I've been swamped by a cavalcade of life drama. Nothing serious, mind, but still important in some regards. Firstly, the SFW content I've been working on has ramped up. I've got to get a series of valentines day pictures ready, which are thankfully already almost done. After that though, I have to chip away at a series of pictures for a kickstarter project. That's due in August, but I don't want to sleep on it. The sketches are done, I just have to get the line art drawn up.

Lastly is probably the most taxing one; my day job has been absorbing all of my time via what can only be described as a comedy of errors. First, on Dec, 31st, my boss just straight up quit and walked out. I later would learn that this was due to him cooking the books for an upcoming inventory, so he pulled a "You can't fire me, I quit!" sort of deal. Second, one of my coworkers had intended to put in his 2 weeks on the 1st, but had to hold off on that until halfway through the month. This left the department with just me and this other girl who, let's be frank here, is a complete idiot. I'm talking, she didn't know you were supposed to wash fruit and vegetables first before you cut them levels of stupid...and she's also completely lazy and incompetent. Third, the store began a systematic remodeling process that's still ongoing, so a lot of things are in a state of semi chaos at the moment. Fourth, since both my manager and coworker left, I've been strapped with basically doing everything. 6-7 day work weeks, 8 hour shifts. That kind of thing. Last, we got a new manager, but after a bout a week, he leaves to take time off, due to having a baby...which I wasn't warned about prior.

It's been a real shit show, however, the silver lining is that, ironically, the job itself is not that hard. I can get everything done in a collective 3-4 hours. This means I have an over abundance of downtime...which I spend drawing. I've actually been sketching out the rough drafts of the comic I started and have since had to put on hold due to all this other stuff that started up. Unfortunately, I've reached the point (page 10) where all the kinky stuff starts and, thanks to the shitty redesign of our break room, can't really focus on drawing since all the tables are now out in the open in a much smaller room. Sorry, but I really don't want to be that guy at the job who sits in the break room drawing niche furry porn, so the rest of it will have to be done at home...unless I can get away with it.

Anyway, all that bullshit aside, that last item on the itinerary is an idea I just had today for a redesign of my character, Bessie the emboar. I've already redone a bunch of characters within the comic's story, but she's a little different. She's one of the main 3 characters and one I've grown quite accustomed to. However, there are a few reasons as to why I would change her. I'll get more into it tomorrow. I've got one last day of work before I finally get a day off, so I'll spend it sketching out some pictures and poses of what I want her to look like. Needless to say, it'll be more than just a slight change, I'm talking a complete character revamp.

I should be able to get that done and post it tomorrow with more extensive details about the why and how and also to get some feedback.
