Hey y'all!

The long, very long, a little too long story arc Deer-ly Beloved is finally at its end! I've finished the strips and uploaded them for patrons, and when they go public on the 30th, they'll be the last TGOT comic strips for what will probably be a long time. And with that concluded, some changes are coming!

The biggest of these is that The Gray Old Trees will no longer be a regularly-updating comic strip. It's very time- and energy-intensive to make, and I want to have the freedom to work on other projects with other characters and settings. That said, this isn't the end of TGOT! It's still a series that is very dear to me, and I have more stories to tell with it. Those stories, though, may not take the form of traditionally-inked strips of the sort I've made up to now, and I won't be committing to any timeframe for production or release. If I have the idea and the inclination, I'll work on it; if not, I have other projects I'm excited about.

Speaking of which, I can't wait to get those going now that I'll have the time to work on them! I've made some character studies and illustrations already, some of which I've posted here. There's a thrill to starting a new series that I haven't felt in a long time, and I'm really enjoying myself. I'm looking forward to exploring these new creative avenues and sharing them with y'all!

Time to get drawing~
