First off, I wanted to say that I hope you had a great Halloween! I personally didn’t do much, just munched on candy Nerds and watched hilariously bad movies on Netflix. Was unsure if I wanted to go out, but as soon as it started snowing my decision was made. I wanted to do a Halloween comic about a witch eating too much candy but I ran out of time. XD But still had fun!
I want to get better with updating everyone on what’s going on with projects to bring everyone up to speed with the reason with the big changes. I’ve debated on doing an audio recording cause I really suck at writing and with this going to be a little long. But I need to work on my writing skills so here we go!

Now let me fill you in about the reason for the modification in the patreon rewards. The reason for the change was because at the beginning of the month I became incredibly stressed out with the line arts I’ve been doing. With everything else thrown in without any sort of organization it was really affecting me mentally and I found it hard to find any sort of inspiration. With hours staring at a blank page with no sort of ideas coming to mind. I also noticed that the quality of my work had gone down drastically and I felt that something needed to change before completely crashing.
Don’t get me wrong I love drawing out your ideas, but it became a little overwhelming getting them done in time. I can’t thank you enough for your all of your support over the years and I wanted to give more to everyone without adding more stress every month. That’s why I’ve changed it and to try something new.
I’m not entirely sure if this is going to be permanent, I might do some tweaking around with some new stuff. I guess we’ll see.
Comic Projects
Party comic
In regarding the Party comic I’m hoping to rap up sometime this month. Hopefully…before the end of the year at least. Once it’s done I’ll probably go into detail on my thoughts of the overall project. So with any luck in the next 4-5 pages it will be finished. Though this comic the High resolution download will not be available. Reason being is that when it comes to comics I get really messy with layers in clip studio and even I have a hard time distinguishing where everything is located. In the future I’ll make future projects it a bit cleaner.
Clean Up Duty
Though I do have some bad news… Sorry to say that Clean up Duty that I’ve been working with :iconbrainstorm332000: will no longer continue. I’ve felt like that I needed to stop this comic for a variety of reasons. I have been really busy with my personal life, with my job and with patreon. The biggest reason is that I’ve lost all interest in the subject matter, with it being trash eating. When I started this comic I did not realize just how long of a comic it was going to be and how long it would take. Looking at the script that I was given there were several chapters more without a clear end. Considering it has taken years to get to the second chapter.
As time went on I felt that the quality has gone down and I been feeling less passionate about the project. Also it felt like that I was putting everything on hold while trying to get this done. With having very little time, I’ve felt that I needed to end it where it is now. I know I’ve disappointed a lot of people with the cancellation of this comic and I deeply apologize.
I want to thank and apologize to :iconbrainstorm332000: for all of his support through all of these years considering that he was the very first person to commission me with the very first comic. I really hope that he could find another artist to continue this story.
Future Projects
Once the Party comic is done I’m going to take a break from longer comics for a while. I got a pile of short comics that I’ve really want to get done. Most of them are to 3-4 pages long. Maybe go back and start up some older works that I’ve posted in the past. Once I’m caught up I might officially start the ‘Milk Maid Café ‘ Though I’ll go into that in a different post once the Party is finished up.
Commissions
As of right now, commissions are still closed, I’m currently working on some cut scenes for the Vale-city game that I’ve been working with :iconnarukami92: and coming up this will be the last update (which will be next year I believe). I’m hoping to get these scenes finished by the end of the month. By the latest the end of December, though I’m not sure when commissions will be open again but chances are at the beginning of the New Year.
I’ll probably take a couple days off coming up just to recharge a bit. Last month really took the wind out of me with the Inktober, The Party comic, my job and other personal matters. I’ll let you know when I will start on that.
Thank you all for your support!

This is as far as it will go unfortunately. I have a lot of other projects to do currently.

Shame about CUD. Is it cancelled effective immediately or are you going to polish off the current chapter? Rejigging the tiers sounds like a good idea.
Santoson
How much of the second chapter of Clean-Up Duty would be left by now? As it's not well received to switch artist in the middle of a chapter
