As the title says, my internet was down, and I had to use my school internet to briefly get on. I'm really sorry guys. I truly am. But don't worry, I will, I repeat, I WILL get Page 24 up. No "if", "and's", or "buts" about it. Again, I'm deeply sorry. I'm really trying too. Don't lose faith. With you guy's support, I can keep drawing and keep doing Cryptic Yume. Not matter what I go through, I'm gonna do what I have to do.

Thank you guys for being there for me. And I'll always be there for you all too.

For those of you who don't know what Cryptic Yume is, check this out: [link]

Now... I've decided that... I'm going back to making this webcomic. After being on hiatus for a long time, I'm ready to get back on doing this webcomic. Don't get me wrong, I'm still working on my Creepypasta of YoungBlood. I've been a little focused on Creepypasta lately. Nevertheless, I still love cryptids.

In other news, I'm still doing everyone's drawings. A lot is going on due to college, taking care of the house, and doing errands. So have no fear. I'm still working on the requests for you guys.

That's all for today. Be on the look out for more YoungBlood, requests, and Cryptic Yume! It's gonna be one busy year...

If you value your privacy on the net and your fourth amendment right (for people who live in the U.S.), follow this: [link] and sign the petition to stop CISPA. It has already passed the House so do us all a favor and stand up for your privacy and rights.

Spread the word, guys!

No worries, guys. I'm still working on the drawings you asked.

A lot has been going on lately: Our car broke down and we're kind of having crazy days trying to fix it. Plus, I've been so tired ever since I came back to school. Now I have Saturday classes!

But don't worry. I'll be all right. And I will still work on your drawings, no matter what! Plus, I'm thinking about bringing Cryptic Yume back in April. Hopefully, I can put my mind at ease then, when we get our car fixed.

Hope you guys have a wonderful Easter!

HEY, PLEASE READ THIS- ITS SERIOUSLY IMPORTANT
THE FATE OF YOUR INTERNET-LIFE IS AT STAKE!!!!!!
APPARENTLY THERE IS A HACKER ON DEVIANTART, CALLED 'LIFE OWNER'.....

HE WILL FIGURE OUT YOUR ID COMPUTER ADDRESS, SO COPY AND PASTE THIS MESSAGE TO EVERYONE EVEN IF YOU DON'T CARE FOR THEM AND FAST BECAUSE IF HE HACKS THEIR EMAIL HE HACKS YOUR MAIL TOO (I think what it means by that is that he could assume the identity of your friends, and FOOL you into opening the letter since you think it's your friend that's sending it )!!...

Anyone using Internet mail such as Yahoo, Hotmail, AOL and so on. This information arrived this morning, Direct from both Microsoft and Norton. Please send it to everybody you know who has access to the Internet. You may receive an apparently harmless e-mail titled 'Mail Server Report'

This is a new virus which started to circulate on Saturday afternoon. AOL has already confirmed the severity, and the anti virus software's are not capable of destroying it .

The virus has been created by a hacker who calls himself 'life owner'..

Remember, always be careful of messages you receive in email-don't open them unless you're 100% POSITIVE they're safe. If you have even the SLIGHTEST doubt, DON'T open it-DELETE it, it's the smart thing to do!

Okay... lately, I've been in a good mood. This week is my final week of school and I got two days left for finals. Then, next week, break time. So I've been thinking: What should I do when I'm on break? Then I thought about you guys. I just wanted to say thank you all for being there and always cheering me on to do art. I don't do it to get popular or seen. I just do it because I love art and that God gave me this gift.

So! What I want to do, for you guys, is to draw a picture. Just tell me what you want, and I'll draw it. Whether it be Creepypasta, Star Wars, my OC's with your OC's or canon characters from stories/tv/movies, etc., I'll draw it for you. However, I won't draw mature things, like naked people and all that jazz. Lol But seriously...

And the best part: It's free.

Here's the ordering I'm going to do each drawing:

1. Penciling. If I make a mistake, it's easy to erase.

2. Inking. After I do each pencil art, I'll ink the outlines of the drawings.

3. Lastly, coloring. Once I'm done with the colors, I'll color the pictures on Photoshop.

Like I said, I want to thank you guys for being there for me. And I will always be there for you guys. Just because we come from different countries or whatnot, doesn't mean that we're not family. Everyone here on DA is family.

Thank you guys.

To me, this is just like SOPA. Stop CISPA and protect our privacy on the Internet! The link is below:

Just heard it the other day.

Wow... Never thought I'd have this many watchers.

I just noticed this yesterday. I was minding my own business looking at my profile when I looked at my Watchers. I was like... "Whoa..." I'm really grateful to have people look at my work and support me.

When I first came to DeviantArt, I was really nervous. I was afraid no one  would like my art. I've never really thought I'd have over 100 watchers. You guys really inspire me to keep on drawing and not give up. You guys are the reason why I do what I love to do. I'm even grateful to have family that supports me to keep on drawing.

I just want to say... Thank you. Thank you all for being there and cheering me on to do more art. Whether it be my webcomic, sketches, or other works, I will keep on drawing until my hand gives out. That's how much I love doing this.

Thank you all.

You know what? I'm going to continue Cryptic Yume.

Just because some people want to give out mean comments doesn't mean I quit on what I love doing. I do art and this comic because I love it. I do it for myself. No one else.

Furthermore, I'm going to take criticism. Whether it be good, bad, or just plain dumb, I'm going to take it like a woman and move on with my drawing. As Lecrae and others from "Man Up Anthem" would say: It's time to stop eating cookies and start eating meat!

Thank you guys; the ones who support me through this. You guys are the reason why I'm drawing. I'm drawing because I love doing this. Heck, when I was little, drawing was all I ever wanted to do! But you know what? I never cared on what people thought about me.

Key things I'm going to do from now on:

1. Take criticism. Whether it be good, bad, or stupid.
2. Improve on my art and writing. I want to improve because I feel that I can do this.
3. Be confident and strong. Time for me to start this. Now.
4. Last, but certainly not least, NEVER GIVE UP. I draw because it's my passion. God didn't give me this gift to quit. Something big is going to happen in the future. I can feel it.

Thanks for you guys help and giving me tough love. Now if you'll excuse me, I got me some drawings to do.

Some people have been putting my comic down due to them saying, "Your storyline is weak" and "Your art is not appealing" or "You have no character development". I just started the comic, for crying out loud! It's not like I'm going to finish with the snap of my finger. Deep down, I want to finish this comic. I really do. It's just... when I see other people's comics and some negative comments on my art, I feel that I'm not doing my best.

That's why I said I was on hiatus so that I could improve on my art more and be a better artist. Plus, I already have everything set for the future series, like storyboards, scripts, and whatnot. Lots of surprises and secrets will be revealed in the future comics of Cryptic Yume, but no one understands that when I say this.

So... what do you guys think? Should I continue on Cryptic Yume? Deep down, I want to. It's just that people have been giving me a hard time and this is my very first webcomic. I don't want to give up on this or my passion...

Rules:

1. For each of the 20 first people answering this journal, I will put their avatar and the 3 deviations I like most from their gallery on the list!

2. If you're featured, you have to do the same in your journal, putting the tagger on the first place. The idea of this is not to get a free feature, it is to spread art around for everyone!

Valentine's Day.

The day where love is in the air. The day where couples go out together and have fun. The day where lonely souls hate on Valentine's Day and beat on a heart-shaped pinata with a bat. Yes, Valentine's day is here, ladies and gents. As for me, I'm just here at school just passing the time. Do I have a lover, you ask?

No.

But it's all good. Because even if I am alone on Valentine's Day, I still have the love of my art and family. I believe that true love will one day come. Might take weeks. Might take months. Heck, even a few years. But one day, true love will show up. We just gotta have faith.

So to all the peeps out there, don't give up. You're never alone. There's always someone out there. Waiting as well. We weren't put on this Earth to be alone, but instead to spread the love to everyone; young and old.

My very... first... Feature!

Thanks for you guys' help on solving the mystery! One of the staff contacted me about it. If you like, you guys can see what the solution is here:

[link]

Thanks again!

Today, I looked on my deviations in the Statistics bar and had 114. Now it says I have 142. I know this may sound crazy, but I counted my deviations, along with my journals, together. Do the journals count as deviations now?

I know, I know... I'm late.

But hey, at least we can still have a wonderful New Year. Wow. We made it to "The Teens". God, I'm very glad to be alive and into the New Year. And for those who didn't make it, I give them my condolence...

Hey, I got great news though! This year, I'll be getting Photoshop and Flash on my laptop. Be on the look out, because more Cryptic Yume and animations will come out this year. This is one of my New Year's resolution!

I hope you all had a wonderful New Year. I love you guys and all your hard works. Keep up the great work and never give up. You all have a great gift.

Just saw this this morning. A fellow DA artist wants you guys to be careful on logging in and whatnot.

You can read more about it here: [link]

What am I thankful for? I'm thankful for having a loving family and friends for keeping me up and never giving up. I'm also thankful for you guys, the fellow DA artists who never gave up and showed kindness no matter what happened. I thank the DA staff for making this site as well.

Hope you guys have a wonderful time with family and friends. Be safe too! Now if you'll excuse me, I got some turkey to eat up.
