you have done so much for a lot of people who love Underserve/Xtale and it means a lot to me and everyone, we would never forget your hard work and Nyx's. you both inspire me so much and you both deserve this break, i hope you both will be safe and well and I'm definitely gonna watch Underverse 0.8 Part 1 on the weekend because of school but spoilers never bothered me cause i get to see peoples art of it who love and support you both. i am forever grateful for everything you and Nyx have done and I'm excited for your original project and Xtale stuff. thank you both for everything and i hope for good things for you both <3
Now that Underverse 0.8 Part 1 is finally out, it’s time for me to step back and take a break from the series. It’s a bittersweet decision... seeing the amazing reaction to this episode makes me want to dive right into animating the next parts. But I know if I do, I’ll fall back into the same cycle of emotional burnout I’ve faced over the years. To break that draining routine, I need to stop for a moment. Underverse will be on HIATUS FOR 1 YEAR AND A HALF.
HOWEVER! I’m not disappearing entirely! I’ll still be working on the XTALE 21 YEARS comic, hosting Ask the Xtale Gang events, and occasionally creating short animated content. This break will also give me a chance to focus on my original project, METADORA.
I’d be lying if I say I'm a little worried about people forgetting the series during the hiatus. But I need this break, and I can’t thank you all enough for your continued support and encouragement. Even during tough times, knowing that this project was born from a mix of improvisation and silliness, has brought joy and inspiration to so many people reminds me of my purpose in this world. And I want to keep doing that until the end.
I hope to return with renewed passion and strength to finish this journey that has taught me so much not only as an artist, but as a person as well.
Thank you for being with me.
See you until 2026.
