My hiatus is now over. I've returned from my trip to Thailand and after about 2 months of not having a house to live in I'm finally settled in Sydney. It's humble, absolutely infested with cockroaches- but it'll be home for the next few months. 

Today I started my job as an Assistance Dog Trainer at an ADI organisation in the city, so things are finally beginning to look up for me again. I'll be busy weekdays and most weekends with work, but I do have art back on the agenda. My desk set-up at my new place isn't the most comfortable for drawing so I have procrastinated a little, but expect to see a lot more work from me over the coming months. 

Not much other than that to report- just that I am not dead. 

-The first 20 people that comment wanting to be on this journal will be featured below and I'll choose three deviations I like most from their gallery
-If you comment, you must to do the same in your journal, putting the tagger (me) and three pieces of my art on the first place.
-The idea of this is not to get a free feature, it is to spread art around for everyone!

Humanity's Aid Chapter II: That DayOver one hundred years ago, a natural enemy and a of humanity appeared. There was an insurmountable gap in power between them and mankind, and as a result, the humans soon faced utter annihilation. But, as the enemy appeared, so did an ally: Pokémon. This extraordinary creatures, far more stronger and sometimes far more intelligent, sided with humanity against the foe. The survivors of the both sides responded by constructing three walls- Wall Maria, Wall Rose, and Wall Sina- which graced them with 100 years of peace. However...
"Until that time a wretched soul and parted/ From God was I, and wholly avaricious; Now, as thou seest, I here am punished for it." a reprezentant of the Church said, walking toward the foe."What avarice doth is here made manifest/ In the purgation of these souls converted,/ And no more bitter pain Mountain hath." the man said.
"Stop it! Let me go!" a woman begged, as he was picked up by the head by a Titan.
"What more, O Avarice, canst thou do to us,/ Sin<da:thumb id="549581831"/> Humanity's Aid Chapter I: To You, 2000 Years LaterIt was raining, in the forest, making a lot of sound, along with the sound of multiple hooves and paws, hitting the ground with force, and the flapping of a multitude of wings.
A large group of men and women, all dressed in military outfits, with beige jackets, white pats, dark-brown boots, and a dark-emerald claoks, were galloping on the backs of horses and bizzare creatures that could be rode, along other strange creatures, resembling plants, animals or even objects, running or flying as fast as they could along with the group. The creatures wore too some rich green cloaks, with the same insignia, a white wing over a dark blue wing, on a upside pentagon, utlinet in a silver line, as the humans.
"Prepare for battle! The enemy is up ahead!" lider of the group shouted, as a creature resembling a mixture between a scorpion and a bat, glided next to the man, pointing with its blue-purple tail, with two barbs on the end, straight ahead, before it silently glided over the group."The target

I grunt as I hit the floor of the ship. I try to get up but Drax's knife is at my jugular.
"If you steal from me again I will have revenge you. I won't care about what Quill say's about hurting you."
"Okay,okay, I'm sorry," I chough. "No taking your vanilla cupcakes. I won't happen again."
"Drax smiled then let me up, please that the massage had got through.
I scowl and get up off the floor.
Gamora looks at me and Drax with disapproval and says, "Does there always have to be noice and fights at breakfast?"
Gamora kind of has a point. Today was like every other day. We'd all get up,get our food, go to the table and stat to eat and then somebody would make trouble. Today it was Drax. Granted I had tried to kick one of his vanilla cupcakes with the pink fairys on top but still it was his fault.
I pointed at the big jerk and said, "He stared it."
Gamora rolled her eyes, "Really rocket, you're as bad as Peter."
"Somebody mention my name? Quill asked as he entered, music playing tree care
It's 7:36AM and I'm not happy. Why am I not happy? Beacuse I've been up all night on duty. Quill, Gamora and Drax are away doing...something. I didn't bother to ask about but has something to do with Nova and the short of it is that I'm alone on the ship. Okay groot is still here but at nine days old I don't think he's ready for night duty. I plod back to our room and open the door. Groot's pot is on the small table I have near my bed and Groot is inside it sleeping. I smile as I watch him sleep but that smile soon disapears when Groot begins to whimper. I run over to him at once.
"Groot buddy, what's wrong?" I ask but he just whimpers more.
Groot isn't old enough to talk yet so even I don't understand him that well at the moment.
"What do I do?  "What do I do?," I ask myself and I pace up and down.
Truthfully I don't have a clue as to how one wuld look after a child. I try my best but I'm really not that good at it.
I stop paceing as an idea comes to me.
I may not be good with ki Dance bros
I open my eyes slowly. The brightness of the room making me wince. I'm chaided hands and feet to the floor and bleeding badly. My heartrate speeds up as I hear footsteps approaching
"Well you look pathetic don't you?" a voice I know to be Quill's laughs.
I look up and whimper when I see the whip in his hand. The whip he's used on me so many times these last few days. They used whips against me on Halfworld and so they terrify me.
"Please," I beg, "Please don't...please"
Quill bursts out laughing again and says, "You're not very bright are you Rocket. You though you could trust me and the others didn't you? You thought we cared about you. Well we don't and nobody ever will. You're a monster and you'll spend the rest of your life getting what a monster deserves"
Quill then raises the whip and brings it down on my back.
.......
I gasp and sit up in bed. My breathing is hard and my eyes quickly dart about the room looking for danger but I find nothing. I rub my eyes, whiping away tears the

Hey all,

Just an update journal warning for some inactivity. I'm going to be uploading art still for a little then I'm going to be gone for a while. I'm still trying to scrape what's left of myself back together after my recent incident in hospital and I don't feel quite right anymore.

I'm finishing up my exams, then from November 6th I'm leaving University to travel around Australia and Thailand. I won't have anywhere to live between then and when I start my job in Sydney, so from November to late January I won't be uploading anything and I'll probably not be able to reply to any messages. 

Meanwhile, for those of you interested in keeping up with my travels or more personal life (as well as the occasional art upload and photos that won't ever make it to my DeviantART account), you can follow my Tumblr: bluemagpie.tumblr.com

Take care

So...

I was hospitalized last week. I never really got a chance to post, but I was kept on a high dependency ward for the last week and was just discharged yesterday. Things have been...interesting, but thankfully the people around me have tried to be supportive. My room was broken into by the paramedics and quite a few people saw them take me away which was embarrassing, but things seem to slowly be returning to normal.

 I'm pretty dazed and not totally with it, but I'm back and replying to messages again. Just excuse me whilst I roll around being sad and dizzy.
