Hello friends and Happy July! My apologies for this report being delivered so late. 

This month’s problem was pretty straightforward - I keep this SFW/NSFW split in my work because it gives me excellent stability in my schedule, which is hard to find as a freelancer. You can't schedule personal emergencies, though, so when the AC broke and the dog had to go to the emergency vet(she's fine, just needs a lot of care at the moment!) right after I had just finished a really long, tiring freelance work week. It sucked all of the energy out of an already very tired Winton and I kinda had to call in sick for a bit.

I’m sorry for the bad timing and impact it had on the work I was planning here. Thank you for being patient!

On the upside, I’m past the hurdle and I can dictate my own schedule with more control now.  I’m going to take a few days to do some recoup + travel (maybe get some new inspiration) so I’m refreshed and back to work later this week!🥃 🌤️🚶‍♂️

Okay, announcement over, back to the report!📈

I was in a real live art show at Weinberger Gallery in Kansas City, MO! 🥂

It was fun to see real, physical people looking at my work! I only wish it wasn't so loud (they had live performers and a DJ) so I could eavesdrop 😈 and hear peoples' reactions to it. Oh well, still had a good time!

⏹️✔️ Complete Libby & Holly Ch2 (6 pages) + Cover

June opened up with roughing out the remaining pages of Chapter 2 so I could wrap the chapter. 

Because of the slapdash way I write these things I had to quickly come up with a new outfit for Libby for the final chapter. I’m excited about drawing her in tights in the next chapter 🙂

I made it from pages 17-21 in mostly complete pages but I wasn’t able to get the last two done. Here's some snippets:

4/6 pages isn’t all the worst, but I always want to be doing more 🙂

⏹️ CYOA Update - This one just didn’t happen in the slightest, sorry y’all. I’ll be able to get this corrected this month.

✅ New Fanart + Theme Poll - I didn’t get as much fanart as I would have liked (I’m still playing TotK!) but I did have a lot of fun drawing Medusas!

My sketchbook stuff was a little sporadic! I think I draw in my sketchbook more when I’m stressed out and need a break from my work schedule 😅

I even did some drawing in my traditional sketchbook for a break from the screen :)

The July agenda is going to look essentially the same, I’m just going to forget the last two weeks ever happened and pick up where I left off. I hope you enjoy seeing what comes out this month!

Your health and that of those you hold dear is more important than this 💕 Thanks for being always so transparent with us, it makes it easier to understand why you might not upload this and that. I hope your puppy is all fine again, especially with the extra care. (May I ask - what kind of dog do you have? X3) I'm looking forward to this month, especially the continuation of Libby & Holly. I've grown more fond of them, especially Libby, than I expected at first 😳

thanks for the update o7

I know I don't send money to Patreon for artists to work themselves to the bone, and I should hope others share the sentiment. Take care of yourself!

Wes

Post a dog pic too please

Seb

Thanks for the update, Winton! Take your time (we’re all still here waiting for your awesome updates!), and I agree with Wes, I hope you post pic(s) of your puppy!

Thank you Fuya!💖🥺 I'm always happy to hear when people enjoy a comic more than they initially expected! As for the pup, she's a mini Australian shepherd. 🐶 I'll have to share a pic of her with my next update :)

wintonkidd

wintonkidd

I'm glad you enjoy these updates, I think they help me too when I write them :) gives me a sense of progress so the year doesn't turn into a total blur like it seems to want to 😅

Fuya

Initially I didn't feel the library setting and Libby's looks but thanks to the story she surely grew on me; plus I can relate to her on quite a few things hehe Yes please do share 💕 Is she as talkative as that breed tends to be? 😂

wintonkidd

:) My dog is fairly talkative, she was a rescue when we adopted her and had been very quiet for many months and then one day she just started arooooo-ing 🥺 It was very precious
