Spidersilk turns 13 years old this month!!
I usually like to celebrate with extra updates, but instead I just admitted I needed time off. I pushed a lot of my project release dates back so I didn't have to rush them and stress myself out, and just stepped back where I could. I'm recuperating from a flurry of events, event planning, and sudden life things. I'm really looking forward to working on Spidersilk again, so I think that's a great sign, but I'm going to keep resting up for now. Please enjoy this cute Prentice and Sohrab art. So good to draw them again!

Thank you for celebrating with time off! Taking good care of yourself is the best present we could ask for. Proud of you and the characters for having come so far!
Sorry for the impromptu hiatus! I took March off of most projects. I need to catch up and rest properly. On top of that, this is an emotionally difficult month for me anyway, so I like to find ways to make it easy on myself. That used to be "work so much I don't have time to think" but lately it's shifted away from that.
I'm still working on things, just not my main projects and Patreon! It's kind of nice to have the time to put towards all that backburner work and just-for-fun stuff without any pressure or deadlines. I've been drawing a lot of fancy fantasy dudes like the image here.
Thanks for sticking around! I'm looking forward to getting back to Spidersilk in April! ^^

Thanks for taking good care of yourself! I hope the emotional impact becomes easier over time. That doesn't work for everything though. My go-to solution for all world problems is chocolate, but... yeah. Maybe I'd better just send you positive vibes, and if you like hugs, then also hugs.
A little delay with Spidersilk -- wasn't feeling super this weekend, but I hope to get more pages done this week!
I don't think I'll get to an update this weekend -- I had Covid for the first time for the second half of October, and my energy levels and sleep patterns are a bit messed up still. Fortunately not having any breathing issues, but I do get an annoying cough sometimes, which of course gives me a headache. All that to say, I'm trying to update as fast as I can and try to hit a mid-week page and a weekend page, but the schedule won't be consistent for now! (Buffer ran out.)
I'm fine, just taking my time recovering!

Been busy for a few local cons and shipping for Kickstarter orders -- yay, those Spidersilk books are getting shipped!! I'll be getting back to pages as usual later this week :)
Getting ready to come back in April for Spidersilk!!
In the meantime...I drew this. These guys are in another of my backburner stories. Once my other novel is beyond the beta reading and editing stage, I'll be able to work on this more! ^^

Yay, a satyr/faun? And... an elf, goblin? Both, obviously, with amazing hair.
I love this! So colorful!
Thank you! I had a lot of fun with the colors and gold accents ^^
Yeah, Valle's a faun, Auriel is an elf! They're in another backburner book project of mine.

Beautifullll :D
Thank you!!
I'm still on break. I decided to take the entire month of March off as well. February was not done with me when I last posted, and I ended up with more bad news that means some pretty big changes are coming up. I want to work on comics, but since my energy is limited I need to focus it on my assistant and editing work (income)! I'm looking forward to more dudes lost in the woods and badly timed flirting when I come back in April!
I did draw this at some point, so please enjoy! (He's from a novel I'm working on.)

Thanks for sharing the fairy (?) dude in firefly starry skies, and for taking good care of yourself with all the bad news going on! I hope some good news is on the way for you.
Focus on taking care of yourself, we care about your health first and foremost.
There'll be a week or so without updates -- my cat is now sick, and we don't think she has many more days. I want to spend as much time with her as possible to make sure she is comfortable and not alone. This is coming right after another family emergency earlier this month, so I just need to take a little break!
So sorry to hear about your kitty. :(
I'm sorry Aleksi, take all the time you need. Losing a pet is always super hard. Blessings to your kitty
*sends warmth and compassion*
May your kitty be comfortable and loved during this time! Take as long as you need!
Sorry for the shaky updates lately! I took on extra freelance -- much needed!! -- but between that and Patreon updates, I've found it difficult to get many pages done this month. I hope to get back on track soon!
Thank you for your patience ^_^
Thank you for your patience ^_^
Don't worry, you do what you need and just remember not to push yourself. We're patient and behind you every step of the way.
The updates are never shaky! They are as solid as your imagination, your knack for storytelling and making delightfully engaging characters. The updates are coming less frequently, which is fine becayuse each one of them is a gift of you to us. No one has any right to complain about not receiving a gift. So please do not feel you owe us anything. You DO owe yourself to take good care of yourself, which you are doing. Thanks so much for that! Please keep taking good care of yourself, and know that you have our support!
