Hey guys, just wanted to pop in and give a general update on how things are going.
I know I haven’t been streaming as much as I used to the past few months, but I’m still chugging away on some larger pictures daily. I would ideally love to have some more sketch streams going into October, since this latter chunk of September is going to largely be my real vacation.

On the 21st to the 28th, my boyfriend is flying in from Seattle so I’ll be mostly gone that week travelling around Toronto together and actually taking a break. I’m pretty nervous about the whole thing in general, half because of how hectic traffic can be there and how easy it is to get lost trying to find your way around, the other half fearing what my family will potentially try to do in my room while I'm gone. But here’s hoping it goes smoothly!

This past month my sleep schedule has been all over the place, which can largely be attributed to both stress from a broken A/C unit (it’s fixed now), and dealing with a sudden army of cockroaches that have started appearing out of nowhere in the kitchen after the family next door threw a large party a month or two back. My family has been going about fighting them in really bizarre ways and basically tore apart our kitchen trying to spray everything and setting traps trying to fight back. It's ultimately been making it that much harder for me to actually cook and eat healthy regularly unfortunately. :\

Nonetheless, I spent a good chunk of early September going through some old art files and renaming them by file creation date then a rough title, trying to create a more complete archive of my old trove of works in progress. It’s literally thousands of files to sort through though and none of them are posted anywhere online. The art ranges from my old high school really bad cringe art to really sketchy practice stuff and work in progress TF comics that have been sitting on my drives for basically forever. I have to go through and rename every single one and save it as a separate PNG to put in an archive to share though. So the general progress on that project has been much slower.

In terms of art projects in progress, my queue has been still hovering around 8-9 paid in progress things, with a few other queued up things waiting to get started after those start to clear up. At the moment I am currently inking another short dog sequence that may get posted fairly soon. I'm hovering around 60-80% done on a lot of the shaded images and I'm a little bummed I didn't get the other 3 donkey pics shaded fully to post with the others before August ended. Those will likely get finished sometime in October if I stay on track after vacationing. My real goal I’m still aiming for is to just clear up everything I owe and put a pause on taking on more than two things at a time so I can stay more focused and finish/post some more personal stuff much faster again.

My goal is still to reach a point where I'm a bit better off and can afford more time to relax and work on my personal projects more freely. I hope someday soon I can ease up on commissions make some more ambitious art/comics/interactive stuff for everyone to enjoy. I sincerely appreciate everyone who currently supports or has supported my work through commissions/ the patreon/ and ko-fi in the past. I probably wouldn’t be able to afford time to draw a fraction of what I do if it weren’t for you all. Thank you.

That's all for now, I shall return later. *vanishes in a puff of smoke*
