Big text wall incoming! If you want the TL;DR version, scroll down to the bottom!

First off, I want to apologize for the lack of content this month. I took on a large commission, and following in my usual Peggish ways I went overboard. At my estimation, this comic will be 200 pages long when finished. I only need to prepare another 30-40 images, stitch some scenes together, then render and edit it all and it should be done ASAP. Most likely, within the first week of next month!

"Peggy what the fuck could you be working on that's 200 pages?!"

Folks seemed to really enjoy Gorakna the orc's last outing with a hapless elf, and the client decided that this time the tables should be turned in a grand fashion. Gora is front and center, bound up, and subjected to an unending train of elves that want that sweet, sweet orc seed deep within their bellies. "To what ends?" you may be asking, to which I can only reply, "Guess you'll have to wait and find out." =D

For those curious of the render progress on that comic, the pages are appearing in the $15 folder, located in:

15 Patrons > Working Folder > Drafts > Gold Monthlies > Gorakna Breeding

Next up in news, I decided to follow the Trent Reznor way of life and hurt myself again! My wrist got jacked up somehow a few days back, making working and typing a very difficult task to overcome. Wrist is on the mend though, hence why I'm able to type this very long update this morning!

My wrist injury immediately followed a 4-day long crisis involving my external NAS where I store ALL of my working files for both of my rendering rigs to share. I had to perform a massive file transfer and backup on everything before deleting a huge chunk of things on my NAS. The NAS is now going MUCH faster, but I'll still be replacing it with something a bit more beefy in the very near future.

Suffice it to say, both of these incidents together combined to create a solid week where I could get either very little or no work at all done, hence why the Gorakna comic is having to come out later than planned.

Last but not least, I made an announcement on my Discord and I feel it's right to make it here as well to all my patrons. Quite a few folks saw many similarities between my own work and another artist from the past - The Wicked. For the longest, I played this off as mere coincidence, but it's time to come clean. I am in fact The Wicked, everyone. I won't go into the idiotic reasons that I played that little farce for as long as I did, but I'm truly sorry for being dishonest with many, many people. I hope this doesn't affect my fanbase negatively, and I'll be happy to answer any questions to the best of my ability if anyone is curious.

Those of you familiar with my "Wicked" life may be wondering what this means for Hylore. Hylore is due for an overhaul, and now that I'm coming clean about who I was I plan on picking that series back up. I'll be passing on the Broken/BEU torch to an artist friend of mine and splitting my focus between the F.U.T.A. and Hylore. Expect more adventures with Josina Proudstaff, Fara den ur-Nerevar, et al in the near future.

TL;DR VERSION:

Sorry for lack of content, 200 page orc comic early next month, hard drive got borked, then wrist got borked, they are getting fixed, I am The Wicked, Hylore isn't dead.
