Doing a multi-stream with some friends, working on comic pages for the most part, also going to be working on an offline image for my picarto channel.

Feel free to drop in if you have the time.

As you may or may not have noticed, I have been unable to upload pages the last couple of days, and for those of you who know me a little better I have been very difficult to get hold of to talk to. Though a lot of BS has been happening to stress me out or make things difficult the big one that managed to knock me over finally happen. If you want to know why that is then continue reading. I'm sorry if I am not very good at wording or typing today, I have a very large stress induced migraine. Anyway.

My dog fell down the stairs and broke his leg, at least that is what we thought happened, it turned out that he didn't fall down and break his leg, he fell down because he was trying to use the stairs and his leg was broken.

When we took him to the vet they discovered that he has cancer, and the reason his leg was broken was because a tumor in his leg had grown so large it had broken then bone.

My options were to put him down, or have his leg amputated. Then optionally, follow that up with chemo.

So I went the amputation root, he had the surgery yesterday and I have been told it went well, he is eating and such but he's still not standing up on his own at the moment, so he'll be staying at the vet for today as well.

Without chemo, I have been told that he has a 'good' six month left, with chemo it would be a 'good' year. I'm still on the fence with chemo for two reasons, I most likely will not be able to afford it as well as I don't treatments like that to make him miserable (what would be the point to prolonging his life if he's just going to be sick and miserable the whole time?)

What does this mean? Well, my dog has cancer, and not much time left. I want to be able to spend more time with him while I can. This also means that my computer well be going back down to the main floor (because he can't get up the stairs) so little to no privacy for me while I am on the internet or working on the computer.

I will do my best to keep working on my webcomics, but the pacing on them may unfortunately be unsteady and all over the place. (again, this is not the only thing making things difficult for me to work on art at the moment) I understand that things are already going pretty slow, but I will do the best I can to keep them going despite the snail like release schedule.

Soooo as mentioned in the uploads life has been a pain hectic and unkind to me lately, I will not bore you with the long list of details and simple explain that because of those complications I have been very behind on everything, so much so that I have completely lost track of uploading commissions that I have finished (I have still been giving the commissioners their pieces, I just have not been uploading them to my own personal gallery)

Anyway if you notice that a commission that I finished for you has not been uploaded and you would like to see it up in my gallery please contact me via PM and I will get it up. ALSO, if I accidentally uploaded a commission that was supposed to be privet please contact me as soon as you can and I will take it down (I apologize if that happened I tried my best to try and remember which were which)

If you are one of the few people still waiting on a commission, I am so sorry for the wait and I am doing my best to get to them. As I mentioned before, life is not being nice and my time to work on commissions has been very dismal (this even more of an issue for NSFW commissions)

I apologize for the trouble.

Very sorry about the lack of updates. My health has not been the best, so I have been only been able to focus updates to Tapastic for a while. Then a few days ago I started falling behind on new pages, as the wiring in the walls of my room the computer is in decided that it was a good idea to short and burn itself, so we had to get someone to come and rip wires out of the wall and fix everything.

The electricity is back in working order now, and though my health is fluctuating badly at the moment I am hoping that I am well enough to at least try and get other websites caught up on the pages that they have missed as I try to get back on track.

Those of you may or may not have noticed the links in the descriptions of comic page uploads mentioning that you can read a page ahead on Tapastic. Though I will continue to upload pages here (because I want readers to be able to indulge while on whatever website they are most comfortable on) there are a few benefits to me for those that choose to read the series on Tapastic. The big one being the recently implemented Ad Revenue program. Currently Tapastic is the only site in which I receive ad revenue from, so if you read pages from any of my comics on that website (without ad block on) it helps put some money my way at no cost to the readers. (This currently does not work when viewing on the phone)

As an added bonus, I have decided to add an extra page release to a comic series every time it hits a 100 subscriber milestone. Though the subscriber counts are exclusive to the website the extra pages will be available on all sites that host the comic. (It may take a little bit longer for Raven Wolf pages, as they take much longer to be made, but I will do my best to try and still release an extra page when a subscriber milestone is hit)

For those new to the Tapastic website who intend to check it out to help out, you’ll notice that the final page is locked. This is not permanent, it’s a temporary lock for tapastic supporters, the page will only be locked if it is the very last available page, and once the next page comes out will be unlocked with the lock transferring to the newest page.

So yeah, check them out there if you have the chance, as it really helps me out when you do.

A apologize to everyone for the lack up updates my galleries, commissions, the Raven Wolf comic, art streams and me being social on the internet in general. Life has been hectic and my health not so great, lately I've pretty much only been able to work on my 'No Future' comic (so I don't feel like I'm not doing anything at all) but that's about it. Things have been getting worked out though, and though not everything has been sorted through I can hopefully get back to working on the Raven Wolf comic and commissions once again soon.

Regarding Commissions
Note to those currently waiting on a commission from me: I apologize to those that have been waiting on me, if you feel that you no longer want to wait and want to withdraw your commission then feel free to contact me and I will offer you a refund. Again, I am very sorry for the wait you've had to go through.

There are going to be a few changes to commissions again, due to my younger sister moving back home I'll no longer be taking adult commissions, at least until her computer is no longer in the same room as my computer. I am just uncomfortable on working on that type of art with family in the same room as me or constantly moving around me. I hope that everyone understands.

Regarding Raven Wolf Comic
I have still not decided what to do with this comic since Inkblazer's shut down. I indeed plan to continue working on it, for now though it's kinda slown down because I need to decide on how to handle it. For now all the new pages can be found on tapastic http://tapastic.com/series/RavenWolf but I have yet to upload these pages anywhere else until I can figure out exactly how to handle complications regarding it. I'm not sure how long it will take to sort these problems out, but rest assured I am working at it the best that I can.

Regarding Raven Wolf Novel
New chapter coming soon =) Do look forward to it. (I did not forget)

I have some personal life things to do from January 16 - 26. Due to this I will not have access to my drawing equipment so I will not be able to work on any comic pages or commissions.

I will work hard on the days leading up to then try and have a buffer for 'No Future' and 'Raven Wolf' so that those days can still receive updates to them while I am away. I may not be able to complete enough in time though so unfortunately there may be a few updates that go without pages. If that is the case I will try my best to catch up when I get back.

For those who do not know yet, the website that I use as the main host for my webcomics ‘Inkblazers’ is going down. For those who would still like to keep up with my comics here are some links to help direct you to their new homes. For the most part I think I’ll be using Tapastic as my new main site. I’ll also be pretty dependent on Patreon funds at this point, so if you are able to help out through there that would be great.

Just another update on how I'm doing, as it's been a month and I seem to have almost disappeared from the internet except for comic pages being uploaded every once and a while x.x

My drawing and updates are still going to be a bit everywhere, and my online presence will continue to be very limited. I'm very sorry about that. I will try not to bore you with all the personal matters, just know that family, life, health and large changes to my household are still heavily affecting my schedule and work environment and leave it at that.

Anyway, I am just taking a moment informing everyone that I am still around, I am still working on things although at a very slow pace now, I apologizes for the inconvenience.

I'll do what I can to try and keep on schedule, but I may end up falling behind a little bit.

A few changes have happened to my family that directly affect me and my work environment, so I may fall a little bit behind as we get things settled and I try to pick things back up.

I apologizes for the inconvenience.

I am currently working on several comics. Pages on Inkblazers update as I finish them (keeping pages ahead on that website), while all other websites that I upload my comics to will only see updates once a week.

For those wondering on when to expect updates which update on what day, here is the schedule that I am going to be trying to go by.

Monday -Princess of Silver Sands (no page on Inkblazers at the moment)
Tuesday - SCaibot
Wednesday - Raven Wolf
Thursday - No Future
Friday - Zimiko Knights
Saturday - The Newlyweds Next-Door
Sunday - Shera and Knight, Heroes of Power and Might

Additional Notes.

1. As of now I am a little bit behind on 'The Newlyweds Next-Door' so you will see extra updates in addition to Saturday until I catch up to my schedule.
2. Princess of Silver Sands is also behind and will see the same extra updates.
3. Shera and Knight is not yet available for release, so until it is other series will get a page update on that day.

Don't forget to check out my Patreon to help continues supporting creation and release of these series. http://www.patreon.com/kura

Will only be happening once a week on Wednesdays outside of Inkblazers from now on as I attempt to catch up on commissions and my other comics.

For those like me that are celebrating it today =)

Mostly comic pages scheduled today, I'll try to throw commissions in if I have the time.

https://www.picarto.tv/live/channel.php?watch=kura

I'm afraid my excuse for this is 'I was working too much on commissions and kept losing track of time' and a combination of 'smash brothers'

Very sorry about that, Wednesday should see an update though.

I am hoping to find the time to do a halloween themed picture this year for my series.

Any characters you would like to see featured in it?

Costume suggestions you would like to see?

I just hoping to see some ideas to get the inspiration going =)

A Raven Wolf fanfic/crackfic by my friend desi. Was made some time ago but here is a link anyway for those who may not have read it yet. Leave a comment for her if ya like it and want to see more chapters from her.

It's been a while since I did one of these. I am very bad at advertizing myself ><

For those who have not given it a look yet, check me out on patreon at - http://www.patreon.com/kura

Please note that you do not have to pledge money to continue reading the series, those that do pledge will help in keeping Raven Wolf continue to be released while remaining free and available to everyone. They'll also be working toward opening up more exciting possibilities for Raven Wolf.

The patreon rewards will continue to improve depending on feedback on ideas for milestones and pledges.

So what is patreon? Well as described here http://youtu.be/wH-IDF809fQ it's a way for dedicated fans to help support artists, kinda like kickstarter but instead of funding a very big project, you're helping to fund updates and released for constant projects and keep them going, like Raven Wolf.

So yes, just a friendly reminder to check out the patreon page if you have not already.

This is more a message to the people waiting on commissions from me.

I will be out of town and therefor unable to work on commissions while I am out. I will be back Sunday though so I will be back to work then.

Do not worry, I have not forgotten you. Life is just slowing my schedule down a bit.

Working on commissions and comic pages today. Mostly gonna be commissions though.

I'll be taking commissions for the rest of this month and next month to help come up with funds that I need to pay off the furniture I got and the renovations that needed to be done on the rooms that I moved into.

If you are interested in a commission please contact me either by responding to this journal or sending me a private message and I will put you down on the list (for the few that I'm already doing commissions for, do not worry I have not forgotten about you and your commissions are in progress, I just want to make sure I can fit in as many as I can so I can get my bills paid off as efficiently as possible).

I only accept paypal payments.

If you have any questions do not be shy to contact me.

Check 'em out.

Still gotta bunch of stuff I need to take pictures of before I can add them (mostly bags, framed art and pencil cases) but most everything else should be up there so be sure to take a look =)

Very sorry for the absence and lack of updates, but I have been without internet and a computer for a little over a week. I pretty much only had my phone to go online with to answer a few texts and skype messages. I know moving from room to room sounds like an easier task, but I was pretty much given storage rooms where everyone threw everything they didn't feel like dealing with or putting away, and I was not allowed to move it somewhere else or to another room. It all had to be gone through and out away. So. Yeah. It is taking a while.

Though I am not finished unpacking and setting everything up the Internet and computer are both set up so I can once again communicate and work on my drawings between unpacking. I ended up having to buy some furniture (still need some furniture) so I'll very likely be opening commissions again (once I finish the few that I already have scheduled) so that I can help pay that off. So keep an eye out for that if you are interested.

Some additional good news, is that my computer is not in a room. So I will hopefully be less stressed when trying to work as well I will be able to work on adult commissions more often, and hopefully I can get back to streaming more often.

Anyway, back to unpacking for me. Just though I would do an update on this since I was finally able to.

Today I am holding the monthly Patreon request stream. Please be warned that the request stream may or may not result in an 18+ atmosphere (and as such you must be over 18 to join the stream). So please refrain from joining if that makes you uncomfortable. Anyone is welcome to join, but only the patreons in the 25$ tier pledges can request stuff.
