SATURDAY RAMBLE #15

On a wednesday.

Anxiety

My anxiety has gotten worse, for those who didn't know I have Anxiety Disorder, I don't know how severe it is because i'd have to compare with other people, but to describe how bad I persive it: It's been a constant state of my mind for the last month with very short periods of tranquility, I'd say its a 90/10 ratio.

I've gone to the psychologist about this matter, he is against of me taking meds, but to be fair, he's done an excellent job on giving me tools and techniques to cope with this. I won't go into detail on those but I will say some of them involve having a healthy sleep schedule, eating well and excercizing, which mostly of the time I do well.

Now, doing "well" on those topics hasn't been enough lately and I will have to be more strict with my diet and schedules overall, also taking more frequent rests, which as you can imagine, will slow down some of the art process.

On the other side, I've been reading a little bit about the mentioned meds, and I have met some people who take 'em, and mostly positive results are the feedback I get, but I'm a little scared of doing such decision, but well, it just has been getting worse and worse and has been affecting my day to day, so it's definitely on the table.

Remember I was going to do that Patreon week?

Yeah that was a total failure, got very serious panic attack doring those days, those who are on the discord know about it.

I don't want my anxiety to be an excuse of delaying art or overall being out of date on delivering patreon rewards, I really don't want to. So what will happen is just, I'm not going to livestream those anymore until I feel fine about doing so and have a more stable and tranquil mental state.

Thanks for understanding.

Early Access

Sometimes I don't get to upload the Early Access versions of the episodes of Pixeas and Henry and I have to address that, it's nothing too serious, is just I don't feel like page-to-page storytelling work as well as chapter-to-chapter does. So as you may have noticed I've been uploading Pixeas and Henry on bulk rather than page to page, I think the pacing right now is the ideal one and we're getting "relatively" closer to the end. So just let me know if you prefer the page to page format.

Notchprown Comic

Yeah, the comic I've been hyping for a while now, I have to address that too. It's really going to happen, but it's just in a state in which I can't show anything about it, mostly it's because of my time being spent on Pixeas and Henry, and me trying to not get distracted from my main projects, so here's the official thing. You'll be able to start reading this comic as short as Pixeas and Henry ends. back to back. :)

Prints/Confuror

So as a kind of official announcement, I will be (for the very first time) selling merch and commissions at a con!, alongside with BlackyPNG, VERY EXCITED! it'll be at Confuror this October 20-23, in Guadalajara Jalisco, My home town!

So with this, I'll be designing plenty of merch, such as stickers, prints, mugs and shirts, and I'll make them available for public buy in a very near future!

and with it very probably a new patreon tier if you wish to support me while receiving monthly merch.

As always thanks for reading, I know it sounded a little bit bleak with all the anxiety stuff, but don't worry about it, I'll be fine, I have lived with it for my entire life and now I'm friends with it. 

July Patreon rewards will be dropping soon too!
