Oh yeah, one more thing. I meant to bring it up with the pic set posts, but really wanted to sleep. Here is some complementary music to masturbate to:

Patrice Roberts-Touch Me

Toco Loco Riddim

The idea came to me while working, and I thought it fit perfectly with the scene. The album as a whole holds an interesting concept behind it--it's pretty much like a musical version of "Who wore it better?" There are six different artists singing to the same instrumental. Out of them, I think Touch Me and Nah Let Go are my two favorites.

Anyways, go check it out. I thought that you'd all find it interesting.

Still working on it. Still hot as fuck. Not as bad, but still bad. I can hopefully really make some massive progress tomorrow. Not completion, but progress. I had a couple body parts I really wanted to tweak anyways, so it was gonna be after July regardless.

Also, one thing I have to say though, and I know this is completely out of the blue, but out of all the downsizing I did in order to move, out of all the shit I threw out, the one thing I'm glad I didn't chuck was my old handheld Mr. Potato Head game. Yup, before racking up stars in Grand Theft Auto, I was racking them up plugging the right body parts in this bulky yellow block of an LCD game.

I don't know why I feel like sharing this. I just think it's funny now that I really think about it.

Meh, it'll be done when it's done. Too damn hot.

Just figured I'd swing in to wish all of you a Happy Independence Day.

Hope things went well for all of you today. I'm back to working on the Summer 2019 picture; I'm looking to finish it by the end of this weekend. I put it on hiatus but now I finally settled in at my new place. Cozy apartment, nice neighborhood, plenty of restaurants and stores around, and the drive to my job is now seven fuckin' minutes! There is just something super beautiful about that last bit in particular. Dunno, life just seems a lot more..."accessible" now, for lack of better words, when commuting to work takes up so little of your time.

Overall, I'm looking forward to my new life here.

Happy first day of Summer!

Figured I'd drop this quick message. The gif creation tools I have at my disposal are not working quite right. And yes, I clicked "as animation" this time. It apparently didn't pick up all the frames when I exported. I'll deal with it tomorrow when I have the energy.

To note, this short animation is NOT my official summer intro work. This coming piece was supposed to be released much earlier, but life got in the way. Moving into a new apartment and all that crap. I live much closer to work now, so that's a huge plus. Also...I had some...."technical issues." This is something you really just need to see for yourselves....the moment I realized something wasn't quite right....

Yeah.....many of them took up shop in my printer. Adults and larvae by the hundreds! Don't ask me how this happened, because even in my mess of a room this is a first for me. As an extra middle finger to the situation, I personally discovered that ants can grow wings. Did you know this? Because I sure as fuck didn't. An interesting side note, though: lint rollers are very effective murder weapons and ants have a strong sweet smell when you crush 'em. It's like a potent fruity scent, it's very strange, honestly. I'm gonna get as much small stuff out of my old place as I can before I ant bomb it all. Give them as few nooks and crannies to work with as possible.

Anyways, I',m gonna try to release my shit tomorrow. I hope your first day of summer went well.

OK, so I was WAY too optimistic on the completion period. I wish I already had it done, but delays have been essentially due to a combination of workflow confusion, adding a lot more dialogue, and a heavy bout of lethargy. For all I know, it might take about two more days for me to finish it. Sorry for all of this.

Fuck it, I'll finish the Spring comic tomorrow. I honestly just don't feel like finishing it today.

I have completed around 90% of the line art. I'll get up early tomorrow before work to see what I can do. How much I accomplish before I head out will pretty much set the tone of how much hope I have. Spring Fever has honestly been making it difficult to focus on this.

Anyways, what's left......dialogue and frame prep work should take 1.5 hours, Coloring should take roughly 2.5, Polishing should take 3, and GIF making should take 1.

Let's see what I can do.

I'm jerry-rigging a quick GIF comic to ring in Spring 2019. Since it was so close to Elly's birthday, I decided that this will also double as a post-comic for her 2019 birthday pictures. Anyways, the script is finished and I completed roughly around 20% of the line art.

I have two days to pull off my vision....Stay tuned.

New Year's pic and GIMP is giving me shit at the most terrible time; it keeps making only the last frame into a GIF. Less than twnty minutes 'til midnight. You know what? I'll deal with it tomorrow.  I'm gonna meet the dilemma halfway here.

Happy New Year's, guys.
