Verry Bigmass!
Posted 2 years agoBoy, I should've cleared out the old journals, awhile back. That, much like the planet, is on me. Oho-ho =3
What a year, yikes. Nearly everyone seems to have been through a rough few years, post-covid! It's been a rollercoaster year, for sure. Still, this chapter is wrapping up better than it started, at the last minute, so it's not all bad!
I know not everybody celebrates the holidays, and it isn't always fun for everybody--but we've got here, at least, and that's something ^^
However things are going right now, hang in there a bit longer, and enjoy what you can, where you can, as best as you can. I can't say what 2024 will be like, but as long as we're in it, might as well reasonably hope for better X3
So, yeah, a very Merry Christmas to those celebrating, and a Superlative Sunday and Mellow Monday to you all!
*checks teeny watch, squinting* Well, a Mellow Monday, anyhow <=3

A New Biggening
Posted 3 years agoHuh, misspelled 'beginning'. Oh, well! We're doin' it live!
Boy, is there a lot to cover. Any chances of replacing that humongous previous journal with a trim one went out the window, throughout the month.
First off, holy smokes. Thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you so much. T___T I woke up to find the tumbleweed replaced with considerably softer materials, and like 230 freaking replies, so...I was a little intimidated at the prospect of replying individually...then it became over 400, and ah...yoikes! Please rest assured, I went through every single one, twice over. It's not a magic insta-heal for the past years of bad circumstances/choices, but it did annihilate multiple dreads and lift a ton of weights, and that means so much. Again, thank you! *bows*
Second, sorry it's been weeks in between journals! I'll be mass-favoriting and watching soon, so beware! Please!
I didn't have too much to update with at the time, and posting up the old art is pretty self-explanatory; in terms of art, though, I now DO have a buttload to share with y'all. Hold tight!
Okay, here's what's new:
https://twitter.com/Dnapalmhead
I don't know how much I'll be on this bad boy, but I'll be sociable where I can, when I can think of stuff worth sharing!
Okay, fine, you might say. That's nice, but what about comics? What about art, in general??
Well, here's a big one: X3
https://www.patreon.com/Dnapalmhead
Yup! Comic sales have a new home...er, homes! Hear me out on this!
So, I asked around, and around, and around, and AROUND, all month long, and what I got back overwhelmingly as the prime option of sales was Patreon. I thought about the old E-Junkie store, and heard how some people had a lot of problems downloading or getting payments to go through, so I figured a Patreon would streamline things. ALL comic releases going forward will be on Patreon, with some caveats, so before anyone put off by Patreon groans or starts for the keyboard, you have other options! We'll get to them. :) But for those interested, 1-2 comics would get released on a SINGLE pay tier. Just one. Nothing more, nothing less. That means for a flat rate ($10 a month), you get at least one, sometimes 2 comic releases, as well as some scattered bits of behind-the-scenes comic process stuff: roughs, inks, flats, stuff that I actually get asked about a lot. Considering the average comic used to cost about that much or more, just for one, I figure that's pretty fair. If it's not your speed...again, we'll get to that.
Well, the streamlined price is one thing...but I don't always get ALL of your stuff! What if I just want to pick what I want, so I don't have to commit to Patreon?
Well, theoretical voice, there's THIS option, instead:
https://payhip.com/DnapalmheadsBigstravaganzhuge
For about the same price, you can grab the copy of the exact single thing you were interested in. ^^ That way, if you don't feel like Patron...ing, you don't have to. Think of the Patreon as a bulk discount route! And even the individual comics have been marked down from about 29 cents per page to 19 cents-ish, so hey. Hopefully that helps!
Argh, but still, again with the paywall!
...All jokes aside, you know, the paywall aspect did honestly bother me, back in the day. I mean, I still needed to pay bills and eat and all that, but what could I do? Well:
https://ko-fi.com/dnapalmhead
I'm taking a leap of faith, here, but I do think that this is way more beneficial to those who can't always afford comics, or wanted to support how they could, but maybe just couldn't afford it like others. So, here's what: starting now, unless otherwise stated as premium to Patreon, all new comics will be put on a delayed release of 3 months. So that means, in no uncertain or vague terms, that 3 months after a comic is put up on my Patreon/Payhip, it gets put online for others to enjoy. I've seen other artists do this, and still do totally fine, so we're going to try it out here. <3
...Okay, but doesn't that ruin chances of you selling your old comics??
Eh, I'm not going to. I mean, they've BEEN out in the open so long, there's no real point. As such, this leads to yet ANOTHER update: It'll take awhile, but I will be putting up the old for-sale comics here, on FA, in their own folders. I mean, they've been out long enough, I figure. Honestly, most sales go quiet after a month or two, anyway, so it really shouldn't hurt sales. :) Everyone can win...or at least, get way closer than before to it!
Well, what's the Ko-fi for, then?
Since new comics will be getting delayed releases, IF PEOPLE FEEL LIKE IT, they can donate whatever they think is fair, through Ko-fi. Only if they can, or want to.
...Whew. Okay! I think that's–
Hold up. Wait. What about old art, though? Didn't you still have some food on your plate?
I did, and do! Yes! I still owe several people pictures from the CYOA funding project, I haven't forgotten! Actually felt really guilty about them, for a long time, and am very eager to amend that! If you're reading this, please Note me, so we can fix this! And holy cow, THANK YOU FOR YOUR PATIENCE T___T
I...I think that's seriously everything! The theoretical voice is gone.
Oh, boy. Okay. OH! No, wait! XD NOTES!
I've gotten so many very, very kind notes, not a single one has been bad! Just to be clear! This next part isn't to brag or anything, I swear, but uh...I've cleared over 250 notes since the journal, and it does get a bit much! Again, not mad! You've all been incredibly kind! <3 Just, if it's a note you're thinking of sending, or a Discord invite, or you're asking why I'm not on Discord much, it's because I've been busting my hump on getting things in life squared away, and not just art. That too, though!
So it isn't meant to be anti-social, but unless it's a nice, one-to-two-note hello or how've-you-been, then maybe hold off on it. <:) At least, until further notice!
I think that really is it. Regular non comic art will also start back up, of course!
I hope this helps clarify on what's going on! Thank you so much again, I love you guys T_____T

*Grabs a Dustpan and Broom...*
Posted 3 years ago*proceeds to brush off numerous cobwebs, and an unexplained indoor tumbleweed*
Yup, this time the rumors are true–it's me. Seriously!
I've already had to prove my identity on several occasions recently to a few I already contacted, including a couple of phone calls and memory trivia tests...which, I mean, that's understandable. I'll explain more in a moment, but the immediate takeaway here is, I'm okay. I'm safe, alive and well, all limbs accounted for. I've more recently seen the volume of social wonderings, rumors, and general concern for my well-being online, and while even I can't account for every single point of public confusion, I'll do my best. Here goes.
Whether you've followed my bizarre disappearance/withdrawl from the community in 2017, or you're coming in fresh, and wondering who the hell I am, I can offer a footnotes version of what actually happened. If we did the novel, we'd be here all night:
In early 2017, it probably looked like I was steadily waning with my interests here. I commented about wanting to move on to other things, then all my stuff vanished from my page, then I finally bowed out–well, comics aside. We'll get to that.
It probably looked like I woke up one morning with cartoon hypno-eyes, and was like 'Eh, I think I'll give up everything I built here online and blow whatever goodwill I had garnered, to take care of Voco', who I had already been in contact with for a time before this point. I'd had a rocky relationship/friendship with him for years, on and off. He came from a legit nasty homelife, abuse, the whole nine. People talk like he was Satan in the flesh, but...not really. He was a confused, busted guy with flimsy social skills, and a lifetime of bad habit training, and a part of me did care about him, despite the fact we didn't always get along.
What some of you witnessed in 2017 wasn't a sudden eruption, but the tail end of a long, long, loooong wick, that had been lit since 2006. I didn't just wake up one day and say 'sure, I'll leave to help you out and we'll live together', because he asked one day. The idea of our living together had been floated on and off for over a decade. Blunt honesty: I could say no all the other times, leading up to 2017, because I knew there was always somewhere else he could go, or it at least seemed that way. My saying no wouldn't put him out on the street, I thought. So, if you find yourself thinking 'Jesus, DNA, you really need to learn to say no'...well, I actually did. Many times.
Well, in 2017, it happened. He genuinely was on the outs with his family, and was looking to be evicted from his place, and out on the street. Well, when it was clear there was nowhere else he could go...yeah. That was the Shotgun Wedding, the do-or-die point. And the truth is, I couldn't do it. I couldn't tell him no, that time. There was no other place to pass that buck. I looked into places he could go on his own, but neither of our credit was that great. I even looked into shelters and the YMCA, and when nothing worked, I finally, finally agreed.
After that, for some time, I was in something close to a fugue state. I was pretty despondent, and I just sort of agreed to things with him, out of my head. Well, I mean, we still argued about some things. I had a journal I was going to post up, it got edited, we argued more about the edits, until I just sort of faded off and posted it edited, just to stop it–which was the journal sitting here for years. It was a war of attrition, and I had the severe handicap. To that effect, YES...I did genuinely want to do other things, non-macro. I still do. But, I didn't mean for that sentiment to come out the way it did, like I was done with furry, period. The only reason I left was because...well, Voco was already held in a certain light, and I don't know who would disagree with the notion that my staying here AND taking care of him full-time was nearly impossible. At least taking him away, that would be that.
Only, it wasn't. Shortly after his arrival and our moving into a small 1-room apartment together, he suffered a Pulmonary Embolism, and made it through. He was on warfarin for half a year. It was tough, but things weren't too terrible. We disagreed on things, but...eh. A little later, word got out about Voco's past, and it was like some tabloid expose hit. He did concerning stuff in the past, but it was in self-defense. Seriously. I saw the evidence in print, myself. Everyone got insanely worried, from that point.
And don't think my tone means I'm just blindly defending him. We'll get to that.
So, time passes. Very, very long story short, things deteriorated. We argued, then outright fought in a pretty steady pattern. Some days were okay, some were extremely ugly. Comics maintained rent and bills for a surprisingly long while, but soon I had to take on work to compensate for the boycott. We'll cut to the next part:
It was early 2020, we'd talked, and some ultimatums had been established. He thought it would be justifiable to cross a certain line, and I very loudly disagreed. In no uncertain terms, I terminated our arrangement, and told him goodbye. To his credit, he went ahead and left, and has gone onto other things since. I am to understand from communiques sent that things in his life are actually...looking up. He had lost like 80lbs and was on a diet when he left, he reconnected with his family, and I believe he found work and is trying therapy. Those tibdits came some time ago, but I sincerely hope he's doing better. That would be nice.
With that all said, I am not speaking to him. A lot of damage was done, and while I would just as soon never see him again, I make no call for blood, no revenge for being wronged, so on, so forth. I can only hope that those who wish him ill can leave him be, if not forgive. That's my hope, at least. I won't tell anyone what to do. It'd be hypocritical for me to regain my freedom, then turn around and start telling others what to think. You disagree with that thinking, that's your right. But to engage him would be to continue the cycle, and I'm just...I'm done. No more. That's my own call.
So...since that time, why didn't I just come running back?
I was tempted, yeah. But I was in bad shape. Mentally, physically, financially. I'd love to play it all off with jokes and act fine, but there was a toll. Had I come right back, I'd have likely imploded in less than a month, tops. I honestly didn't feel well enough to message others until recently, and even contacting people I loved was nervewracking. It might sound ridiculous, but a lot happened. Like, a lot. I had spent last year trying to focus on working at the job I had to take, after the comic boycott had done its damage. That job was good enough that I stayed on, though I admit, I'm still climbing out of debt. To be clear, I had some debt before he entered the picture, but it...increased, during our time together.
As for money, let's get this out of the way: I understand why the boycott happened. It's easy to understand. But I don't condone it, and it didn't even remotely work. All it did was make an already-incredibly-hard task way, way harder. You can't save someone from the 'cancer' by blowing holes in the patient with a 'saving' gun. Still, I get it. It was misguided, but hell, so was my setting half of everything aside, to take care of him, when I knew he was unstable. So.
That said, I'm still sorry. I'm sorry for vanishing in such a fashion, and for the confusion and fear it spread. I didn't mean to scare so many of you like that, nobody deserves that. I wasn't myself then, and I'm not really sure what I am now. I'm not going to become some embittered dick or anything, so please, don't worry! <X3 I'm just...still figuring it out.
I don't exactly know how to proceed, despite constantly thinking about it. I have some ideas, but that can wait a short bit. I think you all might need time to process this, the same as I did. And still do.
We'll get to art, what I should do with my page, comics, and all that shortly. I still have some owed pictures long-standing, which only adds to the embarrassment over this whole thing. And that was a problem Voco had nothing to do with, I was lousy about completing multiple commissions/projects well beforehand, and that's the truth. It just floors me that you all were as kind as you were to me, even when I was stuck or dragging my feet on some achingly slow work. Like I said, we'll get to that very soon, in a follow-up journal.
But for now...hi! <:)
I'm back.

It was misguided, but hell, so was my setting half of everything aside, to take care of him, when I knew he was unstable. So.
That said, I'm still sorry. I'm sorry for vanishing in such a fashion, and for the confusion and fear it spread. I didn't mean to scare so many of you like that, nobody deserves that. I wasn't myself then, and I'm not really sure what I am now. I'm not going to become some embittered dick or anything, so please, don't worry! <X3 I'm just...still figuring it out.
I don't exactly know how to proceed, despite constantly thinking about it. I have some ideas, but that can wait a short bit. I think you all might need time to process this, the same as I did. And still do.
We'll get to art, what I should do with my page, comics, and all that shortly. I still have some owed pictures long-standing, which only adds to the embarrassment over this whole thing. And that was a problem Voco had nothing to do with, I was lousy about completing multiple commissions/projects well beforehand, and that's the truth. It just floors me that you all were as kind as you were to me, even when I was stuck or dragging my feet on some achingly slow work. Like I said, we'll get to that very soon, in a follow-up journal.
But for now...hi! <:)
I'm back.
