Hello, everyone. Your friendly neighborhood Pickles here.
First off, I'm very much still alive. (Albeit with a bit of acid reflux right now, but that's not important.) I haven't given up on the fandom or art or the comic or anything. I've just been... Unfocused. And that's a problem. Especially when I have so many things I want to do. And it's starting to drive me up a wall.
Let's address some things one at a time. First, the comic.
The comic isn't dead. It's an "unintentional hiatus." I have this grandiose idea of doing a fancy-pants animated scene and have a very talented artist and animator helping me... Or, rather, WILL be helping me, as soon as I get my mind back on track. For those of you only here for the comic, then I promise more is coming.
Art in general.
You may have noticed that last little burst-upload I made of mostly sketches and almost zero "finished" art. That ties back into my problems focusing on things. I'll make a sketch, think of something else I want to do, and then immediately start on that next thing. And the down times when I'm suffering from block and can only draw potatoes (you know, the time where I really SHOULD focus on something I already started on because all the hard work is done) are the times I want to be creative the most! I'm genuinely thinking I might need to get checked out and perhaps get a prescription for something to help me with my absentmindedness.
My patrons on Patreon.
You guys are simply amazing and I feel REALLY guilty for not giving much of anything over the past almost TWO MONTHS... I've certainly not done anything to warrant any kind of support, which makes you guys even more amazing. Yes, a few of you have left and I still thank you.
I've actually considered shutting it down because I feel like a leech over the whole, "no recent content" thing... I even asked a few friends for their input and they all said, basically, the same thing. That is to leave it up and, if people want to stop, they'll do it on their own. So that's why I haven't pulled the trigger on it... So, those of you who have and still support me, thank you so much. I'm really trying to get back in gear and actually make it worthwhile.
As for the rest of things, well I've committed to going to FWA next month. I'll be there that Thursday to Monday. And that'll be good for me, because I need interaction. The last con I went to (Megaplex) was fun and energizing. I've needed that feeling again.
And speaking of Megaplex, I have booked my hotel already, but have yet to purchase my membership... It's still a ways off, though. So I'm not concerned.
I suppose this is as good a place as any to close out. I need to get to bed, anyway. It's after midnight for me and I have to be up for work in less than five hours...
