What I'm doing, How I'm doing

So here's what's going on with me right now.
The last week hasn't been pleasant. Nothing especially horrible has happened in real life, but I WAS accidentally reminded of an unhappy thing in my life the other day, and my mood plummeted so fast that I had to end the stream. Nobody did anything wrong, I just got sad. A few more bad things happened after that as well, which made me unhappy too, but... whatever. You get the point. Was in a bad place. For the MOST part I'm semi-okay right now. Still unhappy but now functional.
On the other end, you know that space story I've been working on forever, but never actually DO anything with?
Well, after a massive overhaul, I think I finally managed to get the story actually working. The characters are more enjoyable and likeable, the plot has a LOT more freedom, and because of the nature of the changes, I am no longer hopelessly stuck on the first chapter, since it no longer creates as many plotholes, and it doesn't confuse the reader to the same degree either.
Most importantly of all, I've FINALLY managed to get a central theme/moral for the whole story. One that I myself actually personally believe. And that's going to make this all feel a lot more personal.
I am also attempting to learn how to use the 3D modelling program, "Blender." Not because I want to animate or create character models, but because there's going to be a lot of "set pieces" that will need to be rendered over and over again. And if I'm going to make a webcomic, I don't want to ahve to fight with the perspective on every damn panel.

And of course, I'm still studying figure drawing and such.
I still have my webcam. And even though I've.... given up on wanting to stream games and stuff on Twitch with my real face showing... I gave up on that for personal reasons, I didn't feel like I was welcome anymore... I can still use it for certain things, like creating my own pose references, especially for foreshortening.
I've also been doing a few other RL projects as well, like finalizing my retro game room and learning how to properly barbecue. Only a few months until winter, gotta sizzle.
So yeah... that's where I am. Please forgive me for not posting much. ;v; I'm at a strange place in my life right now.

I know I haven't supported you yet but you'll always be a legend, Beau :]

No worries about the posting, and glad to hear you are making some solid forward motion on things. (And learning to barbecue sounds fun!)

Do what you need to do for yourself, man. It’s all any of us can do. I’ll be looking forward to the comic once you’re feeling better and ready to really get it going!
