Hey Everyone

2 min read

Hey everyone, DragonQuestHero here.


It has been a long while...sadly it has been a really rough year on my end. What a rough year 2020 has been, so much pain, lose, angry and drama...I can't wait until it is finally behind us all. Can't say I've been able to find many positives about this year, asides from some amazing friends whom have been by my side during it, along with my family being in good health. The win by Joe Biden was also a major plus of the year. Yet it can never amount to all the good souls we have lost this year around the world. Even if I personal not lost anyone close, so many have...and I can't imagine the pain which they feel. My heart goes out to everyone lost a love one during all this. Art has always been a passion for me, something I often do for fun. Its been a bit hard getting art done with everything currently going on at home, along with around the world. Allot of the art I have done not really suited for DA due to the content. Been drawing allot of more fun things to cheer myself up, escape from reality a bit...or gifts for my good friends. I do apologize my art was very lacking this year. I'm hoping once the chaos of 2020 is behind us, I'll find allot more energy to get some art done. Honestly I don't know if anyone even going to read this...regardless I figured I'd leave a little update just in case. If anyone is reading this I do hope all is well on your end of things, and hope the rest of 2020 is as bright as it could be considering the circumstances.


Here is hoping 2021 will turn out better in the long run. I do have a feeling the first half is still going to be a rough road...but we all must do what we can to push forward. As always I will continue to follow my passion and continue to draw, with hopefully more coming in 2021. =) Once again best wishes to everyone reading~ As always feel free to leave a comment and let me know how you are doing. ^^

Hey everyone DragonQuestHero here! Yes, I am still alive and well.

My apologizes for basically vanishing the last few months, but life has just been keeping me busy as of late. For one I now work retail, so the month of November and December turned out to be rather draining on me physically. It was my first year in retail during the holiday seasons, and it turned out to be much more exhausting then I was expecting. As a result it just left me with little energy to do much, let alone come up with ideas of what to draw or the energy to do so.

I do admit I also got a bit hooked on the gaming side last year...with major titles like Dragon Quest Builders 2, Dragon Quest XI S...along with the releases of I, II and III on the Switch. Being the major Dragon Quest fan I am, I found myself going through each title...not only that but we got the Dragon Quest Heroes in Smash as well. So as fan of Dragon Quest I had allot on my plate, and was a nice change of pace after a hard day of work. Not use to getting so much Dragon Quest in one year...was a good year to be a fan of the series.

When it comes to art I've gotten a bit done, but the art I done so far has been for friends...but at the very least have been drawing and coloring some of the images. I do plan to become more active now that things have finally slowed down at work. I've got much more energy and desire to draw. Just need to decide what I want to do...as always suggestions are welcomed. Hopefully I'll have something up soon, even if it just starts off basic and easy.

Not sure how many will read this, but for those who have I thank you for your time. If you have a suggestion what you like to see, feel free to express it. I hope 2019 ended well for you all, and I do hope 2020 turns out to be a bright year for everyone!

Update: I've gotten a new laptop, and I've been spending the last few days getting everything moved over and set up on it. Still playing catch up on things, but I've gotten most things caught up. With a computer back in action I just need to get back into the zone and do some artwork, just got to think of some ideas of what to do. :nod:



Original Comment: laptop has died and I'm in the process of trying to get a new one. It broke over a week ago, and the attempt to repair it failed. So I'm in the process of just getting a new one. Just a heads up for any lack of replies on my end.

If someone tried to connect me through discord that is why I've yet to reply. Hopefully it will not be much longer a wait, just got to decide what the best laptop to go for.

Hey everyone, DragonQuestHero here! Feeling a bit of burn out after focus and putting so much time into my art...figured I'd take a break for a day or two. Still takes me forever to get something done...and I still need to do the finished version of Ike's transformation, and other images I have planned out. @.@ Wish I could just dish them out like some people are able too...

Thought I'd take a moment and catch up with everyone, or anyone willing to take the time to chat. DA been feeling a bit empty, even more so then usual, so thought this journal might help to bring a little life to it. It seems to get harder and harder to find those welling to converse as the years go by...and so many I use to be close with I don't hear much from now a days. Ironically I had so many I use to engage with back in the Sonic days, back when my art really nothing to look at.
Regardless its not going to stop me from trying to improve that.

So figured I'd ask how things are going for everyone. How life been treating you, anything fun/interesting or plans for the future? Any of my artist or creative friends working on any kind of new images/concepts or stories? Any kind of video games you been hooked on or looking forward too this Holiday season?

I'm up for talking about anything fun and relaxing. =) Just enjoy time with any of my watches that don't mind chatting with me a bit...could use a little excitement. Might help to get the juices flowing.
