The adventures of Schwarzdog continue~

I have to say, I'm happy with how the pages have looked lately, like from page 6 of this chapter and onward, cause
those were the first ones I did after taking a break from the comic for almost one year, and they've just started looking
how I always imagined them to. I'm happy with how full they feel, and especially proud of the backgrounds. And despite
the amount of detail, pages are just a one-day endeavor still, so I've sped up a bit, plus my greyscale-paranoia has basically
evaporated at this point. So... I'm just happy with this chapter so far and the whole drawing experience.
Especially cause the reception from you guys was and always has been phenomenal, so many comments and people being
intrigued with Schwarzi+Calie just hanging out and becoming friends, it's all very wholesome and fun each time a page goes up.
Does make me glad I had that random thought back then that went like "What if I just did a random comic lol".

And yet, despite all that, I will be taking it slow this half of the year. I've talked about this in journals and stuff before, but I'm just
so, so dependant on having a good summer, mentally. The heat, the long days, and not gonna lie, also working towards having a
beach-body for that timeframe is just needed for me to recharge, like I cannot really... not have that. Now, unfortunately, my last 3
summers have been plagued, very much so. Some of what happened was, in retrospect, my own fault, some "could" have been pre-
vented, some was bad luck and some of it just unavoidable tragedies that happened.

My goal right now, other than having fun drawing comics, big woofers and some noms, is just to be healthy this summer. Cause the
last three summers I've been sick and missed my own birthday twice even xd Coupled with lots of other things that went horribly wrong,
I lost most of the hot months, and in Germany, we don't get a lot of those. Like hell, I almost choked to death twice last summer, and I'm
not gonna relive that experience.
I sound like some 80 year old boomer to all the zoomers probably, but my top priority is truly just to be healthy right now, mentally and physically.
I made the start in November already, where I lost, uh... 11 kilos and reached my desired weight right in time for christmas. (of course some christmas
food added a bit again xd nothing drastic, tho). So, the positive feedback is already there, I know I can get to where I want to be when it comes down to
being healthier, but I'm just saying, that's absolutely my main goal right now. If that loses me some followership or patreon money or whatever, I cannot
afford to care about that, but just about being alive, and not only that, but also being happily alive, which is much more important to me these days.

That being said, I'll still try to keep the pages coming, do some commissions, etc... Keeping up my schedule is one way for me to be happy and proud
of being active and productive, but burnout is also a way to ruin that real quick, so I'll allow myself days off of drawing to take care of other things first if needed.

Sorry for the long rant on a random comic page with a huge dawg. But this being the first pic for the new year just made me wanna get this all straight x3
There is no tl;dr, invest a minute, will you xd

Aaaaaaaanyway, hope you still like it

Edit: Forgot to say throughout the rant, Schwarzi ain't missing his fruit mark, he's supposed to have grown it out by now.
The floof, it is coming xd
