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.
