Welcoem to posts!!
in the future - u will be able to do some more stuff here,,,!! like pat catgirl- i mean um yeah... for now u can only see others's posts :c
I'm here to announce that I will no longer be making MAP parts, and I'm going to be dropping any current parts I have, especially Warriors ones. This is a decision I've been considering for a long time, and recent events have only solidified my choice. Please read this entire statement before coming to any conclusions about what I believe in, and why I'm making this decision.
First off, I'm NOT leaving because I think the Warriors/MAP community is "too sensitive" or "hostile". The community SHOULD be hostile towards racists and other bigots, they have no place here and even people who unintentionally engage in those sorts of beliefs need to have consequences. My decision to leave isn't based on any belief that it's "unfair" for MAP hosts to kick participants for the above behaviors, and I want to make that perfectly clear. Again, I've been considering this for a while, and recent events only make up a small part of why I'm making this choice.
The main reason I'm stopping is because taking part in MAPs has become more exhausting than it is fun. I've stuck around as long as I have because I've always enjoyed the short nature of a part, and it was nice being able to finish a small animation and have it become a part of a larger project. MAPs are inherently collaborative- something that used to make them fun and relaxing for me- but nowadays it's too stressful knowing who is and isn't safe to work with. I can no longer work with someone in good conscience without doing an in depth background check- something that has taken its toll on me. In short, I'm stopping so that I can avoid putting a bunch of time and effort into a project when the creator could have views I don't agree with.
I know this is a long post, so thank you if you've read this far. I don't write this with any ill intent- I just want to avoid misunderstandings or assumptions that might be made about me if I made this announcement without any explanation. I will continue to post on this channel (although it will be much more infrequently), and will even continue making Warriors content, just in the form of short animations or PMVs rather than in the form of MAP parts.
Thank you to everyone who's supported me, and I hope you'll continue to do so in this new phase of my channel.

Hey guys, I doubt this comes as a surprise considering my recent inactivity but I'm going to be taking a semi-permanent hiatus from this channel. That doesn't just mean I won't be uploading; I won't be checking comments, watching videos, or logging onto this channel at all. If you really need to contact me, do so through discord or tumblr.
I really just need a break, and the way YouTube's algorithm incentivises frequent, consistent uploads was putting a lot of pressure on me to create. I'm hoping taking a step back will let me create things because I enjoy doing it, not because I want to get a certain number of views.
In the meantime, I have a tumblr (@cerkowah) for anyone interested in seeing the very occasional art I post there. I have several big projects I want to work on that I may post here when they're complete, but I don't make any promises.
Lastly, a huge thank you to everyone who's supported me over the years, yall have inspired me to do so much and I wouldn't be where I am today without your help. Thank you

Oh man I am sooo sorry I haven't been keeping up with this channel.. my back pain's been really bad lately and thats severely impacted how fast I can finish things (as well as my motivation to draw in general) so I really haven't finished anything for here all month, despite the plenty of ideas I have.
However! My birthdays coming up at the end of the month and I think I'm gonna use it to help me save up for my first ever screen tablet, so I don't need to be at my desk to draw, and I think that'll help with my back pain a Ton! With any luck I'll be able to get that by the start of summer so I'll be able to use my freetime to draw without it hurting and I'll be back to posting regularly again!

I'm gonna be unsubscribing from anyone who posts mcyt (especially dsmp) in the future. Since this applies to a handful of my mutuals i just wanna say there's no hard feelings I'm just really not comfortable seeing it appear in my feed, I hope you can understand that
