This is a general announcement to say that I will probably return to officially being active on DA around the end of May. I may be around sporadically before then (as I have been lately), but I'm probably not going to make a serious effort to catch up on correspondence until late in the month.

In the meantime, I'm going to start uploading some non-Zelda fanart that I've made over the course of the past year—mostly Neopets. I stopped uploading Neopets stuff here a couple of years ago because I was doing very quick doodles for the Art Gallery that usually just didn't look finished enough to post, but I realized recently that I have almost nothing in my Neopets folder here, which is a terrible injustice given that Neopets was what got me to join DA in the first place. So, I'm going to be gradually posting my backlog of Art Gallery entries from the past couple years. Most of them are small cartoons that aim to convey some sort of visual gag and are not really on the level of finished pieces.

The last thing I want to say is that I saw The Avengers last week and it was unbelievably awesome. I would have immediately made fanart if not for the fact that I had exams coming up (so consider this paragraph a fanart raincheck). I didn't grow up with superhero comics—as a kid, I eagerly read and memorized Carl Barks's duck comics and Tintin and Asterix and various newspaper strips, but the stories and characters in superhero comics never grabbed me in the same way as Uncle Scrooge and Calvin and Hobbes. Still, I am a huge fan of what Marvel has been doing with their characters in their movies, and I was really impressed that they were able to succeed with a film on the scale of The Avengers.
