Not much to say, I'm afraid. But I figured I should say something. So, I finished drawing WWWS part 2, I'm inking the lines and doing the digital stuff at the same time. It's not so bad. I cue up a Youtube video and work on cleaning and coloring on the computer. When the video finishes, I go to the small folding table I use as a drawing desk, cue up a movie or an old TV episode and do penwork. When the movie or show finishes . . . you get the idea.

Sometimes I feel like I should be doing more with my life than just making this thing, going to work and, occasionally, sleeping. But right now there just isn't really anything else I particularly want to do. The push I feel to finish this thing is entirely internal, but it's still real. After all, every single one of us is working under a deadline - we just usually don't know when it is yet.

Well, uh, I got stuck in a pretty bad rut, but I'm finally back on the production track with part 2 of When We Were Strangers. I don't think anyone's ever poured this much work into something they expected to get zero money from other than maybe youth soccer or planning a wedding. I'm hoping to launch it in the second half of August - it's only 33 pages, how hard can it possibly be? (posted two days before my nervous breakdown)

Anyway, I have no idea how many of you care about the series, or read these posts, but just on the offchance that you do, I wanted to keep you in the loop and let you know that I'll have something for you, hopefully real soon!

I've been having some fun AI-generating backgrounds and collaging Pico and BF into them. Unfortunately, I cannot post them here, due to the NG proscription against AI-generated art. So, if you're into Pico+BF stuff, swing on by the Twitter or the DA, I've already got the first one up and I'll have a couple more ready over the next few days.

I know it looks like I've been quiet on NG (I have), but I just finished a new 11-page fan comic! It's a FNF fan comic, it's a comic about Pico and BF (shocker, I know) and while it doesn't contain nudity or graphic sexual content, it's a little more . . . caliente. . . than what I'm used to making. I can't explain exactly why I feel this way, but Newgrounds just does not feel like the place for it. But I did finish running it a few days ago over at Twitter, and it just went up at my DeviantArt. It's called "First Kiss." So, if my description of it has not scared you away yet, feel free to check it out. :)

Just letting everyone know where I'm at, because I know my visible production has gone down since I started my big thing, but I'm still hard at work! Right now it's on another side story for the big piece. It won't go on NG, but I'll direct people to a place to can read it when it's done. I don't think the larger NG audience would like it, but maybe I can make a fun pastiche page for it like I did with That Dream Again just in case I end up with panels, that I'm particularly proud of. I'm still hoping to launch at the end of February. I'm having a hard time with finishing my pages, but I'm doing my best.

I don't know why I'm writing this.

You know what? Good for you. You refuse, if only temporarily, the pretty colors, loud sounds and fun distractions this site has to offer to actually pursue information. You probably watch educational TV too, like nature documentaries, or taped physics lectures. God, I wish I was more like you.

Anyway, I'm alive, just extremely busy. Will have a few things up for Valentine's Day. That is all.

Sorry I haven't been posting much lately. I'm super busy on a very big thing - and yes, it's another FNF project. I can't wait to share it with you! Unfortunately, I think it might be too big to even put in my NG (frankly, That Dream Again was kind of a stretch), but I will figure out a way to get it to you.

I missed that for like half a day! Man, I need to check back in with this thing more often. Oh well . . . hello, new fans! Hope you like my stuff. Well, I guess if you like FNF stuff, you probably will, and if you ship Pico and BF, your day just got a LOT better!

At my workplace, there's a loading dock where there's a big pipe coming out of the wall. It's connected to a series of gutters high up in the roofs and whenever it rains, it safely drains all the water down to pour off the side of the dock.

Since it's not raining right now, pigeons are building a nest in there. Sometimes I see them flying up with dead grass they got from somewhere and stuffing it into the pipe. That's fine.

The problem is that the pipe is at an angle, so every time they lay eggs in there, the eggs roll right out of the pipe and spatter against the concrete below. I have now seen five smashed eggs under that pipe in the last couple of weeks. But they don't pick another place to nest (and there are bunches) and they haven't figured out how to build nests that keep the eggs from rolling out. They just keep laying eggs in there and then the eggs roll out and go crunch and then they just lay more eggs in the same friggin' nest and it just keeps HAPPENING!

Pigeons are dumb as hell, man.

Also working on another long-form comic, I'll let you know when/how to see it when it's ready.

I just figured out what to do about the comic I made.

I'll be posting it to my own NG account, but NOT putting it in the Portal. However, it will be searchable under related terms, and I'm going to make a pastiche page for the comic that I WILL put into the Portal so people who like what they see from the sample page can find their way to the whole thing. I'll start posting a few pages every day for a week, and I'll submit the sample page to the Portal on Pico Day. I think that's very appropriate!

Rolling it out in a few hours, see you then!
