Weekly Update - 289 - 9/22/25

It Mondee. Hap Mondee.

Comics this Friday?

God Slayers - Yes!

Solipsus - No.

It may be too soon to say for sure, but I'm starting to feel myself sliding into a better rhythm for managing both comics. Of course the original point was to release more comics more often... I think I've shelved that ambition for now. The quality of both comics seemed to suffer and I felt myself rushing to get them done a bit too often. I still have a lot I can focus on improving, so it feels kind of shitty to sacrifice quality in favor of speed at this point.

For the past couple of weeks, when I've released one comic, the next page for the other comic was already half done (half, being subjective, as the sketches alone have been taking more and more time as I try to focus on the underlying structure of my characters more). I find myself going back and forth, working on both at once, which... seems to be enabling me to finish a page earlier in the week, and then I get to have a head start on the next one.

Dunno, but it seems promising? Over the past 7 years or so I've learned when I'm really committed to something then rhythms like this tend to show up fairly naturally and they are generally fairly helpful for overall productivity.

I still have so much work to do on the TTRPG, which lies outside of my rhythm right now. I'm starting to try and come up with a plan of attack for the next parts that need doing, and to motivate myself to get those things done in the gaps between art. Might try to tackle some of that this week, while the husband is out of town. I won't have much else to do anyway. I could stare at the cat perhaps. That's sometimes kind of exciting.
