Hello again all you beautiful people!

This is just a reminder that Sue n' Clark: Chapter 1 will be releasing in 2 days! The official release schedule is this Friday at 12pm. Mark your calendars. This has been a long time coming.

And of course, here's a picture of Sue that will be used in the official cover.

Hope to see you all then.

Hello all you lovely people!

After 6 months of arduous work, I can now say with absolute certainty, Sue n' Clark - Chapter 1 will be releasing with 27 total pages on Friday (April 19th at 12:00pm EST). This whole series has been 2 years in the making, and I'm glad to finally have it in a state where it can be published. I hope you all enjoy the official introduction to the world's worst duo from hell.

Very special thanks to QueenBoo for her work on the Cleanup process. She helped make all my super rushed sketches into something presentable.

Now for a sneak peak:

Hope to see you all on the day of release!

Time for another quick update. Its honestly not a whole lot, so lets just get into it.

Sue n' Clark: Chapter 1

I now have 15 of the 27 pages done. I still have 12 pages to go. I'm going as hard as I can boys. Hoping to have an official release by early to mid April. Look forward to that!

Its the end of the shortest month. Guess that means its time for a quick update on what I've been up to. There's not a whole lot to cover, so I'll just get into it.

Sue n' Clark: Chapter 1

As of now, I have 9 of the 27 (originally 28) pages done. Not a whole lot, but certainly better than nothing. The biggest thing holding me back from going harder is real life stuff. I have a full time job, plus I need to make sure I get enough sunlight (outside of work and groceries). Somedays I feel like I can get work done. Other days I just wanna waste away. Its quite the cycle. But I'm still chugging along.

I'm predicting I'll have a full release sometime in April. Not quite when I had hoped to upload, but still.

Hope you all had a nice Valentines day. I didn't really do much for that holiday. Too busy working on Sue n' Clark. Lets get into it.

Sue n Clark: Chapter 1

The first chapter will be around 28 pages (give or take). As of now I have 3 of them complete. Progress has been a lot slower compared to my sweet sixteen comic. This is due to a few things. Firstly, chapter 1 has backgrounds and set pieces that are meant to bring atmosphere to the plot. My past works had been lacking in backgrounds, so chapter 1 will have more of those to fill space. Secondly, I got the flu last weekend so any work I could have crammed in was not going to happen.

Hope these two screenshots give you a good idea of what's to come.

Hey there folks, hope you've all been well. This month, I'm gearing up for some serious work on my webcomic. Its time to get on my grindset. So lets get into all my updates.

Sue n' Clark: Chapter 1 (FINAL PHASE OF PRODUCTION)

Now that every page has been edited to my liking, I will begin the FINAL PROCESS of Chapter 1's development. I'll be spending a ton of time doing lineart for all the pages. I have no plans for color at this time, as it will only eat up more man hours (maybe in the future).

Expect Chapter 1 to release sometime in mid March of this year (fingers crossed).

A New Year a new ME!!!

I'm glad everyone had a positive reception to my new sona reveal. Its taken me months to figure out how I wanted to rebrand, but it all paid off in the end. I have no plans of changing or redesigning my sona anytime soon. It will be a permanent fixture for the foreseeable future.

Check it out here if you happened to miss it.

Figured I'd just leave this here for your viewing pleasure

So far, January has left me in a bit of a rut. I'm probably still recovering from some New Years Blues. Kind of disappointing all things considered. But regardless I do have a few quick updates to share with you all.

New Sona Coming Very Soon

I was hoping to have this fully revealed today. But my New Years Rut has gotten the better of me. The good news is that I have something to show for it. All I need to do now is figure out what I want my profile pic to be. I'll also want to revamp my banner to give all my socials a new look.

But in the meantime, here are some sketches for my new sona:

I'm moving away from the "Fat Nerd/Otaku" style sona and going for something more "avant-garde". That's to say I'm making something even MORE ridiculous than my original "MisterFatso" character. I actually have an entire outfit ready for this new sona whenever I'm ready to get on camera and potentially make videos.

I still need to get the beret. But other than that, everything is in place. I just need to make some final touches and I'll be able to make an official release of the new sona. Hopefully its the last major change I make to my online profile. And hopefully you guys like it.

Sue n' Clark: Chapter 1

As of last week, my cleanup/rework artist QueenBoo has completed their job of going through all my sketches. This means I'm in the final phase of releasing Chapter 1. Now I will need to complete the lineart for a total of 28 pages. Its quite an excessive number, but all of this has been a major learning process for me. I'm hoping there is a way to speed things up for the next chapter, but we'll see when we cross that bridge.

For now, let me show you some of QueenBoo's work.

I will try to tease more of my work in the coming days. But all of that will be done once my new Sona has been officially released. Look forward to an official release sometime THIS YEAR!

...And with the end of the year, I have grown both as an artist, and as a person. This year was a major stepping stone for my webcomic work, my art skills, and my real life. Though I wasn't as active online as the year prior, I can safely say that 2023 was overall a net positive for myself (current world problems be damned).

Now without further a-do, let's get into the recap.

Sue n' Clark: Concept

On February 14th, I released my first real entry of Sue n' Clark onto Newgrounds. This was my first time ever creating and uploading a webcomic onto the internet. A pretty daunting task, but I managed to make something of it (small as it may be).

I received a lot of good feedback on it that I later used for my 2nd official entry (more on that later). I'll admit, it was a bit disappointing not to receive immediate adulation on the spot. But we all gotta grow somehow.

Art Trades

After my work on Sue n' Clark: Concept, I fell into a funk. At the time, I didn't know where I would take the series. To distract myself and get some more creative juices flowing, I started doing art trades with other members of the site. I did three trades in total.

Unfortunately, I started to burn out quite a bit after the third trade. I needed some more time off the internet. It was at this point I began to realize my life needed some reevaluation. I ended up having to skip out on Pico Day which kinda sucked, but I didn't wanna make any crappy uploads while I was burned out.

Moved to a New Place and Made new Art Friends

While I was offline, I had the wonderful opportunity of moving to a new place, away from my parents. This was probably the biggest event that happened in my life this year. Its definitely taught me a ton about being an independent adult. The moving process was super stressful. But once I had officially moved into my new home, all the pieces started to fall in-line. I also found a lot of other people just like me who are artists, and I'm now part of a group of art friends irl.

NG Meetup at TooManyGames + Made even MORE Friends

By the time I had officially moved in, the NG Meetup at TooManyGames was just around the corner. The drive to Philly was quite the adventure. Had a ton of albums to listen to in the car (though I never got through all of them lol). It was great getting to see everyone at the main event. Kind of a bummer that the convention smelled with gamer stench, but I digress. I made a lot of connections with peeps like Sage, Emi, Marshy, and a whole bunch of other dudes I'm forgetting (sorry). I really hope this becomes a yearly tradition for NG. Its a great way to bring the community together.

Loss Collab

Getting to meet Sage at TooManyGames gave me the motivation to participate in his Loss Collab. The whole point was to create your own version of the Loss Meme. You can find my version below.

A very fun collab to be a part of. Plus, I got to step out of my comfort zone and draw something "creepy" for a change. My entry doubles as fanart for the web series "I Can't Sleep".

Sue n' Clark: Chapter 1 (still a work in progress)

By the time I got back from TooManyGames, I figured out where I wanted to take Sue n' Clark. I officially started work for Chapter 1 on July 1st. In that period, I spent months drafting, thumbnailing, and sketching everything. To save time, I handed off my sketches to QueenBoo in the month of October to fix up the panels. She's done a tremendous amount of work on Chapter 1. I'm very thankful to have her around.

Some time in July-August is when I realized I wouldn't be able to upload Chapter 1 before the end of the year. This was a bit disappointing, as I had hoped to have that done sooner. Turns out I bit off more than I could chew. But its a learning experience all the same. Though a blessing in disguise was right around the corner.

User of the Day

But before that, I got User of the Day (November 15). A bit of an odd victory, but I'll take it.

Sweet Sixteen Comic Contest

On the month of September, a comic contest was announced for NG. Just a week later, the art portal had gotten a MASSIVE update, allowing for webcomics to FINALLY have a place on NG. Both these announcements came at an incredibly opportune time. After I submitted my final sketches to QueenBoo, I got to work on my Sweet Sixteen Comic. I managed to finish it just 3 days before the deadline. The comic was officially uploaded on December 11th.

I didn't win anything, though to be fair, the competition was fierce. A lot of good comics came out that month. I just couldn't compete. Still, I had improved MASSIVELY on my webcomic skills from the last upload. This has given me a great amount of experience for future releases.

GoGo's Collab

A few days after my comic's release, the "GoGo's Collab" finally dropped on NG. I ended up participating just for the hell of it. Had no idea what these things even where until ForgeFrog made his collab on them.

Also, to anyone collabing with Forge in the future, he absolutely LOVES being told when his documents are poorly formatted :3

Secret Santa

And to end things on a decent note, I submitted a Secret Santa drawing on Christmas day. For the first time, I got a character that actually fit my style of drawing. Have a look below.

At the time I wasn't sure if it was any good. Plus I started having back problems (I sit like a gremlin). But in hindsight, its a good final drawing to end the year on.

And that concludes my 2023 highlights. All around a pretty decent year. I suppose we should cap this post off with a list of goals I hope to achieve in 2024.

Goals for 2024:

• Revamp my Sona and Banner
• Release Sue n Clark: Chapters 1 and 2 this year
• Participate in more collabs
• Make more fanart
• Keep improving my craft

Here's to a productive 2024. If you actually took the time to read all this, thank you.
