Yep, It is me lol. 

So, it's obvious I haven't done a ton of my own personal art in awhile because, and this will sound cheesy...
I've been living my dream guys, and that's been making comics. 
When I started JTH back in like 2009-2010, July's story was the reason I pursued art. She is, although a character, one the best friends I've ever had. She gave me confidence I never had back then. OF course I've never forgotten about her. (Foreshadow lol) 

Basically, I haven't been at this account because I've been maintaining the 4UComics page, for Daemons Venatus, which is the comic series that is making my dream come true. 
I've been doing art constantly, although it isn't commissions or fanart anymore, I'm content with doing it. I'm focusing on the original stories I wanna create and tell, and DV is what is going to get me there. It's taking time, but it's getting there. And honestly, if DV gets far, which I will definitely see to it, you guys might even see July and JTH return. (In an original way).

So, no this isn't me saying I'm deleting this account, hell no, lol.
I'm officially announcing, i guess, that I'll be uploading all of DV here, because it's what I've been doing this whole time. 4UComics will still be run accordingly, but I will also post the pages here, since I do most of the art for it anyways, I feel like you guys should see it, and fall in love with it the same way I have. 

So anyways, hopefully you guys are cool with that, and look forward to the uploading of DV next week.
God my neck is gonna kill me...

Anyways, Let me know what you guys think, and I'll see you guys later >:3c

PS: If links take you to the 4UComics page, that was intentional lol

Follow us on: 

To be honest, I feel like I've been in some kind of slump. I'm cool with sketching and colouring traditionally but even then I've been holding on to that stuff and haven't been in the mood to post. I just... haven't been into things lately. I REALLLY want to work hard on the comic, and feel guilty that I haven't gotten as much as I want done on it. And even when it comes to doing art by itself... I've just been finding myself with a lack of motivation. 

I know I shouldn't feel guilty for not working on art, School and work does suck the life or the fun out of it and I'm not the only one who experiences this, but I just wanted to let people know I'm fine, and I'm sorry for a lot of radio silence. 

I feel like once I'm done school and have more free time, I'll be out of it. I'm okay with multitasking but I also hate focusing on more then one hing. Even two things. 
Work would be fine to handle once out of school because then I can focus on stuff I want to do like the comic and pushing that professionally (Which is possible), while also working the job I have now. But adding school into the mix... school gets a little annoying because not only do you have to attend classes for a block of time, you have to do homework for them as well. 

I don't know. I've noticed I haven't done much, but I'll pick up again eventually. I just don't like my brain being all over the place. I'm sure a lot of you get that as well.

Thank you for being patient with me, and I'll try to post something soon.

Sooooo.... how should I begin this.
One. Logic boards are bitches. 

It was never the hard drive in my computer that was the problem (which I still got replaced, mind you), nor was it Ram. My logic board was fried.

(Copying from 4U)
What is a logic board you ask? The logic board in short is basically the "brain" of a Macbook, and one of the Apple specialists mentioned that there's a pin that connects to the logic board, and if that gets bent or damaged it can fry the entire logic board, which, is what happened. Most likely. I'm not sure how it happened, but it did.

Ether way, it's dealt with after going to Apple 4 days in a roll and going to MemoryExpress twice, and after leaving a "hole in the wallet" , but nonetheless, I'm back with all my backed-up stuff and I'm ready to roll! 
But since this was quite the pricey trip, I'm gonna start money commissions (which were already up but this time I'll have a better price list made.) So any support you guys could give me would be great!

Other than this wild ride to a happy ending, let's talk about other things this week!
First of all: E3.... FINALLY DELIVERED YO! 
My girl Daisy is now in Smash! I'm am so excited! I remember wanting her when I first made this!
 And now my girl is in!!!!! 
You have no idea how happy I was. I legit screamed, cried and hugged myself and my brother all at the same time. And she looks beautiful! Guys MY PRINCESS IS FINALLY IN SMASH! WHAT SHE'S DESERVED SINCE MELEE! AHHHHHH. Still disappointed Krystal is just an assist... or is she?.... either way, I'm so happy! I mained Peach anyways so Daisy being an "Echo Fighter" of her doesn't bother me. AHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Second: VOLTRON SEASON6 IS COMING OUT TOMORROW AND I'M NOT READY! I feel like Klance won't happen, though a lot of short scenes being shown of Allurance are really paralleling alot of previous Klance scenes, but I'm just trying to get myself ready for the potential end of Klance. But with my glorious luck this entire week.. who knows? 

But right now in the Klance tag, it's been hectic alittle. It's kind of been made clear it can go two ways this season. Allurance or Klance. And I'm not trying to think about how I was expecting last season to be the start to Allurance ad it wasn't, it was Lotura... Cause I really don't want my hopes up. I'm still going to ship Klance, I enjoy the potential with Keith and Lance, and ultimately they are be canon in an alternate universe.

I still love Voltron as a whole so I'm gonna keep watching, plus tbh the Klance shippers need to be pushed down a few sizes. They've been pretty bad to others so. 

Either way, I'M NOT READY AND I'M SCARED AND HAPPY AND WORRIED AND UPSET ALL AT THE SAME TIME AND UUGGGHHHHHH TOMORROW I'LL PROBABLY DIE!

Third: My Elsa Coronation Cosplay is almost done finally. SO GET READY TO SEE PICTURES OF THAT EVENTUALLY. (My Nana's birthday which has a movie characters theme to it is coming up so that's why I had the motivation for this. lol.
plus with my laptop going down, I had nothing better to do.)

Other than that I don't think there's much else going on! How have you guys been this week? And please cry with me about Daisy and Voltron. OH GOD.

Make sure to check out the Comic I help work on over at 4UComics! It's amazing, seriously!

Hey guys, I feel like before I kinda disappear for a while, I thought I should mention this as I've come across two people already, which, to be fair was my mistake for assuming instead of making sure, who have done this and I hope we can fix this misunderstanding, that, I overall made. 

If you're a fan of me and my work, and would like to make a dub or just a basic video of any fancomics I make, such as my:

Miraculous Comics:
A Nathchlo Holiday pg.1
Interactions
Nathanael's Hero
Day 1: Bickering/flirting
Etc.

Voltron Comics:
Klance Amusment Park AU pt.1
Inktober Day 24 - Blind
Lance Is Alone Now? Pt.7
Etc.

And Other Miscellaneous Fancomics:
Zack's Hoodie: Part 1
Etc.

You are absolutely welcome to make videos based off these! 
However, I do ask you credit me properly, either link back to the comic Here on Deviantart or my Account ARSugarPie , my accounts on tumblr (@aarspi mainly), or somewhere else that links back to me. 
I would also ask you to include the LINK to 4UComics and/or Daemons Venatus either here or on Linewebtoon, to help support us, as that's what I want people to look for as well.

This does not give you permission to make videos of Daemons Venatus. 

This is where the misunderstanding I created came up, when anyone asks to make my "comics" into videos for Youtube, etc., I assumed they meant the fancomics I MYSELF made, such as the Voltron, Miraculous, Etc. comics. But when I found out someone who asked to make "my comics" into a video and that was Daemons Venatus, I had to ask them to take it down. 

Daemons Venatus is not MY comic series, it belongs to 4UComics, who you would ask for permission, which I'll say right now, will probably decline as we do not like the comic series being viewed on a channel we ourselves are not running. Yes I'm one of the co-founders, but I cannot give full permission. Asking me on my personal dA account should not mean I'm giving you permission to make DV into a video, as it's not my permission to give. So if you have made a video with my "permission" through this account, the permission was meant for my fancomics, not DV. So please take any DV videos down if you've made it into a video. 

And if you have any DV related questions, make sure to actually go to 4UComics to ask them, as this is my main account. Not the comic series' main account. 

Thank you for understanding!

Sooooo, if you follow me on 4UComics, well recently, my laptop has basically died completely. At least the hardrive has reached it's lifespan. Which I was told to keep an eye on last year when I had to get the battery replaced. Luckily this happened during the summer, otherwise school would've been Hellx2 and I would've been a crying mess....

Anyways, that being said, comic posting has been postponed, ugh, but I've ordered a new hardrive and hope to get my laptop's old one replaced soon. My alptop is still in good condition, besides being dirty, so luckily I won't need to buy a completely new laptop. Which believe me, I'd rather spend 50$ than close to 2000$ for a brand new laptop that, doesn't have a cd insert, and usb/hdmi ports. (I hear some don't have them anymore.)

So yeah, posting will be slow... or.. slower than usual, except for maybe traditional things, possibly? Idk, but anyways, just wanted to let you guys know I'll be pretty inactive (I'm on my bro's laptop right now) And I'll try to get back into the swing of things as soon as possible!
