SOMEONE on this journal is done with artist's block and I can only owe that to the great time I had at Otakon. It was was a blast, but really it was because of all the awesome people. I mean me and :iconrikyo: made some great headway for studio:devpaintedblade: just being there with something to sell, and I got reunited with my con-fams consisting of :icontheceoofdeath: and Kedrin, along with my new bros Mike Ha and Aaron Greenspan. Too many good times with those few alone. So when they get dA accounts I say we bomb them with comments :D.

just saw the news so i'm passing it on to you. i was casually glancing through my message center and i was all "Oh, SDL journals...PFFFFFFFT" *gatorade spittle* but i read on. see, i had a smashing SDL matchup against :devshadoboxxer: just recently. and after a LONG period of johnson-induced extensions and scheming, our man Shado came out on top!

A lot of things have changed for johnson, and i've tried to face them with my head held up and my shoulders squared, but i did falter, and consequently fell into introspection. because of that, Team Hachiman has been missing an eager strategist, dueler and operator, and Nigel and Vera have, as of yet, had no one to tell their story properly.
