Pushing hard to break through the art stand still in the last month. By now you’ve seen the changes to the comic pages. Hopefully the transition is a positive one. I wanted to keep things consistant till the ends but i need this chance to change things and experiment. Theres so few pages left. On this hopefully an improvement is also visible in the recent commission works, which did increase in price on september 1th. Long overdue really. Especially considering the state of inflation everywhere.
On a personal front, we’re down to 1 foster cat…and its the same one as before, Nesquick! Which turned up to be a boy, and a runt, too tiny to get his fix done so the refuge left him with us for the rest of the month. The longer he stays with us the harder it’ll be to part though.

Nuage 
Neslie, nesquick, Nellie 
Busy 2 weeks! and thats start with cat fostering. First with Nuage then the triple kitten Neslie, nesquick and Nellie. Nuage was a loving cat that i’ve no doubt will find someone to adopt. The 3 kittens were sicks when we got them for fostering, Neslie was fearful but we’re slowly getting to him. Nesquick is a ball of love and energy. If something goes fast and purring its her. Nellie, poor nellie, her state gradualy got worse. She is no longer in our home as she needed intensive care. All these cats are temporary in our cat hotel and will hopefully find a forever home. They will be spoiled with all the stuff we had prepared for Neige.
Then there is the comic. I’ve only about 5 pages left to draw for the current chapter; So little before the epilogue… At first i thought i’d just finish the comic before exploring styles but might as well use these to do some exploration. Hopefully people will not find the transitions too jarring once they begin going online on tuesday. As the epilogue begin i’ll truly have no more choice but to tackle the site redesign.

Then there is the characters giftart. Characters for a story that has to be but through them the world become richer ; Thank you!
Long time since the last news post update. Theres a reason for it, i guess i was avoiding reopening the topic. August has been a bad month for us so far as Neige, our cat companion since the studio began, since me and Kite got together, sidekick of many streams and projects, the ever present boss over our shoulders…died.
She had been sick for more than 18 months. When it truly began we don’t know but a year ago we had noticed how bad it was , that it wasn’t just the consequences of old age and managed to secure a spot at a clinic for her when the pandemic lockdown relaxed a little. She had gotten better for a time. There were up and down, with different medications. Though in the last 2 months things had gotten very difficult. Kite had to be permanently with her day and night , seperated from the other cats , to be able to take care of her. This made both personal and proffesional life difficult. We had to tell some family member not to visit due to the sick smell that had taken over the house. Still, there was a bit of hope for a time , even had a hospital visit scheduled for some operations– But our hopes died at the beginning of the month when it became clear her pain was too great. The medecines would not work anymore. The end came fast, we had 2 hours to say farewell.
So, difficult days, difficult weeks. We got back to work but its a shadow thats still loom over us at the moment. I know, its a cat, but for a couple of hermits she symbolized our relation and she was a person to us.
We will miss Neige very much. To get over this we’ve become a foster home for the local shelter , maybe we can help other cats where we failed to save Neige.
Maybe its her death, maybe its an accumulation of things , maybe its mid life crisis, i dunno. Its time to think of where my career is going and how to best use the remaining years of health i have. I will be experimenting, exploring options.

We began doing a little community group up every week. 1 hour animation, which many artists on twitter participate in. After a hour its pen down, no matter the state of the animation! (some of the animations won’t autoplay unless clicked on)
Topic “Hair flip”
As i’ve shortened some of the political drama to come, it seem the epilogues for the stories are fast approaching. This bring me a mixed feeling, sadness over incoming goodbyes of characters but also glad it will soon be wrapped up. At this point i think the epilogues would be better under its own chapter number with its own cover. More on this soon.
