Denatured Chapter 7, Page 18
/OwO…Pawbs.
For a while now I’ve had this urge to write, which I have not been able to shake. So I suppose I should probably take that as a sign that it’s time I did something about it. Contrary to my internet persona, (who is also the main character of Comic-Comic.) I like to think that the real me isn’t that stupid. Though I do feel that sometimes real me would give comic Light a run for his money.
So what’s this about? Why start writing now?
No particular reason why. It’s just that I often find myself with an overabundance of thoughts, ideas and opinions relating to the world at large. Unfortunately for me however, we currently live in an age where just sharing your thoughts online can get you into a whole heap of trouble. Now I’ll try my best not to do that, but that is why I don’t see myself posting these blog essays anywhere else but on my own website. Though if I do feel like one is appropriate subject matter, I’ll post a link to it somewhere else. …Keep Reading?
Let me just start by saying. I’m feeling much better and thank you so much to those of you who wished me well during this time. I’m sorry for the radio silence, It was just necessary that I take whatever time I needed to realign myself.
Some clarifications
I just wanted to clarify some things. I apologize if I made it sound like it was because a couple people criticized my art, that I fell apart like that. That’s NOT what happened. Please understand, I have had many other things going on in my life that I don’t share with people online. I don’t think I have to remind anyone that life sucks. This past month in particular, I found myself suffering in more ways than one. Pushing me into an extremely vulnerable state. So when people decided to throw some negative critiques at me, it hurt more than usual. The best way I can explain it, is to metaphorically picture me half dead while bleeding out on the ground do to completely separate circumstances. Only to be followed by someone coming along and kicking me in the stomach while saying “Oh BTW, your art sucks.” It was more like the finishing blow/cherry on top to an already crappy situation. IT WAS NOT THE CAUSE. It just pushed me over the edge emotionally at the worst possible moment. I just feel like I need to clarify that, because it seemed most people felt I was being overly sensitive to a generic internet critique and I’m sorry if it came off that way.
Either way, I’ll try not to let it happen again.
My current state.
Fortunately, I’m feeling better. I really used this time to recuperate and rest and I think I’m about ready get back to it.
But here’s the thing. I will be making a bunch of changes moving forward.
What’s changing?
Since I posted that last update, I’ve been struggling to figure out what I wanted to do and after giving it considerable thought, here’s the plan. …Keep Reading?
If it feels like I dropped off the planet these past couple of weeks, It’s because I have.
I’m not going to sugar coat it. I’m suffering.
I don’t even know how to word this. I reached a point of burnout, but that’s really not the issue. I’m just demotivated, unhappy and frustrated. So much so I don’t know when or if these comics will return. I’m suffering emotionally, financially, physically and relationally.
Then to top it off, I have some people randomly comment their criticisms of my comics, right as I’m just barely crawling my way back. I get that I suck at everything I do, but I did not need this right when I was about to pull myself back.
So will the comics be back? Honestly, right now I don’t know.
I’m just currently trapped in a cycle of depression, despair and hopelessness.
I have never been a fan of sharing personal emotions online, because it almost always backfires and is like a drop of blood in a shark tank. Me writing this will probably get me more hate than sympathy, but I still need to let people know what’s going on and why there’s no comic updates and why I’ve been radio silent.
For the past month, I’ve been contemplating stopping all of the comics and maybe just giving full animation a try, but now I’m not even sure I want to do that because of how much my art sucks.
Give me another week and maybe I’ll have an answer of what I’ll do next. I pushed and tried so hard to get people to like these comics and my art, but I failed miserably. They aren’t good.
Anyways,
Just thought I’d share that.
I created tons of extra work for me when I impulsively decided to do something I should have done a long long time ago. I went ahead and edited the URL address for Comic-Comic and Denatured. Both of which were under incorrect URL names that didn’t reflect the names of the individual comics.
This is going to take me a while to get all the archive links changed over to the proper ones. So please be patient while I do that. Links probably wont work until it’s completed.
I also want to note that former links to the comics will no longer be accurate. I’m really sorry for any inconvenience, but this is something I should have done a while ago and it’s basically like ripping off a band aid. It’s a huge pain in the ass now, but once it’s done, it’s done. Please update any links or bookmarks you may have saved to the new accurate URL’s. …Keep Reading.

Was Recently Approved For Adsense
A small heads up. I recently was approved for Google Adsense. So you might start seeing some ads pop up on the site. I’m trying my best to make sure they are not too intrusive. That’s not something I want to annoy people with. Yeah, I would love to make some money, (Not that I have that much traffic to begin with) but I also don’t want it to ruin the site. So let me know if anything pops up in spots that are a little too intrusive and I’ll evaluate it to see if I want to change it or not. I’m trying to keep it at mostly, one at the top, one at the bottom and some in between individual blog post.
Been a while since I wrote a blog post. Last time I wrote one, I was trying to see if I could start doing some more writing on various topics of interest. Obviously that did not happen the way I had hoped. Life really got in the way and kicked my ass this past year. It was not a happy time for me. Things are somewhat settling down now. (Knock on wood) It’s definitely gotten better since the start of 2025. So I was thinking of maybe revisiting that idea and writing more as I have time.
Anyways, just thought I’d write something since it’s been so long. Hope you are all doing well.
Stay fluffy,
Woof!
