January update! It's going forward 2024! (Patreon)

Right, so advanced apologies for not really posting new stuff this month - I can't believe it's already the 17th. I've been extremely sick the flu and a sinus infection, and as I've been getting better I've also found my old ways of focusing (downing cans of Monster) are no longer effective so I'm gonna have to find work around solutions for that. To put a long story short, so far most of my month has been like this:

Which is poopy and garbage to put it one way. So let's cut the shit and-

PLAN FOR 2024 - GET SHIT DONE YEAR

Well, it's less of a plan and more what do I aim to achieve. I thought about it long and hard and I've come to the conclusion - no new projects this year. As tempting as it is for me, looking back it's going to come up to 3 years since I've started making art as I do now and in that time there's a lot of I've stopped and started on. A lot of things that are partly done and finished in some aspects but have gone uncompleted and unreleased. The work I and even some collaborators that have volunteered to help me (through guest art and proof reading) have put in, I don't want to put to waste.

- There have been a lot of sketches and ideas I've had for drawings that have never gotten to lining stages. I would like to return to those and finish them. Art wise I also want to slow down the pace of putting out singular pieces so I'm going to limit myself to only putting out 45 new pieces of standalone art pieces this year (not including what's already on patreon or has remained patreon exclusive, or any commissions or trades). The way I want to go about it is that twitter I'll upload a new piece every Monday, and on patreon I'll upload a new piece (Plus the sketch) as soon as I've finished it so you can see it if you're Art tier or above!

- SKKW Book 1 - that's my top priority this year because thumbnails wise I haven't finished that in almost two years. I want to get all of those done at the very least. I don't want to shoot too far and say I want to finish the rest of comic fully this year too just because I don't think I will but if I have time I will do so but I doubt it. If you're a patreon patron on Thumbnail tier or above you can read what's currently done of the thumbnails (LINK HERE).

- Serving the Dog's Dinner is a Layton Brother's Mystery Room doujinshi I've teased since 2022. The thumbnails have been finished since then and I've also sketched the cover. My buddy, Dry, has done guest art for it, and a text post she made on tumblr was also the direct inspiration for it. It's a very short on and only 15 pages long. Last year I released No Free Drinks, a Pizza Tower fan comic, as my yearly vore doujinshi so I didn't get around to penning it to completion. I want to change that this year. If you're a patreon patron on Thumbnail tier or above you can read the thumbnails for it (LINK HERE).

- Another SKKW thing - releasing Vorarephobia for free download on itch.io. I've been meaning to do that for a while, I just need to finish up a few extra bonus art things for it and do a summary content warning write up. It's definitely one of those things I should get done ASAP because there's really not much left I need to do. You can currently read it on twitter (LINK HERE)

- Speaking of SKKW, other things related to it I want to fully finish up - Predator's Sickness (LINK HERE), my voraciously vile visual novel, but fully finished with art that's all done up - I'm not going to replace the stock music for the sake of saving money (plus that's what stock music is for and I don't really think anyone cares all too much). Once that's fully done it will have a significant jump in price (like from $1 to $7) so if you haven't bought it yet, I suggest you do so cos once it's fully done, you pretty much get the upgrade for free. ALSO A MAC AND ANDROID PORT - that's definitely something I want to do too.

- Speaking of visual novels, Two Can Play at This Game, originally made for the 2023 yuri jam that I do fully intend to see to completion. There's no vore in it shockingly and it's a played serious gloomy sci-fi drama GL romp. This year with how much I have on my plate I don't know if I'll be able to release scenes 5 and 6 like originally intended, but I DO intend to release scene 4. There 26 CGs I need to get done for it just to put into perspective how big scene 4 is, and it's longer than all of the first 3 scenes of act 1 combined. If you haven't done so already, it's free so you should read it now!!! It's really good!!! (LINK HERE) I also do want to get around to porting this VN too. 

- Let's talk more non vore, Peppina x Noisette stuff! I really want to take a month out some time this year to bang out a few chapters. The whole thing is fully written and since I posted the script on patreon ages ago, I've actually added 2 more chapters - one focusing on Fake Peppino (Bruno/Cogi) and another on Anton. Currently I left the comic off at page 16, and the WIP sketches up to page 19 are done (which is 12 separate drawings). I want to release the chapters on patreon first all in one go so I'm holding off posting for now. I think it's worth catching up on the story so far so read it!!! I think it's super cute!!! I miss it a lot actually haha. (LINK HERE) This is another thing I also want to get around to putting up a downloadable version of all the chapters separately just for ease of access on my itch.io page.

- LISA THE JOYFUL REPAINTED!!! ALSO KNOWN AS TIBBY: The Joyful & The Puppet Princess - it didn't come out last year on August 25th 2023, but it will this year on August 25th 2024, for real this time. It didn't come out last year because I was recovering from a drug addicition and I didn't work on it the rest of the year because I just wasn't up for it. It's 75% done and there's not a huge amount I still have to do for it so for me it's definitely like, a summer project to do come maybe June or July to just bang forward with it. I don't think I can release like... pre release builds on patreon or anything even with it falling under parody due to copyright laws. As a games repainted it does still very much use the original LISA the Joyful's code, and also some of the sprites are as of yet unaltered. You can watch the teaster trailer here: (LINK HERE)

- Currently, I have two commissions to finish, both from around July of last year. I have not in the past previously taken this long, and due to certain issues on my end mentally and poor health wise I do acknowledge that I have not been the most on the ball in terms of communication. So I do want to try and remedy that going forward. But for the foreseeable future, until those two comms are done, I will not be opening commissions. I feel that's only right as I want be able to have confidence that I can deliver work for other people in a timely manner and right now I'm not in a position where I feel that.

- On that same note I do acknowledge that I am notoriously bad at replying to private/direct messages. I have an inbox full of unread stuff from at least August last year on twitter and I am so sorry. I do appreciate musings, questions, and talk people send my way, and I do want to get to reading through and replying eventually, I feel awful about my incapacity to do so, especially from friends and mutuals. I don't want anyone to feel like I'm ghosting them, or I hate them, or that I don't care or don't appreciate it - it's just I have severe anxiety that makes me completely useless at some very mundane things. Slowly but surely I'll get there. I promise.

- There will be no new Kingeater this year. Another year without Carradoch, Gordane, and Mayweather on their adventures. If the link works, you can read what's present so far here! (LINK HERE) 2025 will be the year of Kingeater. A return to form. Just not this year. I don't want to release the Kingeater comics on itch.io yet either. Not until I've fully finished the first set of comics.

- There is an unreleased collab pokemon sword and shield comic that's sort of a joke but also not that's NSFW 18+ and has vore in it between me and my buddy, Ray, but we haven't worked on it in ages and I don't think we'll have time to work on it this year either. Maybe next year though? Who knows? There's actually a bunch of thumbnails done for it but idk if I'll release those just yet.
