They say time marches on. So too, does March, so it seems. As a result, I have produced for you a small selection of March Arch. I mean art. Mart Art.

Whatever. You get the idea. At this month's art feast I have provided a dozen or so normal crumbs, as well as a few salacious crumbs. The latter are not cataloged here because I am a coward. If you wish to see them you need but ask and I shall share with you my horde of lewd. When I wrote that I wrote "horse" at first and that is an entirely different category of lewd which, while popular, is not one I partake of in any capacity.

Recently a good friend of mine approached me and asked, "When am I going to stop exploding?" It's a good question. He was supposed to stop exploding quite a while ago, and yet despite my least efforts he remains caught in the moment of destruction. A skilled cartoonist can elide a lot of events in the white space between two comic panels. Even a skilled cartoonist, which I do not consider myself to be, cannot depict events between a comic panel and nothing. Another panel needs to be drawn. Until such time, my good friend will continue to explode. Doesn't seem fair to him, but on the other hand he did know what he was getting into.

As expected, February was a better month from an art production perspective if not any other conceivable metric. I don't actually know if that was expected, or why it would be expected. Despite this being a substantial bounty of drawings this is not even all of them, there's a handful that are a bit too lewd to share on this public venue, even though my definition of lewdness is not even enough to upset an online payment processor. Maybe if enough people clamor for them in the comments below I will share them...somehow.

You may have noticed, though statistically speaking you have not, that the comic is rather behind the update-every-friday schedule. Now I know it's traditional for webcomics to have a post that says "I'm working to catch up!" with no further updates at that point but I actually am trying to catch up and since the actual workload involved in drawing these comics isn't insurmountable it's fully conceivable that I can catch up and continue posting them on schedule.

This has been a bit of a better month for me, art-wise, I feel like I'm climbing out of the inexplicable spring doldrums and ready to produce more of the art I crave.

In July, I had a significant amount of time off from work, which unintuitively means I didn't draw as much. As I may have mentioned in the past I tend to do most of my drawing during my lunch break at work, so it's easy to see how fewer lunch breaks would result in less art. In addition, when I have more than a lunch break's worth of time to devote to art, I tend to put it into bigger projects which aren't so easy to share here. Hopefully more on that soon. Anyway, here is July's bounty for you to enjoy.
We've got Natasha exhibiting poor sword handling skills, Natasha beating the heat, Natasha reading a raunchy novel, Natasha and Evangeline participating in an art meme, Evangeline playing some violin, and last but not least Hitomi Kanzaki from Vision of Escaflowne, undoubtedly rushing to warn Van Fanel that he is seconds away from death.
