Status Post (2/10/25)
Making a quick status posts to give an update not only on my projects but myself as well. Towards the tail end of last year, things were very uneven and I didn't get nearly as much done as I wanted to and promised. (Quite frankly I wasn't satisfied with my output overall in 2024).
Comics like "Power Play" and "She Hulk x Venom: First Dance" went unfinished for too long. The big reason, I felt that folks probably didn't care to see a comic so old and a comic that quite frankly isn't the kink I usually draw. I started thinking, "no one cares". I know it's silly, and I hate to admit this thought process happens to me more often than not. So I tend to put work aside. I rather not work on project with so much doubt, I think that does more harm to it than just trying to get finished for completion sake.
I finally decided to tell folks about it, and I received messages, not only encouragement but the emotional support I really needed. And not to get too personal (I tend not to almost to a fault) but I am doing things in real life that is helping me get through.
It's been helping me to stay on track. That's why I decided to do a week long animation stream event. It was exiting, and it kept on on a schedule. I'm not saying this the only solution (there's no way I can stream literally daily!) but it was for my own confidence to keep the excitement and joy going.
This is certainly getting long at the tooth, here isn't it? But I felt it was necessary to write. I don't want anyone feel like they've been deceived, tricked, or ripped off here. I have a lot to make up for!
I'll be continuing the comics at the end of the month. And as always, I'll be giving frequent updates on my discord and socials about my work. If you'd rather like to wait to jump on when the comic is fully finished posted (or public) I completely understand! No news will be left in the dark.
I've always feel awful for making posts like these because it feels like the same song and dance before when in reality I'm actually making better progress than I have before. But sometimes there are stumbles. And those stumbles can feel (and look) far more glaring than they actually are.
Hopefully next status post will be less about this and more about status of projects. My supporters and fans, deserve the world and I hope you can create the best stories and art that you'll love and support!
Thank you so much! Doesn't matter if you're a paying supporter or just an fan admiring the work from afar. I'll always be thankful and happy for your continued support!
