June 2022 Update

June, oh June, where do I begin?

 

June Summary


Webcomic Goals

I am almost scared to write out this part. I'm sorry, I barely made any progress this month! I am so ashamed of myself that I don't even want to take any screenshots! There has been no completed milestone progresses to speak of whatsoever.


Illustration Goals

I did have a proper illustration lined up to be finished this month, but I wasn't able to get it done ... the only two small artworks I finished this month was the following:


Picture 1: Cher

Picture 2: Art Trade Chibi

Initially the Cher illustration on the left was meant to be the illustration for the month...but in the end, I wasn't too satisfied with the quality of the outcome. It is very 'meh' to me, and more of a practice piece than something I would consider a full blown illustration. The right chibi is an art trade which was way too overdue that I finally finished this month! Finally, something to cross off the checklist.


Picture 3: Art Trade WIP





Speaking of art trades, I did also make progression with another art trade that I am in debt for, but I have yet to finish it. I just need to finish the colouring to be done with this piece, but unfortunately, time has not - and will not be on my side for a while.








Picture 4: Illustration WIP


While I'm at the point of sharing WIPs, I may as well share the illustration WIP that I didn't manage to complete for the month of June. I'm only showing a snippet preview of what I have so far at the time of writing. It's almost finished, but there's still a lot to do.


This is an exclusive illustration that I will be drawing for the tapas banner that I've been offered a place in! How exciting! Another milestone checked off for Arcanus Crucis woo! I can't wait to see this on the app once this is completed!


Picture 5: Webtoon Banner Feature





On the topic of banner features, this month, Arcanus Crucis was featured on the recommended banner features on Webtoon's Canvas page! The thumbnail looks amazing on there, I'm so happy! Thanks to this wonderful feature by the staff, we finally managed to break the 6k sub mark! Here's to more milestones in the future!














General Updates


With the seemingly lack of productivity that's been going on, I should probably address what's been happening. As I hinted at last month, I've been progressing into the next stages of my academic profession. I managed to land myself in a highly challenging new job that will be taking up entire days of my week ... giving me very little breathing room to be working on all my different webcomic and merch goal projects. Due to the higher degree of professional expertise required for the job, I will be needing to spend extra hours of my free time to study in order to maintain competence. All these shifting situations in my real world life has hindered my productivity as I struggle in this everlasting attempt to balance my life. Admittedly, a lot of my days off are spent simply resting and sleeping in recovery from the energy expenditure of the real world.

This next month will be even more challenging, and so my focus will be shifted into survival mode. Nevertheless, I am determined to keep up with my art productivity. However, as consequence of my failure to reach goals and my dwindling comic backlog, I am in a position where I am cutting it very close when it comes to uploading my episodes. In order to save myself from the worst case scenario wherein I am in a position where there is simply nothing left to upload - I may have to do the inevitable. That is, to increase the time between uploads from 7 to 10. Instead of uploading 4-5 times every month, I will only be uploading 3 times a month once chapter 4 has completed it's upload. Why chapter 4, you ask? Well...you'll see. Heh.
