I'm back! I'm also leaving! That should be enough explanation, farewell ♫



Alright, you guys are obviously going to get a better explanation than that as well as a quick update. So yeeeah, I haven't been on DA in quite a few months thanks to the fantastic timing of the hand-in dates of college assignments as well as an 'educational' trip all the way to South Africa! Also that was fantastic, unless you count that guy that rested my torch on an electric fence. Bloody thing blinks all of the time now. The torch, not the guy. Obviously, he does blink because he's human but for a torch this isn't really a suitable behaviour.

Now, to why I'm leaving this account. Lately I've been getting inspired again, jotting down ideas, quizzing people on what they'd think would pay rent in a haunted mansion etc etc; but not for Minecraft. It comes to the point that coming up with ideas for an existing game is extremely limiting, because you're having to try and keep to the same theme of the game and have to build it on an already existing world. That, and in all honesty I have not played any Minecraft... well quite a while, let's leave it at that ; so it feels odd that I'm suggesting new mechanics for a game I don't really play anymore. I want to do new stuff, move on, watch cat vid... I mean; and get some stuff done now that I'm finishing my course and finding a job. Well, contemplating a job.

So before ending this journal and answering messages so then my leaving doesn't count as rude, I'd just like to thank many people including those that are probably not reading this. First off, thanks to all 232 of my watchers of all breeds; the commentators, the nonsense spewers (highly entertaining, if I may add), the silent ones, the collectors that enjoy favouriting (a brand new term!), the llama badge farmers that shared their finest specimens with me; as well as the people that aided towards 43,761 page-views of my account, those that had the patience for my many abandoned projects and the ones that favourited (also a new term) my work 5,627 times!

Now, the personal touch! First, I probably have to point to for the Minecraft modelling as he's the one that introduced me to Techne (go check him out too, he's got some good artwork). Secondly there's , who was a fantastic person to have a conversation full of hilarity with and helps warn people of noted thieves and... those from the odd corners of the internet. Similar to , check out his stuff. Next there's also and , who both seem oddly alike with how kind and welcoming they can be towards people. Dear deities, are they the same person?!? Pushing aside conspiracies, the former's working on an excellent comic series as well as once doing surprise fanart of some old fakemon of mine (yes, I drew. Odd, isn't it. Especially when you consider the bulk of my gallery) and the latter being a fakemon artist with a multitude of puns and references for titles and several interesting project ideas that are worth keeping an eye out for. Again, check them both out if you want to

To the watchers that are here for Minecraft, which is most of you (I think...), there's also some people I need to mention that you might enjoy! First off, there's the infamous who creates many a fine picture through modelling, and has even created several requests from me that included yetis, topaz, baboons and melon headed snowmen (seriously though, when are you doing those again? That was genius) as well as helping me with a few of the textures for the earliest of my blocks! Then there's others that come up with ideas such as the limitless who used both Techne and the art known as drawing to show off his mobs, as well as who for some reason sadly left us but left behind some fantastic models for us to remember and who has successfully created several mythological beings and obviously read a bit of Terry Pratchett (therefore must be right about everything). Moving on, I present to you two people that have been giving the most encouragement in the past year and carry on saying that I inspired them, and ettanKarmen7:. With the former ending up as a bit of modelling competition (his own words, twisted slightly) who ended up getting increasingly better than I ever did, and the other one starting a unique project and then moving onto improving his pencil-work instead (good call, look at what happened to me x3). If you hadn't guessed, check out their work too!

Sorry if I've missed anyone out though, it's likely with a 4 month break and a memory being tested sourly by work, so just type in the comments "And me!". We'll pretend I meant to turn this into a motivational movie about teamwork!

P.S. By the way, I'm not leaving DA guys! I've simply moved over to my brand new(ish) back up account! It can be found here, and might have good stuff. I dunno, it's stuff done by me so who knows? Find out for yourself over here at this link! ----> Fantastical Link and Such

Hello there everyone, it's me again. That's right, I haven't died through the millions of manners that there are out there. Or been teleported to an alternate dimension where Earth has no oceans on it. Or kidnapped by a hitchhiker with a pair of pliers instead of a hand. Or been working at college and then unwinding with games afterwards. Actually, the last suggestion might be slightly true. Slightly. Anyways, some time has opened up for me and so I'm going to be answering a horde of messages. However, I'm not uploading anything at the moment as I truly don't have enough time to focus on personal projects.

I've also decided to set up a 'backup' account recently, because all of that hot air I've spewed over these journals about doing my own things and not just suggesting ideas for an already existing game really needs to be carried out, and for some reason I feel like I need a new account for it. Once I have time to get something down onto paper then I'll send a link to the account as well as completely abandon this one. Until then, and my inevitable answering of my entire 'mailbox' tomorrow, have a good pseudonight

Hello there! It's been a while, hasn't it?

Firstly I'm sorry that haven't been here, and haven't been answering messages, but due to college starting up again and firing assignments at me I haven't been able to find the time to even come onto DA. So for the next week or so, whenever I have time I'll be trying to answer the 700+ messages that I have at the moment. However, this doesn't mean I'll be able to post anything at the moment (maybe in a few months, but certainly not right now).


Now then, onto the final subject to talk about! As mentioned in the last paragraph I've had a few ideas buzzing around my subconscious. A few of them have been Minecraft related ones, primarily one to do with dragons and their hoards (inspired by this fantastic collection here, which you should check out). However I've also had other half baked ideas, that have nothing to do with Minecraft! Which makes a nice change of pace for me, I won't lie. One is essentially criticizing movies that originated from books which would most likely be very fun as I find great enjoyment out of complaining about things. If I did do this then I'd be writing them down into a possibly entertaining review. There's a few other ideas as well, but I haven't thought them out as well so for now I'll just keep them to myself.

Hello there purveyors of the internet! Due to a fortnight's worth of housework, chickens, parasites, boiling showers, trains, London, more trains, airport queues, Ryanair, Germany, unfortunately more Ryanair, another bout of trains and a bit of sanding, I haven't really been able post anything up or even answer messages for a while. And due to another fortnight that entails more sanding, a car trip and Wales, there's a very good chance that I won't be getting too much free time for modelling and the likes of such.

Anyways, I just thought you should all know that. Want to know what's happened to me in greater detail? Well if you wish to, I'll be busy answering messages and not going into full detail about my life on the internet
