Deviation Actions
Okay so I need to do a crash course update on things here as my life's plans went to all hell in the new year in a very bad way. To sum things up I have become a victim of a con which hurt my finances, and identity, putting me in a massive legal mess, also doing great damage both mentally and physically. While I am mending my shattered life there are ways that can help me in the future once legal matters are further down the road but for now if you want to help the best ways are become a patreon sponsor at patreon.com/demonblade or share my work. While I am taking donations on Deviant Art a better way will open in the future.
So where does this place my artwork.
As I stated in the start of the year I am going to do a few things weekly and will take some commissions as they come. So here is the break down.
Patreon Weekly Requests - I am returning to weekly requests for every paying patreon, (with one exception being the Patreon for MPW for a reason listed below) I decided it best do to the amount of work on my hand to just pick back up to weekly requests this month vs the missed months. If you are a patreon supporter and don't have a submitted content coming up let me know. I am going to release a list of upcoming requests on the patreon site tomorrow. I plan to release these on the weekends.
Free Weekly Sketch Requests- As I stated at the beginning of the year, I am going to do weekly sketch requests, they are single panel and not much detail coloring, I am allowing masking art and its a good way for fans that have no money to get a quick request done. If you request a comic from it I sadly cannot fill it as this is designed to be something I can do on my lunch break or as I am doing other things. I plan to release these on Sundays or Mondays
Commissions - I currently have several commissions (two large scale page count ones [Erza's Closet, and a unnamed one at this time] I am trying to work on commissions and as always I don't take money from the commissions up front so please don't offer greater amounts or money up front to get your work done sooner. Commissions will be released randomly through the week.
Magical Princess War - Starting this spring, I will try to make this a weekly comic release for all my sites and will have a hosted page on imbriaarts.com I don't yet have a set day release of the comic, extra stuff for the site also will be available in the future as well
Demon Blade - I am working on the comic daily, trying to have at least the full two part story of issue 3 and 4 out this year. Facebook followers, and Patreon followers will get inside looks into the series.
Green Lightning and Path of the Butterflies - Both are random updates in the future, mainly when I find the time or inspiration to write for both of these.

Delays and a upcoming time off in early March
So why have I not been getting many streams and art done as of late. Honesty, it has mainly been because of my health. I have at least three digestive issues, gastroparesis, a fistula and internal bleeding from hemorrhoids and Ulcers. This makes my average day a painful one to merely sit and focus. Something I do for 40+ hrs at my day job, with my end days coming home to one throw up some and rest. While I have worked a bit on my original comics and enjoy doing streams sometimes the pain gets too bad to draw, these times that my hand shakes badly and when I reach those points it best to lay down to rest. Sometimes I can get well enough to stream for four hours at max before the pain hits to harshly. I tend to spend my weekends on personal tasks that one normally needs but some weeks I can barely function for too long. To deal with this issue I have pain meds that make me sleepy, removing almost all foods, living on more liquids and rest. So now the reason for this post. On March 1st
So long 2023 #8230
So long 2023 you won’t be forgotten but won’t be missed Seriously I want so many types of food…. But am settling for bland small amounts or no food for one my health currently and my health in the coming year. In 24 I plan to focus more on my health and having a set art/streaming schedule. I have not been happy with my releases time over the past half a year. Given I will only be streaming four nights a week starting Tuesday. Yes that’s a hard stream but I am moving all streams to 8pm starting time. And Witch’n will join Demon Blade on weekly weekend release. Patreon I am still working on. Part of my issue is the fandom that has built around me that I have no interest in continuing to draw at all. I am not getting rid of current requests from sponsors but I am going to halt any more requests paid or not for masking art. Frankly I am tapped clean of new content I can create in something I personally have no and never had interest in. It’s been causing burnout and frankly I feel I can better focus on art that I prefer to draw. I will still leave Dining and Doodles request and I will open up masking art in the two hour show but if I see too many I am deleting those requests. And again it’s a two hour drawing session I will not do massive art pieces or comics for free that stuff takes time and focus. Sadly 23 had been a rough ride for me. While I did get a job I genuinely love doing. It’s separate from my creative side. And that’s a higher of the year. But having witnessed a vehicle homicide, living half a year homeless in my car, almost losing a close family member to heart issues, and the crap topping being what I haven’t talked about publicly this past year… where I was physically and sexually assaulted while living in my car. It’s made me less willing to open up to being friendly to people I meet as I was assaulted by a guy I just met once and he was determined enough to break into my car and attack me. I have been dealing with that trauma. All while my health has been up and down. But I saw it through and am going into the new year with new goals and plans. I sincerely wish a Happy Nee Year to each of you and I hope to bring forth new joys and laughter into 2024. Let all see the future and what it brings forth together.
A Full Breakdown on Delayed Streams and more
So while I was Hoping everything wasn't damaged in the year away from streaming things are sadly. Tuesday's Divel Draw showed a key error for Dining and Doodle and Drivel Draw which is the decade old Wacom Bamboo Tablet has died. I thought late Tuesday it was fixed but apparently the issue will take funds I have to wait for my next paycheck to fix. So both of those streams will be down for the week. Sorry. Meanwhile other streams were delayed due to my health which as I note on the Live Stream schedule will happen as I have a pretty bad stomach issue that flares up in pain nausea and dizziness making it hard to do anything long in a sitting position. Sadly its effected my diet to becoming a mostly liquid one too. With alot of food (mostly fruits, nuts, and veggies all which I love) to not digest inside me. Making my health remain in poor shape. While I will work as much as I can. On all projects just keep in mind my schedule. As far as art. I will be posting Demon Blade (next
Happy New Year and Announcements for 2023
Coming 2023 So many may have been wondering why I keep saying I will do a stream and keep failing. As things have been I have been living out of my car and my phone connection … well sucks. And as we have a bigger interest in Aye appearing then my aging real life mug, it’s a good idea to wait to improve things. But now as we head into 2023 there are some things good to state. First off. We are returning to art and streaming (maybe mid to late January to mid February for the relaunch date) mainly this is due to trying to find a place to work from that isn’t on wheels. The art may start sooner. New schedule for streams and new / suggested games. In 2023 when streaming returns we will host streams Wednesday - Sundays likely around 6 Pm EST for games on Friday, and Sunday. And 8 pm on Wednesday, Thursday and Saturday for art, chat, Lesser Look Live (Thursday) and Mania Manga review (a new comic / manga read suggestions by you). On Wednesday we will be chatting and doing manga as we draw from our own creations and comics. While Saturday will be 3 hours of Dining and Doodles, with our normal 2 hour block for requests and the final hour drawing something original. Most streams will last three to four hours with hard out times. Planed games will be More Stardew Valley (mods) danganronpa One Piece: Odyssey Breath of the Wild 2 And more New Art and writing 2023 will see the return of weekly Demon Blade pages, a new (name yet to be revealed) Webtoons series. And new novels / novelettes from us including a planned hard cover release of 11 Kingdoms hopefully by Summer. To say 2022 was a rough one for me would be a understatement, but with it we hit number 1 in Stardew Valley streaming, one of the rising art streams and a quickly growing audience in all avenues we released last year. You all the fans and supporters had helped me so much in this past year. But we are starting 2023 with a new job. Eventually (soon) a new home. My health still being a problem but finding better ways to deal with and move forward with it.
