For the people who have stuck around this long, who've followed my comic through the many periods of inactivity and seen the leaps and bounds in the quality, storytelling and so forth; I want to thank you for your ever loving support and dedication to sticking by me.
When I started The Splintered Path of Fate it was a whimsy spur of the moment thing where I really wanted to give Zero a different ending and future from how it ended in the manga (and to an extent the movie too). It's been my pride and joy since its conception in 2011 and few people can really say they've stuck by a project for like, 10-years, with only a tiny pool of supporters.
But 10-years is also a big period of time in which people grow. People change. And most importantly people learn. I wasn't nearly as aware or educated as I am today when I started this comic and it shows in my storytelling and in my choice of character portrayals. Needless to say, it's aged poorly and I've come to realise that there are many things in tSPoF that are problematic. These are not small things either and despite my recent editing of the dialogue in the comic to be more appropriate of the context, there are things that cannot be easily changed.
I love Lysander with my whole heart, but I cannot go on blindly thinking that it'll be okay to keep her the way she is. She's one of my favourite OCs, but she can be better. I can certainly do better.
No one has specifically come to call me out on it; this has come about from some self-reflection and re-evaluation of my content in recent months. I do want to offer my sincerest apologies if my comic has in any way offended or upset anyone. I was very ignorant. Like I said, 10-years is a long time and a lot has changed.
As such, I've come to the decision to discontinue the comic.
Is this the end? In some ways, perhaps. But recently I've started working on my fanfiction for Nanu & my OC Siane and I fully intended their story to overlap with parts of The Splintered Path of Fate. So what happens now? I have hopes to write a novelisation of tSPoF, but with all the changes I couldn't make to the comic. This will become the new canon. I don't have an ETA on when this will happen, but if you've been here for the comic, then you already know what I'm like with schedules. I'm a wheneverly type of creator.
That's all I have folks.
Take care 'n I'll see you all around.
Art Fight 2019
I haven't decided on what team to be on - but my Pokemon villains Adelin, Levon and Izel are very much going to be in the forefront of the wanted characters since they align perfectly to this year's team themes of Dream and Nightmare! My username is HybridDragoness on Art Fight - and I always endeavour to return fire if you draw my characters! Always!
If you've never heard of Art Fight go check them out at
it's a great and fun event to meet other artists and get some great inspiration!Also quiet reminder Commissions will be closed during July as I will focus on Art Fight
Hope you're all well!

I've been pretty quiet since getting back from Japan, largely due to classwork, my part-time job and life getting in the way. Had a bit of a medical episode of which I've been informed is a permanent thing - my jaw disc slipped out of place and it's like that forever, so no crunchy foods or biting for me anymore
In any case, because my free-time is generally quite lacking nowadays, and winter is also giving us a scary ass bill for heating - I'm going to be raising the prices of my commissions. It's not likely to be a massive change, it's just going to help to cover my costs that I'm facing currently. All my commission payments go straight towards my house bills/food/medical costs.
Thanks for all your support; I hope you're all well and healthy - either enjoying the summer warmth in the northern hemisphere, or staying warm in the southern.
EDIT 24/06/19: I will also be closing Commissions for the duration of Art Fight; but they will promptly re-open again from August 1st.
If you don't know what Art Fight is, it's an annual art event where two teams duke it out by drawing members' characters to earn points! You can check it out here or a their official website here!Stay safe and have a wonderful week everyone

Back from Holiday
In any case, I had a good time catching up with family in Japan and seeing some nice places. I bought so much stuff I was scared they were going to weigh my carry on baggage on the flight home haha.
Hope I can go back soon and see my cousins again
Have a wonderful weekend everyone!

Going to Japan and Other News
At the very least I'll be sharing some photos, so you know I haven't disappeared off the face of the earth.
Class has also broken up for the Easter holiday, hence I'm in Japan for that time.
Also, wild bit of news for the few people who follow The Splintered Path of Fate, and know Zero generally. I managed to track down a podcast that's hosting his voice actor Christopher Kromer in the next few weeks? I sent in a few questions; I'm literally buzzing with excitement.
Hope all of you are well and that you have a pleasant rest of your week!
