Juning Like I've Never June'd before.

I made the mistake of blinking, and akin to the terrifying statues in Dr. Who, June just appeared in front of me when I opened my eyes.

It really feels wild how fast the months seem to be rampaging by lately.  Perhaps its just due to having a May that has been the busiest health-wise that I've had since I started the caregiver gig.  Perhaps its just the lack of having a moment to check the calendar, but wow did May just get dunked under the water the moment it appeared.

That said, I'm going to start trying to have a roadmap of where I'd like to go with any given month.  I was hoping to have a few graphics to use as a way to spice up this post but as always, it has been a busy week.

So, what I'd like to have done this month:

Graphics - As I mentioned above, I'd like to start coming up with some graphical things for posts that I do here.  Just as way to add interest to the more purely rambly, wordy posts that I do.  Things like divider bars or even a Cinders/Character talking head that can add a quote to the beginning of the post.  I'm still figuring that out, but it'd be just some fun side stuff to work on when I have a few moments here and there.

Art - This is the big 'Duh' part.  Of course I'd like to get art done.  But I'd like to even start doing a poll of what sketches get turned into more full paintings or illustrations.  This month I'd like to get a couple full sketches done, then at least one or two inked, and one painted in full.  I'm still working on the 'list' of things I have on the go though, and would post that as a separate 'coming soon' feature.

Songs in Tenebrous - This is a working title for the comic featuring Cinders, and the story surrounding her and the group of misfits and miscreants she explored with.  I have about a chapter done of this, and the sketch of the cover is done save a few tweaks I want to do.  I've made sure this time to save the templates I used to make the comic more consistent than the last one I had to sadly stop.  My hope is to have a page done, if not two.  It will be in colour but not 'full paint' like I normally do.

Writing - A bit more writing, like I tried before, and probably on the same group of characters.  This will be done in uneven episodes as its a fairly unstructured venture, and isn't (currently) being done to become a novel or anything.

Patron Illustrations - I'm working to get caught up.  I'm actually behind again, which I apologize for.  Its entirely my fault as I just.. didn't see the month coming to an end until I realized that Wednesday was the 1st of June already.  

I will be sending out the note via Patreon this time around, as I find that I only get about 50% of folks responding when I send an e-mail out.  Its understandable, sometimes spam-filters eat things like that.  At least through Patreon it will reach the recipient, and should send an e-mail alert that they have a message waiting.

Tentatively, that's all I have planned.  I might post some weird additions like Talespire maps of the town of Kembledoun or some nonsense with HeroForge miniatures.  

Thanks for sticking around folks.  I hope to make it worth it this month :)
