I'm alive.

2 min read

Hello everyone, I will keep this short.

Basically I've been busy with studying (I'm doing my masters right now) and also, well, I've been dealing with anxiety and continuous artist block over the last year, so that's why I haven't been posting, or even logging in.


And not getting any new artwork done, I've been not feeling like logging in either, mostly because logging in here would remind me of my non existent works in progress. I hope that makes sense.


The last couple days I finally got around around to actually create something, I'm very happy about that, so I got the confidence to log back on. I didn't even know until now that there were these big updates to the site, haha.


But anyways, I want to get back more into drawing, at least more than... nothing a year, so while uploads will be scarce most likely, I'll upload and check here more than I have been.


I apologize for my absense and hope you all had a good start in 2020 and enjoyed Sword and Shield! Thank you for sticking around and the birthday wishes too, I appreciate it!


I have Twitter now also, so if you want to, you can follow me there. I'll post my art, shinies and bug related stuff there: https://twitter.com/TWScatterbug


Thank you guys for reading, I wish you all the best~

Hello everyone,

I hope you are doing all well!
I apologize for being on hiatus for some time again.
It's honestly hard for me to keep up with everything while I'm studying, deviantart included.
Me being a rather slow drawer doesn't really help ^^'

Anyways, the semester is over and I have my long awaited summer holiday break.
So, I'm back now and even got my first artwork done, my first non-Pokemon artwork nonetheless.
I plan to bring out also more other anime-related artwork from now on, of course Pokemon will still be coming as well.

This is my resolution for the "renaissance" of my profile here. I already updated my deviantID since it felt outdated.
My profile has actually now over 15000 pageviews, which is kinda surreal for me to be honest, thinking that 15000 times people came to my profile... Especially considering my upload-rate in the last 2 years...
I will definitely keep them coming this summer though and try to stay active even when university calls for me again.

With that out of the way, I will get to look at all the submissions/journals/notes in my inbox later, I look forward to it x)
I look forward to getting in touch with you again!

Also, for those of you, who still play Pokemon Go, we could become friends there if you want to and send us gifts from time to time!
My friend code is 1876-7015-2728. Tell me if you added me, so I know who it is!


All right, thanks for reading, enjoy the summer!</small></small>

Comeback-Time!

3 min read
I don't know how many of you thought this was ever going to happen again and honestly, for a long time, I thought it would not, but....

Hello everyone.
I somewhat can't believe it either, but I'm back after my over a year absence. I'm really terribly sorry for just leaving like that.

So, what happened?
Basically, last year in August I fell into an mental/emotional low. Hard. It wasn't really depression but I could never really bring myself to do much, I basically ever only did my stuff for university.
And that mood carried on and on and on and I couldn't bring myself to draw or talk with you guys here cause I wouldn't want to drag your mood down with the one I was in.
Another factor is probably my fear of being judged. Whether it is my hobbies, my looks, my sexuality, my point of views. I can't help but feel being judged for who I am.
That's why talking with others is often problematic for me. I often feel like I wasn't made for this world.
Welp, and that's about what happened.

My terrible mood is over now though. And today I could finally bring myself to log in again. No. I *wanted* to log in again.
I know I'm not the greatest artist but I really enjoy the time I have on here with you guys.
In my circle of friends I'm the only one who likes Pokemon, anime and so on and so I really cherish this little community that gives me the oppurtunity to talk about these things.

So, yeah, I will start my comeback now. I plan to give this account a complete overhaul. It might take some time, but I'll definitely work on it. New stuff will be coming.
So, I would like to officially welcome all the people who decided to watch me and of course I would like to thank the people who actaully stuck around even though I was gone for so long.
You know, seeing all your kind birthday-wishes even though I was gone over a year made me teary-eyed.
I will take care of all the comments and notes that accumulated over the last year soon.

I'm really looking forward to have DA as a regular part of my life again.
I thank you all for your support. I know I haven't seen any of you in person but you still mean a lot to me.
Keep on not squishing bugs :)

So, I know most of you don't care and that's fine and all, but Portugal just won the Euros with 1-0 after extra time against the host-nation France!!!!

I'm actually a huge football fan for those of you who didn't know xD
You might think now, dafuq, aren't you German? And yes, I'm German and I have no relation to Portugal whatsoever.
But I have always liked the country and especially the football-team. Since I was 8 I've been a huge fanboy, I watch every game xD
And finally, FINALLY Portugal got what they deserved!

After that lost final at home in 2004...
After people just reducing the team to Ronaldo...
After people hating on Portugal because of Ronaldo...
After people just always saying Portugal is a second-rate team...

No, Portugal is one of the best teams in Europe even without Ronaldo, I hope people understand now.
I'm seriously so happy, for all the players and also for the whole nation, good job guys! I love you Eder, that shot was crazyT_T
I was really worried after Ronaldo had to leave the game but now Portugal won a final even without him, what now haters?
I'm really sorry for France though, losing at home really sucks, ask Portugal.

Welp, just felt like posting this, I'm really a big fan, this is like one of my best days ever, I can die as a happy man now! Forca Portugal!:iconportugalplz:

I really hate that Ronaldo-bashing though, it's also very common here in Germany, it's almost like a trend, have these people ever even spoken a single world with him?
No, but they think he's an arrogant ass because media pictures him like that. I know he definitely doesn't lack self-confidence, but he also does a lot of good stuff.
Like donating money, not getting tattoos so he can donate blood or taking time for his fans like those dudes who took selfies with him right before or after the match.
I feel like if he was playing for Germany for example everyone here would love him...
