Hey I've never done an update ever before. Figured I may as well start now.

Anyway, as you all know, I am terrible.

. . . Thats it. Thats the update. Nothing much else needs be said.

However, I did want to add that for all of about 75 of you that are following me still, I appreciate it, you're beautiful and I love you, and you deserve more art and I have been bad about providing it.

TL;DR - Two Things Specifically:

1) I will be opening Commissions very soon, mostly when I can settle on a platform and payment method to do so (and subsequently, if you have any ideas I'm all ears), and,

2) I will be focusing very hard on building up at least a decent little following before next year, when I will be revealing at least one of my large projects that I will be working on, and you'll all be invited! Yay!

I have a giant backlog of stuff to do and while I still have lots of requests I have not gotten around to, I'm always open to hearing more. And then, of course, the commissions, which is an extra set of worms to free, but we'll worry about that when we get there.

Too Long; Dont Bother Reading - I'll try and make this quick

As a few of you who bother reading through the books worth of drivel I throw out no doubt realized I am doing this art for an explicit purpose; learning to do a particular style that I'll then use to do other projects.

See, my calling is not graphical arts; it's actually writing. I've been making up entire universes in my head since I was 5, and my project I'll be announcing next year has been in the works since about 2008. It's just what I do.

However, I realized that traditional writing and literature is boring to me, and if I am not properly inspired to not only create, but actually enjoy what I make, then it is doomed to fail. See, I tried for many years to make traditional literature work; but no matter how I forged words, none of it hit the spot. It did not help that I was very Tolkien-esque in how I wanted to describe everything down to the perfectly minute detail. I want people to have a very specific vision in mind when they're reading my stories, and aside from text being exceptionally varied in it's interpretation by an individual, I personally find it annoying while reading having to remember each and every tiny detail over time as each scene plays out in my head. That is just not fun to me. None of these things would mesh well at all with how I wanted this done.

Cut to many years of struggle to cement my ideas properly and it occurred to me when a friend lent me The Watchmen: graphic novels. It was such a simple idea, why didn't I think about it before? Am I stupid? Rhetorical question, dont answer that.

However, I also did not want to be beholden to any other entities over the course of this endeavor, big or small, as I was not going to compromise on what I want to do. I have a vision, and it will not be changed. That meant I would have to do it all myself, art included. Which, ultimately, was fine by me.

. . . The problem is I am shit at art.

See, while I have gotten substantially better over the past few years, I am still slow, and finding time to do these things on top of that has been difficult because I am not only endeavoring into many different projects and tasks, I have been setting up businesses that I have to maintain (one of which will eventually be the company I publish my projects under, but that will come later). Normally, I dont mind being a little overworked; better too busy than not busy enough. However, I have a tendency to be lazy, and I let certain things slide far, far more than I should have ever in order to make some "me" time. My work on the art is one of those things.

After a very bad start to 2025, I finally pulled myself back up and have a renewed vigor. I will be catching up because I NEED to catch up. There is no other alternative. Apathy is death, and I am nothing if not sheer grit and determination. "Me" time has no meaning if there is no "me" worth being during said time.

I'm not looking into this to get rich or be famous. Truth be told, I am not even too concerned whether my stuff will be popular at all (though I want it to be, and making some money would be nice, which I am still definitely going to be trying to do). But it is what I am inspired to do, and these are stories I myself would want to read. I just need to make them so I gave some kind of contribution to the world.

I dont know who has read this far but I hope you realize I appreciate it all. I never had anyone who really cared about anything I do for my Life's Work. I like to think maybe I'll find a few people who do along this big adventure.

As always, dont be afraid to ask me questions, either commenting here, or emailing me directly at Dosypoo@protonmail.com. As verbose as I am, I am terrible at communicating. But no matter how long I am silent, I'm not going anywhere, for the better or worse. I do not give up on things I start.

I wish you all the best, and take care in the meantime.
