Moving Some Things around This Week
Added 2020-09-02 22:57:58 +0000 UTCSo the short version of this post is I'm being rather forced to take the next two days off from work, and this week's page of TRW will drop here Saturday evening. If you'd like further details, please read on!
I was reluctant to make this post. As thanks to some recent bumps in the road, I've had to make a lot more "sorry but I'm running late" messages than usual lately, and I don't want to start losing the good faith I've spent years building by updating consistently. But the sharp stabbing pain shooting through the knuckles on my drawing hand right now says this one is non-negotiable.
It's not the first time this has happened since I started drawing full time. In this case it's because I overdid it cramming in work on a little side project that I'll have more to share about soon. Anyhow whenever this pain comes along, there's only one way to keep it from getting worse: don't draw at all for two full days.
But that doesn't mean I won't have anything to post tomorrow night! I've got a fully canonical story pic that I thankfully finished before my hand started hurting. I was only waiting to post it until I finished the story, and it will be ready by tomorrow night for sure.
That's all for now, I hope you guys don't mind giving me some leeway here once again. For what it's worth I did manage to solve the trouble sleeping that was slowing me down before. After drastically reducing my alcohol consumption, now I sleep like a rock, and mostly at night. So from here on it's just a matter of finding a balance to keep from working too much and doing damage to myself. I appreciate your patience while I find a new and sustainable balance in my work schedule.

Suffering for art is not a good way to live. Heal up, then do art. XD

2020-09-03 05:54:40 +0000 UTCI think you'll find people are pretty supportive about stuff like this- you're probably one of the hardest-working artists I've ever known, and one of the fastest, too. A couple days' delay is really nothing all but the most impatient would mind.

2020-09-03 05:32:21 +0000 UTCYou prolly need more sleep too. Also make sure you are stretching daily. Do some finger and hand exercises. If you got hand putty that will help greatly. It helped me when I had stiff fingers or hand cramps

2020-09-03 00:37:45 +0000 UTCDon't break your drawing hand! Then we won't have anything to fap to!

2020-09-02 23:59:38 +0000 UTCGet well soon! Make sure you're rest, you're no good to anyone if you're injured.

2020-09-02 23:47:36 +0000 UTCDon't fret about it and take care of yourself and get better. This last game update was so off the wall EPIC with the new unexpected sex scenes that you deserve some time off. Be well and stay safe and healthy!

2020-09-02 23:31:03 +0000 UTCThanks for letting us know. You've been reliably delivering damn good pages and art for years now, its ok if your drawing hand needs a break. Just gives me something to look forward to Saturday morning. And I'm glad we'll still get something tomorrow. Take it easy bro.

2020-09-02 23:02:55 +0000 UTCFer chrissakes, you're no good to us (or yourself) if you break yourself. Overworking never helped anyone, resting is also a part of your job.

2020-09-02 23:02:00 +0000 UTCHonestly, after the Raina update, I don't know that you'll EVER run out of good will, at least with me. Also maybe I just missed it, but is there a preferred method of submitting spelling and syntax errors? I'm not tech savvy enough to worry about bugs, but I noticed a handful of misspellings and some oddly constructed sentences.
