henlo!

Why yes, hello! Long time no see! So I have a few things, and first of all an apology.

I'm very sorry for just dropping out of the face of the Earth.
I'm someone who doesn't do well with attention, whether it's good or bad; it's just scary to be seen!
And here I've gotten more support than ever, and that was incredibly overwhelming.
Not trying to sound ungrateful ofcourse! In fact, I'm INCREDIBLY grateful! I never intended or even hoped that this many would read and enjoy this silly, rapey, amateurish comic of mine. I really do want to genuinely thank you all <3
It just sucks that I'm such a chronic recluse that gets overwhelmed by attention, and that's nobody's fault other than my own ;w;
Is it my c-ptsd-brain trying to protect me because I learned early that attention = bad and praise = wrong, so it makes me adverse to contact? Am I introverted to the point that even simple online interaction drains me? Is it something else, something that has yet to be properly diagnosed, that makes me want to avoid the public's gaze? Maybe it's a little bit of everything? I honestly have no idea!
But what I do know is that just peacing out when things become overwhelming is a very bad, bordering on destructive, habit I have, and it's 100% the wrong way to deal with things.
I'm terribly sorry to have worried some people. I can't promise any increased activity from now on, but I felt that I at least have to make a psa because I've been told that people have tried to reach out and wonder about me. And it is hella touching and makes me feel horrible for just skedaddling ;w;

And for what I suspect most of you care about:
Stoneheart.
The comic isn't dead, despite all the signs pointing to otherwise! It's... hibernating x'3
I didn't intend for the hiatus to go on for this long, but I've met with a bit of a mental roadblock. To summarize, the pages I'm currently working on features pretty much nothing but my weakest artistic points; a training montage at a lack for better, less spoilery terms.
And as such, combined with a general fatigue from the pretty stressful living situation we're currently in (not gonna get into that though because then this will just become a vent blog lmao) and a concern since my art style has gone through some changes since last page and i really don't wanna whiplash people in the middle of a chapter with a sudden style change; all in all I'm currently struggling with the comic artistically.
But I reiterate, it's still very much alive, it is my baby that I literally carried in my womb for nine months and then went through 48 hours of labor to get out on god, and it will continue once I'm over being a little bitch about everything :3

TL:DR I'm just an overwhelmed pussy with art block and horrible coping skills~
I'm once again sorry for vaporizing when things pile up. I'm really so very grateful to people, even if there's a terrifyingly large amount of you <3

Art block sucks, but you can get through this.  Take your time, and make sure you are good though.  Love the comic, looking forward to when you are able to produce more without destroying your drive. :)

I've been following Stoneheart all along.  Your characters are really adorable.  And the comic has a great story line.
I'm glad to see you are doing okay, and am looking forward to seeing the conclusion of your story.

I've had a few of those art blocks at times myself.  Especially when I was creating a multiple part story, Clarence Coyote and Project Courier.  
Project Courier is a time travel machine that 8 year old Clarence Coyote accidentally traveled back to the year 1960 in.  Because the time machine sustained electrical damage due to Clarence not knowing how to operate it, Clarence was stranded in 1960 for 6 months until scientists who understood how the machine works were able to repair it. During that 6 months in 1960, a coyote family adopted Clarence, and Clarence made lots of friends in 1960.
Once the machine was repaired, scientists instructed Clarence how to properly operate the time machine and sent him back to his natural day and time in the 21st century.  Clarence and his friends, adoptive family and school mates in 1960 would miss each other, but Clarence was glad to get back to the 21st century and reunited with his natural family.
Believe you me, I did have my share of mind blocks during the creation of that story.

First I am, like so many others glad to hear that you are still alive and well (relatively 'hugs')

And I so know how you feel as many of the things you mentioned touched to closely to my own life. I have missed your post and and art I hope you will be able to overcome your struggles to once more come out of your cave and spend time with us.  And I would love to see your new style and new paged of Stoneheart.

May you find a good size stick of dynamite to blow up that art block. I know I am working through my own blocks for writing and its hard.  

lots of hugs

Glad to know you’re doing alright. Let me tell you that ALL artists and writer’s suffer from blocks that can affect their work, it’s just part of the process. Especially for those that create some well thought out ideas like Stoneheart. I myself have a current problem with blocks… more on the fact that I REALLY need to get myself more organized and focus on ONE project rather than several at a time.

Also, the process of one’s art-style changing over time is just a natural thing. Some that I know of have gone through several style changes in their series as it progresses, but at its core it’s still the same thing. The one though has gone through several different styles because the writer has rotated artists over the past ten, maybe twelve years.

Looking forward to seeing the continuation of your series and where the characters will go from the last page, but take your time and as always, keep up the good work!😁

PS: I’ve been working on a couple of fan pieces for your series which I hope to have up on my IB page soon. Hope you enjoy them. And the first volume of my series is in the final stages of being published, so hopefully you’ll get the chance to read it either in print or ebook format come December.
