Well, maybe it's a sign. Cause I cannot keep a damn job to save my life. More time for art now though. TwT

Time marches on, and I am working on getting back into sketching and am seriously thinking of opening commissions. And I am praying I will be back into Wyrdness Combat soon. Since my EXTERNAL HARD DRIVE crashed AGAIN! I am just done with externals. I have learned my lesson.

Taking a sledgehammer to this old one and throwing it in the trash, cannot get anything off it. Would cost a small fortune to extract the data I'd rather start over.

Hope to release an artpiece soon I'm working on!

Had to fill in for a night time closer at my job after he suddenly up and quit. Hoping that it's not long now that I'll be able to get back to the usual time. I don't like the time I get out. It's always dark. And I always get home sore. Art soon, just have to manage my pain meds.

Got a new job again, surprised it was as quick as it was. A lot less stress but a lot less pay at the start here. Part time at first because it's physically demanding and I have to get my body attuned to that kind of work again. Dark Desk-job-itis. Good news is when I do get around to making this place full time I will be close to the original place I was working. There's chances for actual guaranteed raises. And I'll get all my insurance stuff back for med, visual, and dental! \o/

I may open a commission thread for art seeing as how I now have less mental stress. Hooray!

Considering THAT a cautionary tale. That last work place was so high stress I was loosing hair. Quit for my own self worth and sanity. So it's back to job hunting I go. I would much rather something more slow paced IMHO. I may do some twitch streaming at some point, and I will maybe make myself a stream overlay who knows?

In the last month I have aquired a new job! It's an improvement from my old job, and it's not as physically taxing. My current goal is to save up for a new PC which I may be able to get around summertime. On top of that I plan on getting a Valve Index afterwards.

But the PC is the more important thing to get because I plan on getting a far better one that has multiple screen displays; one for my actual screen and then one for my art tablet. Even though I'm only going to have two days off each week I'm looking forward to coming back to Art. It's probably not going to happen before I get the new PC but I'll let you all know when it happens!

I've been struggling with my productivity this entire year. Between having to help dad with things around our house, going to work, hanging out with friends I want to spend time with, having chill moments alone, and catching up on games. I am overwhelmed by a lot of things this year.

My mind is clouded in a fog, and try as I may. When I don't feel like something, nothing; not even myself can stop it. I feel like my brain is empty and hollow. I wake up and enter monotony.

I am not, as Vergil would say, motivated.

It has NOT been a good year for me in general. Having lost my mom, 2 family pets, and now my Aunt just this last fall. All of this in just the span of 2022 I am hoping when we tick over into 2023 we can start with a fresh slate and I can actually start healing.

THAT BEING SAID! Like I mentioned many times before. As long as I'm not dead. I will try and beat myself into submission to do SOMETHING! The comic updates may not be frequent, or soon. It depends on my mood. I've always been a better illustrator than a comic maker. The next thing I post may just be a couple of art pieces, but who knows.

But I swear some day, at some later point in time, it will happen. At some point in time, I will post something.

While waiting for me to finish up this page [I've redrawn this stupid thing three or four times now] I am going to plug y'all to a webcomic that was a big inspiration for me to start trying comics again.

Adventure and Horror it's called Stand Still Stay Silent:

Also while you wait, here's another big inspiration:

I was cleaning out my office today and I found a box in the back of the closet. Opened it up and it's a DECENT amount of the images I lost on my External Hard Drive . . . it's not ALL there, but I can at least salvage a chunk of it now with this.

. . . now if I only had a scanner still.

I have gotten my news as of today that all of the files on my External Hard Drive [which broke down earlier this month] is now unsalvagable.

All my art, all my music, all my clipstudio files, all my reference images, all of my videos, and written files . . gone. Dead. Lost forever.

THIS ALSO! INCLUDES THE FILES THAT WERE BEING USED TO MAKE MY COMIC! So the recreating of these things will take even more time. YAY!
