Options are 5 to choose from which you already know of

Now a friend brought up something about the cowboy comic that I will need to explain XD
Joe went from smallish hourglass to super hourglass not because of the demon contract BUT because she's wearing a super tight corset, if you want how she looks not covered up true size go to saints private eye chapter 2 where shes in a see through gown

in terms of bust sizes from smallest to biggest in the cowboy chapter it goes Joe-Jackie-Savannah

I mean I left a few unfinished

Saints and Sinners chapter 2 is left mid saloon brawl with Savannah setting up to fuck shit up

Night-bat Trish and Deandra are just left flattened in an elevator

Blown out of promotion... I kinda feel like you guys dont like that one

Saints Private eye we left the bunny flattened and the possum surrendering to the sheep

but then we also got the first chapter I said I wanted to remake XD

so what do I do? haha

Seriously how do people keep tying it up we got a few hours left anyways, so when the cowboy comics pages are shaded I guess I’ll have to decide what im working on next, maybe continue it since its not finished, maybe go back to noir, maybe go back to blown out of promotion, might go back to night-bat as last I checked deandra and trish are still pancaked in that elevator, hell might even remake chapter 1

Dunno but something has to be done

Sites still syncing up and im not seeing everything from everyone whether comments or their art

well calculating it out (basically seeing how both girls have been doing since I last posted a full month ago so 27th of feb) its not looking good

without going into specifics and only going into examples lets say each girl had to get a minimum of 2000 views each for it to be a positive outcome "maybe even a sequel with lucia being forced into the same situation just to cover the contract cost" but if the minimum was 2000 they would both be sitting at 1800-1850 and thats thanks to the additional page I didnt plan on drawing but was done purely to correct a minor mistake.

now I don't know how to improve on this but its got me into the speculation that its something you guys arent enjoying especially since the best performing pages cant even stay on par with my worst performing art or newer stuff so I don't know how to get some engagement on this other than to just say "I need some more engagement on these"

so I'm gonna be doing something else for the meantime see if it picks up but I really dont know what to do to get engagement up, twitter doesnt seem to be good for it, discord groups tend to not do so well now and even the groups I do share in it goes silent, I know if I go back to deviantart it will just get stolen by their AI and I rather not lose my stuff to their AI

so what can you expect from me in the future? well I got something else started (only cause I promised it over a year ago) hopefully you like that but I don't know how I'm feeling with Blown out of Promotion I'd rather not take a longer break and the idea was to not do comics for a time (though thanks to something unfortunate happening I had to start up another comic) and the other thing to is my page has been empty but I have been drawing art in fact I've drawn alot the problem is everyone thats traded with me or commed me have just asked me to keep it private no uploading so I really got loads of stuff you cannot see ^^;

I dunno this has been a weird few months for me hard to process cause I feel like I'm stuck like this ^^;

Sorry about the last one I actually did want to draw her but I kept art blocking in her it was weird

Anyways https://x.com/trybat1/status/2034109332808175838?s=46&t=8u24AdRkQKS2r7ntLqhx4g

Francine smith or lois griffin?

If this goes well the next might be hailey vs meg poll xD

taking a step back from blown out of proportion and letting it do what I hope it does (will influence how it goes basically)

so I'm gonna start up a chapter of another comic cause it was something I promised and after some news felt I should do it now rather than not

So yea after I do a page to fix a minor error I will be mid way through three comics that I should probably do

But which one should I focus on?

I mean night-bat trish and deandra were left pancaked in that elevator (its gonna be easily resolved) need to continue her story and give strix her proper introduction

Saints and sinners needs to be shaded as when I was doing it someone decided to be an asshole about it to me which put me back into depression leaving it unfinished for months

Then you got blown out of promotion that has view counters for each girl (which is being calculated) so stuff you guys do (or dont do) will effect the outcome of the comic (and if lucia will even be nabbed)

seriously I got no idea what to do, it feels like whatever I start I lose the motivation or dont have an idea for it

tried to think maybe an expression sheet "maybe I need expression work with my characters but which character should I do it with?" then I was like "maybe I should let people vote on that" but then I was like "whats the point people will vote for the character I've drawn hundreds of times over the other characters so it would get boring fast"

then I was like "what if I draw something like what another artist does" but then I was like "but then I'm back to the what do I do phase of the art"

then I'm like "Oh I'll ask other artists what they think" then I was like "damn they just replied with idk"

then I was like "what if I draw hazbin art again" then I was like "huh I'm out of ideas for other stuff I got no chance with that" then I was like "wait I got a impsona maybe something with her" then I was like "im out of ideas for everything else so I dunno what to do"

so yea I am just drawing a blank and no idea why

im gonna do the comic page I need to do for blown out of promotion that was supposed to just change what I did and while I do that I'm gonna try and come up with something to do for mirage

however if I cant think of anything good that sticks out to me then I may have to pass on it, I don't know whats going on she's a well designed character and I'm like "I got nothing"

and I got no idea what to do with her I am just out of ideas

well after that poll the next thing I'll be drawing that isnt a commission will be Mirage but as what I do not know

the next thing I will be drawing is a commission as one of the commissioners got back in touch (and also jumped the queue cause the person ahead of them still hasn't replied) so I'll be doing that

then what after the commission and mirage pic? well depending on how I feel maybe back to Blown out of promotion (tho after my dun goofed moment I should maybe address that first) or if mirage is any good I do another poll with the remaining cat girls and throw in kitty katswell to fill in the empty slot mirage now left vacant after winning her poll

who knows, anyways HURRAY

Well 3 pages of blown out of promotion have been drawn and shaded just waiting on confirmation of them being ok to post (not my characters I gotta check)

Commissions? Yea im still open the people that asked went quiet tho so I dunno what’s happening there so this is the warning shot journal, if I dont hear back in say a week after posting this journal then I’ll move on to whoever asks first

What to do in the meantime? Could do a poll for retro furry girls to draw I will say it wasnt supposed to be 4 cat girls but when I picked the white one I did it thinking she was a bunny so eh 4 catgirls, if people want a redo and swap a girl out for kitty katswell (yeesh shes retro now?) then I can do that anyways heres the poll https://x.com/trybat1/status/2018875095620481194?s=46&t=8u24AdRkQKS2r7ntLqhx4g

its slowly being done but I feel like I should do at least 3-4 pages before uploading them
main goal is to get into the inflation of Delilah and Samantha and how XD

So because of how the current com is going for me I will have to rethink how I do commissions as the time spent on it has been a factor in why I will be making these changes

first thing I need to do it change the limit on characters drawn and if its going to go over the limit I will need to start charging for additional characters

second thing is comic coms, I don't do comic commissions and whenever I open for commissions everyone just unloads their idea and I go "this sounds like a comic" and they sound shocked when I say I don't do them (I mean people were thinking they were getting a comic commission for $50) so if it comes to a comic commission I have to decline because right now if I was to do a short comic thats what $200+ for something I won't be confident in doing because comics are not a pleasant experience

sadly the com I'm doing was bigger than I anticipated mixed in with alot of family stuff (if anyone knows me well enough they know mid January to mid Febuary I got 10 family birthdays to attend and they are close family not cousins or uncles and aunties literally "mother, step-dad, sisters, sisters kids and my sisters husbands" its annoying as fuck and it really cuts into art time when I work most of the week, free time being the weekends and when my family has parties its not "oh turn up at lunch time we'll cut the cake have a few laughs and leave" its more like "turn up at lunch time, leave the car at home and pre-order a taxi cause your not leaving till midnight at the latest 10pm at the earliest" and the kids parties are slightly different they are about that long but instead of it being "turn up at lunch and we'll cut the cake" it's "we're going to a place and we're staying there for god knows how long"

so if I am doing a com for you right now, sorry you got a lot of family to contend with (you just contended with me being away because of my sisters pantomine show last week so you already know)
if I am yet to get to your com by the time I'm done you might have changed your mind so sorry about that (this is why I dont take payments until im ready to draw XD)
and if you were thinking of commissioning me... maybe wait till march before asking? might have more free time then

WHY DOES MY FAMILY HAVE TO HAVE ALL THEIR BIRTHDAYS AT THE SAME TIME WHY CAN'T THEY SPREAD IT OUT A BIT LIKE I DID BEING IN JULY DX<

honestly thought I would be back to it by now but I keep pushing it back sooo out of curiosity who's your favourite character so far
Delilah
Samantha
Lucia
Jane

right so I don't do comic commissions I only do singular image commissions so if you are going to commission me at least ask first don't build a commission idea for a comic because I can't do it and I don't want to disappoint anyone and have them forcibly change their commission into a singular image, also keep in mind I did say I was going to take a small break from the blown out of promotion comic so if you've told me in the past you can't wait to see me continue it but then commission me something that could take months to do then you are not going to see it continued for a very long time.

Commissions I have accept so far has put me back longer than I was hoping and I will honor the ones I have accepted so far but please stop asking for comics I literally cannot invest in comics all the time in fact my small break was because I wanted to take a break from the comic format DX

anyways yea ^^; was not expecting this heh

so it appears I went over 1700, I did say when I hit 1750 I'd do a marble race to give winners some art for winning so something like a sketch and a full pic sort of deal depending on positions (you guys know the deals with the marble races)

so if you want in on a marble race make sure you follow me and when I hit 1750 I'll organise one. If anyone unfollowed or you know someone that isnt following and you convince them to follow/refollow I don't mind if I find out so feel free to pass that around XD

also because of the reputation of  RobberDevil just somehow winning or even getting in the top 3 of every marble race (seriously I 100 people joined last time and he somehow got another win) I'm gonna say that if he wins again I will double the reward for everyone else that wins including him XD

Happy new year guys I know I been quiet but I had to do something first

I have accepted a commission and potentially have another lined up but the person that commissioned me first asked for something I never really gave full refs for or even in colour so spent time drawing references before even starting the com (trust me makes it easier for me to follow if theres something to follow)

So whats my plan this year?
Well after I finish these coms I'm gonna go back and finish off the cowboy pages I didnt shade (the comics still not finished but I need to shade the ones that are already sketched)
Then I go back to Blown out of Promotion since people seem to enjoy how thats going so far

will things get bigger? will it just be Delilah? will Samantha get her comeuppance for sneaking in on the air tank fun? and what about Lucia dressing like Mildred will anything come of that or was it just a joke? honestly I dont know that last one I got asked about and I was like "ehhhh didnt plan on it but if people want it maybe?"

Continue the "blown out of promotion" spin off
or
Take a small break from the comic and draw something else "maybe like 1-2 pics"

btw just putting it out there cause people still wonder... I AM OPEN FOR COMS

So I have made two pages that I kind of want to get checked by the owner of the characters before I use it but also I want to make one more page to at least explain the Contract thing and the "misunderstanding" that is in the comic

but so far 2 pages have been done

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
