Hi! Back again with another update after... 6 months. Yeah I have some explaining to do.

Lately making into comics & art has been a super slow burn & struggle lately. I am mostly taking or trying to take responsibility of my life such as finding ways to pay my univerisity fees which cause me lots of 'anxiety' if I can put it that way. It's more like a heavy burden that I want to be rid of before it becomes problematic. It's no longer about my studies. But with how many jobs I applied for, applications and CVs I've sent out to recruitments, bursary opportunities etc, only to get nothing but ghosting and rejections... It took a heavy toll on my motivations and ambitions and I'm constantly battling to keep trying.

That and my old android tablet is completely busted so I'm drawing on a phone which is hard since its my main phone, for multiple purposes. But its not to say the drawing experience is bad, I've gotten the hang of it.

But all this time away from my comic gives me that vibe of... 'Is this any good?', 'I should really try and get back in touch with my passion for my characters and redevelop my love for them again.', 'I gotta do SOMETHING with them, etc'. I may have a small solution to this coming soon in a form of a comic strip spinoff that I've been wanting to do, my characters here used to be part of smaller comics / one pagers and strips and coming up with short form content could be a vaulable skill.

Anyways, I'm trying to keep on keeping on and no matter how rough it is... I ain't quitting at anything! See you whenever!
