Is It Almost Halloween Yet?

FULL RESOLUTION IMAGE

So I just to let you guys know, this image took me roughly ~8 hours to make.  And to be honest, I'd still like to shade it a some more.  So now imagine that I'm working on a 16 panel comic, in 1 to 4 hour installments, about 3 to 5 days a week.  Its gonna take a while.  Many of you have been very patient and I love ya for it.  I'll start popping in to say hi more often because I know it's important.

Living Up To The Name

 

Go Time

8/6/2016 EDIT:  Kind of a major snafu guys, the version of Flash that I have now uses a different programming language.  If I want to continue making Date Night I either have to recode every button and animation which is doable but a massive time consuming pain in the ass... or I start a new file.  Basically continue where we left off with a new flash.  A part two.  Let me know what you guys think.

It's here!  Arrived in the mail today.  Gonna spend all weekend getting everything ready to go.  Got programs to install... settings to customize... dreams to doodle.

Fucking PSYCHED!!

Are You Happy Now?

7/31/2016 EDIT:  Tablet's on it's way guys.

7/28/2016 EDIT:  THE GOAL HAS BEEN REACHED, THE 5 PANEL DONOR EXCLUSIVE COMIC IS FUNDED.  Thank you to everyone that donated, I really hope my work will be everything you were expecting and more... you all deserve it.  So just a reminder, only people that donated $5 or more will ever be given access to this comic.  I don't need any more donations to get back to work, but if you would like access to this M/S2 comic the buy in is pretty low and the deadline is still this weekend.  This is your final chance at getting access to this comic.  Again, thanks to everyone that donated, everyone that wanted to donate, everyone that offered their support and advice, and just thanks to everyone that stops in here.  You're alright  in my book.

7/24/2016 EDIT:  THIS WEEKEND IS THE FINAL DEADLINE FOR DONATIONS!  You guys have been insanely generous, I can't thank you enough.  By some time this week I will have enough and come the weekend I will order the new Companion 2.  Here's my dilemma, I've got the money now but I did put a price goal on the donations, $750 for the 5 panel comic.  So I will be leaving donations open until the weekend, some time Saturday night, July 30th.  If you wanna be one of the handful of people that receive an exclusive Mom Son 2 comic, this is the final week to get in on that.  Anyway, thank you all you wonderful basterds, we'll be seeing new content in just mere weeks now.

7/9/2016 EDIT:  I'm gonna take a page out of Kickstarter's book and offer my donors something in return for their kindness.  So starting now, any donation $5 or over will get access to an exclusive original Doodle.  What will that look like?  Well, that depends.  There are 2 things that are certain: one is that it will have the mother/son couple from Date Night and the other is that it will be done in MS Paint.  But it could take 3 different forms depending on what donation goal we hit.  As it stands, the reward will be the couple having sex in a position not included in their flash comic.  But if we hit the $450 donation mark, I will include 2 extra panels that provide seductive context, a slight build up, potentially with undressing.  And if we reach the ultimate goal of $750, the comic will be at least 5 panels long with 2 of the frames definitely containing sexual material.  Remember, I will be making this available ONLY FOR DONORS CONTRIBUTING $5 OR MORE.
Fine Print:  Anyone that donated prior to this announcement, regardless of how much they donated, will receive this reward.  You will receive the reward via e-mail, most likely a private link to dropbox.  I will not share this with anyone but qualifying donors, but I can't stop those donors from sharing it elsewhere.

7/5/2016 EDIT:  I've been searching for a Paypal donation tracker to show you exactly how close I am to getting back to work, but it doesn't seem to exist.  Even if it did, it wouldn't represent the actual amount saved up so far because I'm saving every penny I can as well... which is about ~$40 bucks a week.  Anyway, I decided to just go ahead and make a very professional looking representation of the funds raised, and I'll update it every time there's something to update.  Thanks a million to everyone that's donated.

Go Fund Me wants to release all my personal info, Kickstarter and Patreon take too long, and FundRazr will hold onto your donations because they hide the fact that their pay service objects to Adult Content deep in their separate ToS.  So all things considered, Paypal donations is probably the best route to get me back to work ASAP.  I don't know why you would donate to this, I think you're out of your gourds, but it's your money will be put to good use.  This is a worthy cause.

For any art fags that frequent here, I'd love to hear your personal input on which tablet btw.  I'm leaning towards a Cintiq Companion 2 now because it's basicly the same price and most of the power of the Surface Book is in that clunky keyboard.  Also, express keys and Wacom Pro Pen included.  Any and all advice, tips, and personal experiences are welcome.

Closure............ Sort Of...

A year.  I'm so sorry guys.  I'm really ashamed to have kept you hanging for a year, you're all amazing and supportive fans.  You didn't deserve that.  And I'm absolutely shocked to see that this page is still getting somewhere around 650 views a day... WHAT?!  So I'm glad this will reach a lot of you.

"What happened?" you might ask.  Well, a bunch of things.

To start with, I lost my day job.  It was sudden and brutal, and it caused me to drop everything and scramble for another.  Including that potential art career which it turns out wasn't such a great opportunity anyway so... eh.  But I spent 4 months or so bouncing from place to place until I found something.

A few weeks in, I was making some money again and I came back to my desk to start up Flash and do what I do.  Except, my graphics tablet no longer worked.  I did everything I know how to do to get it up and running but it just won't.  Even if I could get it up and running I doubt my computer could handle loading up Flash these days.  It's been on a steady downturn for about 2 years now and can barely handle a few tabs open in Chrome.  I'm hanging up this rig's jersey, it was a good 8 or so years.

So is that it?  Am I packing up my bags and calling it quits?  Ehhh... probably not.  I gotta tell you guys, I have SUCH a strong urge to get back to this.  I have ideas for sexy stories all the time.  My itch to start drawing again is insanely strong right now.  But there is a HUGE financial barrier to that.

I'm done animating at my desk.  It's uncomfortable, constricting, and terrible for my health.  I have plans to buy a new MS Surface Book which I can take anywhere and draw... that's a minimum of $2,500 right there.  On top of that, Flash might cost me around another $700.

I have a good part of that money saved up, but even if I had every cent I'm not about to totally empty out my savings.  This will take more time.

So is there more Doodle Nooch comics and animations coming in the future?  There's a good chance of that.  I just have no clue when.  But you're probably used to hearing that from me by now.

tl:dr    I piss and whine about life stuff as if I'm the only one that has it, give a bunch of weak excuses, my old computer can't into computing anymore and I need a new overpriced one made for gullible artfags like me, I claim to "plan to get back to work" sometime this millennium.... give or take a century.

Rocco and Gina On The Beach

4/19/2015 EDIT: Just uploaded an alternate version, link below.  It has slightly different dialogue and a more trimmed bush on the Gina character.  I think I might have actually over trimmed it, but an accident I made early on sort of made it really difficult to go back and add more hair so this'll have to do.  It still looks nice.

Here's my second commission for Rocco and Gina (the couple from the Shower comic).  I think this is the best bit of animation I've done to date.  Comments and critiques are, as always, thoroughly encouraged.

Good Bye

Ah, I'm not sure how to say this guys.  And
please know I never meant for it to go this way...
returning to this blog gives me serious anxiety.
I feel sick just saying this but I need to
leave.  I can't juggle life and this blog. All my
free time is spent either working on content here
or thinking about how I need to be making content.
Often, I find myself so disappointed knowing I've
let you guys down by missing a deadline or just
skipping a day of working.  It weighs heavy on me,
but I'm not trying to blame you for any of it.
I'm not gonna give you the cliche "It's not you"
tripe.  I'm saying outright, I bit off more than I
can chew.  I fucked up.  So I know your asking...
How is this gonna effect M/S2 Date Night?  Don't
expect much to happen.  I MIGHT get to finishing it
some day, but not soon.  I love you all, take care.
