Hey guys I'm back! (officially this time) and yes I'm x-posting this to my other places so sorry ahead of time if you are forced to read this drabble more than once xD
So basically the summer has been an adventure. I quit my other job because I just had too much stress, we lost a source of income in the house, I'm not really getting much luck with commission work but I'm still slave driving to get work done. I went to Nebraska to work for two weeks with my grandparents and made a decent amount of money. Decent enough that I was able to add the rest to my plane ticket fund.
So after this coming week, I will have a plane ticket to visit
devillo! <3<3
EXCITED.
(Dear England, I apologize in advance for the doom)
Also I sold a few copies of Ghost Light! WEWT. I debated for a long time whether to go ahead and work on the next issue but I think the next one will probably be out after Christmas sometime, so I can have some time to get this first one out there and recognized. The reason for this is because I'm going to do my first con this November! I have my booth reserved and will pay the rest soon! SO YAY. So if any of you guys are in the Memphis area, drop by November 5th, and 6th! I'll be selling mini-comics, preview books, and advertising the hell out of Ghost Light and GRS. I had T-shirts made by some friends who run a T-shirt/embroidery company. I may ask them to make some extras for me for the con but it depends on how much money I have. I can't really seem to attract many commissions even though I'm willing to do everything for like $10 and under if I have to. Unless you commission me to draw like... 20 characters in one piece with 50 leaning towers of Pisa in the background. I dunno xD I really would like to work regularly on commission work but sadly I'm not too good at telling people GIVE ME YOUR MONEY like a homeless person so meh. Advice welcome.
what else what else...
Grim Reaper School will be back in action next week hopefully. I worked hard on pencils and scripts over the 2 weeks I was gone. I'm guna ditch the "regular update schedule" BS and just update whenever I want/can. Because it's less stressful that way I guess?
Other than that, gunna try and use these places more to upload art and everything. I've been going through a kind of disconnect lately partly because I'm so busy but also because internet has just become kind of stale for me. I feel bad saying it but it's true. So hopefully I'll be more active now, at least until I get another part time job to pay my bills and feed myself lol.
And as always I update more often here: http://ajahli.blogspot.com
and if you have twitter: http://www.twitter.com/AjahUpdates
until next time~

But maybe if you're going to that convention, you'll get a lot more followers and commissions! :) Here is hoping. I'll cross my fingers for you! Also, congrats on UK-trip! I hope you have lots of fun and England-Mcdonalds orders
Well luckily the first issue will be around for a while so you have plenty of time <3
I wish I was better at advertising myself and everything because I can do some really nice stuff for cheap but it seems like the artists who charge like $80+ for one thing make more than us little guys who don't even charge that much for close to that amount of work. I thought about maybe offering up $10 commissions for a full color character and simple background so I can cover some printing costs and such for the convention but, I don't know if anyone would be interested :\
either way GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR GOAL :D cause you know the Ghost Light book is just begging over there on Lulu "buy me Rina ;w; you know you want toooo"
