I'm taking commissions through VGen now.

Check out what's on offer over here:

Offerings will expand over time so keep an eye out on my works and for new things :D

Hope you enjoy and stick around for more fun things.

I've been taking it real easy during December.
I'll have a minor update of my commissions sheet (with a change in currency. I'll be switching it to € Euro instead of USD, I'm awful at converting to USD lol. That sort of thing.)

January will be a fairly active time for me, since I'll be taking part in an event (more on that later ;3)
I have only 1 comm to do at the moment, so my current aim is to get that done over the New Year.

Another thing I'll discuss is the Queen's Secret comic. Yes, I've been drip-feeding that a bit slower with longer gaps.
Nothing's stopping there, but it is almost finished, so that'll be back on track in January and beyond. Won't take long to actually finish up this little story. Look forward to it. :D

Also thinking about that idea I had earlier in the year about a community server for people to join if they're interested to hang, chill and share things.
That could be good to get set up for 2025 and beyond. It'll be somewhat removed from my main personal and much older server. Basically a 2nd home for my stuff. It'll be open for followers, friends and so on. Nothing wrong with a bleedover amirite? :D

That about wraps things up.
Have a good New Year when it comes by and remember to jump into the new year.
I'll certainly be trying to jump and not destroy my knees. >:D

I'll keep it short and sweet.
I've had a Bluesky account for a little bit now, so if you follow me on other places and want to add me on there, go for it.

In more places to expand, I like the customisation on SheezyArt.
Feels like what DA used to be like back in the day. Hell, I was even on original Sheezy back then too. :D

For those curious: https://sheezy.art/bigchiefbakari
My profile is rated NSFW, so casual viewers won't be able to see it, but users that have that available will be able to.

Don't worry. I'm not stopping using FA in any manner. I just want more places to post and share my works.

At some point I'll have all my active accounts caught up to my content here on FA, then start keeping them all up to date at the same time.
I've been looking at postybirb for that sort of thing. I'm still exploring what it has to offer and learning how it works. I got plenty time.

As for what I've been doing lately, you may have noticed the delay on Queen's Secret content.
Don't worry. That hasn't stopped at all. I've just been taking my time with the ending for it. I take whatever references I need and rough sketch the future pages.
Then within a week I do the linework and colour it. The whole project has been more of a lesson in discipline and routine than anything else.
Page 50 among others are definitely on the way, so look out for it. It's about time we let Rudo & Thandiwe have their happy ending, right? :D

There are also some other personal things I've had side-lined a while so I'm going to get on with those pieces too.
A couple of ref sheets, as well as some more naughty surprises.

Honestly, managing productivity and my funky think meat is pretty much full-time. I take what I can get.
Overall, I'm good. Just wired as all hell. Focus has been all over the place, but I can feel it coming back. Time to get back on that grind, yo. :D

I appreciate each and every one of you. The comments on things do bring joy and it's nice to know folks like the things I put out.
That's another reason I stuck with the comic series like I did. It was originally going to be a bit shorter at first, but here we are on the final little story arc.
I had an aim to go for about 50 pages of main content. I'm shooting over that, and that's fine. Got to be flexible, right?

Stay tuned for that among others. Big Chief out.

So, I've been thinking about doing a little more fun content but with photography.

I do take casual photos when I'm out and about, sometimes finding things that interest me and I could do something fun with.

I was thinking of doing draw-over content with pretty much all of them involving Stein and/or Bakari as the main subjects.

A good example is I take pictures of rocks and Bakari is enjoying the sight of so many rocks. Rock is infinite.

Would that be something you may like to see occasionally?

It's just something I've been sitting on for some time but never did anything with is all. Could be fun. :D

So I've been using discord since it first came out. I even own a few private servers for various things and communities.
My own personal server has been going for a long time now. Mainly for close friends, their friends and such. People I approve of. Pretty tight knit.

However, recently I've been thinking about having one that's purely for artwork, sharing others and generally a hangout, chat community for fans, friends and so on.

It'll be heavily oriented on a little more loose and open community, but there will be some rules of course. Can't be a good community without reasonable rules.

Would this interest anyone and would you like to be a part of this?

Nothing is being made yet, but if there's honestly enough interest it's definitely next on my agenda to create a nice environment where fun can be had. :D

Comic page will be delayed today as I haven't been too productive over the weekend or yesterday.

Mania and various pains make for a difficult few days.
I'm a little better today though. Managed to sleep a solid 7 hours, so I'm feeling pretty good to work today.
Expect it no later than tomorrow.

Exactly what it says on the title.

If it interests seeing things over there as well, go ahead and take a look.
It'll be getting updated to show my personal favourites, and primary artworks. (Just some older ones omitted)

Check it out:

So taking a couple weeks away from being cooped up with the pains has been pretty good.

(It's cold where I live right now though, so there's still that sensitivity to be careful of.)

I've got some fun potential things to work with again, as well as some renewed desire to create again.
Expect things to be normal again.
I got some comic stuff, some memes and nice surprises coming ahead.

Sometimes a little TLC gets the mind in order and going out places makes for good fun.

Sleeping has been difficult lately, so I'll be taking some time away from working, computer etc.

At least I won't be on it as much for a while.

It could be a while before I do anything big again, but I really need this break is all.
Gonna take some TLC time for myself and try get back on a normal sleep schedule.

In other news, I'll be making an InkBunny account ready for future as well, so I'll be posting over there later in the month too.
(Yay, more places to find me :D)

Thankfully, I don't have any comms to work on, so I can do all this pretty guilt free, but if anyone wants something from me you're still
welcome to toss me a note and we can work something out for the near future.

Big Chief appreciates the love and appreciation in return.
Expect some fun stuff to come as well as more Queen's Secret content after my break.

Peace.

Despite my sporadic scribbles and stuff, I'm still managing to stay sane with the quicker stuff.

About my health, I've had an x-ray taken and found out the cause to my jaw pain and shot nerves, so that'll be
getting seen to later in near future.

The waves of pain and loss of focus I've had throughout the days is almost killing my enjoyment to create.
I'll use this time to make rough stuff and maybe even finish up some stuff I had on the back-burner for a while. (Part 3 of something fun coming soon.)

I'll be powering through and not stressing about any personal deadlines or anything until I'm good. The extraction will be a while since I requested
to be knocked out and I called it in very suddenly. Thankfully I don't have to wait forever, right?

I'll keep things posted here in lil updates and whatnot.
In case you're wondering about next page of TQS, it's partially coloured at this point, so I have been working on it, just not a lot as much as I normally would.
I'll make a solid attempt at getting it and some other bigger things up before I take a lil break. :D

Stay tuned for more as it comes. Much love.

I had a decent stint where the pain was subsiding, but now it's returned in full force and is making me lose sleep and focusing is hard.
I've only really managed to knock out some quick things lately for the most part.

Also been trying to take time out and play things like Deep Rock Galactic and Dragon Dogma 2 that came out recently.
At least I had fun, right?

But seriously, it's looking like I'm definitely going to need some dental surgery done in the very near future.
It's not fun, but I'm getting by.

So unlikely to post on the usual time again, but it doesn't mean it's paused.
There's some other things coming as well, so stay tuned for whatever this ol' cat puts out. >:D

Stay tuned.

Had some ideas floating around for some YCH type content.

Should I do that?
Would it be something you might find interesting?

I'm likely to post some bases in the coming months as I start wrapping up the story for Queen's Secret,
so don't expect it right now >:D

Fun ideas, so I'll keep you posted.

I'll keep it short and sweet.

Been a little on and off last week. Only managing some rough work mostly.

Also today I've been dealing with some very distracting jaw pain, but I've been on some meds to kinda kill some of the pain.

Page 42 of Queen's Secret will be delayed only by up to a day. I've been a little behind on it and I was also doing a comm that came up pretty much last minute, but I nailed that on time. :D

Don't worry, you'll be seeing more of Rudo and the gang very soon. I won't be making a habit of this.

I'm taking on comms again.

Check 'em out.

Short and sweet here.

I had a pleasant time over the season.
Got some time off, played around and generally had a decent time.

Did some little things here and there but nothing too crazy.
Got some surprises coming soon, as well as the next comic page of Queen's Secret.

Oh and a good New Year when it comes by.

Big Chief says so.

So I've been taking it easy this week, catching up with people, playing some games and generally having an easier end of year.

Next page of Queen's Secret is likely to be pushed to next week, so don't fret about that too much. :D

There will be some little surprises on the way.

So have a good holiday wherever and whenever you are.

And stay safe also.

Quick update:

I've returned from my holiday Sunday evening and resting most of today and will likely do tomorrow as well.

Also come down with something and its kicking my ass.

Will try and make efforts to do the next page of The Queen's Secret this week, but it won't be a high priority while I'm on this down time.
Hopefully will recover and be able to focus back to normal.

Stay tuned for more as it comes. >:D

Just a quick one here.

I'll be going away for a while starting on the 26th this month.
I then return on the 6th, Oct and will most likely be back to normal schedule the following week.

Don't worry though, page 21 of Queen's Secret is on its way before I leave later that morning. :D

I'll do good and get on some catchup after that. Got a few plans floating around.

I should have started using this earlier.
Better late than never.

Been unable to upload today's TQS comic page due to FA not accepting my upload.

I'll continue fiddling around with alternate browsers, cache and such etc.

Probably just one of those things that'll be fine in a few hours or even tomorrow, so don't be too surprised if you see the page today or not.

FA is a perfectly working website with no faults whatsoever. /s

This person is going through a rough time. Help them out, forward the link even.
It's worth a look.

They do some pretty nice work too.

So now that I can finally chill a little after presenting a bit of my comic, I'll be working to get at least 1 page out a week every Tuesday, unless otherwise stated.

I'm also still reworking my comm/price sheet as I'm not satisfied with the rush job I put out when I started posting.

On another note, not entirely sure what I'll do on the side, since I do want to focus on Queen's Secret primarily.
While balancing an improved lifestyle such as gym sessions during the week and tackling some problems with schizophrenia pretty much head on the past few months has been a hell of a task.

But hey I'm getting by and feeling pretty nice overall. Packing away big meals and pumping some muscle will do that, I think. :3

Onward and upwards eh?

Hej hej, vi ses på tirsdag!

New machine arrived about a week now.
Having some teething problems like one OS not functioning with certain programs and games etc, while the other doesn't detect my GPU altogether.

At least I got CSP up and running so I can get back to scribbling my usual BS. :D
I can work out the rest later.

Expect some stuff to come.

Big Chief coming in to just say have a good holiday whatever that may be for the end of 2022.

Whether that's Christmas, Yule or even Kwanzaa and so on.

Have a good new year as well regardless.

Here's to a brilliant 2023 with many great things to come.

Skål og god nytår.
