The chibi maker popularity continues to astound me, I can't believe how many kind comments I've received from people and how much fun everyone is having. I can't go far on the internet without bumping into someone using it as an avatar, icon, or just posting up a gallery full of chibis made with it. It's exciting, humbling, and a bit scary!

I'll start from the top, and shout my immense thanks for my first ever Daily Deviation =D I never expected in the 1 week that the Chibi Maker was up that it would gain so much love and interest from the DA community. So my special thanks, it has motivated me to keep on Flash'un! (The Adobe kind, not the pants kind)

Secondly to :devemostarshine: whom I don't think I've met, thank you so much for the subscription!

Last but not least, the Chibi Maker has it's first update.

Truth be told I haven't been on DA for very long stints if at all, and I am sure this is showing in my art. It's not that I'm not drawing very much these days, I am drawing every few days.

Hope everyone is doing well and the year is treating you good. Sorry I haven't been around to read comments and reply to what I can, I actually haven't had internet for nearly a month. It was pure torture! There is a reason for that though; Kritter and I moved into our own house! It's been pretty amazing, and it feels like something that we always never thought would happen.

Hope everyone had a good Easter and such, for once I was able to get away and have a short holiday so it was great to take advantage of having a long weekend!

Can't say too much has happened for a while, nothing exciting anyway. A fair few awesome events coming up in the next couple of months though, including AvCon, the Toy Fair (where we hope to increase our retro console collection) and maybe even a huge LAN we're thinking about trying for the first time.

First off pertaining to the title of my journal; It's finally hit December and I'm getting in the festive mood. I have a bit of time this month and I'd like to do a Secret Santa on DA =D So I know how they work, but, can anyone kindly tell me a group/page/person who is organizing one that is still available to join? Preferably a "Sonicy" one because I do love to draw other people's characters, but don't mind if it's an open one for all sorts of styles. I'd appreciate it!

Thought I'd just say that the Anime Face Maker 2 is going really well, I'm close to getting excited about finishing it! Should be all polished off in the next couple of weeks and then I can upload onto DA. At the moment the hardest thing with it is telling myself to STOP. I'm getting carried away and having about 10 new ideas per day of things to add, but I really have to hold back and I've decided to just get it working as is and deal with more content in a future update.
