The Marion from the movie, obviously. Has anyone else every seen this? I remember seeing it when I was like 10, and it kinda stuck with me. 

I really shouldn't let myself put so much effort into a Duke Sketch, but I like the character a lot, and it's just nice to work on something simple for once. The more work a project requires, the less I want to work on it, and conversely, the simpler something should be, the more complex I end up making it. 

I hate Christmas. I'm so stressed out by it all. I'm going to be late with stuff again. I've been playing catch up for over a year. No more holidays. No more family. No more friends. That's what I want. I just want to be alone so I can draw. 

In other news, I've removed the highest tiers, The Fool, and The Princes. I just couldn't keep up with it, so I'm removing them to spend more time on my own stuff. I'll make less money, but I'll be less stressed out, and I live such an inexpensive and frugal life that I can afford to live on $15,00-$20,000 a year easily. It helps that I don't have any kids, dependents, or a car. Real life must suck for most people. I can't imagine going back to work at the UPS facility ever again. 

I'm not sure what I'll focus on though. More involved 'Wrecked' stories? Maybe I'll pick Dragonborn and the Dark Brotherhood back up . . . . . Maybe. I'd like to give Kee-Va or Starscout Dizzy another chance, and if I have the time I'll be able to. I've also thought about an actual Mark comic. Something short, obviously. But it would be 4-6 pages long and tell a story. 

It probably won't be till February at this rate, but by then I should be done with all my WIPs, and if I ever need extra money, I'll open up for commissions (to you, Patrons, not to wider public), and I'll cherry-pick the ones that are either the simplest (like this) or relevant to my interests. Dwarves. Wrestling girls. Fighting game girls. Stuff like that. 2019 is going to be my most selfish year on record.

That black guy

I remember movie marion and the weird shadow man bad guy

Master Dragon

Nice man, this was the only thing good about the movie. If they did it more fist of the north star that would've been the true double dragon movie.

Honestly Mark as long as you can find some type of happiness and keep doing what you enjoy, more power to you. Hard to love what you do when it stresses you out. I personally am looking forward to what you do going forward, and certainly wouldn't mind getting a commission that's closer to things you like (helps both of us that way).

Check the movie, was bad but live the sketch, power to you

Bro you should draw what you're into and I'm glad you're going to try this new approach, being back all the old Markydaysaid shit that made us fans of your erotic style and humor in the first place 😀 (Also Stepforded hood chicks bro 😱😱😱😈😈😈)

Outta curiosity more or less which characters does this mean we probably won't see in 2019? -Kam? -Ariela? -Rustyn?

-I will likely still take commissions from Kam's owner. Same with Ariela and King Rusty, BUT (big but) I'm super burnt-out on making comics for money, especially if they involve OCs rather than parodies of established franchises. I still enjoy making comics for myself. Part of this shift is that I can give preferential treatment to simpler ideas. So I'll prioritize pin-ups over comics, and established characters over OCs. For now, at least. I may switch back in 2020 if this change doesn't work for me.

This is a nice piece. I also actually enjoyed that film, and still do. And you do you, buddy. I know a strict schedule might not work, but I suggest having months where you free-form to do little things and months where you do comics: like doing pinups and such for January and using February as a comic month. But I know what it's like to get caught up in a flight of fancy and then get bored with it half-way through.
