As expected, I got overwhelmed by like 5 things happening at once the past couple weeks and I don’t expect that to fix itself anytime soon, so I’m going on break until January 12th
That also happens to be my birthday too!
Advancing the plot as a gift to myself ^u^
See you then! And Happy Holidays!
Gonna have a proper drawn out update to mention this too (since news posts are kinda glossed over, no big deal, I skip them too) but we’ll be back in action August 11th!
Also, we’re gonna start doing Bi-Weekly Updates, in batches.
Basically, every other week, there will be a minimum of two pages going up for each update, maybe 4 if I’m really vibing with it (or I need that much to finish a scene chunk). This way I can make up for missing updates, and maybe I can get through the series before 2030.
And I get a week off to breathe and/or build up on pages that’ll probably just be flat colored at least 90% of the time to speed things along. I think it’s a good balance. We’ll see how it works out.
See you all then ^u^
I wasn’t intending this guest comic thing to be a proper hiatus but I guess that’s where we are now.
Got a lot of distracting stuff going on in the background and as expected it’s stunting my work, and I hit a wall around now where I want to try different stuff for a bit. So I figured I may as well lean into it and take a proper break to regroup, and come back fresh with some new pages
Posting here to keep the pace going in the comic, the guest comic stuff is still valid though (maybe not the Twitch stuff as much)
SURPRISE UPDATE! It’s a guest comic call! Next month’s gonna be BUSY.
Email me at mannykat8x(at)gmail(.)com with your comics/art (make sure your images are 900 pixels wide) or with any questions. I’ll also be available on Discord for those who know me on there already and want to ask questions/ send the comics there, and also make sure to include:
– Your alias (username, real name, etc)
– A brief description of your comic/art (if you think it’s needed)
— Or some comments of your own in general
– Any links to sites you’re on (Twitter, Deviantart, etc)
Any help in this endeavor is greatly appreciated! I’m moderately confident in my own ability to get enough pages done to last a month at least (not counting what I already have queued up) but it’s always good to have a backup buffer on the off chance something blindsides me.
….legit though if you want my discord just DM me and I’ll send it back
What’s up! FD should be back on track with updates starting on March 3rd, or March 10th if something comes up. Preferably the former though, FD hits it’s 7th anniversary on March 5th and what better way to celebrate than an update! (….or a drawing if the hiatus ends a bit later)
Thanks so much for reading for this long and I’ll see you guys then 😀
Howdy FD fans!
Due to a mashup of like 3 appointments at once over the past couple weeks, and the Holidays, I’ve decided to take a bit of a breather and have updates return properly on JANUARY 6TH since by then I should have a decent buffer
Have a good rest of the year and I’ll see you all in 2021! 😀
I will probably stream pagework before then though so keep an eye on that, be sure to follow my Twitch so you’ll be notified when I do go live! 😀
ALSO I forgot to mention, I’m taking a Storyboard class that starts on Monday January 4th and will be a thing until like February 16th(?) so that may or may not delay things depending on how time consuming the assignments are so I’ll keep you posted
I might do a QnA thing during that timeframe
FYI, there’s a FD chat I’m admin of in Discord. It’s pretty chill and kinda goes idle half the time, there’s spaces for fanart/fic, Alternate Universes, or just general chatter. I even hop in sometimes with out of context ideas, or elaborating on some bits of canon (without spoiling anything). If that sounds like an interesting time, hop on in, just remember to be kind, courteous, and respectful ^_^ https://discord.gg/G4H3GeU
I messed around with the Random Cat Generator and made some Alpha Trio Reincarnations with the results. These are (probably) the canonical Alpha Trio Reincarnations from the last 5 recorded trios.
Random generators are fun 😀
I got a little overambitious and went way too hard with pages on my (unplanned) time off last month. And now the loss of the buffer compounded with a new job and, well, OTHER THINGS, significantly stunted my brainstorming and comic making process. Bear with me as I get back on track, although I do plan on taking a proper break in July but depending on how well I vibe with pages over this month I might make that break happen sooner.
Although I’m exhausted from work right now and when I’m this tired I get a little hopeless about things, I could get onto pages tomorrow and get really into it, but this is more of a heads up if I just skip weeks without saying anything cause sometimes even that is Too Much
Thanks for reading everyone ^u^
Isn’t this awesome? We made it 6 years with this comic! 😀
And while I don’t have a proper drawing this time around, I do have a video I made like 2 weeks ago to celebrate (and also that Easy Breezy opening is great I had to do something with it)
Thanks again for supporting the comic, everyone ^u^
