Weekly Update! (2025-06-01) Rough on the Guts
https://www.foxsaliant.com/
Hey peeps, beeps, and bleeps!
This week has been pretty up and down, but somewhat rough overall. I’m just glad that everything’s better than it could have been.
So Memorial Day was pretty normal, with a hang-out stream and some other things. Then, Tuesday we went to the zoo, the lot of us, and had a pretty good time! There were a lot of free roaming birds (we saw geese, guinea fowl, and a couple large peacocks) and we saw some awesome seals and bears, along with some giraffes. We didn’t get to see everything, because the little one didn’t have that much patience, but it was still a nice time and the weather was lovely.
Wednesday I started to have a bit of a toothache come back that’s been lingering since last week. My teeth have been a bit bothersome lately due to me breaking one a while back, and some sinus issues have been causing a rather chronic bit of nerve pain there. It hasn’t been the worst it’s ever been (I don’t think I have enough teeth anymore for that), but still kind of tiring overall. Still, even so, commission progress was pretty good! Got some new stuff started and worked on the backlog a bit! Thanks to everyone for joining me for SotS on Friday, too!
Unfortunately, Tigre ended up getting food poisoning, which has been dogging her the entire latter half of the week off and on. She had to go to the hospital on Friday night, but they ruled out anything more serious, so that’s good at least (no pancreas, liver, or gallbladder issues or anything like that.) She’s still having a hard time, though, but hopefully it’ll work itself out with plenty of fluids and rest.
Since Dicy’s going to be getting home late the next couple of weeks, and Tigre’s sick, I’ll probably have to be extra attentive with the bean. I don’t know how that will affect my work, if it does at all, but I’ll just have to be extra flexible in case something comes up or things get derailed a bit.
Speaking of being flexible, I’d originally intended on working out a set of 8 bookmarks to print out and sell, but because it’s taken so long to organize things and I don’t know how much work or trial and error is going to be involved, I’m going to scale that back to offering two new bookmarks at a time just to dip my toes in the water. The two first ones will be Salifox and La Spoops, with the Fox Saliant Studios logo tiled on the back. I’ll finalize them and see how they look, and then we’ll start printing out the physicals and cutting them out and seeing if we need to laminate them or not.
The other six planned designs will come out two at a time, save for the Clara Cosmos and Spooky Static ones, which will each have their own set (unless I can think of a second design for them.) So we’ll cut these down into more bite size chunks as I experiment with the printer and creating physical items.
Was decompressing a bit from the project I was talking about last week, and also making sure financials were okay for the month. I want to nail down the end of Ch. 6 for Various Happenings now, and see about wrapping up the Sophie CV comic with Azure (or at least getting to a spot where she can continue with the writing.)
Still, things are continuing to get more stable and I’m actually starting to get ahead on financial stuff, so we’ll see if it keeps up, which will give me more breathing room to lean in on projects without tiring myself out.
Nothing particularly strange is coming up, though like I said, I might need to switch the schedule around on short notice, so keep a watch out in the Discord if you’re hunting for streams. Otherwise, I’ll see you all next week! Take care of yourselves and let’s start easing towards summer! (I feel like our spring got robbed this year, but it is what it is.)
Until next time!
