids with out parents, or the people who are paralyzed and hoping that they will at least make some recovery, or those who are missing that they find their loved ones in this chaos.
I don't normally make political statements on FA since i am in the minority but i don't care. We say we hope it doesn't happen again but it will and we all know why. You can call me an Islamophobic all you want, it wont stop these attacks, it wont stop this suffering, and it won't stop people from losing their loved ones. Stop blinding yourself and silencing others because you do no one any favors. I do not hate Muslims, i hate those who try to hide the suffering of others for their own political and selfish reasons.
My heart goes out to those in Manchester. I wish for the best out come and I really do wish this would be the last time.
