Holding on Time For Now:

For once, I have all the comic pages for Parallel Rift I generally want to complete each month, done. I'll be working on the other comics as well and a couple other things for patrons this week too. The main goal will be complete any remaining owed work. There's a few things left, but I do feel like I can make it. I've been concentrating better and holding much better focus on tasks than I have been. The work to get this far sure is well...work, but for me, necessary if I'm to reach my artistic goals one day. Especially to being able to post 2x a week.

I do also hold onto the plan that once this chapter and book 1 of PR is done, I'll take several months off. The hiatus for PR then while I work on book 2 I plan thus far to be around 8 months, maybe a full year. This will give me time to do a bunch of buffers AND fix up the current pages and this website. I've wanted to update this website for awhile now, but because I've been playing catching up for so long, it just hasn't been able to garner the attention it needs. I'll get there. In terms of numbers, I still have around 30-40 pages left of Book 1 for Parallel Rift to do. This is also including an epilogue, not just this current chapter, so there's still a bit of work, but I feel I can make it. I may still about a month behind in terms of page creation, but I do feel one of these months, I'll get the hang of things and really whip out those pages and catch right back. 

In other news, it is finally starting to warm up a bit around here too so I'll be preparing plants for the garden. I'll be trying again for a few vegetables, to see if I can get things to grow a wee bit better than they did last year. I wasn't paying attention much to time and such last year, so going to try much better with that this year. I'll at least start prepping the seeds and I'll go from there. I did also purchase some more chili rasbora for my fish tank so the group in there feels more at comfort being a larger group. The shrimp are multiplying like crazy and I probably have at least 10 female holding eggs, so that's a lot of new kids on the way. Some interesting colors have been popping up with those starting to hit their juvenile stages, so it's been interesting. 

Thank you for everyone's support and patience!

Moving Right Along:

Finally getting some pages done ahead of schedule, so creating a very slow of sure, backlog. Once this section of PR is done, I'll be going back to the edits that I started last year and clean things up before I move onto Book 2. It's taken me this long to see the end of Book 1 being so close, but we're going to get there! I do look forward to the events after this as they will surely be a bit more exciting than this current arc. The plot will thicken and the action will only increase as more unfolds and more is revealed! It's exciting to me so I hope you guys will enjoy it too. I think, at least if I estimate out properly, Book 2 will begin some time in 2026, so getting there. It should be nice.

In other news, I have reached this month's merch fund goal!

The YCHs for this month had been a huge success and have become terribly helpful in allowing me to sustain this goal until I can convince more patrons to join in the future to help stabilize this even better.

It's still going to be a busy month, so back to work for me and cranking things down and out as best as I can!

Thank you for everyone's support and patience!

A Few More Hiccups:

Of course, as soon as the merch arrived on the 2nd and I was ready to prep and send it...I realized the sticker sheets were too big for the envelopes I had so I had to order some envelopes too. I worked it out with the current Mail Club patrons so it'll be all right, but I can't believe I snoozed while ordering and missed the sticker sheet size. I'll have to pay more attention. May even turn paranoid about it after all these errors >.< Hope not.

Anyway though, so far, I'm slowly but surely catching up with comic pages. Currently I'm just staying on top of it but I would like to build some buffers. I've at least been going through owed work at a decent pace and just have a little bit more left before I can close commissions this month. I mean, look at this, this early in April! It's honestly pretty amazing and once that goal is reached, I'll be ordering this month's merch asap!

I think I'll be alright. Still waiting on a couple funds to come in so I'm sure once those process, it'll be perfect! Otherwise, the goal this month is to hammer out as many comic pages as I can and work harder than previous months so I can relax a wee bit come May and do some more outdoor things.

Till then, I hope everyone is enjoying their spring. Stay safe out there if you're having heavy storms this spring as we are and otherwise, hope to see you next week!

Thank you for everyone's support and patience!

After the Convention:

The long and yet short feeling weekend at the MCFC convention as a handler is over. Most of it went as smoothly as possible, but weather was not nice on pretty much all the days. We also even had a tornado warning on the last day, but it does appear that despite the severity of the storm that came through, damage was minimal in our area and on our way home. 
I was not able to table at this convention for various reasons but will aim to do so next year. That being said, I will be putting up on some unique Art Cards I made for if I had tabled and those will be up in my Ko-fi shop, so be sure to look out for them. They will require a mailing address as these are traditional art pieces, not prints! 

I was the handler for this silly big manokit dork, so be sure to check out they're Bluesky Social. I'll make sure to they post more updates and pictures from the convention as well.

With April just around the corner now, I am also preparing for the new month and the aim of $200 once again. While I don't expect much to sell from the shop itself, I do hope to at least sell some and up and coming YCHs to help cover costs. I have also been a bit more diligent in posting videos once more but still is slow to get back into doing them properly. Little bit at a time as they say. 

Thank you for everyone's support and patience!

Make Up Your Mind Weather!:

I mean that seriously! This past Friday, it was so warm, I was gardening outside with a teeshirt and still sweating just pulling weeds and prepping the garden patch for planting next month. Then, the weekend was filled with high winds, a couple okay storms and now we're back to snow and frozen temperatures as if that burst of heat never happened XD

I did discover that my hyacinths have survived this rather cold winter once more and so have a few of the pansies, but it does look like the large batch of pansies I had the past couple years has been near entirely wiped out thanks to weeds that popped up in late autumn last year. I do plan on planting lupine this year though and a few more sunflowers for the birds. It did seem to help quite a bit in keeping them for devouring the garden and leaving my vegetables alone.

Other than that, I'm still prepping a few last minute convention things and hopefully by the time I get there in about 2 weeks now, I'll be all ready to go. I definitely do expect to stumble and be very clumsy over the whole thing but practice makes perfect as they say. 

Still running a little short on funds this month, but who knows I may be able to make it up at the end of the month. It is pretty close and as discussed with current merch tier patrons on my Patreon, we've come to a happy and pleasing resolution due to me not being able to afford all the usual merch.

These last 2 YCHs are still also available from this month's YCH batch if you're interested. 

Feel free to contact me via any of my socials or email if you're interested. Payment is either Ko-fi or Paypal only.

Thank you for everyone's support and patience!
