New Comic: Triune:
The last full week of April is upon us already! Not only that, but this usually the busiest time for me as well. Mostly because I have everything going on during this time, from finishing up and ordering Mail Club goodies to setting up next month's Patreon Rewards and videos, and also, of course, comic pages! Been working real hard lately.

This month, I'm also introducing a new comic called Triune. It will currently be exclusive to Patreon till I can reach a comfortable buffer and then will create it's own website for it like how I did here for Parallel Rift. I'm not tech savvy when it comes to websites, so will most likely do it again through Blogger since I find it easy to set up, update, and adjust as needed. Though now that the host has moved, we'll see how things go and when I may be able to do this next website. I still have to adjust this one as well so will need to start planning for that too. 

See? Busy >.<


Here's a small sneak peek of the new comic's prologue.
If you'd like to be right there and read this comic long before anyone else, then please do check out my Patreon. The Shortsword and up tiers will give you access to this new comic.

If all goes well, I should have one more video up this week as well. I am, thus far, doing rather well in staying on top of work for the most part and ensuring I'm still making enough comic pages each month to stay on top of my goal. I'm going to make it! I'm almost a 1/4th of the way to my yearly goal for Parallel Rift comic pages!

Thank you again for your patience <3

Stay creative!

More Content:
Another new week folks, another new page! Still rather far from being able to post comic pages 2x a week, but who knows, maybe one day. I did post a new video as well this past Saturday to both Youtube and Patreon.

Youtube Video Link -> Finishing an artwork from 13 years ago

I sadly forgot to add the tags for this video so I already know it will do poorly compared to the others. I do have a new video coming out this week, maybe even 2 new videos, depending on how quickly I can actually work and do edits. So we shall see. I'm still rather slow on the edits but am going to try a different way of recording my voice so hopefully I don't sound too quiet or like I'm half asleep all the time. It's generally difficult for me to sound "energetic" on mic as far as I feel when I hear it back. Every time I feel like I am sounding energetic in person, when I hear it back... it doesn't seem to capture it. Maybe it's just me or my brain being mean about it? Who knows.

 

Also, as a gentle reminder, this month's Mail Club features the Thunderbird postcard and feather sticker! This is for all $20 and over tier patrons. Patreon Link

Even if you can't do the Mail Club, the $2 tier is also exceptionally helpful! All tiers also earn you goodies and rewards as you desire so if you save up, you can also earn any stickers and prints I have available. I do early access videos and 10 early PR comic pages along with a comic that is currently exclusive to Patreon members only, so yeah, lots of cool things going on and your support helps to keep me funded for these endeavors and work toward showing up at cons in the future!

Thank you again for your patience <3

Returned from the Con:
As I had mentioned prior (I think) I was gone from the 4th to the 8th to a convention for my partner. I was just a handler and he's was in his fursuit. Since his eyesight is bad in the suite, I'm his eyes and voice for many things, along with carrying necessary stuff like water and small fans to help keep him cool inside the suite. I'll be talking in more depth about the con in a video this week, so patrons will have early access to that. It's not he first one I've gone to as a handler for my partner, but this one was smaller and overall, it was good. 

Now I'm back to setting up my routines and work schedules. There's a lot to do, but I do feel I can make it without too much difficulty. Having that amount of time off really does help to reset your desire to work again. I did do some sketching while at the con, but since I'm personally limited in what I can carry, that's all it was, was just a few rough doodles. Other artists there definitely were making masterpieces and amazing sketches with fancy tools I do not have, but that's quite alright. All the things I needed for Mail Club this month also arrived. My budget was rather limited this time around, so I wasn't able to order a whole lot this time, so this month is just a postcard and a sticker. I was able to resolve some other issues and I do have enough saved up for the Mail Club next month so the order then should be much better and hopefully more interesting. I hope. I'm still struggling to gain new patrons, but I'm trying. Exhibiting as much patience as I can muster, but it's still hard sometimes when others far younger than I am are doing so much better. I won't give up though. Not yet at least. 

Thank you again for your patience <3

Back to the Usual:
Thank you for allowing me to indulge in silly, breaking up this rather serious flashback scene...of which I'm sure some of you may never read the same again XD You're welcome

And yes, that is Modris! Out of all people Apricot could have fetched, he found Modris. I do admit, while I enjoyed doing this particular power pose of Modris...trying to figure out how to draw Fiacre looking up was a nightmare. I think it turned out okay, but definitely not the best and doesn't entirely ready as I'd like it to. I do hope this flashback does what it's meant to do, which is to give more a sense of gravity and connection as to why Fiacre feels he owes it to the nekomata to do what is necessary to save him. It's a lot deeper than just fighting off the strange creature in Modris' teahouse. Some action is coming right up after this, along with a bit more bickering, so I hope that'll be a little fun too.

Thank you again for your patience <3

April Fools:
Enjoy..

But don't worry, the real page will show up tomorrow. 
I had actually forgotten what day it was so this isn't a super funny prank, but I hope it brought at least some enjoyment for today!

Thank you for dealing with my shenanigans

March Crunch Week:
I may not be online much this last week of March as I clear out the rest of my work list. I still have 3 comic pages to do, 2 patron rewards, and the illustrations for April. Not to mention, complete the video that was supposed to come out last week AND do the video for the March Prompt summary. So yeah, crunch week! Lots of work and not a lot of time. Most of it was my own doing because I was lacking motivation for a couple weeks so only did enough to check off on my daily list...even though I know I had time to do more  >.> 

Yeah, yeah, lesson learned.
I did find some new methods to try come April to hopefully gain some huge productive days in less days. Essentially, what I did in college where you quite literally pump several classes of work into one single day. It's possible, but definitely requires planning and careful set up in order to survive such days, but I have 3 days planned in April for these hardcore work sessions. Nothing will disrupt me and I will use all my internal fight power to ensure my desire to be distracted doesn't rear its ugly head.

LASTLY, I'll be attending another furcon for my partner in early April. It shouldn't effect comic page posting, but letting you all know on the small chance it may. I have more than 2 months of pages ready, so in general, pages should post automatically...it's literally taken me 5 years to figure out this site can allow for set date postings >.< This would've been nice sooner, but ah well. So yeah. Though, for links to keep going properly, probably can only set 1 ahead post at a time, but that's enough.
Anyways...

Thank you!
Stay creative!
