Where is the next Whenever They Catch You page?
a year ago
Commissions are currently closed.
So I've been getting this question... A LOT. And I've been trying to find a way to answer without making it sound like I'm making excuses.
But the truth of the matter is... I just haven't gotten around to it *shrugs shyly*.
Since I've switched to drawing full-time, my main focus has been drawing commissions to afford rent. I even TRIED doing comic commissions so that I could still be making comics while earning a living off it but WOOF that turned out to be a LOT more work than I anticipated. I haven't even completed all the comic commissions I took last year.
Plus, since last year, I've been working on a side project with
Darkwitt talking all about hypnosis. The script is currently going through some revisions and getting some professional input since we want to ensure the safety of those who practice hypnosis and not misrepresent any facts.
........
So where does that leave Whenever They Catch You?
It's still being worked on! The next page is in a kind of limbo at the moment (You can actually see the first panel lined on my Patreon). I promise I haven't given up on it or made it a Patreon-only type deal. I'm vowing to at LEAST finish the next page this year. I owe all of you that much since I still cannot overstate how much it melts my heart that so many are invested in the story.
And believe me, when I finish these comic commissions I'm going HARD on working WTCY again.

I’ve been quite burned out myself and as of right now, I’m still behind on submitting already completed commissions to my gallery mostly because I want to throw in a short story to go with it because it gives the commission more flavor.
I’m in no hurry for you to continue that comic series you started back in 2016 so take all the time you need.
altho, if i may offer some critiqe! i enjoy the comic you n sir darkwit been doing about the practice of hypnosis and such, its a cute as sin comic. but, id recomend also covering with him the idea that some people aint into actual hypno, and are more into it for the... kinky side? the fictional. with the wide rainbow that exists with such a kink, the shallow end, to the more uh...dark stuff XD
like its such a varied topic when covering.
I’m no expert, but I’ve seen some artists sorta put themselves on a schedule, saying they’ll work on comms this day, their comic another, and have a free day here. I have to admit it’s necessary for me to get stuff done. :( Maybe that might help for you? Idk I’m no professional or full time artist by any means. But I love your work and hate seeing people in a rut where they can’t stop doing comms to either do something fun or work on personal projects. Hope things get better for you soon and, well, they’re not my thing but comfy tail hugs for u ^w^ 🫂
Thank you!
Sometimes I feel like "what kind of weirdo makes color comics all the time??" I stopped taking comic commissions for the same reason: it was exhausting to do them both for commission and personal work. Also, don't forget supply and demand; if you can't keep up with demand, it's time to raise your prices. :)
Personally, I am just happy to see my favorite artists continue to make stuff. I'm sure that many others feel the same way I do. Keep making great stuff, Lager!
