Heya peeps!


Well, last week was a bit rough!  I was sick for most of it and kind of out of it in general, which means I didn’t get much done… on task, at least.  I’m sure you all saw what I did get done, but was kind of on a lark, so I’ll try to stay on task this week.  (I tend to just do whatever makes me feel better during those times, and I was getting frustrated with work (commissions, the growth drive, etc.) so I didn’t make much progress with that.)


We’ll take care of that this week, though; I’ve been doing much better and I feel better than I did physically and mentally, so we’ll make sure to get some stuff slammed out and get a move on with things.  (This month has been a bit rough in general for that.)


I had planned on working on the growth drive but I got toasted pretty early in the week, so I’ll be adding everything from this week’s views and such to the totals (it won’t change much), and since I closed the poll early, Subscribers who want to add their points for the first week who didn’t get a chance can just PM me, or choose the option from the next poll when it’s released.  (But I was going to do that anyway, so that doesn’t really change anything, either.)


I apologize for the delay, but tripping straight out of the gate is so very much like me, so let’s just get past it and carry on!  I’ll work on it during a stream or two this week, and make sure it gets done.


As for the rest of the work, let’s have a look:

Salisha: Durex Date #2 - (Jessie Hart x Bakeneko Spooky) [#2023-015] (In Progress!)


We’re still sitting at seven pieces, most of which are in some stage of completion.  While I don’t expect to finish everything by the end of the month, I hope to, at least, knock out two things by the end of the week.


By the end of the year, I hope to have everything finished, and enough of a buffer on my comics to begin regular updates at the new year.  I was hoping by the end of November, but being sick kind of put a damper on that.


This week, of course, is Thanksgiving, so I’ll be taking Thursday off, but the MWF streams should continue as usual.  Sketch on the Spot has been a great success and I will continue refining it a bit (I’m going a tad overboard, as usual, so I want to streamline a bit and get more pieces out so that more people get a shot each week.)  Hopefully once I get settled in, everything will start to go a bit more smoothly.


I’ll see about updating the Discount Bin and adjusting things here and there to make them more SotS friendly as well, and the SotS Backlog Stream will be on the 27th of November (one week from tomorrow) so if anyone wants to get their sketches from this month cleaned up, lemme know.


I hope you all are doing well, and for those of you in the states, I hope your Thanksgiving is a good one, or at the very least, unobtrusive.  I hope autumn is treating you well, and I’ll see you all next week!

Hey there, peeps!


Well I have to say last week went rather well!  SotS was a success and I’ll be doing my best to keep it up so that I can build up funds for new equipment and such!  


My current rig is getting a bit rough around the edges and I seriously need to replace my tablet and monitor, at the very least, so I’m building up for that, along with saving for the printer.


I’m also doing a Growth Drive, which I’m sure you’ve seen, so check that out if that’s your thing.  Even if you don’t want to/can’t donate or aren’t subscribed, just peeking in to join the fun is appreciated.


The commission list is growing ever shorter and the hope that these things will be wrapped up by the end of the month seems ever more likely!


Let’s have a look.

Salisha: Durex Date #2 - (Jessie Hart x Bakeneko Spooky) [#2023-015] (In Progress!)
Anzu: Assorted Occurances [#2023-052] (Complete!)


We completed a fair few things this week, and we’ve gotten close to finishing off quite a few others!


This week was also very good for comic work, as I’ve scripted a fair few Clara Cosmos comics and have the buffer for both comics scripted out completely!  I got a bit more blocked out in Various Happenings as well and am progressing toward the lineart stage fairly soon, so I’m hoping everything will coalesce heading towards the new year!


There’s a lot going on, and the holidays are coming up but it’s all very exciting and I’m trying to keep myself as busy as possible so that I can hit next year as hard as possible.


This week, my roommate Dicy is going out of town on business and will be away until Friday, so in order to help with Tigre and the little one, I’m not going to be streaming until Friday for SotS.  I’ll be working on stuff off stream, but I need to be available to help with the little one and such, since Dicy won’t be there to do stuff as he usually would, but he’ll be coming back sometime Friday evening, so I feel as though SotS should be able to continue unabated. 


That’s what’s going on right now.  I’ve been a bit sick lately, with a sore throat and some sinus trouble, but I’ve been trying to take it easy and take care of myself, and hopefully it won’t last too long!


That’s all for now!  Stay tuned for more fun stuff, and I’ll see you all next week~!

Heyo fox friends!


We’re heading towards winter-time and things are moving along! One and a half months into my “year of self-investment” and already we’re down to eight items left on the list and some serious progress towards my comic buffer! It seems like it’s been longer than that, but no, there’s just been a lot going on.


Still, I am sorry for the fickleness of my moods, and I have been hopping all over the list. There are just some times when certain content resonates, and sometimes when it doesn’t. But we’ll get through all of it, and I’ll do my best to present high quality work!


Let’s have a look at that list.

Salisha: Durex Date #2 - (Jessie Hart x Bakeneko Spooky) [#2023-015] (In Progress!)

Anzu: Assorted Occurances [Not Yet Issued]


We’re almost done with Anzu’s set, just a little more now and some clean-up. The Conception Foundation comics I have in the works have been sitting for a bit due to my muse being reluctant. Hopefully I’ll get the inkling to cut loose on them pretty soon. I’ll do my best either way, but my stream watchers had been rather swamped in that for a bit, and I wanted to give them a break, too.


Speaking of streams, though, starting this week I’ll be, once again, doing Sketch on the Spot on Fridays! Come in, relax, and get a pic drawn! It’s that simple!


Rules work the same as they did, with some minor adjustments:


1. Join the Discord server! To do so you either have to apply via a form that I’ll open up at the end of every month, ask me directly (providing I’m familiar with you; I won’t let you in if I have no idea who you are) or get someone in the server to vouch for you. Alternatively, you can join our SubscribeStar (for as little as a dollar!) and automatically get an invite to the discord server. [You must be 18 or older to apply.]


2. Ask to be on the List! PM me or ask me in chat, and I’ll put you on the list for your spot.


3. Wait for the Announcement! I usually stream starting around 9AM CST, and I will generally make an announcement about 30 minutes to an hour in advance. You can get the Stream Subscriber role to be alerted whenever I make these announcements.


4. Let Me Know that You’re Ready! Post in the appropriate channel/thread that you’re here and ready. Let me know what you’re planning on getting, and I’ll consult the list and ping the people at the top, going in order for whoever is around.


5. Sit Back and Enjoy! I’ll stream the pictures on my Jottor and you can hang out and chat, or just watch and enjoy the doodling!


6. Give Money, Get Picture! Once it’s done, I’ll invoice you and once it’s paid, I’ll dropbox/PM you the picture! And just like that, art! Once your piece is done, I’ll move your name to the bottom of the list and you’ll slowly work your way back to the top as people’s pieces get finished. (You don’t have to make it all the way to the top of course, it just depends on who shows up.) [Any outstanding invoices will preclude further pictures until they’re paid.]


Each slot will be $20 USD and be good for one (1) character sketch with limited flat color. If you want a piece cleaned up, then you can ask for it when I have an open slot for standard commissions, and pay the difference in price at that time.


I’m hoping this will give a chance for people to commission me more and maintain some income, while not dramatically increasing my workload and preventing me from working on Various Happenings or Clara Cosmos as large commission numbers have done in the past. I’m going to try and do it on Fridays, but I might do an extra one early on in the week now and again, so that people who can’t usually catch it will be able to now and again.


I will still be knocking out the forms that are sitting in my files soon enough, after the current group is taken care of, of course.


I’ll be starting that on this Friday, though next week (Nov. 13 to Nov. 17) I will not be streaming at all due to my roommate being out of town on business, and having to help their wife take care of their child for the week (they’re quite a handful!)


Other than that, things are just going! Nothing more to report, I hope you all had a spooktacular Halloween, a reflective Samhain, and are enjoying the fall weather.


Those of you in the US, don’t forget to vote on Tuesday! It’s an off season year, but local and municipal elections are still very important and perhaps affect you the most directly! So go vote!


Thanks for reading, everyone! Take care of yourselves, and I’ll see you next week!

Hey there, fox friends! Alright! Got a little bit of time off last week and was able to celebrate my roommate’s birthday, get some nice time in the park, and look at some thrift shops and such! It was good! I’m feeling pretty nice! Last week was a little low impact.

Got some project work done, but mostly I took it easy, save for the stream on Friday where we chipped away at the commission list.

Let’s have a look at that for a moment:

As y’all can see, hasn’t moved much, everything is still in a state of being worked on, though a few of them are really close.  I’m going to try and nail down a few of the large pieces this week and see if I can finally get those off my list.


I’ve also got a couple that are getting pretty close to done, so hopefully, the plan is that by the end of November, the list is going to be finished, and hopefully the buffer for Various Happenings and Clara will be complete or almost done as well.


Three months of updates for two comics, plus all my commissions, in three months is pretty damn good, honestly!  But that’s very ambitious, and we’ll see if it happens.  I won’t be broken up if it doesn’t, but I’m hoping that things will continue moving forward at the pace that they have been.


Work on the site has been proceeding as well, and I’ve been working on the gallery and a few other things behind the scenes.


Obviously there’s a lot to be done, and I’ve got a lot of old work that needs to be scanned and uploaded as well.


Still, we’re trucking along well, and I hope that things wrap up nicely soon.


Not much else to say, really.  Just the usual, keeping on keeping on.


I’ll have a little announcement next week, hopefully punctuated by a smaller list, but we’ll get to that when we do.  This week I’ll probably do some spooky Halloweeny themed stuff for the stream on Monday (maybe Tuesday, too, we’ll see how I feel) and then continue on the rest of the week like normal.


I hope y’all are doing alright heading into winter, and that you’re taking care of yourselves!


I’ll see you next week!  Stay spoopy, peeps~! >:3

Hey there peeps and beeps!


Things are going along pretty well! We’re almost to the spookiest part of the year and I’m feeling pretty good, I have to say!


I’ve gotten through all of my deviantArt notes at this point, and I’m going through my comments on Inkbunny! Unfortunately, the other galleries that I’m on have less… manageable systems, but I also have a much smaller presence on them, so I’ll see what I can do (or need to do) when it comes to them next.


Commissions have been progressing well! Let’s have a look there.

As you can see, I’ve knocked out another one and added more or less the rest of the list to the in progress section (save for one that needs to be recorded for ElBoberto, and the second one for Salisha.) Been a bit gung-ho on my projects lately so my muse has been all over the place, but soon we'll be cleared out completely!


I’m not going to let myself get into any dire straits trying to grind this stuff down, though. Starting in November, I’ll be switching things up! Old fans may know what’s up, but we’ll keep it a secret for now…


As for the poll stuff from last week… I’d been a bit excited, to be perfectly honest, and I intend to do it at some point, but after working on it for a bit, I kind of wore myself on it, so for right now I think we’ll save it for a rainy day.


Still have the site and comics to work on, and I’m doing plenty of personal stuff in between that, too! So there will be plenty coming down the pipeline.


Going to just do two streams this week. One day is my roommate’s birthday, and I’d like to relax a little bit. I don’t really have all that much to say that I didn’t say last week, so that’s it for now.


Take care of yourselves, and thanks for listening!

So just something silly related to the last few sets of dubious canonicity (like "Pop the Bop"). I know what I want to do (and probably will) but I want to see what other ideas people are interested in. Just a couple of questions!

Hey there peeps!


Progress! It is being made!


So I’m working on tidying up and properly managing my gallery sites (including the one on my website!) This means I’m going back through and checking all my notifications, a little everyday. So far it’s been progressing well! I’m cutting down on a lot of the unanswered comments and finding some really fun art pieces that I’ve missed out on! It’s been very fun!


Of course, if you found out I answered a REALLY old comment, I’m sorry if that’s kind of awkward. I’m trying to go back through and clear out all my comments and at least say something to them. I might not get ALL of them (or I might stop once they get far too old for it not to be weird, maybe like more than a year old unless I really have something to say about it) but if you were wondering, that’s why!


I do try and read everything people post, I’m just kind of shy and I also have a really hard time figuring out what to say sometimes, so I tend to read comments and just… forget to respond. But I do still appreciate it and I’m happy to see what y’all have to say about my stuff!


I also really don’t answer a lot of the communications from dA, just so y’all know, because I was inundated with offers to make NFTs there and it was just godawful, so I stopped paying attention to my private messages there (also their notification/pm interface is horrible.) So I’ll try to go through there soon and respond to things, but if you want to contact me, note me on a different site (FA, IB, what have you.) I’ll be more likely to see it then.


My commissions and other art are coming out well, too! Let’s take a look at the list…

About a dozen left on the list now, with a quarter of those in some stage of completion! I still have a few items on the forms to grab after I finish off these, but then I’ll be totally cleared out! Once that’s done, I’ll be ready to rework the Discount Bin and unlock that again as I look into other ways of pulling in cash for the future!


As far as projects go, I’ve almost got half of the current chapter in Various Happenings blocked out as well, along with a few Clara Cosmos strips to boot! I’ll be ready to do the lineart for these soon enough, so we’ll see how far I get through them this month! Things are progressing quickly, and as long as I keep chipping away at things, eventually it’ll all be ready to go. Just have to keep at it and not get discouraged. Y’all have been enjoying my flights of fancy as well, so even those have been a worthy endeavor, if a bit silly!


I’ve been mostly playing things by ear, so I’ll continue to do that and the calendar won’t be updated yet (I also want to have a different display for stuff and try and play around with the site look a little but I decided against the one I was going to do so I have to come up with something else first!) Still, things have been working out so far!


So we’re going to keep at it! I hope you’re all doing well, and please take care of yourselves!


See you next week!

Hey peeps!


Wow, what a week back! It was a lot of work, but I’m very happy with the progress we made over the last week. There was a lot of fun stuff and a few of the in-progress pieces were finished, or at least had a big chunk taken out of them, so I’m really pleased with that! I’ve still got a lot of stuff to do here at the house, but honestly, it hasn’t been too much trouble balancing things with my on stream work, so that's been pretty great!


There's nothing unusual coming up this week, so let’s go ahead and take a look at the list!

Norithics: Princess Cocoa Doppled Pin-Up [#2023-032] (Complete!)

Turner: Cass, Under Pressure [#2023-042] (Complete!)

Anzu: Assorted Occurances [Not Yet Issued]


Catching up has been slow but steady! The list is being compressed rather nicely, and once we’ve caught up to the late line, I can start to pull the last few things from the submissions, and we can see about getting those taken care of as well until I have an entirely clean slate to work with!


I’ve been working on my buffer, too! I’ve already got three pages for Various Happenings in the blocking stage, and two strips for Clara Cosmos, too! I want to continue to work on those as much as possible until I’m sitting on a nice solid three month buffer of strips to start putting out once a week for the both of them! I’m hoping that’ll be taken care of by the end of the month, but there’s a lot going on, so I’m just going to try my best. Every little bit of progress is still progress, and without the constant treadmill of work, we might actually be able to make headway for once!


Since it’s October, I’ll also be trying to get the quarterly survey out next week, so y’all be on the lookout for that! I hope it'll be more coherant than last time!


As for the Spooky month, well yours truly would be remiss if she didn’t do SOMETHING, I guess… though I haven’t decided on just what yet. The last few Halloween sales have been… exhausting, and I didn’t do last year’s because it took me forever to recover from the previous year’s just due to my tooth problems, but I’m not counting it out. If I come up with anything, I’ll let y’all know closer to the end of the month, even if it’s just a Halloween themed stream or something. No promises, though!


Still, everything’s going surprisingly well, and after the sheer panic and nightmarish stress that was the move, all this stuff seems pretty friggin’ mundane! I feel like I can do just about anything!


So we’ll see what happens! We can do this!


Thanks again for reading, and I’ll see you next week!

Hey everyone!


I’m friggin’ BACK. I have successfully made the trip from the far south to the midwest and after several weeks of pain, I’m finally getting settled in and getting a chance to get back to doing what I do best.


It was harrowing, it is very expensive to travel, the rental market is a fucking racket and you have to spend money to make money but we’re finally here in the creakiest old house we could get and ready to go.


So begins my year of working on projects and bettering myself to see if I can’t make this whole thing a more self-sustaining enterprise without me grinding my ghost ass down into ectopowder. X.x


My schedule is going to be a bit nebulous at first because I’m going to be getting up a lot earlier than I generally was and I don’t know what sort of help I’m going to have to be around the house with Tigre and the kid during the first week, so we’ll just have to play it by ear a bit.  


My plan is to make work “blocks” and hit things hard during the week, with liberal breaks, in order to get my leftover commissions done and get work on projects going. I’m hoping to aim for 40 hours a week or about 13 to 14 three-hour sessions on different things. So hopefully it’ll all come together!


One of my first priorities is finishing up my commission list, naturally, so let’s see where we stand there.


2023


#006: Doc – Complete!

#010: Chacumera – On Hold for Payment.

#011: Doc – In Progress!

#013: Kennie – On Hold for Payment.

#015: Salisha – In Progress!

#016: Salisha – In Queue

#022: Spectrickster – In Queue

#026: [REDACTED] – In Progress!

- - - - - - - Late Line - - - - - - -

#032: Norithics – In Progress!

#033: Dakkath – In Conjunction with #034

#034: Shaze – In Queue

#035: Turner – In Queue

#037: Maldore - In Queue

#038: ElBoberto - In Queue

#039: Aspira - In Queue

#040: Radec - In Queue

#041: MadCoil - In Queue


Credit: Doc - $320


Discount Bin


Salisha: Durex Date #2 - (Jessie Hart x Bakeneko Spooky) [#2023-015] (In Progress!)

Norithics: Princess Cocoa Doppled Pin-Up [#2023-032] (In Progress!)

Turner: Cass, Under Pressure [Not Yet Issued]

Anzu: Assorted Occurances [Not Yet Issued]


As you can see, the list is still pretty hefty, but it’s coming down slowly. I’ll be chipping away at it, while also grinding away the discount bin stuff I have planned and coming up with new items to place on it. If you put in a form but I didn’t check in with you, as I complete things I’ll be adding the remaining orders to the list. I just want to keep things fresh and make sure I don’t get burnt out.


The money that I make now will be going towards improving my business and investing in things like new equipment for work as well as making merchandise as well as investing in my health and getting myself in a good place for future projects.


Back to work, I’ll be focusing on a large picture set for Doc and two Conception Foundation sets for Salisha and another client. These have all been in process way too long, so I’m hoping that now that the move is no longer hanging over my head, I’ll be able to properly focus and really enjoy the process.


I’d just been having a hard time concentrating for the last few months, knowing that this was coming and I was under the gun, but now that’s all over and I can finally just get back to drawing!


After that, we’ll burn the list down one by one. I’ve got a few personal pieces I want to do streams for, and we might get to see the return of an old favorite on Fridays coming up, so that’ll be fun.


I’ll also be doing Various Happenings and Clara blocks, some on stream, some by myself, in order to get that three month buffer going on both of them. I’ll have to see how much work I can put out, but hopefully, I can get some momentum going.


Anyway, that’s what’s going on. I’m back, peeps! I hope you’re all doing wonderful, the weather up here is lovely and I’m so happy to see fall once again.


Take care of yourselves! Until next week!

Hello there, fox friends!


The week has arrived, and we’re making the final preparations for the coming move! We’ve already packed up a large number of boxes and moved them into the den, and now we’re just getting the remaining things from the various rooms and moving them forward so we can check off each one in sequence as we clean it out.


On Thursday, we’ll have our last run through and our last normal night here before getting everything completely packed away on Friday morning. The handyman will come and inspect the place then and then we’ll be off!


We’ll be making two hotel stops along the way and should arrive in the metro Chicago area on Sunday evening. From there we’ll be staying in an AirBnB for a week as we try to nail down a place that we can stay for about year or so until we can find something a bit more stable.


I don’t know how long it’ll be before I can make regular updates again. I’m hoping that we’ll be settled in a new place by the Sunday after next, at least enough for me to get my computer set up, but it could take a lot longer than that.


I will be able to work on things as soon as I get my equipment set up, of course, and I will, so at that point it’ll just be whether or not I have internet access aside from my phone.


Depending on the provider and the situation, it could happen quickly or it could take a week or so, maybe longer. I’m hoping that’s not the case, but I’ll be doing my best to keep everyone up to date on the situation.

I didn’t get as much as I would have liked to get done, but I’m at least satisfied with the quality of the work that was done.


The bigger sequences will have to wait, but I’m going to be chipping away at those as soon as I have access to my computer again on the other end of things.


It’ll be a big upheaval, no doubt. I’m going to be changing my process and how I organize myself a bit, but hopefully it’ll be a change for the better.


Finishing the list and returning to my comic projects are my number one priority after the dust settles, so I hope to see all of you on the other side of that. It’s been a crazy month, and it’s going to be another crazy one, but I hope once October rolls around that this ghost will be back in full force!


We’ll have to see when we get there.


I’ll try my best to post short messages so y’all can keep tabs on me, though I may not have access to update the site for a bit. We’ll see what happens, but I’ll post journals on my various galleries, and I’ll be on Discord for sure.


I’ll do my best to take care of myself and be safe, and when I see y’all next, I’ll be happy to update y'all with any new developments!


Let’s hit the road!

Until next time, then!
