Things are going alright. There were a few emergency expenditures and such but things are okay and we’re moving forward with our work! Last week was really productive and I’m really happy with how things went, so this week we’re going to see about getting a page done for the comic, tying up a few loose ends and carrying on with the current batch of commissions!
Let’s see what we’ve got!
Announcements and Business ===
(6/4) Update Schedule for Various Happenings to be sporadic for summer.
Due to the amount of work to be done both in reference to my commission work and things around my home, the weekly updates for Various Happenings are going to become a bit sporadic for the next few months while I focus on working down my commission list and straightening out a few things that have been on my to-do list for a while.
The comic is not going on complete hiatus; updates will just be slow coming, and I can’t promise a page every Friday. I was considering taking a break AFTER page 100 and finishing the conversation with Lyle, however, it will take another month at least to get there from the current pace, and I need to make time to address my other work for the moment.
If you want to make things easier on me, please consider joining my Patreon, which goes directly into feeding my projects. The minimum is only a buck, and every little bit helps bring my projects to life. I’m hoping one day I’ll be able to support myself on merchandising and crows support rather than having to constantly trawl for commissions and every new patron is one step closer to that goal.

(5/21) Commission Slots OPEN!!
It’s that end of the month AAAAUGH! for rent and all that, so I’m opening up slots! There are currently two (2) slots left!
If you want to commission me, send me a message and we’ll discuss it! If I run out of slots, I’ll put you on the call list so I can get to you once something opens up!
If you want to contact me about commissions you can note me at dA, FA, or Inkbunny (links are at the bottom of this post) or you can e-mail me at commission(at)foxsaliant.com !
Things like the Lil’ Wobbles are still available and don’t count towards the slot count. If you’re interested in those, drop me a line!

As always, I would like to send out my thanks to everyone who supports my Patreon! I’ve got some ideas for things moving forward that you all might like, but for now we’ll see about getting the list checked off before I go about making any changes.

As I said last week, I hate sidelining things, but it’s paramount that things get finished and I’m going to do my best to make sure that I clear everything off the table as soon as possible.
I haven’t been able to clean up as much as I wanted. I was sick on the few days I wasn’t streaming and it was kind of crappy, but what can you do? Still, we’ll get it all sorted out.
As always, if you want to ask me questions about my work, feel free to e-mail me at sali(at)foxsaliant.com or pm me either here, or at my deviantart or inkbunny (links are below).
If you want to help me out or see stuff that I can’t quite show off yet, feel free to visit my Patreon and contribute! If you just want to help, check out my website over at Foxsaliant.com for general info and donation links! I set up Ko-Fi for those of you who are still skittish about Patreon but want to toss something my way anyway, so if that appeals to you, go ahead and throw something over there!
I hope you’re all doing alright this summer, so far. Midsummer’s coming up and it’s looking to be a scorcher, so stay cool, stay safe and have fun.
