What happens when you just know the first (second, third…) version isn’t good enough.

Hey there and happy Monday! (Are Mondays happy? Aren’t we supposed to hate them?? Whatever…)

I'm now posting behind-the-scenes comic content on Substack! It's the same content I share on Patreon, but for anyone who’s interested in supporting my work and prefers not to use Patreon for any reason, you can now access it through Substack instead.

Not sure why I didn’t think of doing this before. Maybe because my brain is tired. But anyway…

It feels like I just crawled out of a vortex from hell—but I’m finally back and working on Sacrimony #9 again!

The past month has been rough. School completely took over my life thanks to the kind of teacher who seemed determined to make everyone’s life miserable with an endless pile of homework, trick-question-filled tests, and just a general “I dare you to pass” vibe. So the past few weeks have been a blur of note-taking, studying, screaming and survival mode.

The good news? I didn’t fail! I actually managed to pull off 95s across the board. The bad news? It cost me a whole month of my life and I’d really like that time back to work on my beloved comic 😩

But anyway—you’re not here for my school drama. You’re here for Sacrimony, so let’s get into it!

Where do I even start?? Let’s talk about the main cover for Sacrimony #9.

This one’s actually been in my sketch pile for over a year now. Every time I looked at it, I got that little spark, like “Yup, this is the one.” It just has the right energy and I’m super excited to finally be bringing it to life.
