Update Delay!

Sorry, guys! Won't be able to update Hotarugari this week or the next since I have to help my parents out with a family thing. (We're having like... a second Thanksgiving?!) and then spend a week in Anaheim. But next, next Sunday maybe?!

Brief Hiatus Oct.16th

Setting aside Hotarugari briefly, until sometime between Oct. 6th - 16th, to work on my portfolio and pull it together for a review submission deadline. The amount of work I need to get done before then is killer, but 'll give it my best shot and hopefuilly I can land an interview! Thanks for being so understanding, and I'll have more for you guys later!

Another delay

Darnit! No update this week either! My dad and I have to go to my grandmother's house today, (7 hour drive,) to move furniture for three days. Eh heh... so fun, right? T~T This came out of the blue, so I wasn't prepared for it, but I'll be back Tuesday. Thank you guys for being so patient!

Dog agility, bees, and other concerns...

Sorry! No update this weekend! (But you guys are used to that by now, right? XD) My mom accidentally injured her knee, so I've had to take her place in a dog agility competition with my aunt's dog. On the side, my bees arrived, so I'm learning how to become a beekeeper from our neighbor, and I got a cat rather by accident. (I'm afraid of cats, so that was unexpected!) It's stuff like this that always seems to happen when I'm trying to work on this comic. TAT But the next page is almost ready, so I'll get it done as soon as I'm able!

Hiatus ends - 3/28

Heh, kind of went on a unannounced hiatus there. But good news; the hiatus is almost over! Spring break is almost here, and I'll finally have time to draw again. Next page of Hotarugari is coming 3/28! I'm also working on a little something to celebrate Hotarugari having 2500+ fans, but that'll come later. XD

See you guys Wednesday!

Tablet troubles!

So you heard the bad news, right? To top off everything that's been happening these past couple months, my tablet broke. Right now, I can't afford to buy a new one, and without one, I can't draw Hotarugari. T^T I've been borrowing my sister's tablet as much as I can these past two weeks, but she needs it for her art classes, so progress for Hotarugari is slow. I'm working on getting another tablet right now, but until then, just hang tight, guys! Updates will resume next week and I'll try my best to keep updating from there.

The 27th of December marks Hotarugari's 2nd Smack Jeeves Anniversary, so I'll definitely have something special for you guys by then!
