Hey guys!!!

Okay, so.... i wanted to start with an expression of everlasting gratitude for all the support i get from all of you which i don't deserve ;_; especially for that bitchery in the last journal!! I was hoping angst and moodswings would pass once i was in my 20s, but i was wrong lol! Due to insane moodswings and shit, i have a hard time committing to the things that actually matter in my life ;_; like IDF... but mostly because i have constant waves of anxiety about sustaining myself, which is not easy to do in the program that i am in.

Anywho, it's SUMMER!!! Finally no bullshit school assignments to give me an excuse for not doing anything, so i've been working really hard and... i actually managed to get myself to a point where i don't NEED to work like a dog anymore, financially. I mean, it's still pennies, but i have the bare minimum! But i still need to save a bit more money to buy myself at least a couple of months of not worrying about deadlines and other shit, so that i can FOCUS on IDF! And i am almost there 8D

I recently printed a collection of drawings, and i suppose it's technically my first artbook! Did this basically in order to fund a fraction of my life so that i can focus on the comic 8)

Even though i'm not begging on the corner of the street here lol, i still feel like a dick about posting this, but... if you guys might be interested in purchasing this nice book, that would help me out a LOT!

I've opened a storenvy right here: cosmicspectrum.storenvy.com/

Please take a look! xD The sketchbook contains a LOT of drawings, and a big chunk of them i haven't posted anywhere online 8D it also has some life-drawings near the end.  (and needless to say, it's got some IDF stuff, as well as single displacement, lots of 8D )

IDF volume 1 is also in the store, if anyone's interested in owning a hard copy!! <3



You guys' support is like... the biggest source of encouragement in my life, cause honest to god NO ONE else really gives a fuck if you know what i mean. Which i'm sure is the same for every artist, but.. i do feel rather lonely sometimes... i just feel like you guys are some of the most genuine supporters i have because you actually possess some sort of (even if very little) emotional investment in my characters xD which is the best feeling in the universe.

Like i said before, i already started on volume two! I just feel so much pressure to make it better that it's a little hard to organize lol, but i am definitely ALMOST there. I feel like i'm in a really decent place right now <3


Thanks for sticking with me guys.... TT_TT *endless tears of joy and pain*

Hey everyoneee!!!! omfg i hope there's still people here... i know i've been a total bastard, and after my last journal entery's failure to deliver, i prolly lost all my credibility here.

BUT I HAVE GOOD NEEEWSS, EVERYONEE!!

I started volume 2 of IDF. I've had storyboards for a while now, but now i sketched out the first 5 pages, and am in the middle of inking the first one of that batch. There's gonna be lotsa flashbackss hehehe!!

Anyway. I am mostly here though, to ask for help!! ;O;

Okay here's the sob story: this year i fully moved out on my own and have to pay my rent and food stuff, and go to college full time (animation program), which is hellishly busy, and long story short i basically have to put all my remaining effort into commissions so i can literally just .... survive. I can't even buy myself anything omg... ;__; ITS SO DEPRESSING, GUYS.

But anyway, i got an email from this comic hosting website, they told me they have some sort of program from feb-march, and based on the amount of pageviews your comic gets, you get money!! Which sounds like a fantastic idea, xept without some sort of help, i will literally not even make it to the lowest pagecount lol and prolly won't get a penny.


While this is happening, i will work super hard on those 5 pages i have FINALLY started working on.


Can you guys pleeease help me out and go to this link tapastic.com/series/257 ? I need as many pageviews as possible, i at least want to get 100 bucks out of this lol which is the minimum amount and is also 10,000 pageviews which sound impossible OTL;;;

This is basically a chance for me to hopefully make some money that would help me free up time to work on IDF ;_;

My darlings... ;___; *sheds tear*
If there's still anyone here lol... omg. I'm just gonna write about what happened to my life in the last several months!!

First off, regrettably, this account has been dead for a while now. Which really breaks my heart OTL;; Agin, like always, i got side tracked with all the school related bullshit of trying not to fail, and juggling other crap like commissions and work deadlines on the side. Another huge setback was dealing with the whole printing/mailing out process! I learned a lottt from this whole thing, and the next volume will be handled with much more care than this one! The biggest mistake i made was the whole mess of preorders on this account and on the other account going at the same time as kickstarter. Huge nono, because things got really confusing, and the whole process prolonged beyond all expectations... As a result, everyone who ordered from deviantart had to wait for a really long time! x_x it kills me that i pulled such an asshole on you guys ;__;
I really regret opening preorders before i had everything 100% sorted out. I feel like i failed you guys completely T_T
But!! I'm not here to whine.
I want to thank everyone, from the friggin bottom of my heart, for ordering my shitty book and supporting me so much on this!! The experience of having a solid print copy of this crap i started when i was like 16 has been incredible. I'm so grateful for all the support and good response, and i'm soo happy that people are actually enjoying their copies of the book!!!
I CANNOT THANK YOU GUYS ENOUGH AKJSGDLAKS TTATT <3 <3 endless loveeeeee lksdhlakdshlas

Also, i am no longer a miserable asshole that i always was... literally, always lol. That's thanks to me switching from ocad to sheridan. I just finished my first year in the animation program there, and i couldn't be happier with my choice to go there!!! Of course, there are good things and bad things about everything, but man... i feel like i'm FINALLY at a place where i don't have to be constantly ashamed of the shit i draw (well... it's still embarrassing lol but not in the same way as it used to be hahaha), and i can actually draw the things i enjoy for school-related assignments! It's so liberating... i can't even begin to explain the feeling. At this point, the only thing holding me back is my own goddamn laziness and the fact that i can't get off my ass and be productive. But i am slowly pulling myself out of that too, and life is nowhere near as depressing as it used to be. The shit that's hanging over me now has simple solutions that are clear to me, and i can deal with it. Everything is falling into place i think.... the only thing that's bothering me is that when shit's been good, it feels like everything going to collapse any second now. LOL. i sure hope it doesn't ;_;

Anywho! I am finally freeeee (finished all the commissions and shit lol YESS) to concentrate on idf!! I've had the script for the next chapter for a while now, and i've been thinking about it nonstop x_x i've just been reluctant to start, cause it's a new volume and i don't want it to be an all-over-the-place fuckup like the last one. I want to have more consistency and clarity. I cannot wait to reveal more of the crew's past to you guys, and i will try my best to make it as good as i can ;o;

Been having a bit of an artblock lately, cause lately i've been seeing all the shortcomings of my art =| shit's pretty awful in a lot of ways, but i will work towards improving. I never really cared about improvement before, mostly because i was so absorbed with the content that i didn't reaaaally linger on the artwork itself. Now i want to concentrate on both.

I was wondering if you guys would want to see more IDF related sketches and scraps?? i tend to produce quite a bit of those here and there 8) i was thinking i could start a tumblr for that stuff or something. Let me know!!

IM SO EXCITED GUYSSS. I WILL BE BACK SOOON WITH UPDATES!!
I LOVE YOU ALL DEARLY ;____; i'm so goddamn lucky to have such support ;_;

HEY GUYS!!!
it's finally time for preorders 8)
They will last ONE MONTH!

Why should you buy a hard copy of the comic if you can read it online?
BECAUSE THIS BOOK IS BADASSSS and you need it in your hands. NOW. Jk. But really, it's a lot more convenient to own a hard copy so you can get into the story without distractions and enable yourself to flip through the book without the hassle of clicking and searching. This book will also have TONS of extra stuff that will NOT be released online!! And it WILL look very nice on your shelf 8) And of course......
Here's the other deal: i'm a poor college student who barely has enough money to survive, and as a result i have no time for any personal projects. IDF is VERY dear to me and i will complete it no matter what! I always try to find time and put as much effort into it as i can, without getting paid a penny. If you guys buy the book and maybe even some of the extra stuff, i will make a little extra cash for rent and food and will have more time to draw more pages! I will also be greatly motivated. So if you guys support this project, please help out! <3


The book will have about 140 pages in total, 110 of them will be the comic + 30ish pages of extra material! Everything from character profiles, illustrations, town/school maps, and more! The book will be perfect bound, standard manga size.
