Wow, how long has it been since I've last been here?
I haven't really been in a hiatus over the past years. Yes, the account known as Tevarro has been asleep and collecting dust all these years. But I have been drawing. Here and there. Or maybe it could be called hiatus if the hiatus involved posting over here. I have been working on some new stuff, but I haven't been much of a poster here.
But in lieu to the dawn of a new year is approaching, along with new work and a new art style developing, I have decided that I shall return to the world of dA once more. I'm not sure if I'll be actively posting, but rest assured that I will be posting here again.
And on Facebook.
And maybe Behance as well.
See what I did there? Social media plugins. Oh yeah.
I'm also not sure if anyone's still active here, which was partly the reason I have not been active here so long. So if you're still alive, do let me know. It'd be nice to hear the voices of old friends again. Ah, the good ol' times. Also, I'm planning to clean up my watch list, as I already have cleaned my overflowing pile of notes and notifications.
Anyway. Advanced Happy New Year to everyone!
Well, I’m back.

I do apologize for my hiatus. It seems the cycles of hiati won’t end. But looking on the bright side, it’s a good thing that a hiati does not result to my permanent absence. After missing those coffee-fueled nights of frantically punching my pen onto the tablet in an attempt to create this thing called art, I decided to return to drawing.
Which also meant returning to world of dA. And returning to my works.
My old, old works.
Have you ever tried leaving your works for so long that you no longer see them as your beloved babies, but as aged fragments of your past? I think I have. And I feel an urge. An urge to purge.
Yes. I’m having thoughts of purging my gallery. After several works and reworks on Project Abigail, I decided to shelf the project and return to Project Hellion. After returning to Project Hellion, I realized that my characters seriously need a makeover.
An overhaul. To the point that the project has now been renamed to Project Odium. Hellion was just a working title, after all, so I guess it was never meant to be its final title. Such a change in the project will take some time to transition (I have yet to do the actual rename in my dA folder), but part of the transitioning process will be to snuff out my past works of Project Hellion. Purge them.
Well, I’m actually just going to put them in storage. Purge just sounds cooler, hehe. I’ll probably not store them all – but most of them, yes.
And why must I commit to the purge? Because they’re old. Outdated. I’ve always had this... cringe... every time I see my old works. And considering my style has been changed since working on Project Abigail, I think my new style would look out of place with my old one.
Just think of it as a matter of replacing my works. Out with the old, in with the new. Like this.
Recognize any of them? They may be my old characters, but they've been revised. Re-envisioned. Hope you like them. It's going to be like that for the next few works.
So yeah. Purging time.
