Hey there watchers,
Reporting from the lovely Dominican Republic on my last full vacation day. It has been beautiful here, I have managed to avoid burning my pasty white British skin so that's awesome, and I've probably had far too much to drink this entire time, but who's counting?! HAHA! I'm not drunk now, I swear, I actually had a bit of a tummy bug last night so I'm taking it easy today. But yes, apart from watching someone have a heart attack(possibly one of the most traumatizing things I've ever seen in my entire life) and having a bad stomach last night it has been a blast.
Anyway, so tomorrow I'll be heading back to Michigan where it better be more than 32 degrees or I'll kick mother nature in the butt. I wont be back to my apartment until Saturday, where I will be spending some much needed catch up and snuggle time with my boyfriend, who was not able to come along on the trip.
So I guess what I'm getting at is, in regards to the comic, you probably wont get a page from me right away. I do have some commissions to do, and I should probably get at least one done before doing another page. I might do that Sunday if the boyfriend and I are done catching up. Hell, maybe I'll do a live stream of the commissions I'm working on because I haven't done one of those in ages.
In regards to the commissions, there are a still two winners of our last contest, the humanization one, who need to get back to me in regards to what they would like for their head-shot prizes. And those two people would be
and 
. I've already sent you guys the points with a note attached asking for what you'd like, and you haven't gotten to me. So if I don't hear form you soon I'll note you myself, but I'm on vacation now so yeah. Also, one of my actual commissioners 
still hasn't gotten back to me in regards to a few notes about reference links. You haven't been removed from my commission list, and you wont be because you paid for it, but I can't really do it until I get the information. So if anyone knows who they are, please give them a nudge for me.
I've been really itching to get back into the comic again, to be honest. So I really hope to pick up a bit more on getting pages done quicker. I read through the scripts of Uru's Reign Part 2, Mufasa's Reign, Scar's Reign(which will probably be divided into two parts as well with a intervening comic similar to the East Land Chronicles) and I still need to write the miniscule bit of Simba's Reign that I'll do, but anyway, I've been reading through them and I'm getting pumped about it all again
So yeah. That's an update from me!

A Word about Discrimination: No! (LGBTQ+ Focused)
So I don’t like when I have to bring up a sensitive subject such as bigotry or intolerance but it’s time to just go over this again. I rarely have to worry too much about this in the comment section or from my followers as most creative types are pretty open minded, but it seems that whenever I post anything that has the slightest thing to do with gender identity or sexuality there is always at least one person who needs to post comments that are either subtly or blatantly ignorant or prejudiced against the LGBTQ+ community, or often more specifically gender identities. This happened when I revealed Dotty and Digger were together and raising Spotty as their own. This also tends to happen whenever I post anything about my own status within the LGBTQ+ community (pan, not sure about gender but I go by she/her or they/them and there wasn’t as much education growing up about the different gender identities so I don’t really know where I fall in regards to my gender- and that’s okay too!).
Life Update (Sorry for Delays)
The month of April has been a.... Painful one. My partner had to have his tonsils removed, which as an adult seems to take a while to recover- which is not fun. I also got some stupid flu the day after his surgery which is finally just breaking. And I did something stupid to my back on Tuesday (I think it's muscle spasms, it happens sometimes this is just a really bad flair-up). It's seriously like a death by a thousand cuts, haha. Mentally I'm doing better, the anti-sad pills seem to be helping- my manic highs aren't so manic, and my deep sads aren't 'stay in bed all day questioning the pointlessness of existence' bad anymore so... That's good! But physically? Man, my back is killing me and it would be nice if my nose could unclog... Anyway, It's been hard to fulfill my commission obligations and get pages out these past couple weeks, but rest assured the patreon will get pages, DA will go back to the 5-7 day structured upload, I will start chipping at my commissions again in short
Let's Talk AI - The Robots Will Destroy us All
So… This AI thing… I wasn’t sure if I was going to talk on this issue or not, and what it means for me, the future of art as a career, DA, and my opinion on it and stuff. Buuut it seems everyone is talking about it, and some people are leaving DA as a result, so I just wanted to let you know where I’m at. First off, AI itself is a mixed bag of…. Meh. As we know, AI generators can not actually create unique and creative images out of no-where. Like humans, it creates what it has known and observed. Unlike humans, it’s not observing things from real life and instead observes data and images online. Unfortunately, that means using the images and data of art from real-life artists that were posted online. For the sake of reference, learning, exploring ideas, and so on, I actually think AI can be a really good resource, but in no way is clicking a button with key words your own original content. It’s a hodgepodge of images stolen from real artists online, and that’s where the issue with AI
I'm Aware of the TikTok
Hey guys! So! Yesterday evening into today people have been linking me a tiktok video of a person showing off my drawing of Alastor from Hazbin Hotel. I printed it off for the person in the video, but granted didn't know they'd make a tiktok about it. I spoke with them today and they are allowed to keep the video up (I gave them permission), so please don't think they stole it from me- it was actually a gift to one of my students and I really don't want any hate being sent her way. Also, I normally try to keep my real life self separate to my internet activity here on DA and normally I do not give my students access to my socials until they graduate for their own safety and my anonymity- I just didn't predict this would happen or that it would kick off on TikTok. The video does not reveal any personal information about me or the student, but if you see it please be kind and be aware that they have my permission to post it. Also, hi to all the new watchers I've gotten as a result XD

GREAT to hear that you had such a good vacation!! Sounds like you had a REALLY exciting time (watching someone have a heart attack!?

THRILLED to hear that you're pumped about continuing the comic again, cause I'm DEFINITELY pumped to read it! CAN'T WAIT to see what you have in store for it!
