Kinda NSFW because butts.

I didn't think Dryad Butts counted as Legit Butts since they were made of wood and not buttflesh.

I'll edit my post.

I don't know if they count, I'm just a cautious individual.

I'd say that some grain lines would have made all the difference. As they are drawn they could well be bouncy and fleshy.

Although the thing that grosses me out in that comic is not butt related.

"Wow, boss, you were paying more attention to that than I was."

Noir-ish entrances don't carry quite as much gravitas around Kit.

Yes, I probably was.

The site is currently switching hosts (or maybe it's already switched hosts?), so The Dreadful's on hiatus till everything gets moved over. Not sure how long that'll be. I don't know nothin' about websitin'.

The forum still works though, since that's a separate operation (sorta).

The site is up again.

New page?

The next update has been in need of a few edits and I was putting them off till this weekend, since I didn't anticipate the site returning so fast.

There will be at least one update next week, possibly two depending on how things go.

Good to hear.

You are probably wondering what's up.

Why the delay?

Well, the site is still a bit buggy and isn't letting us post pages. We're working on that.

Another thing is last week, Sunday, I slipped in the backyard attending to my dog and fell. Both bones in my forearm were broke, three fractures total.

I had surgery Thursday.

All is ok, but things are a little awkward at the moment!

Oh jeez, sorry to hear that. Was it your drawing arm?

Nope.

Luckily.

However it really gets in the way of my tablet when I try to draw. I can't hold anything yet and I can't drive.

I've started physical therapy so hopefully soon I can move around more.

I'm going to TRY to do work as soon as I'm able, but I don't know how smooth it'll go.

I can still sorta draw in my sketchpad at least!

Don't do anything to risk your recovery.

Shit like this happens.

Yeah, don't hurt yourself more to keep working on the comic. Good luck with your recovery.

Once broke a bone in my wrist. It was a tiny bone, but somehow breaking it dramatically reduced my grip strength. I could barely carry a burrito. Docs told me that if it didn't heal properly, I would never get my grip back.

Well that scared the crap out of me. Canceled all my travel plans, moved in with my parents, and spent three months in a tremendously uncomfortably cast while doing little else. Good as new now!

Don't think you need to go to those extremes, but definitely make sure you get the recovery you need. It's not worth risking permanent injury just to get a little work done.

I saw on the NP forums that you're back at it. Good to know things are working out.

Thanks for the well wishes! My arm is doing much better. I wasn't able to work during May, but once I started attending physical therapy sessions I was able to salvage June.

Unfortunately I'm also in the process of moving. Possibly TWO moves depending on how things go.

It's been a hectic two months, for sure, but I've managed to get a lot of Dreadful drawn.

Speaking of The Dreadful, here's a Status Update:

Brian is currently working on a site overhaul. Whether this means a whole new site with a redesign, or just a working version of the old site, I'm not sure (I think it's the former).

The people he's hired to do it won't start on it till early August, so The Dreadful will be on hiatus for just a bit longer.

But, once it does start up again, I'll have thirteen weeks of updates. And, since I have such a huge chunk of time, I plan on working on other things.

Not just commissions, I'm also strongly considering doing a Dreadful spin-off comic and submitting it to Comixology.

I may also do a smaller comic and post it on its own site, something simple and more day-to-day story/gag wise.

I might also try to start a patreon or kickstarter to raise some money to keep The Dreadful going without the need of me having to find an external source of income (so I can keep making pages without having to interrupt it).

That's all for now! See ya around!

Looking forward to it!

Best of luck!

Status Update:

There's been a lot of stuff happening with me ever since I broke my arm, but it's all settled now (at least I hope it is). It's been a long month and a half of sleeping on couches and air-mattresses.

I'm not sure what will happen to The Dreadful though. I mean, I wanna keep going with it and I have a lot of pages done but I don't know where to post them.

I was told we would be getting a new site in August but I haven't heard from Brian since June, so as far as I know its days at Nuklearpower could be over.

I'm gonna ask around, but if that's the case then I'll see about getting the comic its own website. I'll need to get some money together so I can pay someone to build one for me.

Pretty soon I'll open up for commissions if anyone is interested.

Or I can set up a patreon or do a kickstarter to raise money for a site. We'll see. This is the first day I've had my computer on and connected to the internet in a month and a half...

As an aside: I've become really keen on the idea of doing a Dreadful novel so I may be working on that soon. If I do decide to work on a novel, I will post samples of it online so y'all can read it and tell me what you think!

Man, that sucks. Here's hoping for the best. What happened with Nuklear Power, exactly?
