It's been too damn long, hasn't it? I know that I haven't been posting much of anything as of late but I am about to explain why. You see, everything that happened has unraveled for a reason. Recently we moved out of Texas due to my parent's health, and all I can say is that I have been against the move, to begin with. Hell, a part of me is glad to be back but another part of me wanted to stay even if it meant suffering a little. So yeah, it is seriously going to be a long while till I feel like I'm back to normal again. I have been seriously been dealing with a lot of stress. Still, it has been quite a long deal but then again what do I know?

Hi, if you're seeing this while I work on my profile just know that I am trying to improve it in everyway that I can so that I can balance out the usual drawing style I do and then balance it out with new things that I am trying to make possible not just here but everywhere else including on NEWGROUNDS.COM to say the least. I am also busy on a soundtrack music project that I am also doin so I won't be on as much as I use to be. Also, I am praying to god that I can finally premiere the podcast series ( formerly a pre-recorded podcast series) that I made last year called "Ph0eniX-Cast" on twitch.tv once the new year rolls around that is. I am however plotting out how I will be doing the series for the first time ever on twitch, and I hell there different possibilities kicking me in the face!

Yes I am alive.

2 min read
Longtime no see y'all, and I'm sorry that I've been away for a long time due to life in general. It's been off and on lately due to some personal issues that have come up like for example, my dad's mind is seriously failing him at this point and that's very troubling at this rate I don't know what to do about it.

The other thing of course is the working of the chapter two rewrite for book one of the Darkling Origins Saga Book series ( which I haven't had any time at all to work on the book.) but I have been drawing again as of late since I usually never make the time to at least.

Now, as for the chapter two rewrite, I'm taking my time with it just to make sure that I don't get a total typo mixed into the process (Which of course is very bad). The name of it has been changed up and the new name for it is known as.

"The Conflict Within"

So far I have been making it and the reason why I chose that name will definitely blow your minds. The reason why I chose that title for that chapter is due to the balance we face within ourselves every god given day.
Trying to balance the darkness within ourselves can be impossible most of the time with every ounce of stress unimaginable.

Sometimes there are things that are beyond our control that may appear to be out of our own reach with this constant struggle. Why would I think that? Well I can tell you personally that there some things that may tip the balance within the terrors of the darkness, a darkness that tends to leak out when we don't realize it.

How it all started:


The series started out from many stories that I wrote when I was a kid and back then when I was four to five years of age I started to think of creative ideas for some amazing stories which included some characters that I had to create through the drawings I ever created for example. “Jason Raiden” Now that character took me back to my first story that I started to write countless times over and over.

“The temple of Evil” Now that was the only title I had in mind when I was younger, but the title sadly lost its touch when I got older. During my fifth grade year I switched up the title again to this time. “The Temple of Darkness” Unfortunately that one didn’t seem to fit but over that same time period I started to get into drawing Anime/Manga and needless to say I was still learning at the time as I slowly learned how to piece each of the characters together through each visualization.

However, I stopped trying to write up a story but I did focus more on my visualizations into my art. Junior High rolled around for me and a special someone that I love dearly came back into my life at certain times when I got the chance to see her again which was also the year things started to change. 

Why use the Manga/Anime art style?


Well, the reason why I use that style was indeed something else. As soon as I caught on to that style it was like a whole new world opened up for me leaving me to a lot of my vices to improve on over the years not to mention that it was fun to learn!

I mean, sure it's going to be infuriating to learn at first but once you get the hang of it then you can understand the kind of manga or anime art you can at least create with the amount of time you can put into it.

The struggle:


My junior high years (or middle school as I personally call it) were the worst years of my life! During my first years of that period did not come to me easily because the older kids and my fellow classmates didn't know me that well and I had the hardest time fittin' in with them.

The worst parts about it also involved my health issues that I suffered during my younger years before I went into Junior high and let me tell ya, all of that wasn't pleasant for me especially when I rolled into my high school years even when I found out some sad parts of my life that I never knew.



To be continued....

I am still working on chapter 4 of the book but now I have officially changed the first book's title to "The Awakening" due to series affiliation on inkitt.com as of late.  If each of you have been reading the work my co-author and I have putting in then now you know. I've been putting the comic I was working on for a while until further notice (once more) but it will eventually make it's return.

Now, in the meantime I am putting the work for chapter 4 immediately because this time I'm going to try and do something right with it. I have been trying to get stuff caught up and all that, but life in general has a way of pulling each of us back in to it's fold. 
In the next month or so I will be creating new characters for the book series as time passes on so as the saying goes.

"Time waits for no one."

Now for those who haven't read my work you can check it out on Inkitt.com just to get a glimpse of the first book in the Darkling Origins Saga book-series "The Awakening"  (Which of course is a work in progress at this time.) 
Eventually I will get back to creating my art so until then keep it real and stay frosty.
