📣 March Update! - Almost there
🕑 Added 2025-03-02 03:40:42 +0000 UTCHey guys! I'm sorry for the radio silence.
I'm now in crunch time for my final uni project. I'm managing around 15 people at a time and drawing/animating/scripting 10 hours a day. I'm working on everything right now but i'm prioritizing not injuring myself & not burning out.
I share these bc while i am used to sit all day and draw, it's insane how much time piles up while animating a project. Then again, it's just true when it comes to all big projects, the wg Comic here takes me around 10 hours a page.
Drawing bellies is sort of a relief from all the stress, actually.
I still owe a couple of commissions and some of you guys have replied, thank you. Bear with me for a bit, i'm sendind updates this week but i'll be back online by the third week of March.
That being said, i'll share something that's been on my mind:
The Discord Community is already set up but i'm holding on because i want to be able to share stuff actively with you. I'm also thinking on doing some small Youtube videos: some drawing tutorials and my thoughts on being a wg artist. I really don't know if anyone would watch them but- i believe there's stuff -good and bad- that can be discussed. Because you know, most people can't go sharing gigantic drawn bellies everywhere. (Even if we wanted to).
Also, crunching animation shots for a whole month really changes your perspective on how physics and drawing works, damn. I've animated in the past but now that i'm developing the skill against my will (jk) it is pretty neat. And since i'm loving hand drawn animation and playing around with cut outs and wobliness, i reinforce my thoughts on animating for you all later this year once TBTW comic nears its end.
There's still plenty to come don't worry, i might start animating some panels and bits from it first.
I have some other thoughts, but i'm just aiming to focus on what i already have on my plate. At the back of my mind try not to feel guilt from not being online as often or sharing more pieces. Like, Invincible and Vox Machina came out with new seasons. OP and DanDaDan even. I could be drawing a bunch of new stuff in general, but,i guess it's only a matter of time before we go back to weekly pieces. And i'm excited.
Thank you for sticking around and reading this <3 Have a good one.

Just curious, but do you a timeline on when the backlog of previous month winners are coming?
