First of all, do not NOTE me in response to this.


Just know that I am still alive, and no, I have neither forgotten you, nor run off with your money. Going into the "Commission Extravaganza", there was a small piece of information I had yet to share: I owed my Patrons and Donors some THIRTY pages of comics. That's over-and-above the 6 main commissions I took. But also, substantially BEFORE I took those jobs. After a long struggle with technology, nerves and scheduling, I now FINALLY have the lineart done for most of those. However, in addition to doing the inking and coloring MYSELF on my main comics, "Ship in a Bottle" and "The Lavenders", I must also now ink and color those additional pages as well. So, what I am saying is, I am trying to schedule your delinquent commissions between those pages, but my health hasn't exactly been tip-top since January 1, and sadly, I still have a "Day Job" that prohibits me from spending 8 hours a day just doing this. Now, that said, I DID finish UncolaMan's "Ship in a Bottle" related dealie back in February. And with Oshigan's help, I am constructing the reference sheet of Susan so she looks the same as our version in the "BGR" comic. So, that'll be one more "oldie" off the plate. Next will be BLADEDGE's, followed by the page for ninjamon, Kim's new RP character, Nel's Persona 5 inspired thing, and so on. Basically, just hang in there a wee bit longer. I'm getting there, but I got mya ss kicked by a respiratory infection again on my days off this week, so I'm over here dying, but not dead, yet. I'll keep you posted.

P.S. I am being completely unironic when I state that I still have 12 sots open. I dunno. Drop by one of my comic-specific Patreons and boost those, and who knows. I might be able to live another month and put my artist pals back to work as well.

If you're still wondering where the hell your commission is, it's coming. Soon. I promise. There's been a few things going on that everyone should be aware of. And one of those things is, I AM working on them. Specifically, I have a slate of 27 comic pages I am working on dating back to 3 years ago. It's a bit of a collaborative effort, but in terms of "owing", these are the highest priority due to age. And I have very limited time thanks in no small part to my "Day Job". Actually, I think the total is 35... at any rate, we've knocked the total down to 30, but that's still THIRTY comic pages. All of which I am inking and coloring myself (with the help of a penciler). So, yeah.

Secondly, I have contracts already signed to make several animated features. That is a MONUMENTAL task as I am literally the proverbial "holdup" on this one. i.e. I am the asset creator. They can't construct the film without me. By the way: if you'd like to help us get the funding so we can hire our actors in good faith, here's this old thing. You get a mention in the credits and early access to the final movie when it is complete. Since production has already begun, I'd say that will be "soon" as well. Possibly before the end of Summer.

I thought I might have a third thing, but really, those first two things are a clusterfuck of several smaller things wedged together. So, that's enough for one guy. But rest assured: I AM doing the commissions. Keep in mind that the majority of them out there right now are my "bargain rates" from the past few months, and that means I will simply be turning them in to you with minimal (or no) corrections. That's why I so meticulously hounded you about the details in the first place. So, hang in there just a little bit longer, guys. Because once I finish yours, I need to get off my dead ass and get a whole slew more commissions so I don't fuckin' die of starvation. Or malnutrition. Or, something...
