Yup no inflation not even any dialogue, this was all made to set up how they end up at ACME Cylinders XD couldn't just have them go there when they already work for Playbat and Hooties

so if your mad there isnt any inflation yet... I really wanted to make them look like a hero and villain first ok DX

So I got the intro sort of done first 5-6 pages is before getting to ACME Cylinders
Pages 1-5 is done and it's to show what Delilah and Savannah are like being heroes and villains so thats good (it's also a recreation of something so anyone thats seen it should know what it is)
Page 6 isnt done but this page is to show how they end up at ACME Cylinders
Page 7 onwards will then be ACME Cylinders stuff

like super ill

I should really talk about that

Yes I want to do a Blown out of Promotion thing with my heroes and villains but I've talked a lot about Delilah and Samantha doing hero and villain things but never shown it so the first 5 pages are going to be experimental showing a hero villain moment with them while also being a homage/recreation of a hero intro if you know it is you'll know what it is but if you don't know (or don't care) the getting to the set up will be after the 5th page

How much have I planned? honestly not a lot I got the intro and the reason they end up at acme cylinders but I should really plan out the afterwards bit

The thing I was set up commissions for has reached the goal CONGRATS TO EVERYONE THAT HELPED

What does that mean for commissions? will I close?

No I am forever open remember tho for now I will stick with the $50 price tag rather than the £50 price tag and I'll stick to that till 2026 so if you want a com theres your price

currently 55% of the goal

got one more potentially lined up

ontop of that I am still taking com's so if you want one note me prices below
Sketch: $30
Full Colour: $50

Taking payment in $ rather than £ this time so let me know if you want a com

Prices are:
Sketch- $30
Full colour- $50

In the process of doing a com right now

The money is going to a good cause ^^

Whats that you said you left?
I have left but something importants came up and I need to take part in it so heres the rules for commissions

Commissions will be the same price as they always are with me but you won't be paying me

I am only opening for commissions to help out a friend and they are open for commissions to but I don't feel like its fair they should take on all this extra work if it was something essential for them. I am remaining vague as I don't think they've spoke into details about what was going on but I want to help out and lacking money myself I can't help them financially so this is the best I can do

so yea I'd say check your GBP price exchange but it's actually fine since your paying this time in $ so

yea $50 for a full colour commission $30 for a sketch

I won't be doing comic commissions I know people ask for those but I can't thats alot of work

Tell everyone I was depressed and the reason I was depressed and people just want to keep reminding me of why I was ever depressed and what do I get out of getting it off my chest? people just unfollow

I don't care anymore, I'm leaving like every discord group I could not give a fuck anymore nobody gives a shit

So I have been depressed for 3 months and have tried to slowly get back into drawing and finish up the pages I had left unfinished, This whole thing crept into my real life and I actually lost real friends from it because I totally just closed myself off to the world I wasn't talking to anyone in my real life, you guys know I've been fucked up and you know what it is that fucked me up

So why am I having to tell people to not say certain things? things that you knew set me off? was me trying to build myself up again not to your liking? or can you just not take a hint?

a friend blocked me because I exploded on them on discord I will admit I exploded and I don't care that they blocked me because I'd rather not talk to them than to be reminded why I quit in the first place, I'd rather not go through this again because it took me 3 months to build back into this just for someone to go "hey you know that thing that sent you into depression? how bout I remind you" like are you guys just doing this on purpose? just fucking shut up

You already told me that you haven't read the comic, I told you theres no point to sending you the wips of the comic I have gotten done if you have not read it, you don't have to then say it's been so long since you read it that you've forgotten the characters like holy shit why would you tell me that? oh you said I guilt tripped you? oh you said that I shouldn't expect a success cause its a niche of a niche of a niche? I JUST WANTED YOU TO STOP SAYING THAT SHIT THATS ALL I WANTED I AM BUILDING MYSELF BACK UP HERE JUST SHUT THE FUCK UP!!!

The Blown out of Promotion one has not been planned yet but after the current pages for the other comic are done I can begin it

Cowboy Comic Chapter 2:
17: sketched not shaded
18: sketched not shaded
19: sketched not shaded
20: sketched not shaded
21: sketched not shaded
22: sketched not shaded
23: sketched not shaded
24: sketched not shaded

21B: sketched not shaded

24 is not the end btw just when it is done I can then start planning for the Blown out of promotion one

When will it happen and how long will it be and will it be in full colour?

When will it happen?
Well I'm gonna do it after I've drawn up what I've currently got planned for the Cowboy comic which is 9 pages so far which I know sounds long but I got 3 pages left to draw out and then after that shade all 8 it shouldnt be to long but I think once I get to page 24 (I know it ended on 17B meaning there should be 8 but there is also a bad end in there) I'll consider that a break point and start the comic

How long will it be?
Honestly I don't know but I want it set up like how Grey sets his up with an introduction and get right into the inflation stuff

Will it be in full colour?
Considering it took me a full week to do the cover in colour and it was only three characters HELL NO I'll try and keep it to how Grey did his but if that is also to much for me expect it to be grey scale ^^;

it is planned but because its the end of October and I'll probably be going through november finishing up what I got for the Cowboy one by the time I start it will be December or almost December and I know people will want to see Doughie and Bloughie so I have no idea

I know its probably to early to tell if its a good idea or not but heres the poll

https://x.com/Trybat1/status/1980004605078503878

Comic was posted yes it looks unfinished but it was during the period I was quitting and it was left in the sketched out but not shaded stage so good enough to post I guess

depending on how this goes I might ask another inspiration to my characters if I can do a spin off of one of their things

Its a sequel to a bighorse comic and I never posted outside of the few discord groups and the to bighorse themself (they liked it) should I post here or keep it private? We’ll say atleast a minimum of 20 required for the poll to count

https://x.com/trybat1/status/1979310210662511080?s=46&t=8u24AdRkQKS2r7ntLqhx4g

After this I was thinking I go ask another artist that was an inspiration to do another comic that is a semi sequel/semi set in their universe (they were an inspiration to trish being a hero) but if this poll doesnt do well and the comic isnt uploaded then theres no point to me asking them

so what I was doing was keeping myself to a small space for uploading/sharing stuff I've been doodling just to build myself back up again, places where I have been sharing know that I'm not in the best of places right now and today just broke the drive I've been building up so

whatever I have been doing I've just stopped now and dont know if I'll pick it back up

so art wise I dont know if I'll be coming back the issue right now is you've seen me upload a few bits and bobs the halloween pic was ironically something I had sketched out in preparation for Halloween and I didnt want her going to waste so I finished itI also planned out (before I quit) that I'd do stuff with her for Halloween like I did with Doughie and Bloughie for christmas (tho not a comic) so funny things I draw that can relate to Halloween things

now I usually draw flattenings and inflations hourglasses or weight gains so keeping it to that would help so if you were to give suggestions it would usually be around that ballpark as I can draw that (cause I dont know why but I have a gallery where I've drawn various types of inflation and flattening hourglassing and weight gain but when I ask for a suggestion and its someone thats followed me for a long time tries to suggest Diaper TF I don't know how to say this other than "BRO WTF I'VE NEVER DRAWN THAT WHY WOULD YOU SUGGEST IT AND ACT LIKE ITS FLATTENING AND INFLATION ROLLED INTO ONE" It's very weird to me and I don't get why it happens... you think I'm exaggerating here? it's happened twice and they somehow they act more confused when I say no then what I am trying to process why they think I'd draw that XD

So I do want to do things for Halloween but I wouldnt classify that as me being back just me filling an obligation I made for myself from before I quit.

you also got me drawing the Lace Squidward Meme but that was down to me talking with Noctulov and I got no idea why but whenever I talk with that guy I end up coming up with the best idea/pieces I'd say he's like a good luck charm or inspiration I dunno the guys a bunny so we'll say he's got a lucky rabbit's foot.

as for if I would ever have a raffle again with a marble race like I usually do the milestone for me was 1750 watchers as it was between the 1500 milestone and the I might as well not bother but its there milestone 2000 watchers but I feel like at this point if I dont hit that milestone by the end of the year I'll just not care if or when I do hit it and probs wont bother with the raffle so we'll say 1750 before new years and if it doesnt happen I think the momentum will have gone by then

So for now if I upload anything for it should just be Halloween based stuff and if there is suggestions... don't look at my gallery and then suggest something I've never drawn before but act like I've drawn it a million times

I can’t deal with the silence so if I were to come back and it was just the same as it was I’d just leave again, what I dont get is that in the places I brought up I might potentially come back all I got was jokes about the art I would have shared which really wrecked me, these are places that know I had quit.

So would I come back? Well it would be to keep doing the comic but I know you guys would rather I didn’t which is weird for me cause it just looks like you want blank slates of the characters to inflate and flatten and fatten but couldn't give a shit if they had any chemistry with the other characters which sucks for me cause its something I wanted to do

So coming back is just a hard thing to decide on cause even a “break” wont fix this

you want to know where I am right now? emotionally dead I would say im what 2 months of not drawing? how is it whenever I get the drive back to do it everyone just seems set out to fucking kill it? I am not doing this shit anymore I've had enough. I say I got something prepped for halloween and nobody wants to see it?

"do it for yourself" no fuck you guys this does not help, you know how demoralising it is to post something in a discord group get no damn response only for someone else to post and suddenly the groups are active. OH NOW YOU GUYS WANNA SAY SOMETHING oh whats that you know I'm upset about getting nothing so you say "oh I dont comment I'm sorry" I saw you fucking comment on other peoples stuff don't fucking lie

I am low I just forever quit can you guys stop with the lies you dont give a shit

Hinted I had art to share, nobody gave a shit

Guess it wont be shared

Just say what ya think

I felt like I should clarify something, everyone keeps saying the same shit and its always the people dont have the problem I have that says it and theres the other problem everyone says which just makes me even more mad

So whats the first thing they say? "you should do this for the passion"
all the people that say that DONT HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM I GET
Imagine drawing a comic page and getting nothing, imagine doing it again and getting nothing now imagine doing that a total of 136 and you get nothing? OH YEAH DO IT FOR THE PASSION YOU ONLY DID IT 136 TIMES YOU SHOULD KEEP GOING why so nobody can read it?

Which leads me to the next thing people say "oh I haven't read it since we last spoke I really need to catch up on it" so you know that on discord I can just scroll to when we last spoke about it right? and most the time its over a year since the last we spoke about it


so let me get this straight I get no comments no faves and you guys go "you should do it for the passion and I should really catch up on it" but in reality you aren't reading it nobody can name my characters which is another bad sign and you expect me to keep going on and to not quit? how much more do I have to fucking say for you guys to get? you guys are gonna tell me to keep doing it but you arent gonna read it yourselves?

I quit for a fucking reason cause even the supports fucking fake

I got no more pages in me I don't know where to go from here but the drive to keep going is gone, we'll see how this goes but I got no confidence in it, nobodys gonna want a continuation or even care so why should I? so yea Drive is just in the dirt dead and I feel like I should stick to quitting art

I have quit drawing but I got up to 17B from the comic drawn out so I'll complete the shading on them and post them, After that I wont have anything left to post
so far I got 13 and 14 fully done

Just don't like the silence and don't like that I'm gaining nothing from this, I hate the lack of anything really and I've been doing this for myself for so long that the tanks just ran empty, There's people that just join that immediately eclipse me and they get loads of support, Got friends that open for coms and they instantly fill up but when I open for coms I get like 5 messages and never hear back from them.

Honestly I don't know why I stick around cause I'm clearly not wanted around

Worst part in all this is that some people blame the comic and told me to quit, I've always wanted to do a comic since I was 17 and when my dad died it hit me back then that I was nearly 30 and I hadn't even attempted to make a comic all I had was characters with no usage and bios that made them seem like heroes and villains. When I told the people that told me to quit the comics this however they still told me to quit the comic and it just hurt more.

So I got art that gets no traction
I open for coms and stay empty
I start a comic with my characters that nobody cares about
a reason for doing it all which people were assholes about
and I get eclipsed by the newest of people that join

So why should I keep going?
