So I've gotten off the phone with Sallie Mae. I might be eligible for an interest only payment (which would reduce my 1,600 a month to 1,300 a month). Problem is I need to pay the current fee of 3k.

And since I'm bad at promoting here I am now. Chapter 3 is being worked on but 1 and 2 are live.

Right now I'm only making about 1700-1800 a month, so barely above water.

Thankfully I'm at least not in a dire situation. And given how shit things are rn, I don't want people to donate if they cant.
Any support is appreciated.

There's still a bunch I gotta refine (like the car), but well
I'm at my retail job until 11pm.
So that ain't happening until tomorrow.

Support my art so I can do dumb things like this.

Genuinely, one of the best ways to learn how to make better comics is looking at film. And not just animation, I do mean live action movies.

A great director understands the camera is more than just utility, it is the crux of the film. And there's a wide world of different approaches to study.

Oh no Kenny what happened.

Chapter 01 cover for Fist of the North Star. Kenshiro, our bushy-browed meat kebab of a man is looking... a little different.

California car-wise is an interesting beast because it's not flat, so you can get some good driving shot compositions.
But also you have to evoke the real feeling of California city traffic, which is "nightmare".

I am starting to problem solve the gripping question of "how do make highway shots interesting?"

Picture of a San Francisco highway, or interstate, or freeway. It's one of those.

Arm update: Been a long road, but compared to where I was in July it's like night and day.
I do need to upgrade my ergonomics, but I'm at least able to draw for longer.

I don't got a good estimate for when the next Rats in Suits chapter is out, but I'm aiming for October/early November.

Society is too busy thinking about how to make Rattata scary.
When they should be thinking about a Rattata boggling.

As for why someone else would own it, I don't know. And that's more concerning tbh.

That's always the kicker for me. Like "Oh this is obviously furry bait." Never mind that horny art will change like 60 to 80% of the actual design.

People out here acting like they caught Nintendo red handed with their intent. Meanwhile gardevoir is way more "otherworldly alien" than "anime babe"

I've heard from many trans people who had to wait out their bans. No one should be banned for "rest in piss" in the first place. Can't you just admit you fucked up and need to fix things? Instead of saying "well if we accidentally burn your house down, that's what fire extinguishers are for!"
