I decided to open commissions again!
As some of you know, the dollar in Mexico is now 18 pesos, and has been rising and rising ever since last year. I need to save money to pay for my bills, my upcoming trips to conventions in the US, my trip to Japan on July, and other expenses that seem almost impossible  now... It would help me a lot if you guys commissioned me! I will give you unlimited slots so don't hesitate to ask! 
Here's the details:
Commissions by Heldrad

Send me a note or an email if you're interested! Thank you very much!!

I just realized Orange Junk reached 15 chapters this month! I can't believe I've gotten this far :'D
If some of you remember, my first webcomic was Cloe Remembrance, and it had only 12 chapters, which I completed in 7 years!! 
Now with Orange Junk, I've been working on it for 4 years and I've completed 15 chapters so far ;A; I'm so proud of myself! LMAO 
It feels so nostalgic looking back at my old comics. When I was drawing Cloe, my style was so messy and it changed every chapter x'D I remember the first chapters were drawn in pencil, then I switched to a messy traditional inking, and then I switched to Manga Studio. That story was also my first run at storytelling ;u; I learnt so much from it! 
Orange Junk has a more steady style, which may have gotten more simplified as time went by x'D... I feel like I draw their faces rounder now, and maybe less detailed <_< I must confess I've been rushing a bit lately, since now I have to keep a monthly schedule. I would really take my time drawing each page the first years, since I was not really committed to an actual schedule... I would only draw in my free time after school =v=~ I guess I had more freedom, but I also lacked discipline. I feel much more productive now! Who knew I could pull off making one chapter each month?? And also having a day job at the same time??
I learnt that everything is possible, with a bit of resolve :). This knowledge can only come with age, so I'm actually proud I'm 27 years now. It wasn't for nothing. I may be immature in other areas of my life, but I feel like I've worked hard towards my goals. I would've never imagined I would be a published author one day! :') I'm far from being there in the industry, though.. But I've taken the first step! 
Once Orange Junk is over I'll keep working hard in achieving that childhood dream of mine of becoming a mainstream well-known author *u*!
So many stories to tell! I hope at least one of them will find its place on the shelves of a famous library one day~ hohoho <3 (one day for sure!!)
But anyway... this is just me feeling nostalgic :')

Please look forward to the next chapters of Orange Junk!! And feel free to read my old comics and laugh at me on this site!
