Monthly Archives: June 2023

Status update: 6/29

Hey again. Once more, I am back with a status update at the minimum – since I do not have anything final to post as of yet.

I have had effectively no solid time to put towards renders and such for like two weeks now… and nothing I have seems good enough and/or done. (I still want a render or two to go with the short story thing as well, but I have not been able to do that yet.) I kept waiting to post something here/on my site until I was sure that there was just no way – and the air quality today is even worse than yesterday… so June is just a wash all around, really.

The weather last week here was super humid and rainy/stormy for literally a solid week and a half – and then for the last few days, the air quality is somehow worse than it was earlier in the month; it was 191 AQI today – super close to the 200 threshold, which is flat out dangerous. (From the Canadian wildfire smoke again.. and by the way normal AQI is like 10-35.) I had migraines most all last week, and now this week I have the horrible air quality to deal with – which is supposed to continue for a while again. Apologies, but this is literally the worst air quality in my area that I have ever seen, and some of the worst/strangest weather to go with it; life is just not cooperating at all lately, between this and other real life things I need to get done.

I really hope to have a decent batch of stuff to post soon if the weather and everything stops being awful for a decent while. I will do what I can, and we will see how  things are going by mid-July – I will be back with some kind of update here next month regardless.

Final note of June – at least someone finally voted in the poll… so thanks to that person; but more votes would really be nice. I apparently have to just leave it up again… and we will see what happens in July all around. I should be back in a week or two with a status update at the least, but who even knows anymore.

Any interest, comments, follows, likes, votes, or support really does help. It is hard to keep making new stuff when nobody seems to care. Following me on DA/slushe/pixiv/twitter/whatever doesn’t cost anything – and that all does help spread the word about my work… so please consider doing some of that if you haven’t already.

 

Status update: 6/15

Hey. Just wanted to check in and let you all know I am still around; the main issue has been that the weather has been nuts this past few weeks.

Last week was the worst air quality I have ever seen in my area in my entire life, (it got to over 160 AQI – “very unhealthy”, from the Canadian wildfire smoke) and then the temperature flopped around after all the smoke was pushed out – and only now is it stabilizing again. I have made minor progress on a handful of things, but nothing enough to post – and I have a bunch of crap that I need to check/manage this month also. (Patreon is forcing some new shitty page update late this month, and I apparently may have to redo my page… again – not entirely sure yet; but nothing Patreon has pushed out in the last few years has been positive.) We will see what the next week or two holds… there is just no way to know at this stage.

Side note – still no votes in the poll… which is not helping my motivation at all. (Still not exactly sure why there are no votes either.) No idea when I will be back, or what with – if anything; real life crap takes priority, and I just don’t have the time/energy/motivation that I did a few years ago.
