My next comic strip has its inking and flat colors finished. The only thing I want to get done before preparing it for release is giving this comic some shading. It's a 1-panel strip and it's scheduled to come out on Sunday. This one will also get a comic dub on the YouTube and Tik-Tok video releases. Since I got a bunch of views and likes on both sides thanks to the dub, it stands to reason that adding voice clips and sound effects to my comics is the next step to growing them. It's not the first time I did this, I had Charcoal have voice clips in the trailer for Charcoal Rabbit Tales: The Century of Sadness. But the last comic I released really got the ball rolling on that idea.

The comic once finished will be available to view on Patreon and Ko-fi through a subscription until Sunday. You'll also get access to sketches and behind the scenes content on whatever I decide to do. You don't have to sign up for these sites, but I'll appreciate your support if you do.

This next strip is set to be a Kaden Caverns strip featuring The Reluctant Dragon from one of the MythoRealm Strips I released some time ago and yes, both series exist together in the same world. Kaden Caverns is focused on a cavern in a forest called Wolfgang Forest/Caverns and MythoRealms is more anthology and connected to the world at large rather than one specific part. MythoRealms characters can appear in Charcoal Rabbit Tales and Kaden Caverns. But the characters from Charcoal Rabbit Tales and Kaden Caverns won't appear in MythoRealm Strips.

After that Facebook incident, I decided to lay out a list of social media I have as of 2024 I use/have. In case something happens or if any imposter surfaces. (Not saying that will happen, but you never know.)

Any social media not listed here in this post unless I say otherwise, I don’t have an account on.

I’m disowning my Discord account because of reports of hackers on the premises. If you see anyone with my name on there as of today, I’m not operating. Any discord account or server based on me or featuring my creations are unofficial.

I’m doing this to ensure my safety and to avoid confusion. The last thing I want is to be played like a fiddle or have others played like fiddles under the impression that they’re speaking to me. I’m not taking art commissions as of right now.

There’s only one Charcoal Rabbit internet user and there’s only gonna be one Charcoal Rabbit internet user as of today.

Just because I’m not using some of these at the moment doesn’t mean they aren’t mine.

Apologies everyone, no comic strip today. I've been busy and haven't found the time to finish a strip.

🎵Spider bear, spider bear, does whatever a spider can🎵

A sketch of Kashbear in spider-mode. Something he does in Hell as a punisher. In earlier work, Kashbear turned into a spider to rip Coyoyo apart.

Every good comic has to have at least one spider person.

So begins the marketing campaign for my currently in-development comic book! Are you hyped to see it?

Comic Status 8/10/2024: Currently sketching

In 2022, Charcoal is living the best life ever in Burnsburg, Arizona. He's doing well in school, has friends, and life couldn't get better. However, the announcement of Charcoal's older half-brother moving in with his wife and their babies threatens Charcoal's way of life. He resorts to running away from home but things go awry.

I'm back from visiting relatives. I'll return to drawing and writing like usual.

How often will I post for a while? 1 per week or at the most, 2 per week. Mostly on Fridays.

Today's been a very lazy day. I spent it listening to music. I watched The New Mutants (Based on the X-Men storyline of the same name. It's sad we didn't get Warlock in the movie he looks cool in the comics!) today (The first time) and rewatched Venom (2018). Even if Morbius was a dud, I'm looking forward to whatever Spider-Man character/villain Sony will turn into a movie. Like Kraven the Hunter, Black Cat, Silver Sable, Jackpot, Nightwatch/Nighteater, Madame Web, Hypno-Hustler, and El Muerto.

Had frozen pizza for dinner, t'was a very, "Okay, I guess," day.

Out of Context: Warlock in the original X-Men comics looks like a cartoon character. I can see why they didn't put him in the movie. (All their VFX budget went into the Smiley Men and Demon Bear) Magik was also in the movie and she's such a cool and attractive mutant. Magik was played by Anya Taylor-Joy who I first heard of from the Super Mario Bros. Movie (2023). I also find it sad that Fox's run on X-Men had to end when and on the note it did.

Day two and I started to become afraid of the dirty spots here. Dad gave me 5 dollars to do the dishes, the kitchen felt gross. I felt like I was on TLC. It wasn't that bad, I like to picture some things better or worse to heighten the experience for myself and/or to make things sound cooler than it really was. Basically, I like to exaggerate, I'm a writer and exaggeration is something some writers like to do best. Simply put, saying something that's true but not completely true. I swept the floor and wiped the stove, I saw them as something dirty that needed to be dealt with now.

I can be a messy person sometimes, I might not care where things go and how I live. Otherwise, I might be very organized and orderly. But there's a difference between being messy and dirty. I didn't even care about the 5 dollars anymore, this was personal.

I'm so my mom right now.

#summer #vacation #summervacation #cleaning #chores

I'm currently on summer vacation at my dad's place in my hometown. I feel more free than I ever have been at my current home in the desert.

I won't be able to make digital art for a little while. Gonna have to make do with pen and colored pencils like old times. I have all the time in the world to write, draw, and create things for comics. I'm gonna try and post as much as I can to try and get a following online, within reason. (Not like I'll post every hour on the hour)

I have realistic expectations on this and I know it's not like I'll just become internet-famous overnight, those moments are rare. It seems to take days, weeks, months, or even years for someone to get their foot in.

But that doesn't mean I'll spend my entire summer vacation working on my writing and art, I'll watch a few movies and read some stuff.

Have a good night, everyone.

#Update #vacation #summer #summervacation

This is a video discussing my plans for the future and what it'll take to move forward with them.

The finished scripts I have are 3 Charcoal Rabbit Tales scripts, 2 Coyote Kid and the Magikats scripts, 2 Kaden Caverns scripts, and 2 Papercut scripts, and 3 original scripts featuring my other characters (characters that stand alone but can appear in the other series) separate from the other series.
