Hope I can get back to creating stuff soon.

It's actually starting to feel good to upload things.

Wow! Last month sucked! Hopefully, this month will be better!

Honestly... Everytime it feels like I'm hitting some sort of stride, something always has to come up! Especially in March! I swear that month is cursed for me... At least it was important and wasn't something stupid like anxiety this time.

Anyway...

So another April 1st has come and gone! Now that I've finished nursing a hangover and getting back on track, I can finally tell ya what's going on!

---This Month's Agenda & Projects---

Ever be working on your comic, and suddenly, you're completely swept off your feet with a concept that you thought you were done with? Yeah, that happens way too often to me. I get distracted way too easily, so I've decided that it's probably a good idea to make a list of tasks and projects to help me stay on track, as well as inform anyone that's curious about what's going on.

• Complete the expanded Fannattassulit Project as it will be needed in the future

• Begin explaining what the Elmants are

• Continue work on the scouting comic

(I'm sure I can fit a joke in there somewhere about how long this has taken)

Begin work on the 32 Follower Milestone comic

(Already!? I'm still floored that anyone would give my stuff the time of day, let alone care enough to hit the follow button! I truly mean it when I say this. Thank you!)

• Assuming that all goes well, start uploading the TIWI (Trash I Will Improve)

• Draw more humanoid figures

• Respond to some PMS now that nothing's stressing me out

(I don't like bringing that kind of energy to a message, you know?)

~People I Still Owe∽

• Person 1: Complete! Just have to send it.
• Person 2: Scrapping & Starting Over.
• Person 3: Still about a quarter of the way done.
• Person 4: Flushing out the idea.
• Person 5: Child. If you are reading this, just know; I do not care how big that horse is. I'll get to it when I get to it. Plus the handbag Mimic Plus the Secret gift Plus the Miku drawing from memory within 10 minutes Plus the some other thing I'm sure.

It does not escape me that this list is very similar to the one before. You see, the secret to owing people things is to let as few people know as possible that you owe them something, that way, you can have all the time that you need! Unless, of course, they figure out that you owe them or you told them at some point. In which case, this list fulfills its duty by reminding me that I should probably get on that...

That's all for now!

I hope things are pleasant for you!

Honey!

Enough to drown a Small Child™!

And kill a Large Man!

 But not a Medium Sized Man.

No. No...

A Medium Sized Man would know his place and not challenge his station in life.

Most Unambitious.

Anyway, I got that comic celebrating my scouting on the way! I'm not going to psych myself out this time. It'll be ready when it's ready, and it's coming along nicely! It shouldn't be long.

In the meantime, I shall offer you a tiny sneak peek of some of the things you may see!

[ V I O L E N C E B R E E D S V I O L E N C E ]

Try to hang in there in these trying times!

---Ramble---

Because I certainly have! Bear in mind that this isn't an "Everyone must be miserable like me!" type of thing. It's more so a "Let's take a step back and give ourselves a chance to breathe." type of thing. See, I had two simple tasks that I set out to do at the beginning of the year, and I failed them both. The first and most important was delivering art to people I made things for, and the second was to start uploading more frequently. Fortunately, these are not things that lead to an absolute failure, just a "How come you haven't done this yet?" type of thing. So rest assured, I'm not dead or anything (I'm on here everyday), just very busy with all the things I heaped onto my plate.

---The List---

So first and foremost, the art that I owe people. I won't name names because some of these are supposed to be surprises (if someone bothers to guess and it happens to be them, I'll let them know). I had wanted to get them all done before I started sending them out, but unfortunately, that's taking longer than expected, so I guess I'll just suck it up and send out what's already done. Less stress that way, you know?

Now let's get this list started.

~People I Owe∽

• Person 1: Complete & Sent!
• Person 2: Complete! Just have to send it.
• Person 3: Complete! Just have to send it.
• Person 4: Scrapping & Starting Over.
• Person 5: Scrapping & Starting Over. About a quarter of the way done.
• Person 6: Incomplete. Literally started last night. Flushing out the idea.
• Person 7: Child. If you are reading this, just know; I do not care how big that horse is. I'll get to it when I get to it.

Fortunately, I'm not getting paid to do any of these, but I still shouldn't make people wait this long.

~(Personal To-do's)∽

• Start & Finish the comic commemorating my scouting.
• Actually bother to upload things.
• Begin preparations for the 32 Follower Milestone comic. (I can only make them in increments of 16, you see.)
• Continue working around in the guts of my project.
• Have Fun!

I made this list to keep myself in check. The idea that someone might see this and have the knowledge that I am working on something should motivate me enough to see these things through to the end. Not in a "People believe in me!" kind of way, but more so an "Oh God, someone knows!" sort of way.

---Dogs---

Not mine, mind you.

Who's?

Mind your business.

However, I will say this; they both act insane whenever I'm around. The little lady (The one barking) acts like no one gives her any attention at all. Which simply isn't true. I pet her for a genuine 20 minutes, and she still demanded attention.

As for the boy (the one staring in intense anticipation), every time we meet, he decides to do battle with me. And that'd be fine if it weren't for the fact that he goes for the nuts every time. No respect, this boy. Last time we met, he ramped it up and performed a flying tackle into me. I saw him build up speed, launch himself into the air, and shift into a Wario style Shoulder Bash™. If I were not so battle hardened, he would have managed to knock me over. Still a hundred years too young to defeat me.

Alright enough procrastinating. I got work to do. I hope your year has been pleasant so far, and I wish you luck in your future endeavors.

Finally! After three months, things are running smoothly!

It's a little embarrassing to admit, but I spent three months trying to fix my computer after a power surge, only to fix it and then mess it up immediately after. So after coming to terms with the fact that I'm a complete dumbass, I swallowed my pride and went down to the computer repair shop. It took them about 20 minutes to fix everything and only charged me about 20 bucks.

So, Lessons Learned™! Sometimes you just have to admit defeat...and pay someone smarter than you to fix the problem.

A whole lot of stuff coming real soon! Best brace yourself.

Yes you (You), the reader.

No more problems...

No more stress...

No more damage...

See you on the other side.

Pour one out for all the tabs that will be lost along the way... (1000+)

I should probably update my banner soon...

The sun has set, and my yard is covered in fireflies. 

I wish I could share this beautiful sight with anyone who cared, but I guess this moment is mine alone.

Why was there a fork inside the pipe of my shower drain?

There now rests a giant hairball with a fork in it on my shower floor.

I have sat around procrastinating for long enough. I've seen a lot of things from all of you, and I've got things to say.

This is a courtesy call. There's a great rambling on the horizon. None shall be spared. I'm the storm, and you're all the paper cups left behind by careless beachgoers, thus by extension making you (yes, you, the reader) careless and unsuspecting of the typhoon of text that is coming your way. Let no one say they were not warned. 

Rambling is an art form, and my cup, it spilleth over.

Anyway, my luck has been absolutely atrocious as of late. The second I decide to start doing stuff, everything just seems to fall apart.

In no particular order:

I had a death scare. (Shook me up for a day or two, but I got over it)

Been dealing with a lot of existential dread.

Was guilted into spending a good chunk of money on home repairs that did not concern me, nor should I have to had pay for them.

Got into a heated argument with my idiot younger brother (who I look after) over said repairs.

Learned that my neighbor has become a covid denier and, by extension, an anti-vaxxer.

I also found out that he's trying to sell my folks (who tend to be very gullible) on the idea of not getting vaccinated. 

So yeah, things have been just super!

---

But, hey, it ain't all bad. If there's one good thing that's happened as of late, it's that my art has finally started to look the way I want it to. Which means I'm getting closer to where I want to be. Here's a little taste. 

I feel like this is a good starting point.

All I gotta do now is to refine it and see how far I can take it.

Hopefully, I'll stop being a punk and actually post stuff.

I also think I'm ready to start studying other people's art styles to help me look at things from different perspectives. 

Better watch out! I might just be studying a-YOU.

As for the things I keep meaning to finish and send to people (my god, when will I learn), it's become overwhelmingly clear that my artistic abilities have improved since I started drawing them up and am no longer satisfied with them. So rather than sending them something I am no longer satisfied with, I've decided to redraw anything that I feel doesn't live up to my current standards. That and I'm a glutton for punishment, it would seem. 

At this point, I doubt anybody even remembers that I promised them anything. It's not like there were any concrete obligations, seeing these aren't paid commissions, just something I wanted to do. But still, I should do it, 'cause after all, we're all just words, and if our words don't ring true, then that would mean we are lies, which are pulled from the air, meaning, of course, that lies have no weight to them. And when something does not have weight, it means it is not anchored in reality, thus is fated to simply fade back into the air from once it was pulled. All this to say, I said I'd do it, so I'm gonna do it.

Anyway, these various updates on what I've been doing are probably boring to read. So tell you what, I've got a lot of ideas and concepts rolling around in my skull. Perhaps if I'm in the mood, I'll share one or two with you, just for fun. But you better not steal em'! Or I'mma put you in the basement!

OH SHIT!

Also, there's like 20 of you now!? I better get to work...

No more dropping off the face of the Earth.
