Various things if you're wondering why I haven't been drawing lately XD

*from early 2015 to current*
-I'm still working as a contractor at Google's location. The free food and other amenities are awesome. COME JOIN ME. If you're able to work in Mountain View/Sunnyvale, CA, and have multiple language skills, then there's a high chance for you already. I get a small bonus if I successfully refer you. My commute here is HORRENDOUS atm though; it eats up 5 hours of my day EVERY DAY because I live so far away. I'd like to move closer, but I'd like to find a place for my fiance and me when I do move.  And the fiance still works in SF, so the place needs to be accessible to BART AND my work shuttles.
Fiance got laid off along with half of the rest of the company come end of July '15--technically he was employed through the end of August but July was when he left. I have confidence he can get another good job with his connections, but now it's a matter of WHERE! Fiance was rehired into the company before the end of the '15 year, lol. First as a temporary contractor, and now back to full-time since March 21 '16. With how volatile the company as a whole is, however, he's still open for better opportunities in the long-term. And heck, so am I, but it'll be REALLY hard to top Google if you want me, gaiz!
I personally want to drag him down South Bay in the fellow Mountain View vicinity, and that way it will be much easier to compromise on a location of where to move in together. :) I have a feeling most of his connections will keep him up on the North Bay side, which is a great area but TOO FAR FROM WHERE I WORK.
-Yah I got engaged XD Not having kids, this is long agreed upon. GTFO if you want to try to convince me otherwise, seriously. www.reddit.com/r/childfree - Finally started making plans for wedding, hopefully this happens maybe by the end of the '16 year??
-Got really big into Pokemon collection stuff... I was kind of in it back during gen 1 and 2... and just picked it up again following gen 6. Vaguely contemplating making a new account if I start more of the Pokemon collecting type of submissions, but in the meantime I might just keep posting here to keep things unified. And I still want to draw anyway, and switching accounts is a pain to me. XD If I ever get enough time, I would also love to get into making custom plushies. Because they are awesome. Anyway, this is finally teetering off at the start of 2016 despite it being 20th anniversary and LOTS of promos happening. I'm picking up some of the 20th anni stuff but really gotta watch myself because of other more important investments for the future!
-Steady translation commissions. Arigatou <3 ~

Project updates (...or lack thereof orz)

ToMaTo doujin - Resting around 40 pages right now and might possibly get close to 100. More or less. Story is mostly planned out in my head, but I haven't gotten the last part down just the way I want it, let alone started drawing much beyond my plans. I'm slowww I know. But this piece/story is pretty close to home for me, just translated through Digimon Savers world. Then again, Cycle was too, but this one a little more so. A litttttle.

Fudou/Kidou Inazuma Eleven fic went around 40k words but it's kind of not going anywhere. XD Some day I'll try to go back into it and rework it to be a more suitable parallel story, since it doesn't have much to do with their canon setting as third-years.

I'd still gladly take an offer to doujin a nice FDKDFD story! 8D

Or going back on even older OTPs, Matthew x Guy from Fire Emblem 7. I'd doujin something for that too. Oh yes. I had one in progress but the art was crappy and I've forgotten a majority of the story, which to me means the story wasn't great in my head in the first place. If I like my own story enough, I don't forget. XD

Fansubbing at Ryuu-Rogue~ Aside from releasing some final tidbits I'm essentially retired from fansubbing at this point, however.

━━━━━━ Commission Information ━━━━━━
Since March 2007
Last Updated: March 2016
STATUS: SemiOPEN! (Just not really because I haven't drawn in general in ages lol, I doubt anyone wants to commission me because of my lack of time, although I'm much better at meeting deadlines when I'm paid for it, so...)

Sorry my prices for anything involving Photoshop Lineart are exceptionally high; I am trying to encourage people to ask me for pencil commissions instead. XD

Hi Splash~ I saw your March 2016 edit and just wanted to say I'm glad things look well for you.
