I'm going to keep this brief, because some details are personal.
My problems started when COVID restrictions hit, and I ended up being the only one in my family to keep their job. Because of this, working on comics became nearly impossible, but I planned to return to them eventually.
Then much to my sadness, instead of finding a new job when restrictions were lifted, family members got too comfortable with reaping what I was sowing.
The final straw was when an incident happened in my family (private. Don't ask details), but no one believed me. The only thing I could think of to escape the situation was to scrounge what money I had left, and move to another country to live with an online friend.
My family would not let me take my cats, furniture, or provide any form of help, so when I got to my new home, I had nothing but the bare necessities. Seeing where I now stood in the family despite a lifetime of love and support, I cut ties with them.
It's taken me literally YEARS to build everything back up from scratch. My roommate has been very supportive of that, and I have been getting help for depression and participating in a support group regarding what happened back at my old home.
My mental health is slowly building back up, but due to outdated/unsupported art program and software, art is still on hiatus until I'm not too dirt poor to figure out the new stuff and do leisurely art posts.
That includes Thrill of the Hunt. It's not dead, but it's still tucked away until I'm financially stable enough to get back in the groove
Now before any of you do something crazy (I know you people are out there) please do not make any gofundmes or donations or something for me, because I want to do this on my own. The world is a tough place, so please save your money for when it matters the most.
Letting me adult on my own is actually productive for my mental health.
In conclusion to this update, I'm officially cancelling a plethora of comics and projects as listed:
Machine Valet (donated to new author)
Shadows Tale (Original author went solo)
Ten Little Monkeys (cancelled)
3PISODE5 (cancelled)
Undetective (cancelled)
Aletta's story that I can't remember the title is also cancelled.
Thrill of the Hunt and Buggy Situation are my babies, and I will never abandon them.
However, I still don't have the mental or financial stability to pick them up yet. Hopefully soon!
Currently, I am in a much better place now that I've been getting into the flow of things and being surrounded by a very positive support group.
Thank you all for being so patient and understanding, and I hope to eventually entertain you all in the near future!
In the mean time, please enjoy some comics from other artists that I like:
Golden Shrike (doeprince)
How to catch a Star (sleepysundae)
XIII 2 (rottenribcage, but I think he has a new username now)
Oh! Also! Sorry if I don't reply to you!
My messages are broken, and the new DA format is a mess.
