What’s happening now?
Well, these comics are dead. I don’t know yet if I want to delete them, but I can’t see a way for them to work. Plot elements were confusing, overcomplicated, unexplained-you name it it’s probably there. But they stand as a benchmark for me to improve. I’ll admit, I did grieve the loss of these comics because I realised it was me holding onto comfort characters that I couldn’t do justice by.
I’m a firm believer in ‘Kill your Darlings’ these days.
I don’t draw as much now, but I’m continuing to write. I’d like to say my strongest suit is being a writer more so than an artist (don’t get me wrong, there were some things I did in my art that I’m still really happy with. I was a good shader if anything at all). I’ve been writing short stories and longer form novels, though the latter takes time. I would like to say my ideas are solid, one in particular I’m spending a lot of energy on making work, though I want to keep my cards to my chest. I’m reading a lot more, hungrily consuming new genres and writers because of a desire to learn. I’ve recently fallen in love with writers like Sayaka Murata, Neil Gaiman and Sir Terry Pratchett.
And I’m fully caught up to One Piece.
I feel happy writing now. I write because I genuinely want to. I have stories to tell and the drive to make those stories work. My comic attempts were me proving that ‘I am’, and now my writing is proving ‘I can’.
I can’t tell what the future is going to bring, but I want to work hard and produce something that I’m truly proud of as a writer. Perhaps one day I’ll return to these comics. I’ll look back, taking it all apart and seeing what could have worked.
I truly want to thank everyone that took the time out to look at my stuff, as unpolished and rough as it was. I don’t recall ever having a negative comment, and I am humbled at the kindness you all showed to me.

I don't really know exactly why I'm writing this, but I guess I wanted some finality on this page.

Hello. I'm still alive.
A lot has happened in the past three-four years. Of course, there's the obvious dramatic world events, but more personally, there's been a lot that's happened, both good and bad.
Primarily, I've gone through a healing process. I'm in a state which is best described as being mentally well. I'm looking after myself. I'm happy, which I couldn't say for the me that started this page.
When I started A.Y and Weeb in, what, 2016? I wasn't in the best place. It's most reflected in Weeb, a semi-autobiographical satire of my life and struggles. I'm not the same person as Weeb now. She isn't me, and yet is indeed still me, just at a different, distant point in time. I think back on some of the jokes I made in Weeb and realise just how far I've come. Back then, self-deprecation was both trendy and a means of verbalizing my internal struggles, but it wasn't right.
My making comics was a means of trying to prove my existence, in a way. I was insecure, and clung onto OC's I made in 2010 as a sort of 'way out' from all the struggles I faced. For her, a teenager that needed some form of creative outlet and validation, there was no harm in this. I'm glad in a sense that these comics remained fairly obscure. Of the people that did see, I thank you endlessly for your kind words. They really did make me happy.
But I failed as a writer. My ambitions were large, but I was childish. There was no way that those stories were going to work because frankly, I never even drafted up an outline. All of it came out of the wild thoughts of my imagination. I knew nothing about writing, but I wanted to be like the many writers I idolised without understanding how and why those works, well, worked. I'm happy with these comics as they marked my earnest attempts at putting myself out there, but as a writer, I can't say the same about what I made.

Had a bit of a drop in production recently due to mental health. I'm doing better now and feeling really inspired so I'm back on track with FGC Chapter 2. Might start uploading in smaller chunks too. Right now I'm experimenting.
MEANWHILE totally check out my twitter for updates and more art. Been super active there.

Thank you all for reading Chapter 1 of FGC!
The next update I aim to release hopefully by next month. Chapter 2 is going to be divided into 2 since it's a pretty hefty chapter and to preserve my sanity I don't feel it should be right to subject myself to too much all at once.
As a gift, have some concept sketches for Chapter 2!! For more updates and art, make sure to follow me on Twitter!

ok, I was gonna make a comic about it but I'll start here:
Akira Yami is over. Hasn't updated in over a year. A lot was going on and eventually I realised I was stuck on the series. Didn't really know how to progress.
So I'm rebooting it. New name, similar faces, new plot, new art. I'm feeling pretty good about this
Fire God Chronicles.
You can read it here or on Webtoon too

Check my Twitter out for more updates. I hope you enjoy chapter 1!!! Stick around for more!!

Hey, it's been a while. Sorry about that.
I'll be vague but I'm working on some stuff, some really exciting stuff and hopefully I'll be able to release some more details soon once it's all ready. Hopefully in the coming month, so keep an eye out. Follow my twitter or DA for updates and more art.

I hope you'll support me! Well, at least, here's a teaser.

nice ! gladly waiting for it
Looks great Vee
Right. So I didn't do much art this summer at all...sorry about that.
Artblock was a minor element but as I was getting out of it my computer absolutely screwed up on me (Just my luck). It did one of those windows install loops to the point it just wouldn't work again so I had to wait until the one for Uni came to get Clip Studio set up on it. And I lost any progress I had on the pages for Akira Yami. Yay...
Luckily this computer is absolutely swell and it means I have a fresh start to actually organise my files better. And it's a fast boi.
Otherwise there's been some social things I've done, beaten Rookie at Smash a ton more even though I don't own a switch, and I've luckily not had terrible mood, but I've been stagnant, I have terrible phone use but once I have routine again with Uni I should be better.
Oh yeah. I passed my exams with flying colours and I'm going to University in two weeks. Probably should've said that. May mean some more quality Vee content out of living alone for the first time. While I'm pretty nervous about meeting new people and the freshers element (I am not a club person), I'm really excited to try this all out.
I'm gonna regain my pace.

congrats Vee, keep doing your best
Hi everyone! I'm finished with my exams in three days and I really can't wait to make more comics and art. I hope you all have a cool summer too whatever you do!
My main goal is to embrace it and not get depressed. I'm too cool for that.

Hey I'm still alive.
hey Vee, are you ok?
Hey. Somehow, I'm still alive on here too.
Ahh sorry that was misinterpreted! I just meant to say that I'm alive and still working on stuff lol.
Yeah, I know. I'm surprised that I've still stayed on this site too. Still working on stuff too.
