Monster Soup

I don’t think a barricade of furniture, pillows, and a curtain will keep Luke out.

Amanita was originally wearing her blue robe from the last chapter, but I got frustrated with having to add the flowers every time and worrying about the continuity of their placement. So between the last chapter and now, she redressed and bandaged her neck, but didn’t have time to straighten her hair.

October’s Random Sketches was posted to Patreon on the Free Tier. I also made a Collection there for all of this years sketch posts.

Social Media woes: I’m focusing more on using Bluesky these days. Starting over on a new platform has been hard. I’ve never managed to break 500 followers on Twitter, so I’m not holding out much hope for this new platform. One of the most annoying things with being a creator online is gaining followers and supporters. I try to play the social media game and hope I can get more eyes onto the things I create, but it feels more disheartening these days. It like a puzzle I can’t crack. But giving up means zero growth. Other disheartening things, Fables is a new webcomic platform and touts giving ad revenue to creators, yet my comic was placed on the Adult version of the site, and I’m not certain if I’ll get anything from having my comic there. The only reason it’s listed as Adult is because of the 6 pages I listed as NSFW (nudity). So either I censor them and get my comic reclassified, or remain on the Adult side, with much less perks. I’m actually thinking about removing my comics completely and focus more on GlobalComix being my mirror/backup. I loathe spending time on marketing ideas and ploys, when all I want to do is tell stories through art. Again, I’ve mentioned it several times in the past, but it needs said again; Thank you to everyone who has been supporting me, either through Patreon, Ko-fi, or the random donation through PayPal. And a thank you to those who have supported me in the past. My Patreon goes through an ebb and flow all the time, and I understand that losing patrons comes with the territory, but I never take that support for granted. I received a large anonymous donation on Ko-Fi recently. You know who you are and thank you, thank you, thank you!

I also have a TikTok where I post random sketch time-lapses. It also disheartening that my biggest viewed vid there wasn’t even art related. Oh, you silly algorithms. 💀
