Just realized that I never explicitly mentioned it in this blog, so here goes: I have multiple sclerosis, which means that I'm susceptible to a lot of health problems like muscle pain, inflammations, fatigue, brain fog and a bunch of other symptoms. On top of that, the treatment for it intentionally makes my immune system weaker, which means I'm more prone to getting sick.

For the past almost two months I've been mildly to severely sick, with different illnesses, one after the other, back to back. I have not been able to work on updating Traces of Spring, or any of my other projects, because I have a chronic illness that makes my life unreasonably difficult. I understand none of you have bad intentions but I'll ask that you stop asking me when I'm going to update. I don't know. Everytime I set a deadline, my body decides to play very petty and cruel games with me and I'm out of comission for 2+ weeks. In this scenario I'm going to prioritize my health instead of working on a comic none of you are paying me to do. If any of you ask me in the future, you will either be directed to this post or ignored.

Thank you.

hello, I found your kung fu panda comic for the first time today (read everything that's available on ao3 it's so good <3) and I just wanted to say that I am in love with how you draw tai lung, he's insanely pretty, absolutely gorgeous <333

Traces of Spring is back with chapter 11!

In which Tai Lung starts to explore new possibilities and maybe uh... starts to unravel some prejudices deep in his heart.

READ IT IN:

Not sure what the comic is? Read my introductory post here! ^_^ If you enjoy it and want to support me, consider checking out my PATREON! Because I have one of those now.

See you all next chapter!

bonus pages taking a bit longer cause i decided to take extra care with them this time… however the most important part is that they've also been very fun to do :)

my life circumstances are changing, and patreon will greatly help me make ends meet and pay rent. nothing about this blog will be changing - i'll still be posting a cat doodle every day, same as i always have.

i have a $3/month tier and a $6/month tier - both work as tip jars, with the latter being if you feel especially generous and can afford it.

right now i have transparent and/or higher-resolution PNGs of certain catcrumbs that i've used for redbubble up for members, if anyone wants to make emojis or such. i'll also be taking requests for drawings to be transparentized and/or put on redbubble. in the future i may start offering additional rewards - bonus art, requests, maybe physical stuff - but my life needs to settle down a bit before i do anything like that.

your money is of course yours to do with as you see fit (and there are many many good causes out there that i urge you to donate to), but i hope that if my little drawings have given you joy over the years and you have the room in your budget, you'll consider supporting me!

i also have a kofi and redbubble if you'd rather support me that way!

no matter what - i genuinely appreciate all the kindness i have been given. i try very hard to keep catcrumb a self-driven art exercise - just one cat a day, doesnt have to be perfect or even good, just has to be a cat - but i couldn't have kept up the hobby without so many people's joy. it's been a genuinely incredible experience for my silly little scribbles to have positively touched people's lives - in-jokes between friends and partners, a gentle reminder, tattoos and baby clothes, something to look forward to... it's really been a flood of human kindness.

thank you all so much for all the joy - here's to more! :~D

finally making steady progress in environments after months of a lot of health problems. completed around 5-7 pages in a single day, currently working on the "double page" spread. feel really good and energized all over again and i'm finally actually feeling excited over art!

if i continue with this pace i'm hoping¹ to release chapter 11 next month¹ after a long hiatus :)

¹ hoping, as in, this is only a wish² of mine

² i also hope/wish i'll be in good health but like, i dont know³

³ never trust anything i say about release dates

I'm now on Patreon! I'll be posting longer behind the scenes content of all my comics, previews of future projects and more! I already posted a longer update on chapter 11, if you want to read that. As a courtesy, all posts until the end of the year will be free.

Now on top of that, all posts will be made free after a month, so you can still read everything I post, it will just take a bit longer. Support me only if you truly want it and have the means for it! Thank you!

Visit my patreon here!

I said all posts will be free until the end of the year, but I changed my mind: they'll all be free regardless, pay only if you want to.

If you want more detailed (and regular) updates on Traces of Spring, check out my patreon! Despite complications, I'm still working on it!

btw i still have some asks that are in my inbox for months now that need answering. sorry about that, some of them just require long answers that ive been too tired to develop. others are compliments that i like to look at and i dont want to get rid of them

:)

either way i'll try to get to it after i publish traces of spring chapter 11

Sorry, didn't mean to message twice but I'm on bad wifi and in a hurry. Do you have a patreon or ko-fi or anything?

first of all: im sorry for the sheer lenght of time it took me to reply to this, i swear tumblr desktop was not showing your asks and i was only able to see them now that im on mobile. thank you for your kind words! im glad you loved sizhao, i enjoyed creating him a lot :)

second: i do have a ko-fi, which can be found here. its an outdated page in need of reform, but its what i got. and im working on a patreon page. lets see if i can release it this month

and in response to your third ask, im not currently working on illustration comissions because my health has been somewhat frail and i dont know how much time i could devote to it. i dont want to make promises to people if im not sure i can deliver on them. i will make a post about it as soon as i can however :)
