November Monthly Report

Added 2023-12-11 16:18:14 +0000 UTC

Hey, happy december, sorry I'm a bit late! Hope thanksgiving was good for the US folk, if not, hope it was a good 23rd.

Starting with a recap:

November was filled with more Half-Life brainworms in lieu of Half-Life's 25th anniversary, so we drew some Gordon and Freemance fan art.

The rest of nov was a bit slow after i finished inking all the show pieces and handing them off to the framer. I just put them up last week at Ember+Forge and i couldn't be happier! I couldn't get pictures of every piece on the wall but I will before the end of the month. To think i inked all of them in a week... I've also just been feeling burnt out/low energy so I'm taking it easy until the new year or as my mileage varies. All unsold pieces will be put up in my shop.. speaking of..

Announcing, my soft launch for my stand-alone merch store on Bigcartel!! Now accepting orders to the US + Canada.

This is something i've wanted to do for a while and i think i've reached the point to start moving away from etsy and it's pesky and increasing fees. I also seriously want to expand with more merch ideas and a way to sell my originals.

My Etsy store will remain open for EU/UK orders until I can figure out VAT and international charges in the bigcartel store but i will be redirecting any US/Canada customers to my new store.

I keep saying this but 2024 will be me aggressively working on VS and Mad Between the Stars. I've already begun work on the next character designs. VS has gotta get done in 2024 so my goal is 2-3 penciled pages a week and then i'll tackle a similar inking schedule.

What is left to do:
