Some Updates.

So, you might have noticed that I’m once again a bit behind with updates. Part of the reason is that I had a creative/writer’s block. I’ll address that in more detail later, but I don’t want to dwell on it too much since it could be a bit triggering for some people.

For Fox Manor, for example, I just didn’t know how to introduce the Master in a meaningful way. With Lola the Lopunny, I also wasn’t sure how to continue the story, but I’ve now sorted that out, hopefully to your liking.

Right now, I’m stuck on the transformation sequence for the Latex Demon short comic. As you can see I’ve already planned out pages 14, 15, 16, and 19, which would also mark the first ending of the story. But transformation pages are already challenging for me, and with the latex I really want them to look good. I already had pages 12 and 13 laid out but it really looked like shite so i deleted it. On top of that, I tend to add more pages than I originally planned.

Usually, when I’m stuck on a page, I try to “put the cart before the horse” and work backwards from the end toward the middle. But that means I sometimes don’t have pages ready to post in chronological order.

So here’s my question for you:

  1. Would you prefer a tighter schedule, where I post 2–3 pages on a fixed day and occasionally post bonus side-project pages (like the Latex Demon) on other days? This would mean I’d hold back some pages as a backlog to cover times when I’m stuck.

  2. Or do you prefer a more flexible schedule, where I try to post something every week, even if it’s not guaranteed? The upside would be longer story updates (like 5 pages of Fox Manor in one go) so you don’t get cut off mid-action, but the posting times would be less consistent.

About the writer’s block (Mental health disclaimer)

I’m already a bit susceptible to depression, and over the last few weeks or months my social media feed has slowly been flooded with anti-AI sentiment. Thankfully, it was never targeted at me directly, but seeing all that negativity toward something I feel connected to really dragged me down.

It got to the point where I’d feel sick just opening Stable Diffusion and would stare for hours at an empty canvas, hoping for inspiration to strike. 

The worst part is that once you engage with negative posts, the algorithm just feeds you more of them. I’ve said it before: I don’t want to be engage in this war. Honestly, I think both sides are cringe.

Anyway, I’ve cleared my feed and I’m limiting my social media use to a healthier level.

1-year anniversary

 LOL. I just realized I completely forgot about it. Big thanks to all of you, whether you’ve been here the whole year, just joined, or only donated once. There's still a lot of ideas in my head I want to put out and I also already got some good input from you even if I didn't had the time to make any of them yet. Like the Anubis comic that I frankly haven't made much progress yet, 

 Anyway, thanks again for all your support.
