Well...the ARTD site is down. I have contacted Hiveworks to inform them about the issue but it might be a reminder to back up any works of Minna you enjoyed, since they can and might disappear when you least expect them to do so. I doubt it would be happening to the SSSS site anytime soon, but.

Both comics, ARTD and SSSS have lost popularity since Minna quit creating secular comics and focused on religious stories. Thus, site traffic lessened. Additionally Hiveworks is closing their publishing department so there is a possibility they will be cutting corners in other places and won't be publishing less popular comics (and ARTD was already becoming obscure during the run of SSSS). I don't think HW is responsible for the site issues as they still have the PDF of the ARTD book available in their store. Some creators such as pepurika and captainmera have quit already. The exact reasons are unknown to me, but creators quitting the publisher doesn't seem like a good sign. The situation is not looking too well for Minna's comics either.

I am putting the comic on an indefinite hiatus. I can't and won't promise I will return to drawing it. I'm leaving the site up for viewing as a testament to better, kinder times. Thank you for sticking around and maybe, just maybe I will see you again some other time in the future.

another art tip from yours truly; to make pose drawing exercises less of a torture make them silly. the more silly the better.
