Wahahaha, I am still alive I swear! Hi! Hello! I’m gonna summarize stuff in a few bullet points:

  • Family medical situation had me continuing to help a little beyond May. To be honest, I forget how long. It involved helping out with physical therapy and stuff.
  • Speaking of which, I tried cortisone shots, and then subsequent appointments later, found out I’m double-jointed. And overstress of that causes tendonitis (how about that).
  • From August to October, I went for physical therapy.
  • As usual with every year, Thanksgiving killed me. Holidays killed me.

So here I am now!! Here’s some good news more relevant to here:

  • I FINISHED WRITING GLASS HEARTS.
  • Let me explain. In December, for some bizarre reason, I suddenly got the hugest momentum of ideas and writing IN YEARS. So much that I kept writing and writing and writing and writing until finishing it. It’s still surreal to me. I’ve never finished writing it until 2016. So to those who are like “WHAT A SHITTY YEAR” – yeah, 2016 was kinda shitty for me too, BUT I FINISHED WRITING GLASS HEARTS, FAMILY HEALTH IS GETTING BETTER, SECOND AVALANCHES ALBUM FINALLY HAPPENED, NEW UNDERWORLD ALBUM, FUCK YOU 2016 HAD GOOD THINGS ABOUT IT.
  • Ahem. I finally finished the backlog of rewards for Patreon, which means more time for Glass Hearts comic (FINALLY).
  • Though I still gotta do some goal rewards, like sketch videos. (I cry thinking about the latter, lol. Computer, don’t lag on me bruh.)
  • I tried plugging in the intuos3 randomly and it turned on?! So yeah, I have gone back to my first love. The “pen tapping several times in one spot” quirk the Huion H610Pro was doing to me finally brought me to this point, lol. But I will need to replace it anyway because one instance of plugging it in didn’t register. Checked eBay and it’s super affordable to buy another one (of just the tablet – I’ve kept the pen and mouse safe, so no need to get those). (Hearing about new Wacom tablets makes me sad, lol. Gonna stick with ye olde faithful.)
  • (Who the hell needs 2000+ pen pressure? What is even the point of more? People complain about the Surface Pro4’s, but it’s the same amount as the intuos3. So…lol. I don’t see the problem at all.)

I’ve been contemplating the Valentine’s Special. YES! THERE WILL BE A 2017 VALENTINE’S SPECIAL! I’m going to choose this as a starting point to start updates up again. I’ve freed up space on the laptop, so I’ll be doing the fixes to chapter…8 (?) that I need to do soon and have that ready before starting the Valentine’s Special. As for what will be in it, lmao I have no fucking idea despite thinking since December. So ripperino pastarino, it could be another last-minute idea.

Somehow I’ve gained fans on Tapastic despite not doing ANYTHING on there. So for both old and new fans: thank you for sticking with me! I’m still not 100% and I still have to exercise and such. And when I get a job this year (so help me, I’m gonna get something), I might have less time to work on it. But I’m still determined! ( º v º)9″

THANK YOU!!!

It’s hard to believe, but by the numbers – it has been 10 years. From posting the first few pages on dA on my first account, to going over to Smackjeeves and The Duck (DrunkDuck at the time), to remaking it for my high school graduation project, to remaking it for my college senior thesis and eventually getting my own website. All of it was fueled by passion, stubborness, hard work, and, most of all, love. It is advised towards young aspiring comic artists that they shouldn’t be too attached to their early comic projects.

Well. Here’s my advice: if it’s something you can’t help but think about, feel passionate about, stick with it. Learn from your mistakes and keep moving forward. If you give up on it, that’s fine. If you can’t bring yourself to give up on it, that’s fine too. 10 years later, I don’t regret all the work I’ve put into this comic. In fact: I am very proud.

Thank you, everyone that stuck with me from SJ, DD, Inkblazers, and thank you to the new readers from Tapastic. There are no amount of “thank you”s I can say to cover how grateful I am for your support. If y’all are worried if I’m gonna remake again: this is the definitive version. I feel it in my heart yo, this is it.
