This guuuuuy.

I... actually don't entirely know what that gives me besides the fancy star next to my name, but I guess I'll find out eventually.
So, jeez, it's been almost a year since I took those requests and I'm not even halfway through them. Heck, a few of the people aren't even active on those accounts anymore. I'm really sorry guys, I thought the requests thing would encourage me to draw more, but it kinda had the opposite effect. The requests seemed more like chores, and I wanted to do my own art instead, but then I was afraid if I uploaded my own art, people would wonder why I wasn't working on their requests, so I just didn't upload anything. That's why I've mostly been practicing on my own without sharing much here. I totally intend on finishing them, though, I'm a man of my word.
In other news, the battle against anxiety is going relatively well. I got a job and I've kept it for more than a day, hence the premium membership. It's... so bizarre being able to just buy anything I can afford, without having to borrow money or ask for permission or anything. It's strangely agoraphobic in a a way, but it's still pretty dang cool.
Uh, what else... comic. The Challengers... uh, I haven't done much on it lately other than working on the script. I've actually been toying with the idea of posting a rough draft of the first chapter of the script to see what people think. I don't know how I'd feel about giving away the story before I actually draw it, though. Still, it's only the first chapter, and it'd be nice to get some feedback and show people what the comic will be like. I'll think about it, I guess.
The requests progress thing I had is still over there to the left under my favorites, by the way. Yay for custom widgets.

Commissions
It's been, what, like a year? I've been working hard on my comic and such, but drawing stuff for others now and then is a good change of pace, so let's do a few. Prices and ToS: Commission Guide 2022
Comic website update!
I HAVE SOMETHING I'M SUPER EXCITED TO SHARE So I haven't exactly started my comic yet, but as I've shared before, I do have a website for it. It's pretty much just been a placeholder image and nothing else for several years. BUT NO LONGER https://www.challengerscomic.com/ Backgrounds and colors and stuff! I finally gave my comic a logo that I designed and made completely from scratch, there's menus and pages, including pretty much all the art I've done for the comic so far (expression sheets and whatnot), and CHARACTER PROFILES that I just finished writing (which I really hope people read because they took forever). All that's left to add is, well... the comic. I promise I'm still working on it!
Commissions are still open!
Hey everyone, just a reminder in case anyone missed it, I'm keeping my commissions open indefinitely for a while, and currently there's a few open slots. Don't hesitate to grab one or a few!
Ongoing Commission Queue
So, here's the deal, I'm trying to save up some money, and I've kinda gotten into the rhythm of doing commissions regularly, so I'm going to try a new format for my Commission Queue. I dunno if there's an actual name for this format or if other artists do this, but basically, I'm going to keep the 5 slots, but every time I start working on a commission, I open up another slot. So there's always a "line" of up to 5 people waiting, instead of me just taking batches of 5 at a time. This pretty much lets me take commission requests continuously without me getting all anxious about seeing a huge line of people. Does that make any sense? I don't know. Anyways that means currently there's 3 more slots open now. Prices and ToS are still the same. Here they are if you need them: Commission Guide 2022

Nice to hear from you again! I felt happy when I read this. Glad you are doing fine, glad you are making progress, on both the personal and the artistic level.
I guess the thing I really recommend when it comes to comics is: Just start. Put thought into it, but don't overthink it. You don't even have to show it to anyone. It's just you only get better at something by doing it, not by thinking about it alone. At least that's the advice I would give
