Just some updates about stuff for those of y'all who might be interested.

General Update - 1/20/2024

Hey y'all, figured I'd do a little text update of sorts since I probably won't be super active for a while.

---

(Streaming Update)

My new job & college are really kicking my ass despite it being the first week of both. I haven't settled into a routine quite yet and am incredibly exhausted by the end of my shift, so it's been hard to get things like art done or just the usual mental processes I need to do in general.

Due to this, I realistically can't do a stream schedule at this point in time like I tried to do earlier in the year, so I'm just gonna continue with the sporadic streams at random times. With the exception of any collab streams I might do with friends.

Y'all might see me around in other folks streams and stuff on occasion, but really I can't keep up with everything right now till I'm settled down in a new routine.

---

(Woeridge + Art Centric Updates)

For the sake of my mental and physical well-being, I'm probably going to stay on hiatus from the comic for a little longer until my routine is steady and I have proper time to focus on it. I just really don't want to overload myself.

This also applies to me posting just little doodles and stuff. Or at least it sort of does? I might do some small super rough doodles here and there and post them, but there's a super low chance of me posting completed pieces and stuff of that nature until things settle down. Don't expect much.

---

(General Updates)

I'm just gonna list these off in semi-vague bullet points because I don't want to get too into detail with them.

Health is fine minus the usual bits. But I'm figuring it out.

I've mentioned this in passing a few times, but I'm trying to get more serious about my strongman routine. Might post more about it if I feel comfy with it.

The creatures are fine if anyone is curious about them. They have been getting many pets and treats.

Thinking about starting my tattoo sleeve soon, just trying to decide on where I want my first tattoo to be.

I have a throne now. But y'all will have to find it on your own. (thank you again @blawnk for funding spiderbong and milk rock, you're too nice)

---

Don't really have much else to say right now. If you have my discord I'll probably be quicker to respond on the weekends than weekdays. With the exception of Saturday mornings. I'm gonna be honk-shoo-mimimimimi up in my bed until noon.

Take care of yourselves. Hydrate, eat, sleep, etc. If you see me you see me and if you don't you don't.

Woeridge Update 01/22/2025

---------------------------------------------------

TL/DW:

Woeridge is now a Webnovel instead of a Webcomic. Chapter 1 is now in a novel format instead of a webcomic format. That is all, take care of yourselves.

Woeridge Update 5/14/2024

---------------------------------------------------

Time for me to ramble once more <3

Despite cramming for finals and having to work, I've still been able to find some time to actually work on Woeridge. So that also means I can give more updates!

I'm slowly working on getting the backlog of Chapter 2 together, but funny enough it's not drawing the pages that's causing slow progress, it's the Field Guide.

This guide has sort have been the way I go about planning out the nature aspect of Woeridge. It's also how I decide what plants go where and what makes the most sense for the area, given its setting.

Now was writing a comprehensive Field Guide to the entirety of the Woeridge Area that includes maps of trails and information about the local Flora and Fauna necessary? I mean, I could have just slapped anything anywhere and called it a day, but my brain has firmly decided that if I have something where it shouldn't (even if it's a fictional setting) then that's BAD and I must pay for my sins.

Example:

The Black Walnut Tree (Juhlans nigra L.) grows typically in the eastern United States, needs an average annual temp of 55 degrees F, and requires direct sunlight. Now Woeridge, despite getting a ton of sunlight, has an average annual temp of 40 degrees F and is often quite cloudy due to Monsoon season, resulting in most of the plants in the area thriving best with partial shade.

Now while I could technically put a Black Walnut Tree IN the Woeridge area, it wouldn't make any sense from a botany perspective for it to be growing there.

And it's not just the Flora that's slightly holding the Webcomic progress hostage, it's also the Fauna of the area. Same deal as the example I gave. If I put a species of animal that literally cannot properly thrive in the climate of Woeridge IN Woeridge, then it wouldn't make sense from a Zoology perspective to have it there.

BUT! Progress IS being made, it's just taking me a ridiculous amount of time to do so. As I said in the last update, I will not be giving a set date for the beginning of Chapter 2, but it will be starting sometime in 2024.

I'll try to do an art stream later this week working on some non-chapter related artwork for the Comic, and will attempt to get a video update out on my YouTube for those who do not like to read my rambles/have an easier time digesting verbal announcements than written.

I will now be going to bed because it's like midnight over here.

Please behave and take care of yourselves.

Woeridge Update 4/24/2024

---------------------------------------------------

It's that time again besties~

So, got stuff figured out and now can give a proper update for the Webcomic moving forward.

At the moment I am in the last 3-ish weeks of my current college semester, which means cramming for finals like a mad man in between my shifts at my job. Unfortunately, this also means I'm unable to really focus on the Webcomic and getting pages out.

I have the chapter fully written, references completed, and so on. But I just don't have time to actually draw right now. So I'm going to be on Hiatus until I have a large enough backlog of pages to start posting.

I apologize to those who were looking forward to the release of Woeridge Chapter 2 in May. I didn't want to make this sort of update tbh. I was really hoping I had more time in my work/life schedule for art, but like most things, plans went weird.

I now plan to have Chapter 2 start sometime in 2024, but I will not be giving a set date as my life is just a lot right now and will be for the next while. I'll come back eventually with the next chapter and will try to post some supplemental art in the mean time.

Thanks for reading this little ramble. Please take care of yourselves.

Woeridge Update 01/12/2025

---------------------------------------------------

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!

I hope you folks are doing as well as you can during these times. It's not easy, but don't stop fighting and standing up for yourselves and those who are unable to stand up for themselves.

As I mentioned in my last update, I've been rethinking Woeridge and how I want to go about the comic going forward. Especially considering that I find it a bit difficult to actually want to draw sometimes. Given that not only am I working part-time, but also because of my smorgasbord of medical issues (two of them ended up being untreatable) and also being in school, it's just constant busy.

I still want to continue Woeridge, but I've been leaning more toward the idea of turning it into more of a "written-novel-with-pictures-sprinkled-in-between" format rather than a comic format. I'd keep everything else up, like the lore pages and whatnot, but I'd be posting written chapters with a couple of pictures instead.

I absolutely did not get this idea from something I read on AO3 nope nope not at all not at all besties.

I'll probably wait until the end of the month before updating anything if I do end up going that route. But whether it's a new update video regarding a new page or a video explaining XYZ on the comic turning into a chapter book format, there WILL be a update regarding Woeridge by January 31st.

Don't really have much else to say besides that. Take care of yourselves, remember to eat, hydrate, breathe, and do whatever other self-care activities you enjoy that help you.

Unrelated but I've have started another run of Pokemon Emerald and I just gotta say I fucking love Breloom. I have also adopted a dangerously intense addiction to playing SMT IV and have put in like 26 hours already. It's been like 3-4 days.

Woeridge Update 12/24/2024

---------------------------------------------------

Merry chrismin from the three of us!!!

Sorry I haven't updated the comic in ages or put out a new update video, I've been struggling to draw and find the time to really get back into things.

I'm going to take the rest of this week to really mull over of how I want to go about the comic going forward, then hopefully come out with an update around the end of next week.

But for now? I'ma enjoy the holidays and go get my discount candy canes. I hope that in the face of this hellscape you folks have a lovely holiday season, or- in the case that you're feeling down- find a safe space where you feel welcomed and loved and heard so that you can feel well this winter.

I am kinda back from my hiatus?

I'm still super busy, but I have a handle on things. I'll probably be streaming on Sundays and will update-update Woeridge sometime next month.

I'll be opening up my VGen during my next break since I'm getting close to midterms & stuff.

I am going to go shove my face full of snacks because oh boy I am tired and behind on assignments

Oh! High chance I'll be replacing my Linktree with a card thingy soon. Keep an eyeout for that change when it happens. Eventually.
