Three years ago today, I started the "What If" story idea called "Tad the Lost Explorer and the Jaguar Trial." This was the very first concept art that ignited the project.

Fist image!


What is the Jaguar Trail about?
Max Mordon, a villain from the first adventure, escaped Paititi to get his revenge on Tad Jones. Once he found Tad, he used an enchanted amulet, believing it would kill him. Instead, it transformed Tad into a jaguar.

With the help of his friends, Tad must race back to Paititi to protect it from Max and the remaining members of Odysseus Inc. All the while, he must complete the Jaguar Trial to return to his normal form.

Who is Tad?
Tad (Tadeo Jones) is a character created by Enrique Gato. He is a spoof of Indiana Jones. Tad first appeared in two short films, followed by two comics, and then starred in his first movie. Since then, the character has expanded into video games, musicals, a short-lived educational show, and two more movies, with a fourth film set to release in 2026.

What are your thoughts on this concept story?

I done a quick animatic!

Tad the Lost Explorer and the Secret of King Midas on YouTude!


UPDATE
The movie has been switch to rental I guses the free with ads was temporary.

This just came up on my feed, the second movie is now on Youtube as a free watch with ads!
The first movie is on Xumo
https://play.xumo.com/free-movies/t.....XM0HF1GQ1203V8

So if you want to see the movie franchise I'm a crazy about, now's you chance to watch them.
The third movie has yet to have a free watch since it only three years old but I'm sure some pirate site has it.

The new pages of my comics "Zoe's Night" "First Time" & "The Little Yeen" are coming!

Warning the five pages of "The Little Yeen" are a little graphic. just thought I let you all know.

I saw some post on online about paypals feedback.

https://x.com/darnact/status/1991645984347086854

If this is true then pleases don't fill it out. I turned the feature off but just letting you all know just in case.

I was told on discord I should get to Sofurry cause their better site but I'm not so sure it seem like any site I go to is like a ghost town. plus the site is down so I can't look at it to make a decision, and yes I know about problems with that site, so yeah FA has problems too.

Has anyone here have a Sofurry site? and what's your experience with it?

It's turkey month!

I don’t have much of an update on my art right now. My comics are still ongoing, so if anyone wants to donate to keep them going, it would be appreciated.

My mom is doing alright. Her recovery will take about four weeks, which covers most of this month. After that, she will need to start chemotherapy.

Mom's recovery
The surgery went well yesterday but they had to keep her over night for observation, she going to come home today.

Halloween story
I did had this on story I written featuring Thorn the witch rabbit but due to the surgery thing I didn't have time to work on the illustrations on it. so I may have to post it with out it for the time being until I can finish the drawings. Or should I put the story on my Ko-fi store? Yes I'm planning to open the Kofi store. or should I just make this a comic?

Note "whatever I choses" is not and answer I want to know what YOU all want.


And thanks to everyone kind words in the last journal :)

Happy Halloween.

Wish us luck my mom is going into surgery tomorrow so I don't know how it will go, but I do you that after words I'll be taking care of her again...

I wish I can get a caretaker job so I can pay bills but with this whole thing and med insurance saying my mom's not qualified. So we gave up on it, and I'm stuck in a stressful situation, and the kicker is the rest of the family except my dad never calls me to see how I'm doing since they put me in this condition the only talk to mom but not to me unless to tell me when mom's meds are going to come or doctor appointments other from that nothing...

Sorry for the rant but this is really getting to me. I wish I can have a stable income and a family that gave a shit for me.

Changing of the laptops
It's the last day of Windows 10 I'm currently transferring all my files and projects I'm working on to a new laptop that has a Windows 11 I just update the storage so it can hold more stuff and programs.
The repair place I got it from also took care of all the crap Windows 11 had and disabled them so I have no problems.

I may be able to do live streams as soon as I can find the right date to do the streams and platform cuz I don't trust twitch.

I'm still keeping to old laptop for storage

Unpaid caretaker
I'm back to having to take care of my mom indefinitely which means I have to be home to keep an eye on her driver to where she needs to go and to doctor's appointments which makes job hunting even more difficult to the point of impossible especially since by the end of this month she has to go into surgery so now I'm hoping that goes well so it doesn't hinder me anymore than I already am financially if I was able to get paid as a caretaker for her it would be no problems but we tried that and apparently she doesn't qualify so now I'm back to square one with everything trying to build an income with my art which is not easy.

Commissions, Kofi and merch

My commission are open if you want to support me with that or leaving a tip on my kofi.

I posted my last art for #septENMber on DA

On DA I've been called "the evil universe version of Rick Griffin"
and that this is my kink.

I'm pretty sure I don't have a kink. Isn't kink mean sexual? I don't get a sexual charge from this. I'm just challenging myself to go farther with what I can do with my characters so I'm not stagnant with boring cookie-cutter stuff that no one is interested in.

But I'm not evil just for doing art that everyone is doing but not to a high extreme. the point of that art is action and consequence and it better then being in a jail and Archer and Ella agreed to it if it keeps them out of jail.

Wow I'm really catching a lot eyes.

And no I'm not letting theses comments get to me, I just found it interesting seeing what others response is.

I would like to give everyone an update on the comic drive and interact more with all of you.
First off, thank you to everyone who has supported the comics; it means a lot to me, and I'm glad you all like them.

The Orb of Fear: This comic is complete, and the last two pages will be posted along with a thank-you page for the supporters.

Zoe Night Jog: The next two pages are currently being worked on and will be posted soon.

The Little Yeen: A new page is ready for posting.
The First Time: This is the longest comic; five pages have been funded and are currently in progress.

Jawva and the Angry Idol: The next page has almost reached its funding goal—great job, everyone!

Archer's Pants Game: He still has his pants on!

That’s all the comics available for now.
What are your thoughts on these comic stories? Which one is your favorite and why?

Also please don't ask questions that will spoiler the comic for everyone.

I got a note asking me this question about Charlie Kirk

"What are your opinions on Charlie Kirk's death? And the people that are mocking or celebrating it?"

I don't really like to discuss politics, as stated in my KJBat comic, because I know people in this snowflake culture don't appreciate it when others have opinions different from their own but here it goes...

The death of Charlie Kirk was tragic and it's must be hard for his family he got taken away from. All he wanted was to have conversations and encourage people to share their opinions and debate. I don't watch him that much sometimes in rare moment his videos come up in my feed on YT and I watch a little of it, and I have no issues with it cause he's not doing anything wrong he's just sharing his view point on today culture which in my opinion is so mess up.

He didn't deserve to be killed for that. At the end of the day, he's a human being, and just because some people disagreed or not liking him doesn’t give anyone the right to take his life. Those who mock or celebrate his death are truly evil. And I heard their getting fired for it which is good, that type of behavior is unacceptable and those type of people just shows us how dangerous they are.

Think about it all it takes is for you to have and opinions and they'll kill you for it just to silence you?! That is just wrong!

I think theirs a word for people who do that and wishing assassination to other people they don't like for their opinions...

Now that I've said this, if you don't like what I have to say, unfollow me; that's okay with me. I don't celebrate killing to silence an innocent person for having an opinion.

This snowflake culture is getting out of hand. I say snowflake because apparently I'm not allowed to use the "W" word without being called a grifter.

Anyway that's all I have to say and thank you for taking the time to read this.

RIP Charlie Kirk

HI everyone,

I'm making a few updates and changes;

I updated my front page profile here so it mas more info, My commissions are still open for anyone interested.

I was attending a five-week course Last month so here's hoping I can find something during my job hunting if not then I'm back to square one, Should I stat a gofund me to pay my bills?
I also received a new laptop as a graduation gift, which helped me save some money. Now, I just need to figure out live streaming.


Comic drive is still ongoing!

That's All I have for now if you have any question ask below.

For some reason, I can't access Picarto streams; all I'm getting is a blank screen. I guess I won't be using that stream server for live streams.

Maybe I should try twitch since that's where the audience is but it has issues with playing copyrighted music.

Until the YT BS issue is resolved I will be posting my videos on Rumble. Additionally, I am opening a Vimeo account for my portfolio video reels, I may ever try Newground

It's important not to put all your eggs in one basket.

If you would like to follow me, here is the link: https://rumble.com/user/Kimjimagery

I did come across this one video explaining how we can work around this issue like creating our own websites and video postings and he left a list of options he brought up archive.org and I do have a accounts on there but I mostly used it to post videos and stuff that have either been deleted or lost but looking at it now I think I will start uploading my videos on there so it's archived.

If you want to watch his videos go here.


There were videos made on how to work around the AI YouTube by viewing videos incognito but who knows if that would actually work what if the AI is use to look at what we favored or liked, this whole Fiasco is one big slippery slope and all of this was started because of Collective Shouts they open the flood gate of the censorship they decisive all the backlash their getting now!

I also heard Trump has signed an executive order titled “Guaranteeing Fair Banking for All Americans” and it could be a massive blow to payment processor censorship, Tramp not a good guy but at lest he did the right thing here, the only thing is this is a executive order it's hasn't been put into law yet.

So there are up sides to counter the down side.

Due to the recent censorship issues with MasterCard and Visa, I am considering removing NSFW art from my commission options, at least until things settle down. I would like to focus more on SFW commissions than NSFW ones, but I am concerned this may affect my ability to attract more clients.

But I'm keeping a eye on this cause it dose affect ALL artist.

I'm still out job hunting, and it's becoming more intense than ever since I need to replace my laptop by October. I've been working on being more active online so I can pay my bills and stay afloat.

Speaking of which, I have a few questions:

1.Why are you following me?
2.What did you like about my work?
3. What are your thoughts on my current comics?

Hey there! Exciting news!

Mom is back home from the hospital and already she infuriates me. She's giving medications and stuff but it now looks like I'm back to having to take care of her again and she always got to be a pain in my ass about it and make things difficult for me so I may as well forget ever having dreams of being an animator or anything cuz it's near impossible for me and having to deal with her at the same time.

It's just too much and can't even get a job not even a caretaker job just to take care of her since I won't be able to get a normal job due to this situation and already I'm stressed out again, I don't even know how I'm going to pay to get a new computer when October comes around I truly hate my life nothing ever goes my way.
I truly am just a punching bag of the family with no life of my own and broken hopes and dream... :(

Mom had a relapse, I took her to the ER.
I have to be cursed with the most unnatural bad luck.
