Week 3:

While I'm still working on catching up, I have at least made progress so things are going alright. At least for the crucial stuff that is. Mail Club things will begin to be sent out during this week with additional stuff as soon as it arrives and/or is completed. I will be working on comic pages again real soon as the goal to conclude this arc still stands. For the time being Triune is once again on the back burner, but I will get there when I can.

In other news, we had to have our pipes fixed in the house. They were showing some dangerous signs and we didn't need another to burst unexpectedly. So they're fixed now and we're at least all good in that area. Otherwise, all else has just been focused on catching up on work while attempting to obtain new work for the near future. I have hopes and for now, just need 1 trusted client to get me going and hopefully it can snowball after that. Dogs seem to have fully recovered at this time as well, but one cat, Mochi, is still having high congestion days. We're still unable to figure out what triggered allergies with her, but we're trying and keeping an eye on her in the meantime. 

Thank you for everyone's support and patience!

Week 2:

It hardly feels as though I've completed anything at all this past week, but I've done plenty. Just the downside is is also that the dogs have been unwell so there's been some issues there. They seem to be doing better, one is at least fully fine again, but the other, we're still having some problems with. It's not really anything new, but we're sure that whatever upset their stomachs at the same time recently, is lingering longer in the other since he already has a sensitive stomach to begin with. Tried just rice and chicken...nope, he upchucked the rice, chicken was fine. Tried just broth...upchucked that. It's like anything you'd consider generally fine for dogs to have when their stomachs are upset, he can't have it. He honestly makes no sense. His sister is fine though, which is what becomes annoying at times. It doesn't help that they're also starting to get up there in age for dogs at their size, but if all goes well, we should still easily get another 6+ years with them. They're currently 6 and 7, and their daddy is still alive at age 12, so there's hope. Some of their other siblings have similar issues so it seems to run in the family in parts, depending on if they took on more mixed dog traits or more chow traits. 

Other than that, I'll just be working as much as I can. There's lots to do and lots to plan for, so I'll be busy. I have everything from Patreon to comics and raffle prize things to do, so yeah, lots going on and always feels like there's not enough time XD

Thank you for everyone's support and patience!

September:

With the art raffle now concluded for a winner, I'm looking forward to the artwork I'll be doing for that, but among that, there's much I need to catch up. I currently have no more buffer pages for Patreon so will definitely be doing that, but first will be to conclude my last mentor meeting. I do feel that overall, it went really well and I learned a lot so I hope, if all goes well in the near future, I'll be able to save up more and continue the mentorship further. At this time though, finances just won't allow for it, but hopefully soon. Though, I would have taken a month break anyway just to see how well the information stuck and how applicable it actually is to me. Consider it like a test trial before continuing to see if this particular mentor is the right one for me for the future. 

Beyond that, the Renaissance Festival will be going on each weekend till the end of the month still, so all work has to be concluded during the weekdays. I do hope to clear out a few things but I don't expect to entirely catch up. Just do better than what I did before now that I won't have homework as the necessary primary focus so the other work I need to do can finally stop breathing down my neck XD

Thank you for everyone's support and patience!

Homework:

This past week presented a lot of homework for me and various things to figure out, but I feel I've at least managed the minimum, though hope to push a bit more forward today. Overall, things have been alright. It's been good I've been making a wee bit extra. The savings...is well, gone now pretty much as my mum needed the money for vet bills again and house bills. She keeps making herself overwhelmed by thinking she has a billion tasks to do in a day when many of the things she tells me she has to do are either several days away or even weeks away. It's been mentally difficult to deal with at times because I'd like to help her, but I need to be able to help myself first...and not to mention, I can't help her with her mental things. We did at least manage a therapist and she's also getting physical therapy as she's lost of a lot of muscle and thus her body has become weak. You can imagine the danger when you're frail and have a 45+ kg dog who has medical issues of her own. Despite how often I remind her as well, her dog will never heal from thyroid problems and will need the meds the rest of her life, but she likes to think she can solve it through some holistic means or eventually stopping the medication. Not gonna happen, sad to say. 

It's been like this on and off all year, but I do hope it lessens at some point. She's become toxic to be around and thus, here we are >.< Oh well, I manage at least and am trying what I can when I can. I do notice the homework and progress has opened my eyes to a few things I've generally either neglected to consider with my art, or forgot at some point for one reason or another. Probably mostly complacency since I no longer see other artists in person, except maybe 1x a year as of an off chance. 

I'm still surviving though. Bit by bit so don't worry!

Also, as shown above, I'm holding an ART RAFFLE on my bluesky for reaching 200+ followers!  I look forward to this raffle. There's some wonderful characters in the comments already!

Festivities:

Look look! Finally, a new preview to a different future page is here XD

It only took an eternity and a half....jokes aside, I am getting new pages together as we speak, including some additional Patreon content as well. It's been slow going but the pace is steadily picking up once again.

Not much else to report at this time, but hopefully more content soon! Much of it right now seems to be preparation things, but it's at least been going steady and I hope to catch up decently by the end of September.

Thank you for everyone's support and patience!

Sorry for The Past Few Pages:

As I was going through things, I noticed that in a few of the past pages before this one...Fiacre just doesn't seem...quite right. I've taken note of it to fix it when this book ends, so please do not worry for the future. If I ever go to print one day, if I can afford to do so, then I do want to make sure certain things at least remain consistent. I can't say what happened back then given many of these pages were done several months ago now. Maybe I was tired? Maybe I was art blind? It's honestly hard to say, but it does happen clearly. XD I'm at least aware and I'll make sure to fix it when I can. 

Commissions are now concluded at this time so I'll be planning for work for September as necessary and the rest of this month will be for Mail Club arts and comic pages. I have quite a few pages to catch up on so will be doing my best. This coming weekend will also mark the start of our local Renaissance Festival once more so after that, my weekends will be booked most days till close to the end of September. While I generally only go as an attendee, I go to also take notes, sketch, and gather reference. Of course it's fun for me too. It won't hinder whatever work I do during the week at least :3

So yeah, going to be busy, busy, busy!!

Also, as shown above, I'm holding an ART RAFFLE on my bluesky for reaching 200+ followers! If you want the stats on how long it took me to reach this number, I looked it up myself out of curiosity. I reached 100 in August of 2024 and held the raffle in September, so it took me about 11 months to gain this current number :3 A tiny bit less than a year! I know in some cases when it came to some socials I used in the past, it would take me far longer, so that's pretty cool it took a bit less time. We'll see how it goes for 300! I do plan to keep holding art raffles at each 100 milestone so long as it doesn't get too out of hand, but if it keeps up this leisure pace, it'll be no problem at all. I look forward to this raffle. There's some wonderful characters in the comments already!

Other than that, my mentorship has also officially begun for this month! I will see how it goes and I'm pretty excited to see what comes out of it. Depending on how it all goes, I hope to be able to save up more in the future for additional mentorships, but for now, 1 month will have to do as that's all the damage my wallet could take XD 
On the upside, I've at least been reaching my required monthly minimum at this time, so I'm thankful for the progress and I hope to keep pushing this into next year. Maybe even be able to raise my minimum sometime next year and by doing so, give more comic, patreon, and video time! Heck yeah!

Thank you for everyone's support and patience!
