Weekly Update! (2026-10-11) Spooky Scary Obligations

https://www.foxsaliant.com/

Heyo peeps!

Sorry for missing last week.  Moving into the late autumn section we’re still grinding away at things, and I’ve had a lot of meatspace stuff to deal with in the meantime, as well as a few unexpected minor expenses. (I had completely forgotten about my domain payments for ClaCos and that.  Man, these things feel more expensive every year.)  But, that is what it is, we’re still going strong without too much issue.

Now, my plans for the projects (like Various Happenings and Clara Cosmos) were perhaps a bit ambitious this season considering I still have a lot of work to make-up, but we are slowly getting there.  It’ll just be a little longer before I can focus more wholly on my comics, so while I intend to meet my goals overall, any further push will have to wait until my paid work is entirely out the door.  Hoping to get that much done before Halloween would have been optimistic even if I didn’t have a ton of a commissions sitting on my plate.  So it is what it is.

This coming week I’m going to be working on getting a few of the smaller things that have been in the back of the queue out, while also trying to polish off the character sheet and carnival sequence I’m working on.  Once those are done, I’ll move on to the NEXT character sheet and sequence I have in queue.

In the future, while I do intend to put up character sheet slots in the Bargain Bin, I don’t intend to take or frontload sequences or large commissions in the future.  If you want to see how things are going currently, go ahead and visit my commission page.  How it is there is pretty much how it’s going to be from now on.  I’ll make an infographic for the gallery sites at some point just to explain how to do it as well, but as it goes, I don’t intend to take anything that I can’t manage to get the base sketch out for in a single stream (even if it takes the whole thing.)  If you want a sequence of pics, you’ll just have to wait to get each picture done (or the edits done if you REALLY want an edit comic.)

Hopefully, it won’t be an issue, because things will be getting out at a good clip, and people won’t have to wait in line forever like they have historically, but this way I won’t have a huge weight sitting on me for the majority of the year.

If anyone on the list is tired of waiting, I do offer full refunds if you have already paid your invoice and haven’t gotten any work done on something yet.  If you don’t mind waiting, I thank you for your patience and I will message you as soon as I prepare to begin work.  If you’re wondering how things are going, feel free to message me at any time. 

The week after the week coming up (10/18), I’m going to tackle clean-ups for everyone who ordered one.  There’s like... nine or ten, and I can probably manage that in a week without too much issue.  It should also cover the cost of me not doing SotS that week.  If people have particular days (MWF) that they prefer, I’m going to be messaging people on Thursday about it, if I haven’t already talked to you.

The week after that (10/25) I haven’t decided if I want to do a bunch of Halloween themed SotS or doodle streams yet.  I’ll probably ask my SubStar members which they’d prefer

I also might have a little Growth Event coming up at some point, just for fun.  It won’t be as involved as the last one (thank goodness.)  I think got way in over my head for that and ended up balking at it, but I want to see if I can actually accomplish one and just kind of do it for fun this time around.  If people want to donate, that’s great and I appreciate it, but that’s not going to be the main purpose of it.

So we’ll see what’s happening as we dive deeper into the Spooky Month, and I hope all of you are enjoying yourselves.  Those of you down south, be safe, and for the rest of us in the States, this will hopefully be the last hurrah of warm weather for the year.

Thanks for reading, and I’ll see you all next week!
