It only seems like a short while ago there were 3,000 or 2,000 or 1,000 or 100 or 5 of you! Slow or fast, time goes by; and I am very thankful for everyone~ I want to remember that I began with a few friends as watchers, and now all of you-- and let that be a humbling thing for me! It may have become too much for me to reply to comments nowadays, but know that I still read every single one- I'm always thankful when someone enjoys my work

Now, with my first year of art school coming to a close, it's summer again! And with summer comes new things-  things I hope we can look forward to!

Alexial's Nuzlocke off Hiatus
This is obvious, of course! My motivation for this is finding it's way back, and for that I am glad. Once again, keep an eye out for mid May! :>

More livestream sessions
Tutorials again, or just watching me work! The first session was a blast, and I'm always happy that there's an interest in seeing how I make art. I'd love to do another when time allows

Opening commissions for the very first time
Something I've never done before, and am excited to do! A lot of people have said they would be interested in commissioning me, which is yet another thing I'm happy for~ I hope to be open to that very soon


"Another OCT??" Well, yes! ;; try as I might, I just can't seem to finish up as a competitor- but I hope to change that! Amarantos-oct is not pokemon related at all- it centers around steampunk, heists, and just the joy of creating new characters! I'm really looking forward to competing in an OCT again-- and I'd love if you joined in too! : )

'Snipped', my most recent short comic, got a Daily Deviation!



Many, many thanks to for suggesting it and for the feature

This is my second DD; I never thought that would happen! I'm just so incredibly honored to receive it- especially for this! There are so many wonderful comments, so many of all your stories, that I wish I had time to reply to; I may not respond, but know that I still read and appreciate every single one ^^

I'm just so happy that some can connect and respond to this work, in a way that I had hoped for. Thank you all so much

It's finally ready! is now open for members~

In medieval Unova, conflict is brewing. Two brothers, four guilds, and the danger of a civil war looming on the horizon.
Who will you follow?

One more day.

November 1



Soon

I'm Sorry for so many journals, but it's pretty important!

I needed to drop out of ~

I know the first round isn't even over, but I have WAY too much schoolwork put on hold, I can't make anymore time for it! At this point I realize, because of my poor time management, I just shouldn't join anymore OCTs at all XD

Of course, The Reverend (my former competing character [link]) will still be active in the group~ sooooo many people have voiced their interest in him, and I am extremely happy for that! He won't disappear completely-- in fact, I'd like to complete his story in some form or another c:

So now everything is back to being completely normal! XD

wowowowowow it's been way too long. I haven't uploaded anything for forever!
_{don't even get me started on my nuzlocke. Not yet XD}

I've been traveling a lot over the summer, but now that's finally come to an end~
I started my first year at Maryland Institute College of Art!

We're about 3 weeks in, and I am finally getting situated. The great thing about being here is that I have LOADS more time to myself (no overbearing parents you see, hahaha) and my motivation is finding its way back

Of course you certainly can actually expect nuzlocke updates! The past year, my senior year, was absolutely ridiculous- Alexial's nuzlocke is almost 2 years old, but the updates just kept getting few and far between. I was stressed and strapped for time, my comp got taken away so many times, and honestly I think I shouldn't have been doing it at all. But now it will be better!

With that being said, I can't promise to update super frequently. My coursework may be doing what I love, but it takes up a good chunk of time! The comic itself has also been getting more complicated and time-consuming to complete. I lost all my files, the entire nuzlocke script when I killed my computer. And, to top it all off, I've got #Sixfold-League to worry about. But you know what? It's fine. It all depends on me and my time management! It's all about time~

It's been way way way too long, but I'm getting all my ducks in a row. I just wanted to let you all know what's been going down.

So let me get back into the game, and we'll see how this all turns out!

WAYYYY out of town: Going to the Philippines to visit family again!

But have no fear, it won't be like last year: I'll still update Alexial's nuzlocke while I'm there! I know by now the majority of you guys must be all like "Ugh, really? You really expect us to believe that? You post journal after journal of promises, but we haven't seen a single strip!"
Still, I'd appreciate it if you could trust me on this one XD

(Seriously, it all boils down to the fact that I've been running into a string of bad luck. Computer broke, I couldn't transfer any of my files, I had to get a new tablet... Some things are simply out of my control! )

Hopefully after this crazy stuff, after I get back and move out to college, things will settle down and I can FINALLY go back to updating regularly--

Till then, I'll try my best!

I AM BACK GUYS <3

I am back with my lovely new Macbook pro~



Finally, after about a week, I've crawled back onto the face of the internet!

The only thing is that my tablet is kind of wonky and my OS does not support the old Bamboo Fun Software- so I'll be getting a new Bamboo Splash within the next few days! c:

It's good to be back~

My laptop died.

It's my fault: I spilled water all over my Macbook's keyboard. I took it apart and dried it out but I haven't been able to turn it on since then. It's been damaged with water once before, and I've only had it for 4 years, but I'm very sure it's fried D:

Basically I'm saying that I'm useless without that laptop: I will not be able to upload any art or work on my nuzlocke. I'm currently typing this from my sister's computer, so all I can do is just putter around online for now!

I really don't want to have to get another computer. But if I do, I just hope that my old hard drive is intact, and that I can transfer all my files and programs properly when I get a new one (IF I get a new one)
_{No but in all seriousness, I'm going to college. If I don't get a new laptop I will literally not survive}

I'm so motivated to work on my nuzlocke, but I'll have to put it on hold again until I can fix my technological situation. Sorry guys. I'll try to work it all out ASAP D:>

Until then things are going to be quiet around here!

Hi peeps!~

Alright, so I'm gonna try to keep this short and sweet!:

#1: I've decided that, unfortunately, I have to withdraw as a competitor from ! It was fun while it lasted c: I will be going to the Philippines again soon, AND I will be starting my first year at MICA right when I get back. Because of those factors, I won't be able to compete properly. so instead I'm just going to make my character into an NPC~ For all you guys still in, I'm rooting for you!

#2: Nuzlocke is off hiatus! Alexial's Nuzlocke was kind of on an unspoken break, what with updates being few and far between for my heinous senior year XD now that I'm leaving End Run and it's the summer AND I'm much more motivated, expect more updates FOR SURE. This time: I promise! I am looking to do, at the very least, one strip every two weeks c:

#3: Formspring and Tumblr! I know the majority of you folks already know about my Tumblr and Formspring, but I'm going to start linking them in my journals and stuff for anyone that is new!~ You can ask me questions on Formspring that I'll be able to answer faster than here. On Tumblr I often have nuzlocke comic WIPs/extras as well other art that I don't post on deviantart! c:

Formspring: [link]
Tumblr: [link]

_{And #4 (sort of XD) icon chaaaange! c:}

*Sort a copy-pasta from tumblr*
I'm getting way too depressed to work on cosplay anymore. I'm not going Anime Expo anymore. I have a LOT of art-related priorities and promises that I need to take care of, and that's way more important to me!

It's always cost a lot of money to make costumes, and honestly I'm not happy about it anymore. At all. It stresses me out, and it stresses my parents out. I want to save for important things!

Yes, it's really great to go to a con and have fun and display your work, but that's no longer enough to motivate me and to work and go. I was never SUPER into cosplay, so I'd really rather just not do it anymore. (The good part is I've only spent about $15 on my materials, and I can easily re-purpose them for other things)

Spending money and time on things like this just always makes me depressed, and I REFUSE to let that happen to myself. In short, I just want to be more reasonable, responsible, and I want time to work on art.

The good part is, now, I have time to focus on End Run, my Nuzlocke, and lots of art that I owe people: things that I'm happy about doing! c:

Hey everyone!~ I know I've been VERY quiet lately, but it's that time of year again:

Anime Expo 2012 is just around the corner!

_{For those of you that are unfamiliar with it, Anime Expo is a HUGE 4-day Southern California anime convention that happens every year at the beginning of July. This year it's from June 29th to July 2nd at the Los Angeles Convention center! I've been going to this convention for about 5 years now... And I always cosplay!}

The next two and a half weeks I will be preparing my costumes, so I may be a little bit inactive (except for my End Run entries XD), but I'll try to get a nuzlocke update out before the con!

Now, on to the important things!:
These are the costumes that I am going to create, and the days of the convention that I will be wearing them!

Day 1 and Day 3 (June 29 and July 1)

Honchkrow Gijinka (Pokemon)



The pokemon gathering is supposed to be on day 1!~ My sister is going to be a super fierce Weavile gijinka c:

Day 4 (July 2)

Madotsuki (Yume Nikki)




Day 2 (June 30)

Alexial (Alexial's Emerald Nuzlocke )


By popular demand (aka some convincing from my sister and =niicakes XD )
I figured it doubles as an Emerald version May costume! (With slightly inaccurate hair :V)

~~
If I finish early, I'll upload a couple pictures before the con kicks off~
I hope to see you guys there!
If you're going, let me know! And you do spot me, (if you can recognize me XD) don't be afraid to say hi!

Yesss, it's out of high school and on to Maryland Institute College of Art!

Heyo heyo heyooo!

Hey peeps!

So so so I know it's been a VERY long time since the last update for Alexial's nuzlocke, but don't worry one bit! The newest part will be out in a few days. I'm going to try to get it out before Friday, because that's when my senior prom is!

Sit tight for a bit longer and I can promise a new strip! c:

This one thingalingling with the writer's own character. The out-of-the-blue relationship. The totally unnecessary rivalry. The character in the hospital. The awkward lemon. The pregnancy.

Oh my god please no more. Agh I'm not tagging anyone. I'm not even going to make questions. Leave me alone XD

What.

WHAT.

'Letterbomb' got a DD!!:


Wow. Woooooow. First of all I'm incredible surprised I got a DD at all! Agh oh gosh Thanks so much to *Ryuuka-Nagare and `FrockTarts
for the suggestion and the feature!

It's super surprising especially because it's this thing. I made it for my school's art contest, but they gave it right back to me: they didn't want it! XD _{It's just too weird for a High School art contest} But I'm glad everyone here likes it! Even if I'm not too sure it REALLY deserves a DD, I'm super happy!~

Goodness gracious, thank you all so much!

Heyoooo peeps! Sorry I've been so awful at answering messages and stuff. I really truly appreciate every single one of you: everyone that leaves a comment, faves, or just comes by my page! It's just that it's been getting harder and harder to answer everything, especially since I've been in Maryland this whole week!

But besides that, here's some important things that happened! <:

-2,100+ watchers!!
_{Wooooooow, seriously. I didn't even--- I CAN'T. Aghhh. I know lots of people's icons and names, but I most certainly DO NOT keep track of numbers! This is amazing! You can definitely expect me to draw something cool--- I may even do my very first livestream! c:}

-I'm going to Maryland Institute College of Art!
_{Yesssss! I visited MICA this week and it was super cool. I loved the dorms and the buildings and the classes there's lots to do. So after getting my final notifications from other schools, I decided that I'm going to go to MICA! I'm even wearing my MICA sweater right now XD See ya in Baltimore next year! c:}

-GETTING TO MEET UP WITH
_{Aghhhhh seriously. It was such a good time getting together! I had a lot of fun and it was cool to go to class with them~ We got to draw stuff and take dumb pictures together. I had so much fun yurbs! You are just the sweetest   ;w;}

This week has been a great week <3
