Still working...

Just a little update. I'm still here and I'm still working on the comic. I know I suggested it was really close to being finished. Well, I realized I needed backgrounds and wasn't going to put myself through tracking everything out manually.

I took a couple days to add details to the Blender model of Tristan's bedroom. Then I had to figure out what angles I had to set the cameras up going off the sketches I already had. (Fsky for the freakin' win on that front.) Then I had to find some solutions in the new version of Blender to do what the older version was perfectly able to manage. (But now it's 'better' or something.)

Long story short, I'm done with the inking and text and have moved onto coloring. And this part takes me too damn long. And with my sporadic free times, it feels like it's taking even longer. I don't want to make promises on when they'll be coming. Doing that seems to be shooting myself in the foot.

One last thing. I've cleared my notifications. I've let them build up to the point that it was unreasonable. However, moving forward, I'm going to try to engage with comments and such like I did when I first started here. I've been thinking about how fun it was and want to try to recapture some of that interaction.

tl;dr
New page behind schedule, but coming soon. Comic will continue. Delays due to life being life. Interacting with followers to improve.

Just be careful posting even AI backgrounds here.  I don't know the rules, but I'm sure someone can help there.

Where was AI even mentioned?

Nobody ever mentioned AI, what are you talking about?

Blender is just a 3D modeling software, not AI.  Lots of artists use it to lay out furniture and body positions before drawing over it.  Perfectly kosher here.

As mentioned, Blender is not an AI tool. I use it to block out scenes and get an idea of where characters would be standing.

As am I. Nearly killed my back today trying to work on my sister's truck. I just want to lie down now. :P

Glad you're still on board with us, art or no art. Looking forward to a continuation of your comic and any other future doodlings!

I'm looking forward to "getting back to my roots" as it were. Just take it a day at a time.

I think I've taken enough time... Folks have been patient and I think I've finally got a workable plan to wrap up the story so I can move on to something else without feeling guilty for having left the comic behind.

You might need to set a consistent routine for yourself, at least with checking and interacting with comments.

Generally the first thing I do before I leave for work after getting ready is block out 10 minutes to check 6 sites, answering any messages and downloading. About 1 hour before I sleep (regardless of time), I do the same thing, except I also check for updated game walk throughs, collect my virtual coins, upload memes, check email, then sleep.

Yeah. A routine is what I'm trying to build. I check bsky and a few sites everyday. I just need to add IB back to that list. In the morning and after I get home from work.

So glad to hear this is still in the works!  Can't wait for the new pages; take as much time as you need

I'm trying to not take too much longer. But I keep looking at the blender scene and thinking, "That needs more detail." And, "How hard can cloth simulation POSSIBLY be?"

No rush bud just take care of yourself first n foremost! The comic as much as we want it we’d rather your wellbeing be the more important thing you take care of. :)
