Hey, guys. Alright, progress is going slow. In fact, I think that comic #1 will have to be separated into two parts and shortly extended to fill both pages. I’m just trying to go through some processes right now and I’ll try and post some work and the comic as soon as possible. I’ve been drawing a lot more lately, but most of the drawings are still works in progress. Unfortunately, therefore, I may only be able to post one thing starting off next month. I’ve been trying to experiment with some new techniques and styles, so that’s one of the main reasons why it’s been so long since I’ve posted. I’ve also been planning on something big, but it will have to be released in due time. I can’t say what yet, but all I can tell you is that it’s going to be a gift for somebody. I’m also trying to get a comic and a design done for Kerwin’s, “Lil’ Demon Sisters” and that’s been taking up my “To-Do” list for a while now. I am working on them (believe me, I’ve had to skip a page several times and finally rip it out of my book to work on that design and I’ve had to hide the comic I’m doing as well), but I can’t get to that right now. I’m really just trying to focus on my comic right now, but I’m definitely trying my best to make everybody happy. I appreciate those who support my cause, so I thank you guys who do. I’ll go now, but buzz me if you really want to help me with that comic or anything else! I’m open anytime I’m on, Skype ID being “GNStheShow” or just search “GabrielNovakStudios” on the Skype directory. I’ll be sure to get to those who are willing to do some business for me and, if the comic ends up making profit, will be sure to get a cut out of the deal. I’m not that great with money, but I can assure you that I will not rip anyone off. I also have a contact email, which is: gabrielnovakstudios@gmail.com. Please, I really need to help right now and it would be much appreciated if you could help out. Thank you guys so much, I’ll try to post more updates soon. Goodbye, everybody!

I'm almost done with the first comic strip of Crime Tarders, guys! If anyone wants to help with the comic, please feel free to contact me and I'll be sure to get back to you! I'm almost done with the outlining of the first page of the first strip of the comic, and I'll send it to whoever is helping when I finish. If you want to help, thank you for considering it. I appreciate all of the support, guys, and I hope you guys have a terrific day today! See ya, buh bye!!!...

Ok, the comic is going well. Surprisingly, I think I'm going to get this one done in less time then I got "Emo & Cat"! I've already finished the script, a friend of mine has to finish the cover, and I'm working on the sketching and outlining. All that needs to be done at that point is that the comic needs to be sent over, colored, and it'll be perfect and ready to post! Just be patient, guys... We'll try to get it finished. For now, I wish all of you good luck during this difficult time of year and I just want to say thanks for all of the support I've received from all of you awesome people! I truthfully appreciate it.

   Hello, everyone! Long time no see, I know... Believe me, though, I am working hard to get things released to you guys and gals. I'll try not to make this a long update, but I guess time can never tell, right? Alright, here's the basic lowdown...

   I think you all have already heard about the cancellation of my comic series, "The Emo & The Cat", yes? So, I'm sorry again that that ship had to sail... However, that leads to some good news, hopefully. I'm probably going to make a new comic, depending on how things go. I can't tell you what it is at the moment, but I can tell you guys this much... The tards are coming. Oh yes, they are.

   As of that topic, I just want you guys to know that I never want to be a flake towards anyone or anything anymore. I'm so sick of making promises I can't keep, and I know I do it a lot so it makes me feel like I fail you guys constantly. I'm really stuck on a lot of current projects at the moment, as I've said before, and I want to get out of this downward spiral I've created for myself. Once I can clear up everything I've got on my plate (which may take however long), I'll be back in business and I'll try to get things for Clide & Leo and other concepts rolling again. I don't want you guys to ever think that I'm not reliable, because, believe me, I want to be as reliable to others as possible. I think part of the reason why I'm in this pickle in the first place is because I just want to do so much for others that I don't think I can handle it, for the most part. I just wanted to say, short and simply, that I apologize for the lack of content and I'll try to boost up progress again as soon as possible! You guys are truthfully why I've gotten this far, so thank you so much! I appreciate every little message of feedback, every note, every friend or client I gain. I really do. Thanks again, you guys are rockstars.

   Anywho, another thing I'd like to clear up is my lack of posts in general. This is mostly because I've been realizing some things about life and I've been trying to really live my life for once rather that waste it, for the most part. I'm not saying that I don't enjoy doing this, because I enjoy it more than anything in the world... Literally! But it's just like I feel that I've been missing out on so much in the world that I just want to experience more of the world. That's partially why I'm never online on Skype anymore, other than the fact that we haven't had any actual internet for around 3 months, so it's been difficult. Truthfully, I just want things to work out for me, but at the same time I want things to work out for all of you as well. I want you guys to be just as happy with my work as I am. I want to be happy with your guys' work as much as you do! So for everyone I haven't talk to in over half a year, for the most part, I didn't want to come off as careless and I'm constantly sorry that I'm like that now... Please, if you guys have any suggestions, pointers, tips, anything that you want to share with me, then never feel hesitant! Like I said before, I really do not mind the feedback I receive from the awesome ones of you guys. So again, for the final time in this journal already, thank you guys so much. My fans really mean a lot to me.

  Thank you guys for taking the time out of your day-to-day lives to read this journal. Happy Holidays to you guys, and have a very Happy New Year! My resolution this year: improve upon my current mistakes.

~September 35th, 20132~
------------------------

HOLY SHIT, GABE, AN UPDATE ALREADY? WOW, OK. YOU'RE A FUCKING FAGGOT!

~October 3rd, 2013~
--------------------

Sorry about that, my completely imaginary cousin wanted to say something. Anyway, so I've been feeling like a total asshole leaving you guys hanging for so long about my whereabouts (if that's how you spell it) and I just wanted to say my sincerest apologies to those who are actually fans of mine who are expecting new content (which, as you guys may know, I've been failing to release for a while). I've been trying to get some request work done for some people and then I also have character designs to draw afterwards, so, unfortunately, yes... It may take a little while to get a cartoon released. On the upside, I'm making October (this month, if you didn't know) Art Project Month for me! Which is a good thing for you guys, and a painful experience for me. Basically, I'm going to make this month the month of finishing any and all current requests and projects so I can just get all of that shit out of the way! Yay! I've been working by the days, and I'm crossing more and more things off of my checklist. So, I'll be able to work on other projects after October as long as things go to plan! I feel extremely lazy and untalented for not getting any actual cartoons done, so again I give my sincerest apologies. Until next time, I'm gone. I'll keep in touch. Oh, and if China takes over due to the government shutdown, then I guess that all of this was pointless. See you guys later.

Hey you guys, Gabe here... I'm just going to go ahead and take this time to say that I've done a lot of dumb shit in the past and that I've done stuff that I'm not proud of that have made me look very selfish and ignorant. I promise to you guys that I'm a relatively smart and caring person, and a great deal of the time, I know what I'm talking about. If I come off as some ignorant 14 year old on the Internet trying to be funny, that sounds pretty accurate. I think that it's about time that I start taking things seriously, and one of those things is going to be the quality of my personality. Thanks to all of those who have stuck around with me all of this time, I really couldn't have gotten this far without each and every one of you. Thank you guys so much, I couldn't say it enough.

As for cartoons, progress has been going pretty slow. I mean, I'm working my fair share, but it's been going slow due to things coming up, my internet shutting off for 2 weeks, and just that fact that the projects I thought I took seriously I just don't anymore because it seems like writing garbage to me. I am working on two animated projects right now, one of them still in the writing and planning stages. As most of you may have already seen of my current cartoons, I was still in the learning process of the world of pretty moving pictures, so I promise that whatever content I release next, you guys will really enjoy it as well as myself. If any of you have anything to ask me or anything to say, I'm always listening.

Also, Ive gotten some more musical projects finished, so if I release them and you guys like them, then thanks. If not, then that's ok, they just dont enjoy it. Most of them are remixes so far, so they aren't that great anyway. As for everything else that I'm working on, I might be working with the talented artist, Zero Ground, again soon so that's going to be interesting. That's about it for all of that, so thank you so much for reading everyone, I'll write to ya' later.

Hey guys, Gabe here. This update's probably going to be a short one, so it won't waste much of your time. I quit T.O.F.A, for those of you wondering, because I had a lot more on my plate at the time and other projects to work on, which, one of them, you people may have already seen. It's also about time in which I told a lot of you that business with my comics and such has been slow running mainly due to the reasoning of family and work issues, along with going back to school. I promise, however, that I'll get content that means something out soon (and I think that a lot of you fans of WinWin and Mr. Maxwell Clemens will like a new project of mine being released). I'm working on more music as well for your dumb ears to listen to, so when you're done doing what you're doing, then you can come talk to me about that kind of stuff on Skype or somewhere else. Anyway, I'm going into High School this year, so that's going to be kind of a fun and surprisingly different experience. High School is going to be a huge leap for me from prematurity to complete maturity, if all goes well. It'll open my eyes a lot more about the real world, but for now I'm going to be an ignorant, yet mature, teenager. However, I do understand that times change and people change, so don't be thinking differently about me, now. Again, thank you all so much for the support you've given me along the way, guys. It really does mean a lot to me, you don't even know the half of it. If it weren't for your stupid opinions, my early career wouldn't have seen this beautiful day! I'm kidding, but seriously if any of you have anything to ask me or you want me to do something for you at any time, never hesitate to speak up. It's the least I can do for you guys, considering that you all have gotten me so far. I can't thank any of you enough for what you have done, so this is what I'm offering for being such great fans. Thanks for reading, as usual, I'll see you guys on the other side.

Hey world. Gabe here, and I've got some news. I just got done planning out the future for Clide & Leo and... let's just say, there's a whole lot planned for the series (in fact, too much planned at the moment that could get difficult with the story), but with so little time to spare for the ideas... so I've been given some pretty big opportunities recently and passing them up wouldn't get me much of anywhere with the ideas that I want to make for you guys. So, unfortunately, I'm going to have to postpone work and such detail on the series until I've got a decent number of things done and when I've done my part on other projects. I know that I may have been disappointing with my promises a lot of the time, but believe me, it's just gotta happen in the future... I'm sorry... However, we currently do have seasons planned and positions open, so if you're interested in taking any part of the series, than you can contact me by note or Skype messaging! I'm open for conversating!

I also wanted to let you guys know that I signed up for TOFA on June 23rd this year, which means that I'll be competing in an animation tournament facing several other animators in the next span of months, so wish me luck guys! ThePivotsXXD, if you've ever heard of that awesome faggot, recrutied me to the tournament, so if I've got anybody to thank for this lifechanging opportunity, it's him. You guys have also gotten me this far, so thank all of you so much... being known by people really brightens up my days every morning that I wake up because I keep the thought of my fans (no matter how many there are) and the fact that they root for me to go farther with my ideas on my mind on a daily basis. I am now spending a great portion of my life trying to entertain you guys and trying to update you dreamers about what I'm doing constantly because this is truthfully what I love to do... This is truthfully one thing in my life that actually brings joy and chance for a great future for me and you guys, so I don't know if I'd still be doing this if it weren't for your support. Thank you guys so much for the support, I would've never gotten here without you... Wish me tons of luck, guys, because I'm going to need it.

As for other projects, I'm actually getting one more voice actor for one of my projects at the moment and I'm actually, as far as I'm concerned, 75% done with another one of my smaller cartoon projects called "The Dinner Date" which I've already completed storyboarding and lip syncing to. That's the only spoiler I'm giving you, DON'T RUIN IT! I've also completed some CLIDE & LEO Newgrounds Custom Preloaders for any of you animators who want to give them a try! The link to download the zip file will be put right here: http://www.4shared.com/rar/EV7JALFF/Clide__Leo_P ack.html. There are several other projects that I'm working on also, but it would be bad to spoil these ones because of their opportunity holding concepts. However, I can tell you that I'm not the creator of one of the concepts, but I'm the animator of his silly little internet cartoon short! I help write, produce, and co-direct the toon, but the credit does not rightfully belong to me. The credit will go to it's rightful owner apon the video's release. Well, anyway, moving on now...

I may not be able to work on Clide & Leo at the moment, but, however, I'm still always open for commissions! I do wallpapers, T-Shirt designs, portraits, beyond ordinary portraits, coffee mugs, voice acting roles for specific characters if you need any help with some toons of yourselve's, Custom Newgrounds Preloaders, animation collabs or trades, art collabs or trades, musical composition, and anything else you want to hit me up with on DeviantART or Skype messaging. If anyone, and I mean anyone, wants to drop me a line for something you want of me, never feel hesitant to ask me about it. I'm always up for helping out a friend or fan of mine! Anytime is a good time to me! Just make sure that you don't drop any sudden bombs on me at the last minute, I hate that shit too much to even explain... Just drop me a line anytime and I might just be able to help you out whenever I get the time aside from projects! By the way, I'll do it free of charge... ^^

I would also like to inform all of you that there will be a period of time in July when I'm on vacation with my family to go to Laughlin, Nevada, which is pretty much on the border of Arizona and Nevada (my home state). I'll be camping for at least two weeks over there in these next following weeks, so I may not be online for a while when I'm there. However, I will jump straight to any business that I need to attend to as soon as we get back, so don't worry about any lack of completion for any requests, commissions, or project collabs! That, however, is all I can tell you at the moment, so I'm going to leave this little update off with a bang... Barel Demonthorn's story is currently 10% complete, but there is still much work to do on the storyline. Thanks again, guys, and I'll see you guys in the near future. Oh, and one more thing... watch out, because I'm going to spam all of your DeviantART inboxes with artwork... Sorry. Hope that you fellas had a roule happy Idependence Day, you rat scallions! I hope it was a great one for you guys!

Hello, and welcome again to another one of my exciting updates and thanks for joining me!... I know it's been a while since I've done one of these, but believe me when I tell you that I'll try to make up for my crumby decisions. Now, you guys want more Emo & Cat? Well, you're getting it! On June 7th, I'm releasing a new comic, so stay cool until then ya hear?... The first comic this season will actually be made by a guest artist with my help, so it's going to be kind of a different style. YOU EXCITED YET?! You guys want Clide & Leo to come already? Well, then I need your help, people. I am currently calling ALL animators that want to help me make my dream possible help me make it possible! I'm being legitimate here, it could mean big opportunities for you and me alike in the future when it's finally released. If you want more information or if you have any questions for me, contact me on DeviantART and I'll try to reply to you as soon as possible with whatever you need. Speaking of Clide & Leo, we are still holding voice auditions for characters in the series, so if you feel like you could be the voice for the face then contact me on DeviantART and I just might tell you where to send me your audio file from there. Oh, anyway...

As many of you DeviantART fans may know already, I have resigned from composing the Bloody Rose soundtrack... Now, I'M STILL doing music for it, but I'm just unfortunately not doing the music anymore. Jazmin understood my situation and everything I've been currently going through, however, so I hope that she can find somebody to do just as great or a better job on the soundtrack then I did... I will be making a couple of final pieces to the OST and I will officially have to stop there. It was a great adventure while it lasted, but unfortunately (like most subjects) some things just have to come to come to an end. I have been trying to work on a few "surprise" character designs for the series, though, so I hope she's stoked about that!... It's been a pleasure writing some music for the series. Thanks for the opportunity, Jazmin, and thanks for all of your guys' support.

You guys know that stupid little idea that I had a little while back called "Barel Demonthorn" that I never got to work on? Well guess what I'm going to make it into in the distant future?... That's right, a movie! Yes, I'm planning on writing the script and coming up with ideas revolving around the topic with Kerwin Thompson (A.K.A. WinWinStudios, [link], Garren Novak (GmannyTheAnimator, [link], and Jazmin Hopkins to give you guys the best 2D animated film that could ever be shown on screen in a few years! If this becomes a real thing, I will just kiss you all in the face for all of the support you have given me in the past... Will Barel Demonthorn be able to become a normal citizen, or will he have to take the thrown as ruler of hell? The answer prevails, but one thing is for sure... I promise that this will not disappoint...

I might be holding more livestreams over the summer considering that schoolwork won't be a problem for me anymore. If you want to follow up on my Livestream, you can try to check out my Livestream here: [link] and check up on any updates up on that page there. Thank you guys so much for your support on my work, it just means so much to me that you guys would think so much of a small minded guy like me and his ideas... Thanks for reading guys, and I'll see you guys later.

As many of you might have seen from my profile, I'm composing the entire soundtrack to "Bloody Rose", a very kickass anime series. I've already put the theme song up on Newgrounds and soon be up on YouTube for all of you dumbasses who really love the website so much. Heh, anyway... For what it's worth, I know it's not the best theme for an anime you or I have ever heard. The sole purpose of the sorrowful and action like feelings from the song are the emotions that are expressed through he story of the series and the composition becoming it's very own theme song with help from me. Of coarse, however, I am not the creator of the series in any way. I am basically the series' promoter, a voice actor for the character Cilmo, as well as the musical composer (well, there will be other songs by other supporters, but I make the main ninematic orchestras and sounds), audio mixer, and sound effects composer. I will also help out with animation for the show, storyboarding and scriptwriting as well a these other jobs, so pretty much I've put a lot of work on myself... The official series creator is of the name Jazmin Hopkins and can be checked out here: Jazmin's Newgrounds

Ha! Funny, right?... Right?...... Ok.

Also, don't think that I'm not working on projects on my own because I most definitely am! I'm currently working on a surprise cartoon short that actually may be rather nostalgic to many viewers that like it. It's a parody of a very familiar cartoon that maybe a lot of you could remember. No spoilers, though, so just keep the thought in your heads that I'm currently working on projects still. Oh, and one more thing... If any of you want to help me whatsoever with anything going from animating to voice acting, please feel free to contact me ANYTIME you want and I may take it into consideration. I don't mind at all! If you really want to contact me, you can send me an email or contact me on my Skype (the ID is on my page here, so you can just use that as a spoiler)... Thanks for reading, and so long!
