Hello! It’s been a long time since I last checked in on YouTube 🫡👀
To put it simply, I’m currently focusing on school. My schedule hasn’t been in support of me making MAP parts and full animations for the past (two??) years and I’ll be able to get back on track at least after I graduate from high school. Fortunately, that doesn’t mean I’m off from the community and I still post art pieces on other platforms. I think it’s a good time for me to share my two active social media accounts!
I recently made a Twitter account @GetLost_Saberoo. You can expect to see similar posts on there as the ones on my Instagram account with the same username .•☆ Be sure to check them out if you want to keep in touch!
Also, have I thanked everyone for the support and kind words up until this point? If not I’d like to clear that up!! I appreciate any form of support on my posts; I value them tremendously even if I often don’t show it (I get overwhelmed easily so I can’t always respond to everyone :’D)
Have a great day/night everyone!

Hiya! I just wanna thank everyone for the warm welcome back. I was really nervous about uploading an animation after a really long time, there was a huge pressure that I should've improved after the period; of course, I didn't bc I'd barely drawn anything :'D But it was really great to hear that it wasn't a problem <3
I'll make sure to sweep through the comment section once again. Just to let you know that even if I don't reply, I appreciate every single one of them!

Hey guys! Dw, this one's not a huge announcement.
I think I'll be able to get back to animating more actively. There aren't any important projects that I'm currently working on, but the motivation is coming back. Still, a 7-month art block feels way too long lol
I had finished an animation meme to (hopefully) end my hiatus a few days ago, just in case you've missed it. Btw I appreciate every positive feedback that everyone has shared, it's been a huge support for my motivation~!

Smoketrail - birthday boye
(it's supposed to be on April 25th lmao but okay)
I wanna thank everyone for the kind comments lately, it's been quite difficult for me to respond to all of them, but I wanna let you know that I read each comment completely and I really appreciate everyone.
I often miss comment replies and questions, though. If there's something I need to reply to, feel free to remind me!
cya, have a good day!

Hiya! I need to make an announcement, please read through ^^
Regarding my username, "Afrartis" is something I came up with back in 5th grade. It came straight out from urgency and I don't quite like how it turned out. It's been years and it just doesn't seem to click with me. People frequently mispronounce or misspell it, which really isn't a problem for me, but I do think I could've come up with something a lot more simple and easy to the eye.
You may notice that I've been going by the nickname "Roo" for a really long time and it's something I wanna keep. So instead of going by the username Afrartis, I'm thinking about going by Saberroo or Viaroo (please do give your opinions on which one's better though, I'd really appreciate it)
Also, I went off for quite some time to focus on my final exams. Since it's over, I'll be able to go back online. I haven't checked private messages on Discord and Instagram, nor continued working on my trades. So if I haven't replied to any questions or messages, feel free to remind me!

Hey, y'all! I just wanna let you know that I truly appreciate the kind comments and feedbacks that I get, they fr mean a lot to me. I went inactive for around 2 weeks and left some comments hangin' , I'm rly sorry about that! I'll get back in a min to check the comment section, dww.
Also, I've changed my main oc to this boy right here. I personally like him a lot more than Moonspot whom I can't quite click with. I'll be using him as the icon from now on!

hmpft Opentoonz and its habit of crashing
Man, I was so hyped about finishing this part, I had to animate flames, and they turned out well in the previews. I got to portray a different environment than usual, a burning forest. Since it had the potential of being atmospheric, I decided to focus on details such as fire sparks and smoke.
sorry that was kind of a show-off but I just wanna- share how much effort I put into this map part and how I was disappointed when Opentoonz crashed. It gave me a pop-up window and said "some files may be missing" but it's actually all of them lol. I expected it to be done tomorrow but oops, guess not.
I might have to start from scratch again :'D
Don't worry about it tho, I don't think I'll stress it out, maybe the rework would be better, who knows haha :3
(Also this screenshot isn't even close to my final progress but okay, well then)

Fyi, his name is Moonspot :3
