What Happens Now · 3:26am Aug 31st, 2014
So a lot of people are asking for a sequel to Shadow's Enigma. I'm certainly not against it, in fact, I want to continue the story. I have so much more left to write about Sombra in this incarnation.

Now that all of Sombra's past is revealed, there will be some who still have questions about him. This blog is here for the sole purpose of answering them. Ask away and I will respond along with adding them to the blog itself.
Okay, so it might have taken me a while, but like I said, things got a little complicated this week But enough of that, now the sketches are finally done! And with a four way tie no less.
Vampire Sombra
So it's been two days since I posted the blog about Sombra's new outfits. Here are the choices:
1. Dracula costume
2. Fancy suit, top hat and all
3. Trixie cosplay
4. Twilight's Starswirl the bearded outfit
5. Cadence's wedding dress / Elsa's dress
6. Chancellor Puddinghead outfit
7. Commander Hurricane outfit
8. One of Sean's popular media cosplay
9. Regalia of the Tyrant of the Frozen North (My version of it)
10. Granny Smith's Girdle
Ya'll heard Pinkie! Write down any ideas you might have, anything is viable. After a short period of time, a day or two, I will put up a poll with all the outfits and allow every one to vote, the top three will get sketched out by yours truly.
So yes, I am a little late in updating Shadow's Enigma, and I deeply apologize about that. I know I usually update every 2-3 days, but things just got super hectic in my life recently, not to mention that I was having a hard time actually starting off the chapter. I simply could not seem to direct the conversation between Sombra and Twilight in the direction I wanted to. I scraped quite a few chapters beginnings in the process. I think I finally got it down, but I'm not done with the chapter
So Moongaze14 and Kniznik were getting into quite the argument about Sombra's past. Well, like Kniznik "hinted" at, yes I am making a one shot that explains what happened after Elite's banishment, but unlike all my previous works, will have some oddities.
So as you all know, Sombra got a new look at the start of the Gala arc, but I'm not sure if I managed to describe it as well as I think I did. So to make sure you all know how he looks, I drew it!
Like most of my drawings, it's a sketch.
What do ya'll think?
Finally! It took FOREVER to finish the sketch on my computer. It might look a little simple, but I think it show's my Sombra's personality well, don't ya'll?

So when I replied to someone's comment about having writer's block it came to me that you guys have seen me complain a few times and I haven't exactly told you how I dealt with it, I had simply 'gotten over it'. That is in fact not true. As my name would suggest, I sketch. I love to sketch. And when I have the dreaded writer's block, I relieve some stress by sketching!
Here are some of the things I drew recently.
I find it kind of funny that I've been slowly turning up the rating from "everyone" to "teen", then the sub rating of "Gore" because of the recent chapters. I'm starting to wonder if i should also add the "dark" tag too lol
So this last chapter I posted left at a pretty bad cliffhanger, I was actually planning to post both chapters back to back, but unfortunately....I ended up refreshing the page where I was working on the next part by accident. I was almost done too! I hate when this happens. Gah, I'll just give writing a break for now. I'll read some fics I need to catch up on to clear my mind of these frustrations so it doesn't affect my writing by trying to speed write it all again.
Hi ya'll, so while I write I like to listen to music to help keep my thoughts flowing, and I came across this little gem. It's pretty old, so some people might have heard/seen it already, but I could not help but feel like it fit my fic so perfectly! Just imagine the song is from Sombra's perspective and you'll see what I mean.
For those wondering, the next chapter is well on it's way, give it a couple of hours
So I was trying to finish another chapter before going off to California, but I got stuck. I know you guys are used to an update every two to three days, and believe me I did try to give you guys a new more happy chapter to wash away that sad taste in your mouth from the previous one, but I hit a small bump on the road XP I'm sorry, I hope you can find it in your heart to forgive me. I too am excited about reaching the end of the story (And your reactions lol) so bare with me a while longer.
When I first started "Shadow's Enigma" I wanted to make a romance fic about Sombra with a focus on his origin story, thus the name I gave the fic that can otherwise be written as "Sombra's Mystery" for those that had not gotten it. I wanted to give Sombra this tragic backstory that explained his actions and give him complex emotions and thoughts. (Things other Sombras tend to lack in some of the fics I've read. Note I don't mean ALL of the fics I've read, please don't feel like I'm attacking
I am on a roll, getting some chapters in on my story is nice. I say with a heavy heart not to expect this all the time. I have ample amount of free time early this week, so I'm using it to continue the story, but after that I'll probably be back to updating every two to three days. Just letting ya'll know so you guys don't get all worked up about me starting to slow down again :P
I've been pondering the thought of adding a prologue, to give the story a more serious undertone from the rather "peppy" atmosphere the first few chapters give. I'm not sure though, I feel like adding a prologue would subtract from what's already there. What are you're thoughts? Do you guys think I should add a prologue to give more details over what led up to the events in the first chapter or do as I planned and explain them over the course of the story?
Took me a while to sketch something for my stories. I had never done any really cover art, just sketches here and there. I think they came out great, but then again, I am biased :P Now that that is over, maybe I can get back into writing, get some more chapters uploaded on my stories. Let me know what you think!
So it seems the initial reaction to my new story dealing with Sombra's reformation wasn't very good and got a lot of dislikes XP After a quick critique from a friendly reviewer I got it looking pretty nicely, rather, how I wanted it to look. I really should try wording things better both figuratively and visually. Lots of people seem to have favorite it soon afterward, I just hope the initial few dislikes don't impact it too too much.
