Trying to get a few pages ahead on the comic again, but i don't want everyone to wait 3 months for another page cause i've already been slow >:( for whatever reason the sketches take me the longest, everything beyond that is just going by the numbers.

If you ever feel bad about AI, remember, With your human hands, you are capable of producing art the equivalent or better that a machine needs entire lakes, nuclear power plants, and overheating server farms to compete with. You, in comparison, are practically god.

A later villain in Next Life i've imagined as an eccentric TV-Headed dealmaker, but this is a trope done so much lately that i'm wondering if I should do something different, But it also feels i was born to write these sorts of characters so i dunno what to do lmao

I think we should go back to calling Boomers the "Me generation" again, like their parents did in the 60's and 70's, for being a bunch of self obsessed brats who can't let go of anything sorry, I'LL STAY OUT OF POLITICS!!

Nobody will have noticed this unless they're my ONE patreon subscriber, OR watched the twitch stream for this page but- Rhodek's hand was backwards in this glorious frame! I've since fixed it and now all you plebians who don't follow me super close will have missed the FUNNY ERORR!

So it's not like i have much of an audience or anything, But man, i so want to create SUCH a complicated split of how people feel about / react to Auri in her long-term arc, Not split on her being funny though, she'll always be funny

I'm really glad that i managed to shut off the part of my brain that gatekeeps me behind perfection when working on Next-Life, absolutely wild to go back and look at earlier drawings of Cleo's dragon form and how different her horns were compared to now. Art evolution is so important!!

Phew!! The goals to get my rent paid are met! (And rent is paid!) And, god willing, this is the last time i have to go through that!! A huge thank you to everyone, I have to find ways to pay the community back for giving me the ability to stay sheltered and alive, ty for the support again <3 ;_;
