So dangit, it's once again been ages since I made a new journal post. I'm just not good with journal posts, reading or writing them. Even back when I still used to haunt deviantART, that inbox would just build up with poor unread journals…
*ahem!* But aaanyway, I should say some (mildy?) interesting stuff:
- I got mees a Cintiq, I dids! :3 The Cintiq 13HD one. It's all new and different, and I'm still attempting to get the hang of it. I've spent so long with a tablet I've forgotten how to actually stare at my hands while drawing! :P
- Still doing fine at my now-not-so-new-ish web developer job! Lots of exciting developments with React and Redux and Webpack and other fancy Javascript-y things. I webs them nets guud I does. Sometimes I've been working a tad later than I'd like, but it's muuuuuuuch less stressful and more engaging than my previous two terrible jobs… so… net win? I'm not entirely certain how serious the office manager is when she says it, but I think my official title might actually be "Front-end Rockstar"? :V
- Uhhh… umm… ohh right! The comic. The comic that I draw. Still working on the next page, I swear! Sort of trying slightly new things a bit with the new Cintiq, but most of the delay is good-(bad?)-old-fashioned artist's block :( Every time I look at the relative date between pages posted I get sad, I really do wish I could be speedier in my art-ings.
- Speaking of art stuff, I think I really ought to get back into the habit of uploading more non-comic stuff. There's a bunch of (now quite) older stuff that I've been waiting until I get more comic done before posting (chronology and context and suchwhat), but I'm sure there's still stuff I could've uploaded by now.
So yeah, thats the newz!

FA+

Always hope to get to see more art from you of any fashion, but that's always second to your well-being. :)
I'm glad to hear things are going well with that web developer job! I'm actually studying web design and networking right now, and I think it's pretty fun ^_^
So yeah, gone are the days when you would slam together a big soup mix of HTML + CSS + JS to make a website. Now it's something like 90% JS as the man behind the curtain pulling the strings :P
Glad to hear you're still doing fine, and yeah, journal posting is hard sometimes.
