Hello, Patrons!
It's been a while since my last weekly update. More than year, in fact! Wow. How time flies.
I've noticed that despite my inactivity, some of you have maintained your pledges, and I can't possibly express how much that means to me.
WHAT HAVE I BEEN UP TO?
I currently work two part-time jobs: as a library custodian and as an aide to an elderly disabled woman. I like both, though I get quite tired sometimes!

Due to my mental health + other obligations, I have a hard time keeping this blog to a strict schedule, but I do want to provide you with content! I'll be using this as a sort of "behind the scenes" blog for the development of YHBMN (my visual novel that I'm working on as my big project of 2019), which I tend not to post too much about on other sites like tumblr and insta and so forth.

This is Part 1 of 8. In its final form, it will be a visual novel. I have enabled comments, and welcome any questions or critique you might have!

Thanks and apologies to everyone who's stuck with me this far!

I'm opening up three slots for comic commissions! General pricing is $25 for the first panel, and $10 for each panel after that. If you know what you want a comic about, but don't have an exact script, I can work with you to create one.

Hello Patrons!
The poll on written vs. weekly updates has remained completely tied, so I decided I wanted to do a sketchbook update video! I hope you enjoy it!!!

Welcome to the eighth weekly update!!
It seems video sketchbook updates have overtaken weekly written updates in the poll (which I didn't realize until just now), so I guess next week I'll do that!

Not much! I'm still looking for a second job; being the library custodian is great, but it's not enough to make rent by itself. No luck finding a second job yet, but I'm trying!

Welcome to the eighth weekly update!!
It seems like the vote for weekly written updates vs biweeklyish video updates is evenly split! So go vote in that if you have a strong opinion and have been holding out? Otherwise I guess it'll be my call!

2018-09-10 02:24:04 +0000 UTC View PostWhich do you prefer: written updates about my life or video updates about my sketchbook?
Keep in mind: written updates are weekly, video updates will be done whenever I've drawn enough pages to constitute an update (probably every couple weeks)
Neither option will have an impact on the monthly bonus videos!
