So, here we are
10 years ago
I'd like to be brief, but, since I'm me, I can't.
The "Peculiar Vintage" comic is now officially on non-temporary hold. I can't seem to be self-motivated for it, or a fair amount of TF anymore. I'm sorry to all who were really looking forward to it. I'm considering just posting the final, single-panel page and calling it done.
Not sure why it's fizzled with me. It seems I'm having trouble getting going on such a large piece without the tension of another character to play off, someone or thing to cause the conflict. An accident, or self-inflicted TF feels un-exciting to me.
However, I'm not stopping drawing altogether. I made this decision before I started posting my little portraits. I am also open for commissions and may offer another free commission contest in the near future.
I think, like the victim in my stories being TF'd by another, coming up with a scenario based on even the thread of an idea (such as The Disappearance of Emily Barnes) worked for me. Of course, there is also the sense of dedication to a project that I promised another I'd do (especially for money); I always keep promises.
To sum up: I'm not stopping drawing. I am putting the current comic on long-term hold. I'm open for commissions. I'll likely be offering another commission contest.
And, there we go.
Cheers, all!

Though to be honest, the antagonist for the TF in the comic should be two entities....
His deceased aunt and his friend (the one who he called his latest GF fat).
And with him drinking that bottle of wine could be the catalyst the his friend and deceased aunt needs to start his TF.
Anyway, your choice whether you care to continue or not, and don't feel you need to apologize to me or anyone else if you just want to give it up. Unless someone's paying you to do work, you don't owe them anything.
It's a bit of a cliche to say this, but slow and steady wins the race.
Keep the muse strong, I'll certainly keep watching.
