Still alive, and still checking dA nearly every day.
I just happened to notice my dA birthday passed a couple weeks ago.
9 years vaguely involved with an art website. Huh.
By the way, I'm still excited about X/Y. I might do a few doodles a little ways down the line, just to practice the ones I like.
I'm super-excited on the prospects for Fairy-type. I'm also really excited about Gogoat, Inkay and Malimar. Goats are my favorite mammals of all, and squids are pretty much my favorite animals at all, so that's pretty great.
Honedge is also very awesome. Skrelp is great, but I'm still waiting to see if we get even cooler poison types later. ;
