tl;dr- Birthday, FURUM, Commissions + Projects, Art Pages
Before anything else, I decided to check in on this site to see how everyone's going so far. My sincerest apologies if I haven't been interacting and doing anything much here, but do know that I'm still alive and pretty much just silent here for the past months or so.
I just turned 25 a while back, and tho it seems like a long way now and learned so much in the first quarter of my life, I'm pretty sure there'll be more lessons and experiences to learn in the succeeding quarters. Loads have happened - art and animation growth, losing and finding relationships, making friends and the like, and with each day which passes, I'm really thankful for the lessons life keeps throwing at me.
For those who aren't aware, I'll be attending FURUM over at Malaysia this December 8-9! I'll be tabling as an exhibitor/artist, and will be selling some merch like prints, buttons and stickers at the event. To those who'll be attending FURUM as well, do drop by my table and say hi! Though, I'll be using my screen name, 'Gabriel Cruz Toons,' instead of my CyberPikachu sona, jsyk!
With that said, I'll be opening commissions really soon to cover some expenses while I'm in Malaysia. Do note that I'll be updating my commission prices accordingly, and will most likely post them on my other art pages since I'm more active there than on this site (will still post it here, but my art pages will be given priority, so please do follow me there if you haven't; links will be posted below).
As for my other projects, I've had Cybie and Tykie - Safety Furs in the back burner for prolly a year now, and I truly apologize for not following through and taking the project as seriously as before. Real life has had a toll on me recently, and I just couldn't juggle and manage my projects as well as I could before, what with physical, mental and emotional stress all acting up at the same time. Nonetheless, I aim to focus on that from now and continuing on to 2019. I unfortunately might not return to webcomics with Cybie and Tykie, but I plan to create a new webcomic title, and will be applying the lessons I learned from the good and bad points I experienced with my former title. I'll also do my best to be more active in cons, whether they be furry-related or not.
With that said, please do follow me on my 'Gabriel Cruz Toons' social media handles because, as mentioned, I'm REALLY more active there:
