VR Concept Artist by day, exhausted screaming human being learning to make comics by night. But it's what I love, so no complaints. Filipino immigrant from Japan just trying to shove as much Southeast Asian flavor into every narrative I create.

Hey Everyone! It's been way too long...

Sorry for my silence and lack of updates here. I was held back by the holidays and health issues. I've been wanting to get back to Desendi, but after some consideration, I'm gonna have to change my approach for the next couple of months. I intend to keep working on it, but not with a set update schedule.

Planning my wedding these past few weeks, I've come to the conclusion that I have to focus on a couple other important things over Desendi. As someone who needs a creative outlet in life, this was a hard decision to come to, but I care so much about Desendi that trying to force it seems detrimental to both the comic and to myself.

I'll still be working on the comic when I have time and energy during these next couple of crazy months, but instead of a weekly schedule, I'll be posting up pages as they're completed. I'll still aim to post the Wednesday following each page's completion, for some consistency here! But the updates will be pretty sporadic up until April, after my wedding. Hopefully then I'll be energized to return to some regularity! We'll see then.

Thanks for being so understanding. Desendi is really important to me, sometimes life just gets in the way!

If you have any questions about this at all, please feel free to ask in a comment. I'll see you all at some point!

Sorry for lack of updates the past couple weeks. I've been holed up sick since the 20th, basically, and it's been a real ordeal. The next page is getting there, and every other page after that has already been sketched, so it's not like it's not been touched! It's just been touched very slowly.

I'm sorry that I've been so sickness prone lately. It's something that I've been looking into. But thanks for sticking around while I work through it!

Hi guys! Might be a delay of a day or for page 4, depending on a couple things. It's about 65% done, and planning to get a chunk done tonight, but good chance I won't get it ready for upload by it's usual Wednesday morning update.

But it's a-comin!

Hey guys, huge long time no see.

Sorry for my disappearance these past few months... it's actually been a really really rough time for me, just a lot of turmoil in my professional life that made doing anything really difficult. Lucky for me, that's going to see a change soon. Which I hope will turn a lot of things around.

That being said, I'm here to give a heads up that Desendi Chapter 3 will start to be posted in a few weeks! I'm aiming for October 16th, I'll put out an even more formal announcement later.

In the meanwhile, have some photos from the layout book I made. It's basically just much bigger thumbnails, drawn into a little ashcan so that i can get a pretty good idea of the spreads and the flow of everything. All of Chapter 3 is in this puppy, and I've already started transferring the sketches to digital so I can make them pages.

Really excited, everybody. Thanks for being so patient with me. See you guys soon!

Sorry for my absence lately guys. Things have been really crazy around here, and I hit a really bad spate of burnout and depression. I actually haven't really drawn anything for the past couple of weeks outside of my day job, and it isn't until just about now that I'm getting out of it.

I'm disappointed that I let this happen, but I'm going to try to get back on this old hoss. The final hiatus comic is 3 pages long, and if I don't get all of that up this week, I'll at least get one of the pages up.

Chapter 3 is quite far into planning already, and I'll try to get that started very soon! I'm excited for it. But this week is going to be busy thanks to deadlines and prepping for a week long trip that I'll be taking just to get my head back in the game. So it won't be for a little bit!

But in any case, those of you still around who have been very patient with me, know that I really appreciate it. Thanks muchly, and I hope you'll keep reading when I start posting again. :)

Good luck! Remember that self-care is extremely important! Comics are extremely taxing, so make sure to put some time aside for yourself <3

Hey guys! Might post the next hiatus comic later tonight or tomorrow. Busy bee over here (Big Deadline At Work As Always), but it's ~75% done. It's a two-pager again, so the second page just needs to be cleaned up. Unless y'all are down to get one page today.

See you then and again, thanks for reading!

Hey guys, Update coming later tonight (I'm kinda ticked that I couldn't get the final chapter page up on "time" today, but it has been a dooooozy this past couple weeks -- why is April such a clusterfuck every year)! It'll be a few hours bc I can't touch it until after work, but it'll be up today or I'll eat my hat.

See y'all soon, and thanks so much for sticking w/ the comic so far! I'm so excited to hit this milestone.

Excited to put it up though! See you soon!

Sorry for lack of update yesterday, guys. I've been pretty sick and we're hitting an upcoming deadline for our game at work, so I've been spending a lot of my art energy on that.

Going to try and get things up next week! I feel disappointed by this, since I've been pretty good w/ weekly updates this month, but gotta roll with the punches, especially since pages take some time to produce (curse my decision to make full color w/ painted bgs).

Really appreciate your understanding, and thanks for continuing to follow the adventures of a socially anxious stoic. I really appreciate it <3

First of all: feel better! Take care of yourself.
Secondly: Take care of your responsibilities at your day job. That is part of taking care of yourself, because you need your job.
Third: You have nothing to apologize for. Thank you for making a cool comic!

Take care of business. We'll be here.
