OKAY SO, I've had to put the editing of that manga I mentioned last time on hold, because I have 3 drawing commissions + driver's tests to actually finally get my license and be done with it.
One of those commissions though? I've been asked to make an actual music video for Macabre! Yeah, those guys who sing about killers and stuff.
They're coming out with a new album this fall, and their manager contacted me because he'd seen these videos I made once, set to their songs:

And well, now I'm hard at work with making a video in the same vein as those four, for one of their new songs that have yet to be released.
Obviously I can't tell you too much about it yet, but I just wanted to tell you guys (if you're still here) that I'm not totally AMA. In fact, making this video has put me back into that chibi-drawing groove, so another episode of J&T might not be too far down the road!
I'll let y'all know when the time comes for the video to be shown to the world, but meanwhile, check out Macabre's first single from their upcoming album: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fO0hH_NHAU8 (it's about Leonard Lake and Charles Ng).
Stay tuned!
It's not about the actual comic this time (bear with me some more, omg...), but I just now got around to scanning a manga I started making in like 2012 or something.
Some of you might remember me mentioning a-- hrm...well, a yaoi manga featuring the two (there's gotta be a first for everything, right?). I think I posted a really bad quality WIP photo that's in my scraps somewhere? Anyway, I never finished it, and after honestly asking myself if I ever WOULD finish it, the answer was no.
HOWEVER, I managed to draw quite a few pages and almost got to the end, and though some parts of my style then looked kinda wonky, I'm still proud of just how much detail I put into some things. Therefore, I'm now editing and touching up the pages of the manga, and I plan to maybe upload the whole thing onto my Pixiv-account, if that's okay with those of you who are interested?
The reason I'm leaning towards Pixiv is because--
1) the community doesn't really seem like they would care too much about the subject matter
and 2) you can upload several images into one post, which is much more convenient rather than having to upload the whole thing page by page.
So yeah, let me know what you think! It's not "pure" J&T, which I know some of you still want (I'll get to it), but it IS still kinda a spin-off of it? Basically, a "missing plotline" about what happened right after Ted confessed his feelings to Jeff. Anyway, yeah... I'm out, lol.
... and this wannabe Facebook type design is what I come back to?! I swear to fuck, why can't anything, just ONE fucking thing, stay the same??? I've had it with sites redesigning beyond recognition, and I've had it with my town being constructed into oblivion too...
Anyway, now that I've gotten that out of my system, here's a small update. Right now, I'm taking a gardening class that has been kicking my ass for a couple months (because, y'know, tests). The first period is over now at least, and next year, the 2nd period will only go on for 2 months before it's done!
After that, who knows? Will I go back to jumping from internship to internship or actually get a real job? Will I finally get off my ass and try to get my driver's license? Will I FINALLY feel inspired enough to finish the Jeff and Ted-comic?? I couldn't tell you, tbh.
But yeah, how about that 2019 (that's two-THOUSAND-nineteen), huh? Environmental disasters everywhere (ie. the Amazon and now Australia), my favorite actor since 12 years has died (Rutger Hauer, in case you didn't know), DVDs and other physical media are slowly being obliterated in favour of stupid-ass streaming, the children-with-cellphones-epidemic is worse than ever...
On the plus side though, Sweden didn't have an awful drought during summer like we did last year (seriously, I hate heat so much), Rammstein released a new album after 10 years(!!!), and I've actually learned to be more social than I ever thought I would be.
Anyway, I guess that wraps up what I wanted to say for now. Hope you guys are doing fine too.
