Update on the financial situation: thankfully my landlords are giving me some leeway after I explained how my salary had been delayed for months. I need to pay $650 before the end of April so I'm reopening comms while working on backlogs

I've been jumping from one passion project to another and found myself buried in a ton of WIPs so have one drawing WIP and one fic WIP

Very rough sketch of a comic with Solomorne and Suyin! Please excuse my chicken scratches LMAO Not sure if I'll make this a part of a wider comic or keep it standalone but it's a partner piece to the erotic comedy fic I'm writing. 🙈 Here's an excerpt:

Marshal Strachs' booming voice filled the precinct as he read the header of the report out loud. “ADEPTUS ARBITES INCIDENT REPORT 4481-77-B Reporting Officer: Proctor Solomorne Anthar Subject: Self-Investigation of Potential Misconduct with Rogue Trader Suyin von Valancius Classification: Personnel Matter Addendum: Emperor preserve me.” Prefect Vultur’s wrinkled face wore an expression of perpetual disdain, but her glower was especially scathing. “Proctor, why is there a tactical diagram attached?” The other Arbitrators present did not express any outward reactions to the several appendices attached to their copy of the report, but the sweat forming on their brows and the way their hands tightened around their dataslates was the first indication of their imperturbable facades cracking. “To illustrate the sequence of events,” Solomorne answered flatly. Strachs perused the evidence. “Why are there four diagrams attached?” “The situation evolved.” One Arbitrator present inhaled sharply. “If there are no more interruptions, I shall proceed reading your report, Proctor Anthar,” Marshal Strachs grunted. Prefect Vultur’s glare remained disdainful, but she nodded. Complete silence filled the hall. “Personnel Incident Report. Subject RT-1 approached DX-1 on the bridge of the von Valancius flagship Invictus approximately five hours after the capture of the Heartless. (Refer to ADEPTUS ARBITES INCIDENT REPORT 4481-77-A for further information.). RT-1 approached with a proposition of a personal nature. DX-1 received an invitation for a private audience in RT-1’s personal quarters. (Refer to Appendix A: Full Transcript of Conversation.)” Marshal Strachs referred to another datapad containing the said transcript. “RT-1: So, I finally have you to myself, lawman. RT-1 emerged from her ablutions chamber with inadequate armor that leaves her ill-prepared for an ambush and initiated physical contact with DX-1 by placing her left hand on his carapace. RT-1: No doubt you had been sniffing around and investigating my past. Well, as a show of good will, allow me to help your little investigation. I’m an open book. DX-1: Your cooperation is noted, Rogue Trader. RT-1: Would you like to do an inspection? Or perhaps a demonstration? I submit to a full body and cavity check. RT-1 employed unauthorized contact with DX-1’s belt using her right hand, meant to provoke. RT-1: I have skills and augmentics carried over from my brief stint as a joy girl. DX-1 firmly ceased such activity by seizing RT-1’s hand. DX-1: Show me rather than telling me, Rogue Trader. RT-1: Of course, Proctor Anthar.”

I have some good news and bad news! Good news: most of my back rent's cleared thanks to both donations and getting paid!

Bad news: this month's rent is due in 2 days and my day job decided to delay again 🫠 I owe my landlord ~200 USD

If you enjoy my work, any donations are appreciated!

Transparency on the comms: I'm working on my backlogs with my last two clients who haven't received their comms yet. Super grateful for their patience. I'll reopen comms and revamping my sheet as soon as possible! Slot reservations are open!
