Important Update!

Hey everyone!

I just wanted to say I'm sorry for not uploading any new comics last week, I've been back-to-back working on 2 client comics while dealing with moving back home and still grieving for and being pretty depressed about my dog's death and I haven't really had the time/energy to work on anything outside of my client obligations

I also cannot apologise enough for being behind with everyone's Patreon sketches. I've been trying to figure out when I can actually get them done and I've managed to schedule some time to do them and keep on top of them going forward (detailed below) so hopefully I won't end up in this much of a mess again! Thank you so so much for being so patient with me through this! Everyone has been super cool and chill and understanding and I'm incredibly grateful.

I've been trying to take care of myself by still allowing myself to have fun for an hour or two during the day or in the evenings outside of works so please understand that if you see me chatting in Discord or playing on my Switch, it's not because I'm not busy but it's because I'm trying to stop myself from falling into a deep burnout.

I do very much feel like I'm on the cusp of burning out in a big way since I've been going what feels like non-stop since ...August? I can't even remember now haha. But I'm doing everything I can to take care of myself as a person as well as an artist while also managing this super tight schedule that I've gotten myself into.

Anyway if all of this sounds defensive, it's because it is! I was hanging out in a stream with a friend the other day (I was working at the same time) and I advertised it on Twitter. One of my clients joined and shamed me for 'not being productive' and while I'm sure it was meant as playful rudeness, it super scared the shit out of me and realised one of my worst fears so... I'm trying to walk the line between working hard and catching up on all the stuff I'm late with while also treating myself like a person who needs breaks and fun ;____;

Anyway gosh I am so rambly in these things, sorry about that!

Here's my strategy/schedule going forward that will hopefully allow me to do everything that I need to do without killing myself in the process. I'm showing you this because I think some of you may be interested in it haha but also so that people who are waiting on new comics and patreon sketches can have a clear idea of when to expect them and why the delays are happening:

21st - 24th: In this time I'll still be working on Darkward, one of my client comics. The deadline for this is the 24th so I'm not able to work on anything else until I've wrapped this up

25th: I've been commissioned to create a piece of music for a client. This is very new ground for me but that's what I'll be doing on this day. The deadline is the 26th so it's going to be super tight aaa

26th + 27th: 4 new comics to account for the week that I missed and cover the week that it will be then

28th: Graphics for 10k Insta celebration/giveaway and graphics for a Secret Thing that will be announced on 1st October! I will also definitely be spending this day agonising over trying to name my comic since I need to settle on something like *now* as a result of the Secret Thing.

29th - 30th: Catching up on all the Patreon Sketches that were due at the ened of August/start of September (I'm so so sorry it's taken this long!!!)

1st-2nd: 2 new comics! Business as usual

3rd-4th: Full body commission and D&D (hopefully I won't have to cancel again aa)

5th-8th: Catching up on the Patreon Sketches that were due at the start of October (I'm sorry!)

9th-10th: 2 new comics. Business as usual!

11th-14th: A Much Needed Break!

15th-16th: 2 new comics

17th-19th: GN pitch

20th-21st: 2 new comics

22- 25th: THDA guest comic

26th-27th: 2 new comics

28th-30th: Patreon Sketches (Due at the end of October)

31st: Day off! Halloween!

And after all of that I want to fall into a deep sleep for all of November haha. I'll still be doing things like Patreon sketches, new comics and working on my pitch but my plan is to not take on any new client work for this entire month if possible because holy moly ya gurl needs a break.

Anyway! I hope that clears everything up! I am so so deeply sorry for the delays with new comics and patreon sketches and I hope you can understand ;__; <3 

Thank you all so much for your support, it means the world to me!
