Hey guys.
Some of you might have noticed that I've been pretty quiet online recently- at least as far as deviantart goes. I've been putting the odd doodle on my Twitter but nothing mind-blowing, and those of you who follow me for my nuzlocke have been left rather wanting for the last uh... best part of four months. Yeah. That's kinda slow at the minute.

To say I'm going on hiatus right now would be kidding myself. I've basically been on a hiatus for a few months now; it's only now that I'm making it official. The reason for this, is that I am reeeeeeal busy. Hiatus is a scary word I know but I swear it'll just be for a bit.

I'm in my final year of university and things have really just been non-stop work with barely any breathing room. I've barely had time to work on anything except for the odd tiny doodle in-between. I'm working full-time on two short films, both of which demand a lot of attention, and it's as much as I can handle to keep up with them along with my daily life. This is, therefore, basically just a clarification of what you can and can't expect to be seeing from me over the coming months.

The final deadline for our films is May. Between now and then, my activity on DA will be very minimal. I'll still check my notifications and messages every other day at least, and you can still contact me regarding commissions, however slots will be limited due to time restraints, and I'll be updating my commission sheet relatively soon, so please do wait until that's done if you're planning on requesting something- at the time of writing this I'm full, but I'm trying to figure out a way to have my commission availability status easily accessible across all my online platforms.
For correspondence such as that, emailing me at epifexart@gmail.com is preferred to the notes on here, as the conversations are more easily manageable on my part, and I like to have all that information in one easily accessible place.

Nuzlocke. That's still a thing. I know it's been updating at snail's pace recently, and even now I stand by what I've said in the past- unless I announce otherwise, it is ongoing and not cancelled. It will, however, be on hold over the coming months, similarly to the majority of my activity. I do still read and appreciate all the comments I get on it, and I look forward to being able to return to it once I have more time to do so. I think that the skills I've been practising at university will help improve the quality of the writing and pacing, and I'm excited to apply them to it.

Streaming is also going to be infrequent, although maybe briefly possible over holidays and the like. No promises however.

Basically, this is another selfish request for everyone to be patient for just a little longer. I hate being so inactive and I want nothing more than to dive right back into the incredible communities that I've grown distant from in recent months. A lot of you have stuck with me for a long time, and I'm trying my hardest to give back, but I have my limits and right now my attention has to be focussed on my degree. I'll try to keep people updated every now and again, and I'm looking forward to being able to stream, write and draw for you guys once my schedule is freer.

Thanks for your patience guys, it really means the world to me.

Later all.
