Hi guys, I've created a Patreon page, any support would be appreciated and any advice welcome.

Moral support, but support none the less!

After my little rant, after seeing one of my comics doing better in a place I never uploaded it, while the original sits unloved, I figured I'd follow up with a more positive journal entry, thanking everyone who has stuck with me these last 6 years (truth be told there wasn't much on this account the first 4 years).

So thank you to everyone reading this and hope you'll stick with me for however long I'm still here for.

I was checking through the people I watch and many have moved on, or dropped their accounts and I viewed most/all of them as way better than me in making art or comics and am sad they don't post anymore.

You may have noticed I'm trying to be more active, Dumping old comics here, making new comics, doing commissions and old requests and it's true. Things keep happening to me, my side of the world, but I keep using it as an excuse, so I want to try push myself so even if stuff is happening, I don't waste my free time playing Guild Wars 2 or something.

I also want to thank the two who commissioned me, making this my most successful year for commissions (I know, that's pathetic, but it's true) and with a 3rd one to work on now I hope I can make this a great year on Deviantart

Still haven't got many votes on my other Journal about the Pokémon girls close to Ash, maybe I should try something else. I already tried Gardevoir but she got taken down.

Anyone interested in a choose your own Pokémon comic adventure? Like a extremely slow lets play of a Pokémon games (I can't afford a 3Ds and ORAS, so it'd have to be White 2) where comments can vote on choices? Put into comic form?

It's been ages since I did a work preview, so here's a sneak peek at what I'm working on besides the 2 commissions. My previous scanner took a dive so I'm on a different one, doesn't really change anything, as I still do lineart and colour on PC, simply the scanned images look a bit different.

If you see a few hundreds terrible looking comics with stupid jokes that aren't funny in the next few days, don't panic, I'm simply starting to upload my earlier comics again, something I tried to do a while back then drama happened (most of these old comics I can't stand to look at now, go figure).

Many of my Watchers know I've been doing comics since 2002, (without any income, lol) but I've only put a fraction of my comics on DA. The idea being people would visit my website to see my early, horrible comics and I'd get ad revenue or something (never happened).

My website keeps going under and even though I'm paying for it, it's down most of the time anyway. So I'll be moving these older comics to DA now.

Just check out the horror that is my first comic ever (total PA rip-off)+(rubber ball mice for the win), compared to how I draw all anime-leet now.

4th comic soon, (also a 4 frame Pokémon comic), plus done the sketch-work on one commission, while trying to create poses for the second (sorry for the delay, but the irony is I've worked on this one far more).

On top of that, in a short while, I'm taking a family member to the airport so they can go on holiday, so I'll be on the road for about 4 hours at around 2am.

Wow, a lot has happened this last week.
