Hey guys, just a heads up: the comic may be experiencing some slowdown and erratic updates for the next couple months. Here are the reasons:

• I have finally decided to get help with my crippling anxiety issues and have started anti-anxiety medication. While it should help in the long-run it is currently wreaking havoc on my body while I adjust to it, causing nausea, tremors, headaches, blurred vision, etc. This is making it very difficult to stay focused and draw.

• We are heading into the busy season at my current place of employment and have been cleared for overtime, which means I will be working more hours and have less hours in the week to devote to the comic.

• My husband and I are gearing up to move across the country at the beginning of October, which means September will be largely devoted to figuring out how exactly to move and packing and all that fun crap that I have no idea how to do. This is also why I am trying to soak up as many overtime hours as possible, in order to help ease the blow that moving will surely do to our bank account.

• My home internet continues to be a big fat jerk and posting promptly may be out of the question and rely more on “when can I sneak to the library and do all my internet work” rather than “It is midnight that means it’s time to post a comic.”

So as you can see, life is starting to conspire against me in several different ways. I will still be working on the comic and posting as much as possible, but if I miss an update here or there I hope you all can understand. If you currently only check on the comic every Tuesday for updates, you can always subscribe to my RSS feed, follow me on Twitter or Tumblr, or watch me on deviantART, as those will update whenever there is a new comic page.

I also have two more sketch commissions due (sorry they are taking so long guys, and thank you both so much for your patience!), and I will probably not be opening up the queue until after I move. I would like to get another medallion in production, but that will also depend on how busy my life gets soon. I am also working on a new website for y’all, but again, when that will be implemented is up in the air. So as you can see I am still working very hard on Skin Deep, but I will have to split my attention onto other things for a little bit in order to keep my life moving in the right direction!

So, to recap: Skin Deep will still be updated as often as possible, but it may not go up like clockwork every Tuesday like it has for the last several years. Hopefully things will go back to normal in a couple of months, and I hope everybody understands! Thank you so much for reading and supporting the comic for this long, everybody, and hopefully with this move that will mean bigger and better things for Skin Deep in the future! But for the meantime, things might get a little shaky. Don’t worry! I’ll never flat out stop doing Skin Deep. I don’t think I know how to stop doing Skin Deep!

If you have any questions or comments, don’t be afraid to ask!
