It's the start of the month so of course now's a good time to give another update!

Health wise, things are still moving along but I'm feeling way better knowing it's finally getting done! Speaking of feeling better, I'm also glad to say I'm still doing well mentally, and I think it's been showing!

Now let's move on to the updates. The projects in progress (and still to come):

That's what's in progress right now and for the month!

It's really been fun getting back into the swing of (naughty) things (and I've also really enjoyed reading all the comments on the recent artwork!). Definitely feels like I've got the wind at my back again!

As always, thank you so much for supporting me and my artwork! Now if you'll excuse me, I've got some more art'ing to do...

We're drawing close to the end of the month so I think it's a good time for another update on the state of things!

First, I've stopped taking the medication that was killing my mood and libido, so they've vastly improved since then! It's why I've been able to get into a groove (ever so slowly) and start drawing a lot more again! I hope everyone's been enjoying the recent art as much as I have!

That said, I'm still in need of and waiting to have a small surgical procedure to hopefully solve the underlying reasons for being anemic. If things line up I'm hopeful that can take place in September or latest, October. I'll let you know for sure when I do.

Now on to updates on projects! Starting this week, I'll be working on finishing two comics here as my main focus:"Venom x Shulkie: The First Dance" and "PG x Toyman: Boys and Their Toys."

I wanted to try my hand at working on a couple of things to see if I can finish them sooner than later as a result; so a mix of short-ish and regular length comics could help there. I know I recently finished a PG-related comic but the Toyman work was mostly sketched and fit the "short-ish" criteria so I took another look at it to see if I was "feeling it"... and I was! Given it's length, different version of PG, and story,  I think it shouldn't wear out its welcome and still be plenty fun for folks! I hope you'll agree!

Afterward, it's on to Shulkie and Venom! I know it's been a while but I'm feeling the excitement again and looking forward to working on it. It's a little different than my usual work but I hope everyone still enjoys the final result!

There's still other outstanding projects in progress, of course. The "Incredible Mom" animation, and "Harley Bozo Hole" comic (among various others). I want to have those two completed before end of year. Realistically, I think they're likely to appear in October or November. But there may be small alterations to the schedule still so I want to be sure before I set things in motion further. I'll have another status update early next month.

This summer has definitely had it's ups and downs, and I know I'm not out of the woods yet with the health but having that interest to draw most everything again has been a massive change and has given me more momentum in pushing forward on projects small and large. I feel happier and more creative than I have in months, the medication no longer an obstacle to my taking pleasure in and excitement for creating artwork.  

Here's hoping the surgery can finally put this health issue behind me and that I can continue to make the art I, and hopefully you all, care about! I know it's cliche to say but I'm thankful and appreciative for all your support; in the good times, and the difficult. Whether it be funds, comments, ideas (or tolerating my shitposts!), I can't stress how much I appreciate having everyone take part and take joy in helping me make the kind of fun (and/or hot) work I really want to see out there!

The constant wave after wave of hard news we've been bombarded with these past few weeks (whether it be personal or outside forces, like the payment processing matter and the fight against censorship), there is a small bit of good news from my end of things.

This week I had (and still have) some doctor appointments and things are moving forward when it comes to my health issue. I'm hoping this will  lead to getting off the recent medication that's been killing most of my drive (and libido). Knowing that all of this will hopefully soon be past, has left me in better spirits! I've been drawing and writing smaller (in between) stories; that has also been helping increase my mood.

Still, there are plenty of things left to do. I'm still anemic and still have some low swings. The overall health problem may not be taken care entirely until the end of August. But in the meantime, I'll be posting when I can! I might do more posts with my OCs, like Ty and Luna, Amira, etc. 

Thank you everyone for your patience! Like I mentioned before things are a bit rough on every end it feels. But I'll do everything I can to stay creative because that's what I love doing the most! And I'm thankful for having your support, especially now!

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!

Besides some sketches and finished wips I plan to post here and there, my main focus for Substar will be finishing the two comics I have currently. 

I'll be completing and posting comic work for the next two weeks! I'm deciding if I should post it all at once, or in batches when they're done. But either way I hope you folks are looking forward to them!

Also, It's been quite awhile since I last thanked everyone here for their ongoing support! I really wouldn't have been able to do even half of what I love if it wasn't for my fans (Yes I'm posting this everywhere because I truly mean it)! 

Thank you! 💖

With both cons behind us and my guest for the week has gone home, I am now ready to continue my projects here. Starting with "Dance with Me" with Blackfire and Robin! It's a comic short with 9 pages left to color. I'll be posting those parts starting tomorrow. After each small comic/project is finished for this month, I'll post another status post about what's next!

Also, I'll be working on my online store! I know a lot of folks have been asking about it and believe me I'm working on making sure everything is set and ready to go before I move forward. I'll be sure to keep you folks posted!

Stay tuned and enjoy the stories and art! 😄
