Welcome to 2025 y'all! This little guy above I might turn into a shirt or something. I'll keep you posted :3 I really enjoyed the challenge of working with a limited palette and I'll definitely be doing more.

So! Group question: cliche as it is, what crap are you leaving behind in 2024 and what are you bringing in for 2025 for yourself?

For me, 2024 was tough. I lost my day job to AI, and Patreon forced out per-creation billing in place of general monthly subscription (both events significantly dropped my income), lost my Nana, burned out HARD, and ended a major comic arc I had been working on for the last nine years. Taking it easy during the holiday season probably saved me from spiraling down further. Still, I had a lot of fun moments too and the last couple cons have been great, so I can't say 2024 was bad, just tough...

So for 2025, I'm trying to drop this pressure I have on myself to be on a constant upward trajectory. I want to only say yes to projects I actually WANT to do instead of just taking whatever and phoning it in just because I'm scared of further loss. The image above and Waldren's daki, for example, are products of me being actually present and leaning into the joy of the craft, and I hope it shows. I want to carry that into the comics and all other works this year.

This month, I'll be primarily focusing on getting Waldren's daki complete and ready for pre-order, keeping the commission queue moving along, and picking up where I left off on the side comics Curse of the Were-Coop and Springing Back (paid members only til completion). I'm in pre-production for Rail Vol 1, which I'll kick off once it's ready!

Thank you guys for being here and supporting what I do, it means everything to me. Happy New Year! 🥂✨🖤🤍

hope your 2025 is much better! 2024 was a little rough too but just gotta keep pushing through as always

This’ll be a good year, I just know it. Just gonna take a little more hope and a plan this time. Despite everything, you absolutely smashed it last year in terms of creation. Can’t wait for the Waldren Daki to grace us since his big old tummy is just so huggable. Xwx As for what I’m leaving behind in 2024? Probably my old self again. He’s not really fit for what the world has in store. Not anymore. Maybe I’ll come back to him in better times, but that remains to be seen. I wanna advocate for myself more in 2025. Stand up for what’s right rather than what’s easy. That sort of thing. I hope you all have a happy new year!

For me, I parted with my bf for 4 years last chrsitmas, and my nearly 8 year old twitter account got suspended right at the new year's eve. So I guess this is the time to move on and rebuild my social life with new people I don't know. I will grieve over my loss for a while but that's the life and I eventually have to stand up and keep going.

For me it was the stress, worrying about every little thing beyond my control, and just let feeling like I meant nothing in this world, but not anymore! 2025 better make way for me, for you, for all of us! Keep your hope and heads up, I can’t wait to see the return of our beloved characters and all sorts of mini stuff, happy new year jackaloo!

Is werewolf treats a new merch idea you’re gonna be putting out?

Here’s to the creators! Hope your 2025 is productive. As for me, I hope to get something I’ve been working on for some time now picked up.

oh i love this piece

I'm going to try (its hard sometimes) not to overwork myself. I work in a profession that's in high demand and it's often hard to say no. The result in 2024 was lots of money, the downside was (like you) no time to myself. It sounds like you can relate.

I'm gonna try and focus on my physical and mental health. NGL I've destroyed my body over the last 2 years (drinking etc) and hoping I can still save it. I had a really shitty 2024 and want to forget it ever happened

GreenDreamer

Wait, AI?? Jesus, I did NOT hear about that…absolutely ridiculous. Well, let’s hope 2025 can bring some positivity and good out of the world.

2024 was no better for me. First my grandma AKA my last grandparent passed away and my mother was broken up about it, then my morning job was reduced from 5 days a week to 2 days a week due to budget cuts. To top it all off, my morning job didn't play any Christmas songs nor had a breakfast with Santa this year.

Oskars

2024 was the best year of my life... I found someone who loves me and can support me...

2024 has been a real one. Lost a contract gig that was suppose to guarantee work through the year, lost 3 family members, started a new business, traveled to 7 states, got my passport for more travel in 2025. I'm hoping the dues paid in '24 can help pave the path towards success in the new year!

I'd be more than happy to wer this as a t-shirt (front or back image) or even as a baseball cap!
