The Commander Says Goodbye
I’m not going to lie, I’m extremely anxious as i’m writing this, out of what these news could mean to a lot of people, and my heart feels heavy enough it could drop down my ribcage any minute from now and squish all my other organs. But I’ve been dancing around this topic for a long time now, and I think i’ve finally reached a point where i can’t ignore it anymore, for my own sake.
I hereby announce Commander Yes has come to an end.
As I’ve mentioned plenty of times before, here and to many other people, when I began this comic all the way back in 2018 I was in a really bad, really low place in my life in every sense of the word, and it was a spur-of-the moment decision to cheer myself up, because Path of Fire had just released and my enjoyment of the game had reached fever pitch and I had been playing Guild Wars 2 alone since as far as launch, and none of my other friends had ever really gotten into it. I guess I just, dunno, cried out into the big maelstrom of the community, one voice amidst millions, because i wanted SOMEBODY to look at what i did and revel in the nerdery with me.
And somehow the snowball began to roll and people wanted more and more of what I could do, and I was being actively reached out to, and, well, some time after that I landed my first ever job, I discovered a lot of things about myself, and I found myself in communities that welcomed me with open arms, and many of the people in there have since become among the best friends I could’ve possibly encountered, kindred souls who i’ve shared joys and sorrows for many years and who I can’t imagine living without anymore.
And all the while I kept making the comics, and with every entry posted every week I’d keep having people stopping to comment on them, and whether they were dumb jokes or personal takes on the story, they’d all share how much what I do kept hitting them in the kokoro, and to this day whenever I play anywhere in the game I still get people who recognize me and thank me for doing what I do. It was wonderful, it IS wonderful, and seeing that response motivated me to keep going, because what did still mattered to people, out there.
But I did always say I planned to keep doing these comics until I ran out of energy for them, and I think i’ve finally reached that point.
Because ever since I actually landed that job I’m exhausted and sleep-deprived every other day, so much so that I only have time to work on the comic on saturdays and sundays, and it gets harder and harder to just sit and draw, and at that point it was just more work, and while I still enjoy and play Guild Wars 2 a lot, it no longer consumes my time and attention like I’ve used to and i’ve been having fun with more personal projects, and honestly the direction the story is taking these days does not sit right with me and it’s hard to find inspiration in that, and this might be borderline selfish but every year I find people care less and less about the comics and it really takes a hit to you motivation when hardly anybody responds after you’ve spent a whole weekend trying to squeeze a five-page comic out.
And, well, I have been doing these for six years straight, and I think that’s a good run. I’m tired, and ready to move on, at long last. Let it be someone else’s turn.
But that’s the beautiful thing about this community, isn’t it? Even if I’m hanging up the hat, there are a whole lot of fantastic artists out there, as we speak, still cranking out works of art, deserving of all the attention they can get. And think of all the artists yet to come! For every story that ends, another story is just about to begin!
The world keeps on spinning, one way or another.
I’ll be closing my patreon shortly after this, but the reddit archives and tumblr blog shall remain for people to browse whenever they feel like (or until they both go in flames, i guess, what social media isn’t about to these days)
I still don’t think I ever was that much of a big deal, but all the same, to everyone who’s ever supported me and helped me be the person I am right now, to everyone who’s been there from the beginning, to all the devs of this game that has captured us for nearly a decade now, to all my fellow players and artists out there
Thank you.
See you out there, fellow commanders. Still the stars find their way.

Rubi Cunda, my brand new Sylvari together with her fluffy Moth. This might be my most vibrant work yet but that can also be because most of my characters all have monotone color schemes. :D Sponsored by ArenaNet

A little gift for @wilsons-journey for drawing my gal Mourynn so beautifully and drawing her TWICE too!!! So here's Wilson wearing a flower crown and lei made for her by Mourynn Berynn Griefstriker (since she can't shake off the Sylvari impulses, even while in Charr disguise). Extras under the cut

and have the bonus line art and coloured version without the flowers, since I didn't wanna waste these either!!
Also the Lei part of my name does in fact come from the flower necklace lsjflksldjf. I couldn't help but mention it since I drew one.

Some art of my main Guild Wars 2 character, a charr ranger named Wothorn!
Got a lineart comm a while ago and slapped some colours and shading on it, doing that was more therapeutic than any colouring book, ha.
Lineart by the incredible @wolfhidewinter

Runt, the Ronin
I like to make new cats. I needed a bladesworn Char and after watching a certain TV show on Netflix (Blue eye Samura) I had the mighty urge for a Samurai Char(r). It basicly made my Samurai obsession go brrr again. Kenshin would be another influence for his character.
More information below the cut:
He was born male, but his genes got a little bit fucked up, that gave him a lot of female appearance - altering his standing in his Fahrer. Additionally he was small and frail. No one took him seriously. No one, despite a group of other Charr that were considered runts of their litter.
In his early days Runt was a very jealous Charr. That jealousy made him blind for the good things he already had in his life. He soon started to hate everything around him and about himself.
While his Warband Mates learned to live with the constant shaming by the others - he never got over it. He starts to mistook the friendly teasing of his friends as insults. That hatred soon ended with him letting his warband die during a mission. He could’ve helped,... but he turned his back on them… and so becoming a gladium.
He realized to late, that he lost a family. They always stood at his side - no matter what. But his own hatred made him blind,... Deeply ashamed by his decision, he leaves the Legions and starts to roam the world.
On his travel he gets his ass kicked by a female human - a Samurai. They soon become friends and she teaches him the way of a Samurai. So he becomes a Bladesworn. That's also the moment he finally gets on the right path to be a better person. He tries to make up for his past mistakes with good deeds and tries to find peace with his flaws. He keeps the name Runt, in honor of his former Warband. Later people often only call him Ronin.
-
Some random lil facts about him:
In the beginning he was a bitch about his feminine appearance. He now embraces it and is proud of it. He is also very chill about it, if people refer to him as she / her. Sometimes he plays with it. (maybe also enjoy it a little.)
You can call him Runt or Ronin - he introduces himself as Runt the Ronin.
His horns often fall of, so you see him often without them or just with stumps
he always has a piece of wheat or other plant in his mouth
he loves to whistle little melodies
he is a good fighter, but also a big dork and sometimes very clumsy.
he sometimes is so clumsy, he made it his fighting style - irritate the enemy and then hit hard
he gets drunk very fast,... but insists he can take more. He can’t.
he has a very soft, feminine voice - but he snores like a trainwreck
he tries to be an honorable man, by training hard and meditate every day. And most importantly: Standing up for the weak. Even if he has to face a mighty foe. He will face the fight - no matter his chance. He will never run away or turn his back to people in need.
he often behaves peaceful and calm - but he actually has some OCD. But he goes after that silently. If you prevent him from that, he can get really frustrated.
he still suffers from his self-hatred, why he always put a happy face on. He actually tries to never show any other emotion than that. He want to be a beacon of hope.
he tends to give a lot - maybe even to much. Making him very vulnerable to exploit

Some guild characters. Uncertain on if sylvari are intended to have bone-teeth or not, but Onvkuce deserves them.

Happy holidays!
I hope you have some cozy days, with your favorite food and people around you! And if you have to face these days alone, I'm sending you some extra love and warm hugs! ♥
-- Some personal words under the cut
Also I want to thank you all for a wonderful year here on tumblr. You are awesome! ♥
Every fav, reblog or the kind and lovely words in the tags/comments fill me with joy. Thank you so much for that! I'm not always response to them, but I assure you: I read everything! And it makes me smile a lot - it also keeps me going.
I'm glad you enjoy my art and silly post - but also my Blorbos. I hope the next year is also filled with a lot of creativity! But I'm confident that the upcoming year will be good, too.
So much has changed - I managed to fight my anxiety and dark thoughts a little more. And with that my mental health is in a very good place, like it hasn't been for a long time.
I met so many lovely people via Discord, Tumblr or directly though the game. I'm so grateful to have you in my life. You cant imagine how much that means to me.
Thank you for taking me the way I am. Thank you for being patient with me. Thank you, from the bottom of my heart. ♥
Sending you a lot of love and warm hugs ♥ ♥ ♥

We can finally post our cards that with did as part of @gw2collective‘s Tyrian Tarot! Here are two of my Kings!
First one is Ogden Stonehealer as King of Cups.
Second, Evon Gnashblade as King of Pentacles.
I followed the traditional depiction of Marseilles’ Tarot and used those elements within both of my cards to interpret them.
More details can be found below:
