I'll be honest - I'll really miss it here, but I think it's time to move on.

Here's a little FAQ for you guys. (Playing this out like Alex Hirsch did when he announced the end of Gravity Falls XD)

FAQ:

Q: Wait, but your PERMANENTLY leaving? Are you sure you won't come back?

A: No. I'm actually not sure. There may come a time when I decide I want to return, but right now, I want to leave.

Q: Was it something someone did to annoy you?

A: Nope. I just think it's time to move on from this place.

Q: Where else can we find you?

A: There's a whoooole list of other sites I use in my gallery description! Please keep an eye out for when they are updated soon. I may also upload something about them soon.

Q: Do you have a dA?

A: No, not currently. I am in the process of making one. I'm just lazy x3

Q: Are you giving out any of your old characters??

A: There aren't any that I can really think of that I'd like to give out, as most of them belong to my story/future comic.

(Continued,)

Q: Are you going to keep the name Kestrelblaze?

A: No, actually, I am planning on changing it back to my original name here, which was Arashi-kun! I want to be remembered that way.

Q: What art program are you going to use, if not Colors?

A: I plan to actually use Colors still. I just won't upload my paintings publicly. So you'll have to follow my Instagram or deviantART if you want to keep seeing my art!
I have big improvements planned.

If anyone has ANY more questions for me, /please/ don't hesitate to ask! I will answer them below.

Thanks again for a wonderful 4 years.
I will upload at least one more painting after this, to tell you what my new deviantART is, (since I don't have it made yet,) and where else you can find me....etc, etc.

BUT your getting so much better with drawing cats and such! oh god well i cant stop you from leaving.. so... have a good life my friend. ill miss you. :)

Aww... Well do you have any name ideas for your DA account? I'd like to view your artwork somewhere if not on Colors. Q,Q

;u; well, I accept your decision and I won't stop you. All that I can say is... I'm gonna miss your art, cuz its pretty damn cool. and also, you're soooo much braver than me about leaving ^^;

This sucks

Please don't go! Colors won't be the same without you.

but danny boy *eyes water* nuuu

i really wanna dA, but idk if it requires a labtob or something better than a tablet to make. i think i'll wait for when i raise enough money for a labtop just in case. maybe i'll get a drawing tablet, too, so my art can be more... y'know, advanced & junk.
but yeah, sometimes we gotta move on & thats fine w/ me! :D i wonder when im gonna get courage to leave this place lol :p

I'll really miss you! I hope you have the best of luck!

i'll miss you

ah fair enough, i understand. I wish you lots of luck with your future art! keep doing what you're doing :)

re: oh. xD im still gonna wait though. :p

Aww, I'll miss you, bro!

Aw man I'll rly miss seeing u here buddy!At least i'll see u on instagram tho uvu
I'll also make sure to tell you when I finish your request :3

re: aw im so sorry!

Re: Yes, I was looking up felines in order to make them look a bit more powerful. Thank you for the compliment though :)

Ah I feel ya bro. I haven't been very active here myself and it really does look like it's declining. I'm not even on here much either lol as you know XD.

Re: It's no problem :) I'm not mad or anything xD

Hey hun, I'm really late seeing this, but I'll be sure to follow your other links. I actually consider you a friend, so I don't want to lose all connections

Ah, cool, they actually left this toxicity. I hope Flibnote Switch gets out soon enough. And I severley hope an LCD touchscreen means Nintendo is returning to their DS type touchpad, it would greatly reduce the manufacturing cost of materials. (Not to mention, magnet-lock controllers would damage a capacitive touchscreen on Switch 2)
