Arrow to the Knee

[epik_noodles]

Obviously everyone has noticed that I haven't updated for months.
Well, from the title... I'm not injured! Anyone ever heard the term "arrow to the knee?" It's an overused quote, but it's a metaphor, no real arrows are involved. It is taken from the quote: "I used to be an adventurer like you, but then I took an arrow to the knee."(it's from Skyrim, I don't play it though) It means you formally did something that you enjoyed, but then something happened where you suddenly had to stop.

Yeah, I had to stop drawing temporarily. I didn't really notify anyone, sorry about that.
Reason for halting the comics is that the Chicago Anime convention is next month and I'm not done with my cosplay. The construction of my cosplay has higher priority than my comics. I have been working on my cosplay for the past few weeks and I've been playing "Persona 4" to clear my head.

Below is a drawing of some of the reasons I haven't had time to draw:

And there you have it.
My time hasn't been exactly well managed... notice the metaphorical arrow in my knee.
HOWEVER... I will be putting up a brand new comic around the time of the convention which is April 27 - 29.
Okay! Back to work on my cosplay!

Hahaha, what a cute comic! ^_^ Even without it being AAA-related, I enjoyed! =P

But honestly, this is just for fun anyway and your personal life is more important, so keep it that way. ^_~ Hoping you have a fun time at the convention though! And I'd certainly love to talk with you again when you have time to be online! Take care!! We'll patiently await your return! ^_^/

Yeah, it's hard to balance a lot of things at once.
I only wish I had more time to spend on here.

Yes! I will try to take lots of pictures at the convention to show everyone when I get back.

There are no obligations to the internet, hon. Have fun at the convention!

Yup, life is the biggest priority of all... although my personal trainer seems to disagree.

"I used to be an adventurer like you, but then I took an arrow to the knee."

I've heard that!!!!! (>0<)/ I don't play Skyrim, but when I heard it from someone else at work not too long ago, I couldn't stop laughing. xDD I'm glad it was not a real arrow to the knee...I know that's probably not very fun!

Anyway, more importantly, take your time with things! There's no rush from our end, though I am curious about your cosplay! I can't do that sort of thing well at all, so I admire those who can! Wishing you lots of luck, too!

And ya know, this recent cartoon/comic is quite sweet! (^-^)v

My friends always used that quote and I've never understood it until recently. An excellent metaphor/reference.

My cosplay will be awesome! I have been working on it for two years!

I also showed this picture to my personal trainer, he loved it. He asked if I gave his character a name, I said no cuz its a one time thing, then he whined about it, now he's a regular OC in AAAttackers (I might make him Hidaka's trainer). My negotiation skills suck.
