hi everyone. i have not written an update post in a couple months, although i've been posting and updating.
i think it's just slipped through my fingers, i know last month mawkish's next ACTH test was on the first, so it was a very chaotic day. yesterday, i spent like 8 hours retrieving her...

wow, this comic is finally done! it's filled my stomach with dread for years, and now it's, in some capacity, done. i'd love to go over it at some point and clean up felix's markings, because he was redesigned halfway through.
this ended up being a separate page largely to help add some det...

i've been wanting to draw this one for a couple of months now. unfortunately, periods of extreme stress are known to make chronic dissociaters dissociate their personality more, and i was going through a lot of new stresses at once -- moving out on my own for the first time, having a friend who f...

hi everyone. perhaps you noticed i didn't update on the first. my hand has been hurting a lot after the art done in july -- it actually started hurting in june, after A LOT of requests combined with commissions to deal with my dog's vet bills and making side comics. july is when the pain became c...

hi. first of all, my hand has been hurting from the commission work on top of comic work last month. i rested it for 2 weeks, but it's still in pain, and i couldn't really rest it while moving all of my stuff to my new apartment. (it's only myself living here, by the way, so... i get to decid...

here's another strip i never finished, from 2019. i really wish i had had the time to finish this one, but it was so lengthy, and the topic itself is anxiety-inducing for me -- i had a hard time finding the appropriate headspace to work on it at all. notably, there's no script, because it was jus...

soft-pedaled, page 14
okay, that's the last page of this comic. it's a sloppy ending for a sloppy comic - eased into it with various jokes sprinkled in to kind of take the edge off. besides establishing that felix plans to apologize, it also reinforces his aversion to conflict to imply maybe this problem is not easily...

all of these are commissions or paid work of some kind. i've had a lot of fun getting more of them done... i've struggled with commission deadlines for a while, and this kind of affirmed to me that it's mostly because of the comic deadlines taking up most of my art time -- especially without adde...

hi everyone. i hope you're all enjoying the heat wave (TM).

hi everyone. happy pride month!
my top surgery is a little under a month out and there have been no complications. most of the pain is gone, and at a month your skin has about 45% of its original strength back (95% at 6 months, the maximum it returns to its original strength pre-surgery). 2021-06-01 23:03:12 +0000 UTC View Post

well, that's it. the comic's finally over, at 3 times the length i initially estimated it would be... but still shorter than 100 pages (and drop-out).

so, i'm working on the last page of fresh meat, which means it's ending this week (hopefully)... which means that most of the content i've been steadily outputting will vanish.

as you can see, this page is longer than usual... so the shading will be a little bit late. i was also pretty disoriented and tired for half of this week from the vaccine, even though i wasn't necessarily running a fever.

hi everyone. it's a new month.

sugar gets a lot of talking time in this page, as this is consider the "sugar arc wrap-up scene" -- i don't know how much i have to say about it, since it's characters talking, which means a Lot of headshots, and a lot of content that kind of speaks for itself, literally.

okay. there's a lot going on here, but i am fatigued, so i dunno if i will comment adequately on it.
i decided to have kim's grandmother pick her up instead of her mother or stepfather. a couple of reasons: i think that kim's parents are at work and would not want to leave to pick her up.
fresh meat, page 93
this page is a little longer than usual because it kind of crushed up 3 longer necessary plot points stuck in an ambiguous time territory in the story: kim needed to change outfits, be told that she was being discharged at night, and then kept waiting until the lights went out, where she was told...

this ending is so close i can taste it... what to say about this page... i'm hoping that threading this little slice development will make the sting of a relatively flat drop of carmilla's arc less noticeable. kim not snapping here, and leaving instead, should also indicate a change in the story,...

this page was a pain for me. i just don't like carmilla's wrap-up, which i already said, so it's bleh.
this just hits a lot of beats that still need to be hit, like canonizing that these characters are gay, and that kim is bi -- although a lot of kim's reaction to sugar being gay were supposed...
