Dog Days

Dog Days

Hey guys, you likely haven't noticed since I'm working on a bunch of lower-effort standalone pieces, but I'm not doing much art in the past ten days or so. That's because I've adopted a dog: Her name is Luna, an adorable mutt with a lot of Border Collie and some Husky in her, especially the eyes, the tail, and her lust for bird blood. The eyes are especially adorable because they make her look either sassy or dazed, but she's always adorable.

Despite her having a year already (they told me she was only six months old when I adopted her, go figure) we instantly bonded. She's cuddly, sociable, and quite obedient for an untrained dog.

I'm not a (conventionally) religious person, but I feel like she was sent to me. Sensation corroborated by the idea that by now she would be caged in a dog pound if it wasn't for me. Their owners wanted to get rid of her once they realized that raising a medium-sized dog is too much of a hassle. For me, it was just the right thing to do.

I haven't felt so happy and healthy as long as I remember. I've stopped playing games up until midnight and I finally went back to reading instead. I guess I've gained two kilos because I couldn't go to the gym or run during this period (I sprained my ankle while walking her, ugh) but I see a more colored, toned, and happier face when I look in the mirror and that's the important part.

So yeah, her name is aptly Luna because her life revolves around me, and currently vice versa. I have to re-plan my life in a way that I can take care of a dog and still draw a decent amount of hours per day and also hit the gym again. The removal of gaming has increased so much my free time and mental and physical stamina that it doesn't seem impossible.

So, wait a bit more for something beefier, like a comic update, and in the meanwhile enjoy some standalone pieces.

See you soon!
