Wanders in and vomits this on your lap

So update! Life's been doing what life does to everyone! Curb stomp them in the middle of a glass covered alleyway!

Despite this I'm still chugging along. I'm currently building a surplus of pages I can use to queue up so I can ATTEMPT to do a set schedule instead of like having it be uhhh one page PER DECADE. Because I uhhh wasn't doing that earlier because I was a dumbass

The biggest issue has been breaking the model, updating the model because of the breaking, adding new models that will be used in one page for a gag then never again, fixing the models that will never be used again, and getting sucked up into Final Fantasy XIV There's a certain yellow-eyed, sassy, smug, bitch of a villain from that game that's been living rent fucking free in my head for the past couple months and he's pissing me off but I can't bring myself to kick him out even tho he hurts my feelings.

He is being beaten with a fly swatter as we speak

I've barely started Endwalker months ago and haven't touched it

Ignoring games that are weirdly far removed from the one this blog is centered around... I'm not dead! I hope you aren't either!

I have a lot of stuff lined up and ready. When my depressed lazy ass gets around and finishes more pages I'll start posting asap!

Also Elly's new model and design is finished and I hope you like how she looks! Because I got carpel tunnel from the redesign!

#not a page #i'm not dead #I'm so tired but on god I'm going to get back into comic making because I -grits teeth- LIKE IT #FIGHTING FFXIV OBSESSION #I'm gonna bite Emet-Selch

Okay okay okay so. Just stumbled across this, not scrolling too far down as to not become spoiled by the old pages but oh my god? This is incredible! Where has this been all my life? And you’re making it through the devil program too. You’re an actual saint and I am so happy to have found this comic.

Hello hello! Thank you so much for the kind words :'D I put my heart and soul into this comic and it's been both a pain in the ass and very fun. Been in the making since like 2014 and has been my drive to get into 3D modeling. I'm so glad you like it ;u;

I'd like to thank you all for your patience A few models broke and needed several hours and headaches worth of work to fix, but everything is all set and we should be back to regular posting now!

Hopefully

Might as well come here too

Had to put things aside because again, life has been absolutely horrible here.

That and a few models had to be fixed.

I managed to figure out how to properly add corrective shapes on Elly and give her wrinkle maps!

I can't tell you, how hard it is to find any info about making custom models for the source engine. I've been trying to get wrinkle maps on her for almost 7 years like damn

Good news is, she's ready now and I can't wait to show her new design off.

Now I'll get back to fighting off the hell spawn summoned by Summer's yearly inferno. Currently a June bug has made things personal and those giant flying corn kernels can't beat the shit out of themselves.

Holy biscuits I think like 20 people just followed me because of that old TF2 doodle

Hi everyone! I've reeeaaally slowed down on posting art here. My focus fell to personal stuff and well life has been beating my ass in making it hard for me to find motivation. However, I haven't given up entirely nor have I moved on from TF2. In fact, I have a lot of stuff planned.

Mostly as an SFM comic! For those of you that are new I made an SFM comic starring the teufort 9 and an old character of mine years ago as a joke but kept it going because people started to like it. Some time ago I started to redo it from the ground up to give it the polish I felt it deserved. Because life's a bitch, I had to put it on the back burner for a bit. I promise soon I'll get back to posting regularly

If you want to read the comic go here @direstraitscomic

If you don't mind the old cringey writing and the bad model I made you can also find the old pages there as well

If that's not your cup of tea, that's fine! I'll see about drawing TF2 stuff soon. Until then I offer a plethora of shit posts and goofy shit if you need a giggle.

Need Help Bad

To update everyone on my current situation, I'm kind of screwed at the moment. The past year has been the absolute worst I've ever had and it's slowly getting worse. I was let go last year January because of the Pandemic and it's been nigh impossible for me to find another because no one seems to be hiring here. Only two places have called me to interview me but have fucked me over after I picked a shift. My sister got herself pregnant and announced it right after I was let go. Because of that I was kicked out of the house to make room and moved in with my grandmother, the last person I ever wanted to live with. I had plenty of money saved up to hold me over so I could pay off my car loan but my grandmother didn't give a fuck and forced me to pay bills I could not afford. My mother's boyfriend also had the fantastic timing of breaking up with her a month and a half ago and she's now depending on me for emotional stability. At the moment I do not have much left saved up and I'm soon going to me put in the red soon. I've had to put aside my plans of going back to school because of this. I was brought over here with the promises of going to therapy, going back to school and getting a job my mother would help me with but that's all been thrown in the trash. My mental health has never been worse and the people I've been living with has been incredibly emotionally abusive and I can't fucking take it anymore. My commissions are open and I have a kofi https://ko-fi.com/kittin12376 and a Paypal:[email protected]

I do mainly cartoons/semi realism I'll do 10USD for a simple sketch to 55USD for a fully shaded image or

I don't want to do this. I'd hoped I'd have had a job already but at this point I have no where else to turn too. I'm fucking desperate and on my own here, I'm so sorry.

Sorry the pages have been a bit slow. Haven't been feeling very motivated lately
