Dear Janolytes,
Shout to sleep because niggas be tired as fuck until they actual get quality sleep for more than 2 hours. I’m ready to escape the trenches of cotton field 12.
I am, absolutely.
Last night I woke up refreshed watched Expanse and Sailor moon. Worked on another project (details coming soon). Had an existential flashback about the last decade.Played Batman Arkham Knight.
Yes, the game that released a decade ago. Am I late? Absolutely. My toxic trait is that when I was working on my comic book I barely enjoyed anything else thinking I should have been working on my book.
No, I’m serious. I have a whole back log to beat before I even think about purchasing a PS5…and a Nintendo Switch. That has been a debatable purchase as well.
Anyway.
Its time for the debut of Level 7 of Azure Ascendance. New to y’all, def not to me.
I started the coloring process in um July 2019 while still in the trenches of cotton field 10. That time frame was alot between concerts, super slave period and me having to drive back and forth to rock hill.
UGH.
Then came March 2020 and Covid. The disease that had us all fucked up.
ABSOLUTELY.
To the point where places shut down, niggas were shook if they heard someone cough, and the fatalities rose on a daily basis. Cotton field 10 told us that they weren’t going to hold it against us if we didn’t show up……
….so i stopped. As a nigga who was already allergic to the job (literally i wore a mask before it was in fashion. Which barely negated the effects), wasn’t getting paid enough for the daily fuckery, and did not want to work 12 hour shifts you god damn right I left.
Fuck all that other shit.
Peace had knocked on my door and I answered, as well as chance to work on my art like it was 2016. I colored all night, watched TV during the day (JoJo’s Bizarre adventure, Samurai Champloo, Fire Force, Community, High Fidelity, The Mandalorian and a few other things that I can not remember at the moment), Played Spider Man and hacked PSP.
AWICH WAS IN ROTATION!!!! BLESS HER!!!
Shout out to COVID for helping me escape the desolate land. Sucks that raggedy cotton field 10 wouldn’t let me have NONE of those unemployment checks.
Raggedy Bitches.
But I was free and def took advantage of the 6 months of me not working.
The 1st week of this 6 month rest period is when I finished Issue 7, which was literally the last 5 pages.
SMH at how long it took me to work on this issue.
Anyway synopsis time because that is important.
The tension between Sapphire and the other Faunroids become beyond palpable as they act on their machinations to use Ikari as a bargaining chip to take to the Kera Clan. Meanwhile CoCo has to come to peace with horrible truth regarding her parents relationship with her brother. As Boumei watches that family won’t stop betrayal. Azure’s short lived peace is coming to an end as new waves of conflict slowly begin to swallow everyone again.
Yep a new battle is arsing slowly. I continued the trend of choosing violence for act 2.
As usual there is a preview page, and of course here is where you can find the issue for purchase.
Thats it for now Janolytes. Happy Juneteenth.
Fuck that Slavery shit nigga.
