I know, I know, it's been forever, but I've just popped back to discover my last update was from about two years ago...ehe. ^^; I've been busy and super stressed out these past months, having finally graduated (First Class Honours woooo) and been cast adrift into the Big Ole World. It sucks being back to living with my family after four years of freedom in shared housing, but hopefully I'll be able to move out on my own someday. So yes, I did survive the year of academic hell in Italy, and my final year at uni, and on top of that I even got the chance to take a trip all on my own down to Australia to visit a long-time senpai and fellow TES RPer! :iconuguufaceplz:
I'd never been out of Europe before, but I found my way from the UK to Dubai to Kuala Lumpur to Australia without much trouble (apart from the torture of taking 3 different planes and travelling 20+ hours) and stayed with him for two amazing months. We also recently finished an epically long (in that it took us months to finish XD) RP thread on tumblr between Lleryn and his lovely Dunmer Moraelyn, which you can find somewhere on my Lleryn blog (llerynserathis.tumblr).

Art-wise I've mostly been posting my work on the tumblrs, though a large part of it has been exclusively Lleryn-related so it's gone on my sometimes-RP bloggie (llerynserathis.tumblr.com/tagged/art). I'm trying to assemble another blog for art only, though that's still in-progress atm.

Also a cleanout of the garage yesterday unearthed a pile of sketchbooks that contained the oldest art I remember posting on here, back when I was around 15 and intensely obsessed with POTO (which I still love, by all means XD). There was a lot of nostalgia and maybe a little bit of cringe too, and it got me thinking about the old times and the great people I met through dA. So that's why I'm checking in today - just to say thanks for all the continued support and all the lovely messages and feedback everyone's given me even when I've not been active. As you can imagine my notifications are, uh...in the thousands there since I've been away so long...but I've still looked through them and smiled a lot <3

I may be posting more art here sometime when I have a few minutes to spare, though my main hub is tumblr these days given that a lot of the art I post here mysteriously ends up on tumblr anyway (almost always uncredited). But yeah, I'm definitely going to be back here now and then, and I'm fine with the sharing of my art as long as it's credited etc :3

What else, hmm...I've been playing ESO, though not so much lately, on the EU server with my Altmer mainly (with whom I completed the Daedric Lord Slayer achievement, and afterwards decided to rest on my laurels)...I've also been playing Flight Rising because yes dragons (hmu if you want to add me, I like looking at other people's dragons :3). Also SKYRIM. After an eternity...oh, feels good man. Feels good.

Anyway, that's all for now - and thanks again!

Glad to see you're still alive and, by the sounds of it, at least mostly well! If you ever come across Dareio, Alva Lorsel, or (I don't expect you remember any of these names, but especially this one) Jethalunerrpal Miribarib in the ESO EU servers, don't be a stranger oDo! Though I think you're a whole lot higher level than I am, judging by the achievement.
