First off, HOLY COW! Thank you all again for all the wonderful birthday wishes the other day! You guys really made this fat gatorderg’s day! ^.=.^

Now is a good time as any to finally give a proper update what’s been going on here.

Truth be told, derg’s kinda been in a very iffy state since December last year. Just a lot has been on my mind, especially things I’ve been putting off or ignoring for a long time now. But don’t worry, I promise you guys I’m alright. ^.=.^

I’ve been taking small steps here and there. Recently, I’ve been doing a lot of reading. Mostly on how to make comics, and a lot of the do’s, don’ts, and some of the theory behind it. It’s been going great for the most part. The last book I read on how to write them was… Okay, but it was less informative and drier than I would have liked (At least to me… Which is sad because it was written by THE Stan Lee), and I still have one more on my shelf to go through. I’ve also, been putting what I’ve learned to the test and working on a short Digimon Furry comic as practice. So, expect that in the future! :3

The big thing is art maybe slow for the next couple of weeks, mostly because of trying to work the comic and the Summer heat. I’ll still try and work on stuff, but I want my main focus being getting that comic idea done, especially when the only time I might be able to work is at night when it’s not super hot. <.=.>

In terms of games, I finally bit the hook and got Splatoon 3. Been playing that a bit and getting back into the grove of Turf Wars. Finally sat down and played Brok the Investigator and got the Drummer ending. Need to play more of that. Also, got Monster Hunter Stories HD and Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door HD. Been trying to play RingFit more and get that ‘dad bod’ going. But finding time and motivation to do it has been nonexistent… >.=.>;;;

Honestly? I wanted this year to not only be the year of the dragon, but the year of the fat dragon for me, specifically. Just the year where I try to better myself physically, and as a person and artist. Progress on that has been really slow, but small steps before you can run, right? And hey! At least I’ll finally be replacing my old, scratched-up glasses soon, so that’s at least something! x3;

Sorry if this update has been a bit scatterbrained… Been trying to think of what to talk about for longer than I would like to admit, but felt like I needed to say something. xD;
