A Winter Well Rested!
5 days ago
End of a chapter! Beginning of the End of chapter Announcements! Lets see what we got here
1) First as always, taking a breather from the comics for about a week, nothing crazy, I need to take some time to communicate with
tracks98 as the next chapter will feature a culture of his making all the way back from 2019/2020 or so! Well over 5 years ago! I appreciate his patience in finally getting around to them in The Long Hike, but I want to make sure I represent them well.
2) This next chapter is the last chapter of this act as well! So after the next chapter I am thinking of doing some side stories. I was originally going to do just a story related to Sarah BUT I may also do a side story related to the Yurnic Kobolds. Let me know what you think about that if you're interested or not interested in that sort of thing.
Al for my life
My substitute Spanish teacher work is likely to end soon, not sure when! but the main teacher is looking to come back soonish. Of course this was inevitable, such is substitute work. Hoping I can get some connections to get a better job off the ground from my substitute work! Though there is a real possibility i will once again be out there searching for a job. So there may be an uptick in comic drawing, may not be, not sure!
I have also been dealing with some health issues with a heavy, persistent cough. While I can chug cough syrup and cough drops day to day to deal with it at work, at home when I am not taking those things it has been pretty noticeable and even rather painful. I've had it for about 5 weeks, if it continues on a few weeks more then I am headed to a doctor. I have a feeling it's some flavor of bronchitis though I am no doctor, so I'll see what they think.
Even with the income from my job though, my income is looking a bit dicier than 10 months ago, something about having no job for maaaany months has a way of slowly eating away at your emergency savings. If it gets bad i may open up commissions again! I was thinking of having a Get Drek'd commission set but also a "Get Yurn'd" option for folks who wanna just be a little kobold. All that isn't to say you should support me of course! Money is tight everywhere, take care of yourself financially above all, I am just some guy on the internet. But if I open those commissions and you like what you see, let me know!
Also who knows! A job may be just around the corner! Though reading about the economy seems to suggest that the economy is rough across the US and much of the world. I'm no expert but boy, things seem rough all around. Be safe out their folks
Lastly in about a month I will cease to be in my 20s, I will be 30! I will assure you my hairline has accepted it's fate. I think the weirdest feeling is that these days I encounter more people younger than me than my age or older these days. Even some of the artists I heavily look up to have turned out to be younger than me by at least 1-3 years which, still the ballpark, but damn. Kinda nuts to have my 20s end as while they didn't end with any particular career success, a lot of things happened!
I went abroad to México, learned Spanish to a high level (advanced high on ACTFL and C2 on CEFR) and became a certified interpreter and translator, began The Long Hike which has been a major part of my life thus far. I haven't really succeeded in much but I guess I've at least done a lot in my 20s! Not sure what that means for my 30s, I am pretty afraid as I know as I get older my prospects of starting something become harder and less likely. BUT just like Imua I can't change the past so I'll just try to move forward into the future as best I can.
Be well one and all, it's a nutty world out there.

And I'm honored to have the culture I helped create show up in your work, I'm sure you'll do great with them!
