Phil the puppet pig stars in "A pig deal between friends" + updates (Patreon)

Good afternoon my dears~ I hope you're doing alright today! I'm very excited, and deeply grateful to see new faces and new friends here! It warms my heart and puts my mind a bit more at ease.

-A big welcome here!-

If anyone here, new or having been here a bit longer, if you ever need anything you can always message me. Whether it's getting a link to a full comic or just wanting to chat, my door is always open and you are never a bother.

-Work and health-

Dropping a little handful of sketches here. I wanted everyone to know that the exercises have really been helping with my carpal tunnel. While I still deal with burning and numbness, it has been far less severe, especially as I change up how I tackle my work.

That being said, something I have begun dealing with recently is trigger finger in my index. Clicking and decent pain between it and the middle finger. Yesterday's sketches kind of really did me in after so it has been hard to work on a digital comic as fast as I normally do.

But! I did order some different supplies here to help. Soft, thick grips for pencils, darker lead so I don't have to press as hard. I've also been looking into better pads for my wrist on the desk as well a mouse that is designed better for taking pressure off the hand and barely moving the finger. I am hoping these changes will go a long way with helping me get back to a normal schedule with my work.

-Changes, Streaming, and art diversity-

The desktop camera is now fully functional and setup, and I am currently trying to get the twitch channel setup for streaming! It is my hopes that we will have some times with sketching, and others with digital! Both with requests of SFW and NSFW, and seeing how I can see us come up with new visions together! I think it is going to be a relaxing time and a lot of fun. ^^ The only thing left to figure out will be...do we stream at night like vampires or go daytime?

I'm also hopeful to start introducing some single art pieces back into the mix. I know that for awhile I've become so singularly focused on comic work, and so I lost sight of sketches and digitals. So here's looking forward to getting more in the mix for everyone to enjoy!

-A thanks in closing-

Thanks guys for continuing to help me improve. Some of you have provided very helpful suggestions, and others have been very kind with your words and support. I really was in a dark headspace, but I'm feeling better and more confident in doing my best with you guys.

Your words and being here...it means the world to me. And no matter how long we are together, I hope you will know with absolute sincerity how grateful I am for helping me and my family.

Bless you all.
