Today I hit 25 years ..... God I'm old. Anyway, if you got any birthday wishes for me, then you've got the comments open!

Hey everyone. I hope you all are having a good New Year so far! I've been a bit busy due to a few things regarding moving to a new home, as well as other issues, but I won't waste the details on you.

Another thing that I'll be doing is getting back to improving my craft even further. As of recently I've been studying more on how to create comic art and I want to get a lot of my talent out there. So much so, that I have a goal and bet that by 2023, I'll have 1000 NG fans. Now as crazy (which it is) as it is, I feel a bit more confident that I could reach this goal. It's more of a personal challenge for myself and it'll be a bit embarrassing if I don't reach it, but it's good to motivate yourself. Although my skills won't be anything like last year and I'll be posting much better drawings. As of now my classes I've been taking have helped me improve a lot more regarding anatomy compared to my previous attempts although I'm gonna be doing more work regarding my coloring as despite my line art being better, my colors atm are heavily lacking and I gotta fix that.

So with that I hope you're excited for what's to come from me and also, I'll be updating my commissions sheet and start doing commissions again and post them when I'm ready. Wish me luck!!

To a New Year! I'll be taking lessons to help me improve my comic drawings. As you can see below, it's a start. As this will be my next and important step into honing my craft. Not only with humans, but with creatures and also scenery. I also want to go on and take part into other projects where I can provide my skills!

I want NG 2022 to be the year of the SOUP!!!!

Quick: I need some names of some notable/ random creators on NG for some sketches I wanna do! It's part of a New Years Resolution I want to post on the 1st! I need at least 6 names so I'll pick the first 6 I see!

I can't believe there would ever be a day where I'd be user of the day. I'm really thankful and grateful to be given this honor!

I've come a long way today as I've hit 200 fans here on NG!!! It only seems like yesterday where I just started in 2019 and within 2 years I went from drawing art like this

2019

To Art like this!

2021

I know having 200 fans doesn't seem like it's much and especially for artists like myself, but I've feel like there's been amazing growth in the past 2 years. And I personally just never thought I'd get 200 fans the same year I reached 100 fans. Although I can't take full credit as I've been collaborating with many people.

Collaborations

@dannygoodshirt Halloween Collab

@8bitant with Hexagons (Although I personally don't think I contributed too much)

As well as having support from friends and other creators that inspired and helped me grow both as a creator and grow my craft.

That being said, I'm gonna step up my game! I'm still hitting the books to improve executing my stuff, but stick around, you won't be disappointed ;)

As for reaching 200 fans, I dunno what I'll do to celebrate, but I do feel pumped to draw something (picks up pen)

I just recently opened a Ko-fi account, so I can get more work for myself. So if you'd like to spend a little change, just buy me a coffee. Or if not just spread the word!!

Okay so I wanna say sorry for the lack of content on my end. Currently I'm working on a few side project experiments with other users here on this platform, and it's a bit tricky to upload art and comics while doing it. But it's also due to stuff outside of projects on my end, such as creating a proper portfolio for classes in the future, so that's also what I'm doing. I apologize for the lack of uploads, but I'll do my be sure to come back FULLY LOADED with art pieces and other goodies! Keep an eye out for me!!

You've been waiting and you'll now recieve. my first 4 pages of my Lemonae comic is now out based off of earlier concepts I've done here on this site. Sorry for the long wait (personal stuff/ vacation), but I now can deliver. I hope to hear some of your feedback. Regardless, I'm gonna have fun telling this story for all of you!

So now that I've shown you the good news, now I must tell you all that the comic is fully written and planned, but now I now have a proper schedule for posting it so I've decided that once every few weeks, I'll upload new comic episodes to satisfy you all. Mainly because my webcomic, isn't really full time work for me and that I'd like to get work of mine out there so that I'm not forgotten. So starting September, new comic episodes will be posted every three weeks. (Apologies considering I was on vacation for a bit as well as trying to spread my wings more as a cartoonist) so now , I'm gonna be posting a bit more art to remind you all that I'm not dead! I'm even starting to give pinup art a try so maybe you'll see me post more of that

In concusion, my comic will have a schedule, I'll be posting more art and I'm still doing commission work!

Hey guys just updating you all about the comic. Sorry for the long wait for the comic. I recently got used to this new job and its been taking a bit out of me. However I'm happy to say that after this post, expect my next art post to be my comic. As of now I'm 1/3rd into the thumbnails, so because of this, ill get right on transferring them to pencil/digital. And the style should be just as good as how I started the first few comics. Thanks again for being patient!

Now I'm back to work.
