Hello everyone, it's been a while. I figured this needed to be done since I've been getting a lot of private questions lately. I suggest reading this because it's become a pain to have to reply to the same message from so many people. As such, I will no longer be answering any messages regarding anything covered here (most of these are copied directly from messages that people have asked me and are my replies without any of their information). I'm still willing to answer any other questions and I don't want to seem hostile - it's just that I don't want to waste time with these questions anymore since there are so many of you that ask them :P

Question #1: "I like your art. Join my fan project and make it for me."
Answer: I'm sorry, I've completely exited the spriting scene all together for the moment to focus on my writing. Good luck though, the project seems interesting!

Question #2: Are you still making pixel art? Why not?
Answer: Not at the moment, no. Life is too hectic with college, a novel career, and a baby on the way (yay, Abbie's pregnant!). Since I'm not a part of a project and no longer enjoy it, I haven't made anything since.

Question #3: Can you resize your tilesets to 32 by 32 pixels.
Answer: Please learn to read the comments first. I should prolly just put this in the description, but the reason that I don't have it up here on DeviantArt is because the file is too big. ANYWAYS, here is the file ready to be inserted into RMXP:

Also, here is the interior tileset:

AAAAND the cave set if you are interested:

Question #4: What programs did you use?
Answer: I used RPG Maker XP for all of my later maps but for a long time I used paint exclusively for everything, including my maps. The key to resizing them is using Photoshop which is how I also make my sets transparent.

Question #5: Can I use your stuff?
Answer: Sure, if it says its public in the description and not private. But seriously, learning to make your own stuff helps a lot even though it takes time. But you can't cut corners with art, unfortunately.

Question #6: Commissions?
Answer: No. Please learn to read a little bit more.

Question #7: My project isn't Pokemon. Are you interested now?
Answer: I'm not interested in making any art for games anymore and I won't be able to make anything in an orderly fashion with how chaotic life is at the moment. I just found out that I'm having a baby, please do not expect me to balance anymore than I already am.

So yeah... I'm going to retain a semi-active state on Deviant Art here and I'm willing to answer any other questions anyone else has on spriting/mapping/game development whenever I'm on.

Crazy

3 min read
Sorry that its been so long guys since I last posted an update. Life has been crazy.

First thing first is Citrine. Zach, Trent, and I have been sitting down and having meetings on a weekly basis about the project and we have decided to postpone it for a little bit. We want to make it as good as we possibly can, so we have decided that for now we first need to plan everything out. Zach and I have been doing some drawing and have a few Pokemon concepts in our heads about a bunch of new fakemon (I might post some eventually). Trent has been cranking out PBS documents for a lot of new Pokemon lately and its going pretty good. I've also returned to mapping yet again (still haven't really gotten into spriting yet). As soon as I can find a program that actually works, I'll post my maps for all of you to see. I'm pretty proud of them :dummy:. Oh, and I will hopefully have a new public tileset of haunted mansion tiles to submit sometime soon.

In other news, I'm going to be an author soon. I'm almost half way done with my book now and its been well received in my circle and by my editor. I'm hoping to publish it by the end of the year. From there, I really want to learn how to draw manga and make my own manga. I'm basing my story off of the concept of Japanese Light Novels, so I will have quite a bit to go off of. So far, so good!

How are all you guys doing?

Things have been going not so good lately again. My personal life is kind of turning into a rollercoaster with some serious drops in it.

Well, I applied for the University of Minnesota this week. I'm not too worried about getting in at all. What I am worrying about is the quantity of my free time and how I'm going to be filling it.

During the school year this year, I'll be learning video game design at a community college at like 7:30, so no more morning art time. Then I'll be leaving the school at 12:40 to go to the University of Minnesota for my internship where I'm learning Molecular Physics and Mass Spectrometry (look it up) in the Center of Drug Design. Then I'll have to work my part time job because my parents can't afford to pay 60$ a month for the expensive dog food my beloved pooches are on and I need the extra cash for gas.

That is the equivalent of zero freetime. Though there will be one project that I've started with some friends that was around even before Citrine. :iconjetstream789: and my friend Steven will be assisting me in writing a series of stories based on a game we made up when we were younger. The series will be called "Akashi Reborn" and I'll be posting it here regardless if no one will read it. However, it would be awesome if you would read it.

That's all for now. Still haven't sprited a single sprite this summer.

News Update

4 min read
Hey guys, its been a while. I've been so busy lately that I haven't had time to do any spriting and everything I've done on deviantart here for a while has been off of my Kindle.

Well, I bring good news. My new computer parts will be arriving tomorrow and then all I'll have to do is build it! I've been working at the University of Minnesota (more or less volunteering, if you will) where I'm receiving training on various computer things (i.e computer repair, setting up servers, building computers) and tomorrow I'm building my first computer. Over the years I've had one good computer at my dad's house and a shit computer (with 1 ram of memory, a 150gb hardrive, and a lot of viruses from my family members >.<), so I've only been able to make sprites at my dad's house. Well tomorrow, my brand new computer that is way better than my dad's computer will be arriving. I have photoshop and all that good stuff ready to go, and I'll have a much bigger hardrive (my good computer has 250gb and my new one already has 1.5tb hardrive. I'll also be checking to see if my 150gb hardrive is a SATA hardrive, and if it is, I'll be hooking that one up too once I format it.) so I'll be able to a lot more spriting AND I can finally watch youtube videos >.<

In other news, I have finally decided how I'm going to be handling Citrine and how I will work on it. It's going to be a free-learn project that I'll work on when I have time. I'll keep all my characters (not selling them, ever) and will continue to work on whatever I feel like. I'm not going to be focusing on programming yet, though I'm definitely going to teach myself how to do it now that I can watch videos on it. To make things very clear, unless you are a good friend of mine, I have no ambition to start working on anyone else's projects. I'm still going to be compressed on time (I'm pretty much working two jobs right now. One I work 24 hours a week, the other I work 15-20 hours a week), so I honestly don't want another project on my hands. So please, and I know I've said this before, don't ask me. It's just annoying.

Oh and before I forget, I'm done making public tilesets. I don't see the point in them anymore since most people who do use my tilesets decide that I didn't do enough on them to get credit for assembling and editing them, which is awesome. So if you want to use my newer tilesets (which I have actually slowly been updating on my computer), ask first and you'll have to promise to give me proper credit. Sounds good? Great.

さよならと、お読みいただき、ありがとうございました
