Weekly Update! (2025-02-09) Working It Out
Slowly getting these things checked off! I'm hoping to have the Hall of Friends up this week, at least in some form, and hopefully the commission page soon. I know I've been promising that for a couple of months now, but Sketch on the Spot has been keeping things decently full up in the meantime, and I haven't really wanted to open up more intense commissions recently, just for stress reasons. But eventually I just gotta do it, because having the cash outweighs the stress of doing them, as long as I don't take a bunch in advance and keep on top of them by doing them one at a time. I know a lot of people have PMed me or e-mailed me about commissions recently, and I've just not had the social battery charge to respond to everyone just yet, because I would have just basically been telling people "no" over and over. Which, that's on me, and I apologize to anyone who's been waiting to see what I say. I will get to all of your messages when I'm not too tired to talk to people.
Also, on Thursday and Friday of this week, I am doing a Sketch on the Spot special for Valentine's Day. It will be simple two-character sketches for $30 USD. Nothing fancy or super involved, very quick and messy, but I thought it would be nice, so if you're a member of the discord, be sure to be there if you want to grab something. It'll be one sketch per person, so I'll try and get everyone who asks for one, though I can't guarentee that. I'll try though.
While it may be a tad late for this event, if you aren't a member of the discord, and you want to be, you can join my SubscribeStar for the low low price of $1. That will get you into the discord member area where you can vote on future things and see how I'm doing with various current projects.
Still got the comics on the docket, of course. It's been hard to work on them lately, because of financial stuff and sickness. I'm going to be trying to get this comic sequence I'm working on with Azure done, because it's been sitting for almost two years now (it doesn't seem like it, but it has) and I want to get it taken care of so we can reference it and work on other things together in the future. Then I want to finish the current chapter of Various Happenings and the current Episode of Clara Cosmos, which are both sitting in production right now. There just never seems to be enough time or energy, but we'll make it work.
I'm almost done uploading my 2024 pictures to the off-site galleries, and doing the ones for January 2025 shouldn't take that long. It's tedious and tiresome, but once I've caught up it should become much easier.
I do have the forum link on the front page now, if you want to sign up for that, and the stream link itself, if you're curious about that or need an easy place to access it. We're also going to be adding landing pages for my various projects on the front page as well, including some other work by friends of mine, which I hope you will all enjoy. So look to see those expanding in the future.
And that's really all that's going on right now. Things are still a bit stressful, and the future is uncertain in a lot of ways, but I'm just going to keep pressing forward. I still intend to make this a productive year.
It's still cold, but I hope you had a blessed Imbolc, and hopefully things will start to warm up (after this newest cold snap, I guess!)
Until next week!
