I'll never forgive Apple for making Flash unprofitable on mobile devices. Never.
My vices are also my virtues...

Yeah honestly they really fucked flash developers over with that one, even so adobe should have prepared for the upcoming mobile phone market revolution, instead of just hoping it would be a fad that would die out...
It's too bad that this is going to be your last series, and I have to agree with what Nevermind said. If you have trouble finding a job in your specialized field, just get a regular one as a means to support yourself.
Life can be so cruel...
Well you said this is a hobby right? Then get your new job and just upload a drawing every month or so. I mean, you obviously like doing art considering you made all this stuff. You will find a way to get a decent job and do some form of art little by little each day. Or you could become just a "blogger" on here....
Still what ever you decide-never forget your time on Newgrounds :)
I might, it's hard to say, newgrounds has always been such an important part of my life, so I doubt I would ever give up on it completely but I need to get my priorities straight first.
OH wowza that looks NEAT! O_O Can't wait already!
Thanks man!
Although it is very disheartening to hear your resolve to "put down the pen", I completely understand where you're coming from. We live in a time where one has to put their own dreams and talents on hold for a world that never slows down, no matter how aggressively you fight to be different or to go against the grain. One has to put their needs ahead of their wants. I sincerely hope this is not the end of Celx-Requin, but if it is, I want you to know how awe inspiring your art, your storytelling, and your brilliance altogether is to me. I love your work, and hope to see it again, but I will enjoy every second of this last part in a FANTASTIC trilogy... also, I'm not sure what it is, but messaging you or commenting on your submissions makes me want to write very... differently. Definitely not the way I speak...
It was a tough decision to make, that I hope will be for the best.
Aside from the issues I stated above, I'm also running out of stories to tell; and I don't see the point on continuing something just for the sake of continuing on something.
After I completed "CoolJaw" some people started asking for a sequel, or at least something in the same vein. "CoolJaw" was pretty popular, I'm sure I could have kept it going for a while longer, and garnered a much larger fanbase had I done that instead of working on "The Sugar Claws".
However, I said everything I wanted to say with "CoolJaw" which is why I decided to end it, the idea of keeping a story going once it's lost it's relevance never interested me.
This saga I've been working on for these last few years is very important to me, which is why I've continued working to complete it despite how much time, and money it's cost me.
The trilogy was always meant to end at "A Twisted Transparency", and all the stories are intertwined for a reason, afterwards I'm going to take some time off to figure out some things.
I will never stop loving the arts, but I won't continue working on projects just for the sake of doing so, it's hard to say what the future will hold; but everything needs to end eventually.
Do you still like being an artist? Reading this I doubt that.
Anyway, I'm looking forward to A Twisted Transparency. It sounds really good, especially with those sound effects and the animation.
I do enjoy being an artist, but it's about priorities...
A Twisted Transparency is gonna blow people away!
Thanks,

sad to read this...all the best in whatever you do

I'm writing this after days of sleepless night filled with self hatred and sobbing. I look forward to this final installment. I know with times like these that put aside creativity and stories in favor of instant gratification and passionless jobs that people desire for the sake of status it's a tough choice to make. Though I wouldn't put down the pen permanently, you never know what's going to strike. However I'm sure there are many others who'll find these stories rather refreshing then the droll bouncing breasts and mindless shooting/romances that gracefully play out on the dirty silk screen that's riddled with holes and moths. I want to thank you for helping me put some of my stories together in flash. No matter how much I tried I could never figure it out myself. Then again I'm not that smart. I only hope that I wasn't a burden to you and wish you the best my dear.
Until then, take care.
Well this last part of the trilogy is gonna be a "shooter/romance", but I'm hoping it's gonna be subversive, and avoid some of the cliches prevalent in the genre.
I'm not putting aside my work in order to pursue a passionless job, or for the sake of status; I'm doing so because I think I will be happier.
It was no problem, it was my pleasure helping you out, and in the future I hope I you know I'll still be there to help you develop as an artist in whatever way I can.
Hang in there, keep at developing your skills, and I'm sure you be able to get into a profession that makes you happy.
Lots of love,

Anticipating work from you as always. I don't have a lot to say at the moment but I'm sure I will in a month's time.
Looking forward to it man :)
