Hello, all. It's been awhile since I posted one of these, hasn't it?

Just wanted to give everybody a quick update: yes, I'm alive; yes, I'm still writing. And no, I haven't been swallowed up by a black hole... yet.

A week or so ago I decided to challenge myself. As some of you know I've been trying to learn how to better draw. It's something I enjoyed ever since I was a kid. I've always enjoyed doing so, but for awhile writing always came easier to me. I've been thinking though with my recent burn out that maybe taking up a side hobby would be a good way to balance things out. So I've been plying my craft for a little over a year now.

Well a friend of mine threw a fun idea at me. And so for the next... 34 days I will be drawing a different fictional doggo character every day. Or I've already started to do so. I'll be slowly posting the results thus far in my scraps if anybody is interested in taking a look.

Why 34? Well... it was supposed to be 30, but I got some last minute suggestions and figured what's a few extras?

If you have any constructive criticism to add or any other advice to help me out, please by all means tell me. And if this whole thing works out then I might just try another similar challenge down the road. Maybe I'll even come back one day and try and redraw the stuff from this one to see the difference.

Not to worry though: I''m always open for writing commissions. And if you wanna throw a prompt my way to sketch, feel free to send it my way. I can't promise I'll be guaranteed to do it, but the more ideas I have for stuff to draw the better.

If I owe you something--- and I know I owe a fair few people some commissions--- then please get in touch with me so I can make a list. I fully intend to fulfill all of my commitments.
