Big Announcement (Temporary MMD Hiatus) (Pixiv Fanbox)

I've got a big and important announcement to make to everyone here. This was a hard decision for me to make, but it needs to be known.

Similar to last year, a big opportunity has opened up for me to further my journey with hand-drawn art and my comic- Planet Motherboard. Given the timing of this opportunity and the character art course I am already taking- I have decided to announce a hiatus from MMD works for the time being while I dedicate more of myself to practicing my drawing art skills and to my art course. This wasn't an easy decision to make. It had been weighing on me for quite a while now. I didn't want to feel like I was letting anybody down, especially with my Fanbox and everything, but I just felt I was not applying the time that I wanted to for my art studies amongst maintaining works for my Fanbox, and the rest of things I need to dedicate time to in my everyday life. Ultimately, I feel that putting MMD on the sidelines for now is my best course of action to take if I want to capitalize on this opportunity.

I will continue to finish my outstanding raffle prizes for recent winners, as well as finish the rest of Viala's voice acted set before this hiatus begins. These will be done within the month of February hopefully, and the end of February raffle winner set will be posted as well in the early days of March. After that, MMD will be set to the side for a while as I further myself in professional drawing. Anybody who wishes to cancel their Fanbox membership with me for when that time comes, feel free to. I'm not expecting everyone to continue supporting me through there when there will be much less MMD works posted, if any for a while.

With that being said, my Fanbox will not be completely inactive during the MMD hiatus. Those who still wish to support me can follow along with my progress as I will be posting WIP and assignment pictures I've done there. Once I feel I've gained a sufficient level of professionalism and understanding of anatomy and proportions, I will be posting hand-drawn works as well as MMD works on my Fanbox. I absolutely will be using any skills I've learned to do some hand-drawn watery images involving my OC's as well as other characters, and any NSFW ones will be available exclusively through Fanbox (including any nude edits when I get that far) while non-NSFW ones will be posted on Fanbox first, and then publicly on my Pixiv a week or so later, like how my Fanbox structure is already set up for my MMD works. If you still want to support me as I dedicate more time to hand-drawing, it is appreciated, but not expected by any means.

Raffles will still be taking place, but they will be switched from two winners per month to one winner per month. I do still want to offer them in the instance anybody decides they still want to support me.

And continuing on about that opportunity- while I can't say much about it, I can mention that another anthology will be involved, and it is accepting many participants from many different skillsets: for writing as well as illustrating! So if anybody would like to be involved in this upcoming anthology, feel free to message me for inquiry! I can't explain many details on it yet as I have been asked to keep it on the down low for now, but any more participants for it are always welcome! Of course, sexual themes and full on nudity would need to be excluded from the works added to the anthology, but I imagine that was easy to gather already lol.

This MMD hiatus will be long, but not forever (probably until October or so? It depends on how long my studies take). To everyone who has supported me thus far, thank you, and to any who want to continue to do so, I thank you as well! When the MMD hiatus is over, you will likely see both hand-drawn as well as MMD works from me on my platform going forward from then. Wish me some good progress on that until then! Thanks for reading!
