Hello everyone!

Not that anyone's probably noticed, but I haven't submitted anything in almost five months. Yeah...those months were filled with schoolwork, work, and just an unmotivated me...

But that's unrelated at the moment. Both PayPal and Point Commissions are currently closed. I will be working on the commissions I currently have on the waiting list (sorry to those who have been waiting! ), and hopefully I will get those done soon. I no longer do free requests, but keep a lookout for them because I may reopen them again for whatever reason.

As some of you may or may not have noticed, I did recently submit a deviation [Night Rikuo]. You'll probably be seeing more from Nurarihyon no Mago, and if you haven't read it, I'd totally recommend it if you like Japanese folktales, demons, and good art. There will be an increase of other fanart and original art, but no worries! I'll still be drawing Bleach fanart, too.

Also, I have been going through some old deviations and changing the signature from my previous username when I have time. I think dA still directs my previous username to my current profile, though, so no biggie. It's just a heads up if you notice different signatures, but if it's not ~arashi09 or ~xioara09, then it's probably stolen and if you could kindly report it to me, that would be great. I did find one of my artworks uploaded to a wallpaper website and the signature removed. All of my works should have my signature on it. Previously, I had been putting my signature in the corners where they could be easily removed, so I've begun trying to 'creatively' insert it within the art itself, so hopefully it's not too distracting. The only websites I upload to are deviantART, Tumblr, and pixiv. My Tumblr and pixiv accounts are not very active since I only recently created them, but otherwise, please report to me if you find my works on another website.

Thank you, and hope you all have a great day!
