Pardon my absence.  I'm going through a very hard time right now.

On August 28, I said goodbye to one of my best friends in the whole universe.  My Gary, my pug of 16 years (more than half my life), has left our mortal plane.  That's okay though.  He's not suffering anymore.
I love my Gary more than I could possibly say, and I'm so thankful he's still with me in my heart and my memories. <3

So I'm feeling pretty depressed.  That's largely why the commissions are coming in slower.  It's hard to get out of bed in the morning most days.  It's hard to smile.  It's hard to not just wanna sit on the floor and do nothing.

But I'm managing!  I'm really trying my hardest!  Trying to sigh less.  Trying to move around more.  Trying to distract myself.

So I finished another PC and some art for a friend of mine.  I've also completely redone Wrath's backstory.  So yeah, I've done some things!

I just wanna leave my to-do list up here so everyone knows I didn't forget about them.

Thank you everyone, for commissioning me thus far!  I'm continuing to work on the commissions you've given me so far, so please just be a little patient~

If you would still like to commission me, please wait until I announce another opening.  Thank you very much for all your encouraging comments, favorites and watches!

See you guys,

In other news, I adopted a few new characters I'd love to draw and show off!  Hopefully, if I have time, I'll draw those beauties, too!
Thank you to Raii-ka, HumbleTrickster and BakaLexii for the characters!!

See you all later,

I'm doing digital sketch commissions for 20:points: each.  Full body, one character, no color.  Just a simple, clean-ish sketch of your character of choice!  I figured this would be the best way for me to get back into drawing for others.

I can draw:
-human characters
-furry/sonic/anthro characters
-neko/kemonomimi characters

If you'd like to challenge me with a character I've never done before, I will try my best!  I won't back down!

If you're interested, leave a comment, message me on my profile, or click the commission button on my page!  Thanks for checking me out and giving me a chance!

Here's some examples I've done already:
Commission Demo: Digital Sketch by IkaritheHedgehog  Commission: Alex the Hedgehog by IkaritheHedgehog   PC: SD Hedgehog by IkaritheHedgehog  PC: Joseph 'Jojo' Chinchilla by IkaritheHedgehog

Additional Information:
-please do not make my art into bases, thank you
-only the receiver of the artwork is allowed to use the artwork for whatever he/she/they want (to lineart, to color, etc)

I'm in short supply, but I can supply.  Leave a comment or fave this if anyone wants to see what kind of improvements I've made over the years.

Good morning/afternoon/evening, watchers, friends, fellow internet-dwellers.
With a friendly reminder from one of my IRL companions, it seems I've let this page die instantaneously.  Flatlined.  Kaput.  Nada.  Ikari's gone.  Whoosh~
It's not that I'll be coming back to it, either, maybe not to this website at all.  I don't know!  No real reason, in particular.  I've just decided to let it chill here. I could easily just vaporize all my old work and my entire existence as an artist on here, but it's kinda nice to have a page up with all my old artwork on it.  I know it takes up space, but it's easier than fumbling around through my hard drive.  XD  I'm sure you understand.
I'm going to call this my Museum Account.  It's a museum for anyone to exhibit my past endeavors with art and writing.  I'm going to admit, not a lot has changed.  I'm still doing more than 50% of the stories and stuff that you've seen, but maybe not in the form you're used to?  My friends and I have almost completely shifted focus to our role-play website NewGeneforce, that is, when we're not busy with work!  We're trying to unite our stories and create one complete multiverse.  I think it's much better now than it ever could have been!  Maybe if you really wanna catch up with me, come visit?
www.newgeneforce.forumotion.com
So really, I've come back just give this place a new purpose.  A new life, like the one I'm trying to make, IRL.  It's tough, but no one said what I'm doing would be easy.

Quick Q&A:
Do you still draw Sonic/furry stuff?
-Actually, only recently I've picked it up again.  I've been honing my Pokemon gaming and drawing skills for a year, more so.  I still love the style and the series, though.  It's quite refreshing to come back to it after so long.

What happened to your homepage?
-I cleared it up so this is the first thing you see.  Everything is still here, just not prominently on display at the moment!

How have you been?
-Eh, okay.  I've moved across the country again for personal reasons, but while it's been rough, I've got a job, a family who cares about me and friends who want me to succeed.  It's not a glamorous life by any means, but I'm thankful for what I do have.  I'm doing what I can to make it in this world.  That's what counts, right?

What are your plans for the future?
-I really would like to get a better job, maybe hone my writing skills and somehow muster up enough power to actually publish some things.  I love creating, and to throw this talent away is stupid and I'm not going to do that again.

Are you on social media/other websites?
-Not really.  My youtube page is kinda dead right now, too, but I might revive it someday soon.

Will I ever see you again?
-Like I said, you can find me on NewGen as RKRobot!  Please come by if you wanna catch up!

What will happen to all of your characters and stories?
-Please see the first comment below for my full answer.
-If you happen to share a character/couple with me, please message me and we will either properly break them up or one of us will keep the character.  I don't want to hold anyone back from doing what they truly would love to do with their characters!  If I end up with the character, I ensure you that I will love and use them to their fullest!  I just don't think I have the stamina to keep up with a couple on this website anymore.

Thank you all for watching, favoriting, commenting, fueling my inspiration, commissioning and helping me over the 6-7 years I was active!  I'm very grateful for meeting and getting to know you, and I really hope for the best for all of our futures!  Please do your best out there and accomplish what only you can accomplish!

Yours truly, IkaritheHedgehog
