Quick blog entry to discuss some important stuff going on. Will try and make this one short and sweet, since there's a lot to cover.
1. Most of my comics (the good ones) have been re-uploaded into Exile Comics last night. I stated on each entry that I have no intention of ever deleting the original galleries for any of them, nor will I touch the one I haven't uploaded either. I just wanted to put my two cents into that section of the website since I'm the second biggest (arguably) comic creator since @Oz70NYC and to not have done that seems like a disservice to my niche. You will find works starting from Therapy Pt 1 with Erina Serebrova and Misha Kovalenko (which I'll admit, is due for a remake!) up to the latest, VG Elf and Bathhouse Bitch.
Going back through all these comics is making me even more anxious to go back and work on stuff. I've been a real mess for the past few weeks and not being able to go back and create while not only dealing with life, but also dealing with the ongoing bullshit of optimizing the game and taking out stuff just to get a fucking room to load is nervewrecking to say the least. Hopefully, things will settle down soon and I can FINALLY get the fuck back to work.
2. On that note, and on a more personal level, I've been dealing with some serious feelings of job hatred right now. We were told during a meeting that we would be getting a yearly bonus based on several things if we were hired before a specific date. I waited through the first half of the month to see if I would get it by then, which I didn't. Upon contacting my people from work, I was told that I would only be getting 350 USD in addition to my salary, which is about 130 dollars more than that. It was a HUGE demotivator and it put a violent break on my plans. My work for almost 20 months is worth 350 FUCKING DOLLARS. I probably shouldn't have set myself for failure as greatly and should be thankful that I'm getting anything at all, but still. The fact that companies give so little of a fuck for employees is rage-inducing. I NEED to upgrade my rig for this and other things too. So I don't know how much longer before I tell them to go fuck themselves. It has gotten that bad.
3. Since I obviously haven't gone out of my creative rut, I started doing videogame galleries for everyone here. Street Fighter, Pokemon, League of Legends and whatever else I can come up with. Working on these has been fun, but also quite frustrating because of the whole optimization garbage. But I intend on continuing this as I get some more ideas and just run with it. However, I have gotten to a point in which I'm planning for comic sequels already. Namely, VG Elf 2; and yes: CNC Baby 4. I hate that I have to put Dani's story on hold, but I have to get back in the saddle. But also, I noticed that Issue 1 is pretty vague in terms of setting the characters and story (save for whatever you guys think) and I would like to do a Redux version of it, adding a few scenes and changing a few dialogues. I'm mostly content with how it came out, but I do think that I needed to set up a few character arcs since the beginning, particularly with Max. "When did he start noticing Dani as a woman? How did he become attracted to her? WHY did he become attracted to her?" Same with Dani. She just likes him and that's it. And that is NOT how you bring people together. So, a Redux on Issue 1 is definitely in my to-do list now along with Issue 4. It's just a matter of choosing WHICH of these will be getting priority when I get back into the gist of things.
4. Finally, there is one more thing I want to touch upon for this blog, and it's more of an aesthetic thing regarding Dani herself. It's not really a big deal and I can go either way, but while working on her Qiyana galleries, I realized how much I love a curvier, bustier version of her character. Here's where I want you guys to sound off. Do you prefer classic Dani, or bustier Dani? I won't make a decision regarding this right now, I only wish to know your opinion in this regard. Sound of in the comments for this one! Trapp, out!
