randomly saw a reblog of that recent anon-ask and holy crap, you're Reich aren't you. Man I loved your stuff! And your greevus XD It's cool to see you on tumblr! I always loved the motion in your gestures and your use of colour. Your grievous is super appealing too. Hope bringing that up isn't too painful! I found the silly comics inspiring back in the day, I'm sure lots of people did. I'm just really happy to rediscover you here :D keep being awesome!

BAWW thank you!!  

Yep it’s me lol

After Star Wars I got into Silent Hill for a while and then a lot of stuff happened and I’ve been kicking around in World of Warcraft forrr.. 8-9 years?   

I stopped drawing for like 5yrs in there so it’s kinda tough to look back at my old Star Wars stuff and see how little my art has grown lol, but it’s OK.  Important thing is I’m back to drawing.

It’s strange to think how many people remember me from back then, even more strange to hear my art inspired others lol.  I still get messages about it once in a while, even people I’ve talked to for months suddenly realizing i’m that person who did those old Grievous comics.  I was a weeeird kid lol but I had a good time, and as embarrassing as my old stuff is, I’m glad it’s still there. 

Thank you for remembering me!

A gift for @lackofa because she had said 2015 was a rough year, and I've been meaning to do fanart of her characters for some time now! This is the character: fav.me/d4zv1a2 May this year be brighter!

Yoooo that preview of the coyote(?) you're working on looks great so far. Those are some crazy textures, I love it! Is it photoshop that you work in, or SAI maybe? Hope you don't mind my asking (and you don't need to answer! no pressure at all here), I'm just still trying to learn rendering techniques, myself. Your stuff is inspirational as always. And it's nice to see you still regularly putting stuff out there despite what you're going through. I hope things get better for you soon.

Thank you!! It’s a young wolf. I work in Photoshop CS4! I’ve tried other programs, but that’s the one I’ve stuck with the longest. I used to do a lot more art, and I’m sad about my loss in energy, but it’s better this way ‘cause it’s curtailed the workaholic tendency in me. No matter how many stupid reasons my brain cooks up for me to want to do myself in, I really don’t wanna die young; especially not from something I can control to an extent, like stress from overworking lmao

lackofa replied to your post:Chappie

Oh no I still need to see that movie! I hope it’s still in theatres next weekend. How did you find it? Also question pertaining to gore/body nastiness cuz I’ve noticed a trend with this director’s movies: … Was there much of that? Haha

There was a guy getting ripped in half and there's shurikens thrown at a dude, but the amount of body horror is pretty much just blood beyond that. Honestly, you'll might feel more ill over the robot getting beat up (cuz he's just too damn adorable and deserves none of it)

"Please stay." ALLEN AND KAEL. AND DAMN IT. PLEASE DON'T BE BITTERSWEET.

(No bittersweet, she says, as she hands me literally the most tragic-potential line with the most tormented couple I’ve got. Sigh)Allen groaned as sunlight had the audacity to invade his morning. When pressing his face into the pillow and covering his eyes with his arm didn’t work, he gave up and moved the blankets back to wiggle towards the edge of the bed.A heavy arm fell over his waist before he could get his legs off the bed, and he managed to twist to see the one lying behind him. “Where y’goin’?” Kael only had one eye open, but he was using it to give Allen a side-eye to go with the pouting frown he wore.Allen smiled, rolling back to face his boyfriend. “The kitchen. Am I allowed?”"Nope." There wasn’t even a second’s hesitation as Kael pulled him closer like some oversized teddybear. "Yer stuck."Allen squirmed (pointlessly). He really didn’t know if Kael was hungover or straight-up still drunk. “I don’t get a say in this?”"Y’never get a say, blondie." Kael pressed himself into Allen’s chest, giving the blonde’s collarbone a kiss. "S’way too early for your opinions."Allen laughed, brushed his hand over Kael’s hair. “You know, one of these mornings you could just say ‘Please stay’ and I’d listen.”Kael scoffed, mostly muffled into Allen’s skin. “Yer still dreamin’ if you think I’m askin’ nicely at 7 a.m.”

so apparently the secret for me to be active here and actually reblog things and look at new blogs is for lackofa to do a thing, and then i'll spend hours going through the notes on the thing and visiting blogs with funny URLs or who add comments to the thing

bonus points if they reblog the thing with the other thing that i added to the thing

this is me blogging at like 1 in the morning

be afraid

Oh haha, right on. It is pretty difficult to interpret tone over the internet sometimes, yeah. Thanks for the clarification! And I really dig the hairstyle of your 'taur btw.

Haha no worries, I totally get it. Text-based communication can be tricky!

Thank you, haha. It's totally inspired by one of the female troll hairstyles in World of Waracraft! I really should draw that character again, she's fun :3
