Hello, everyone! Long time I don't post a new journal, right?

Yeah, I've been wanting to post this since the begin of 2013. Like most of you have realized, I haven't post many arts (I mean, only 4 submitting in the whole year, being 1 just a coloring), and I still owning art for some guys. What was that? An huge art-blocking of a whole year? Got busy with other stuffs? Well, a bi of all, in fact...

First of all, my two universities really suck my time. For the first time I decided to give up one of my classes dude my time didn't allow me to follow the class regularly, so I made the hard decision to redo this class in the next opportunity. Only this isn't all the reason I stopped to draw. In fact I still produced to my classes, but...without inspiration and will. I haven't lost my drawing skills, but everything I produced was...without the "magic", you know?
I also got a lot of translation to do, but nothing related to the web comics. I've got my first real job as a translator for Demand Studios, where I translated texts and articles from the site eHow.com . I was really interesting and the money came easy, but after a couple of weeks the job started to get boring, the text, even worse and a couple weeks ago I got fired. I'm not really upset, it was a great experience.
Also, I participated a dubling project! My university dubbed the Adventure Time's episode "Loyalty to the King". Even the amateur quality, it was a huge experience to see how the whole dubbling process is done! It was fun, at same time hard and tense.
Besides, I got my very first Academic Article translation and I'll spend the money in something that really worth it. Something that I'll look to it and say: "I bought this using my very first translation payment". Aside that, I translated a lot of stuffs for the Zelda.com.br website, like Hyrule Historia.
To complete this, I spend my free times doing other stuffs, like reading anything, watching some movies and playing a lot of games. I'm really great emotionally, but my artistic side is not the same.
I don't have the feeling like the years ago, where I demand to draw every-single day, without stopping. The Visual Arts university helped to make my hobby in a work and I started to get boring and without will, I just can't wait t stay away from there and start to draw for my own.
I've lost the interest in the RP-Groups, it was a really good experience, but I started to few my arts empty as well. Thank to everyone who I met thanks to this Pokémon Crossing! :D
But I really want to keep drawing. As some of you should know, I still pretty active on DA, watching really great arts from my friends and watchers and there's so many things I wish to draw... And I will, mark my words, everyone!
Thankfully, I've started to feel my inspiration back a couple days ago and, since I'll have more time in 2014. I promise to submit more arts, new and old ones that are still in process. =P
Also I'd like to thank you all for the support, especially the ones who helped me with some arts and personal stuff. At same time, I know I'm owning arts, but I swear it'll be finished ASAP! Thank you all for being so patient!
Now, about my very personal project Pulso... I'm working on, but thanks to some paradigm swift and inspirations, I started to find some elements really unpleasant, so I need to review the whole stuff, make some big chances, but everything on its time.

To finish, I shall travel to my family's beach house! Let's see how the next year will be and, hopefully, I shall submit new arts! Thank you all for your attention and support! See you next year! o/

It sounds like you've had an overall great experience this year, and the beach house next year sounds like something to look forward to! I wish you good luck with your Pulso project as well, and don't look at tossing ideas away as a step backwards. My oneshot had several ideas that were cut and re-written, and it would not have made it as far as it did if I hadn't made those changes. Keep up the spirit, and have a great end of 2013!!
