Hey guys. Just FYI, I had a baby, which is why there has been no activity for a year. I got pregnant last April and had my baby in January and it's been craaaaazy. I will be making more pages after a few more months of getting this parenting biz down. Sorry I haven't kept you informed! Though I have been pretty good about updating people on Twitter.
Congratulations! (this is news to me as I don't really use social media, thanks for sharing with us hermetic folk!)
I am one with the hermetic people now that I am stuck indoors all day long with the little one :p
Take yer time! We aren't going anywhere, and enjoy parenting! Yer gonna do great!
Aww, thanks :D I will be back before the end of the year is up!
Looks like you put your heart and soul into your comic best of luck!
Aww, thank you! I definitely do, haha. Thanks for noticing :)
Next few pages are a little delayed because I am finishing Ch. 13! I'll have something up by the end of the week, but until then, here's an illustration you may have missed if you don't watch my Twitter or dA accounts.
One serving of kleenex coming right up! Hahaha, love it :D
@Devika haha thanks! I wish someone would serve me like this when I get sick XD
Ooh definitely ;D Especially if that someone is wearing a snazzy suit like that
Happy new year to you too!

Happy New Year to you too!
Haha thanks guys, hope you have a great year!
Yep, Lamia can be a real "witch".
Too sexy for my fangirl heart to handle..O___O <3
Happy indeed! XD The costume seems to suit her too!
If you have been following my Twitter, you know I am taking care of a dog unexpectedly that has been the victim of neglect for years. Anyway, what was supposed to just be a weekend has become an extended issue, since I found she had a life threatening hernia and opted to have it removed surgically. She's sort of eating now, finally, and she goes to the doctor to get her stitches out tomorrow, so I think things will be easier after that. We're not sure if she's going to go back to her owners, who have sworn they feel bad for locking her up for so many years, or if she's getting a new home (possibly with us...). Since her owner is a family member on my husband's side, it's been a sticky situation. While I have been working on digital art and sketches for the Kickstarter related things, I have hesitated to do comic work since it takes a bit more concentration and I have to use ink and sharp things, and this dog is not well disciplined and very distracting because she'll try to tug at her stitches, refuse to eat, pee on blankets, etc.
Anyway... what this means is, there's going to be some delays in releasing pages until this situation is resolved. Moral is: Don't get a pet if you cannot properly care for the animal or don't intend to make them part of your family. My dog is not just "my dog", he's a member of my family, so I can't fathom putting him in a cage and essentially forgetting about him for close to five years.

i think what you`re doing for that dog is great.
i would be hessitant to send the poor thing back to her owners as well, even if it`s family.
if you can, i would try to keep it if i was you.

Well, I have a dog myself and we don't live in a huge apartment, but after a week together I don't think my dog and her are going to work out longterm. The owners have already said they want a second chance, so we're giving her back tomorrow, now that her stitches are out and she's doing well, but we'll be doing a lot of follow ups and lessons about basic dog care.
I think mentally she's a little... unhinged? She whines and cries constantly when she's awake, even if you are petting her and holding her. You can't give her enough attention, and I guess part of that is because she's been locked up for several years and just completely ignored. She doesn't understand some pretty basic commands and she begs for food constantly, even though her bowl is full. She's a mess. It's not her fault, of course, its her owners', but with what we've got planned for 2017, and with my poor dog at his limits with her, another dog isn't going to work for us at all. But we will definitely step in if her situation doesn't improve, but I cannot get any work done with her here and my dog is protesting her being here by pooping and peeing on the floor, which he never does. It's been a really really rough week.

like i said: "if you can".
reading your last post, it seems like you realy can`t, so dont feel bad about giving the dog back the the owners.
with whats you`ve done already + the regulair checkups and instructions you are planning to give them, there isnt much more you can do.
i hope your own dog will settle down again as well, and that you will get some "rest" and then your own life and work back in order.

Found out she was actually in heat (dogs can still make babies until the day they die, basically) so that was a huge part of why she was acting so unreasonably. Her owners didn't think to tell us she hadn't been spayed, even though they know we have a boy dog. He's been neutered but after a week even he was starting to pay more attention to her... had he not been fixed this could have gone even worse. We finally gave the dog back but some of the things her owners told me... what a messed up household. I really wish there was more that I could do for their dog that wouldn't completely screw up relations with my husband's family.
seriously,... *sighs*... some people.
