Taking March off from comic work.
3 years ago
Hello everyone. Sorry to have to delay again, but I am currently in a position where I just need to take some time off from working on the comics.
Nothing bad or major has happened, it's just that due to the pandemic, a bunch of my uni work has been delayed and rescheduled and this month a couple of things are just lining up in an unfortunate way. The new semester has also started this week for me, which will be me working a full-time internship and eventually writing my bachelors thesis. It started out amazing so far, they are leaving me a lot of freedom in when and where I want to work and I am mostly left to tackle my tasks however I want to. Which is great and I love it, but if I am working on a coordinated, large project like that all day, I don't really feel like working on another coordinated, large project (my comics) in the evening too. I am sure once I find my rhythm and get into the beat of things I'll be able to do that too, but until then (and with me still having to deal with some lingering finals this month), it's a lot easier for me to just take this month of from comic work and just focus on some of the smaller, faster art ideas I have.
My apologies to those who were excited to see the story continued soon. I expect that I'll be picking it back up in April. Until then, I hope you'll be happy with some smaller one-off pictures as well.

That said I do hope all the irl stuff goes smooth.

Good luck with everything, I hope it all goes well! The internship sounds really exciting and I totally get not wanting to jump from big project to big project. You'll find that healthy balance in time.
