There’s no getting around it. I fell off the horse and it’s hard getting back on. This page was worked on gradually over the course of nearly a year and there’s nothing special about it.
It’s true that having kids took away a lot of my free time. But what really happened is my routine changed and it was hard to repair it enough to work on my comic. And when I found time to work on it, I was slow and less focused and less motivated.
Still, I’m so close to finishing the comic that I’m pressing forward. The problem isn’t fixed. I still need to get back on that horse and get back up to speed. Hopefully I can figure that out. I’m sorry it’s been such a long gap. I’ll keep trying.
I salute you.
Woohoo! Good to see you get into the groove again.
And good to see a new comic, of course. 🙂
Go at the pace you can and don’t stress yourself out. As readers we are just happy to have this story continue. 🙂
Motivation is tough! Do it for you, but know that your work is appreciated, it’s nice to see an update <3
The really hard bit is getting it back to be a routine, to do anything. Maybe just post sketches for a bit, or WIP, something small as often as you can?
It’s all completely understandable, Hawk. That’s just how life goes sometimes (boy that sounds trite, sorry!). But thank you for sharing the new comic! And I hope you’re getting to enjoy some time with your kids, that’s what’s really important.
I’ve been following the comic forever now. And I don’t plan on quitting now that it is so close to the end. I don’t care how long it takes. Take your time, Hawk. You deserve it!
Hawk it’s really good to finally see you return after all this time and I truly am sorry for all the struggles you’ve been thru with your family 🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺, I hope you’re gonna be ok .
By finish the comic , does this mean you won’t make anything else after this comic is finished?
Can someone answer that question please so I can understand please?
Aaaaw yeah, hawk delivers. Great page,my dude
So can someone answer my questions please about the future of Cultureshock?
I’m kinda cofndied and I wanna have hope that after this comic ends , there’ll be more to come 🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺
Confused not cofndied
When I finish the comic, I definitely don’t plan to disappear. But I’ll probably be more focused on creating games than on creating comics. Still, you may be able to see my work in some new other areas. I’ve been helping a few different friends with their own comic projects (at least as much as I can, anyway). I’ll be sure to provide links to them when it’s a good time.
Take it from a mama whose life has been almost chaos incarnate: be kind to yourself. Work when you’re mentally able and have the time for it, and forgive yourself when everything doesn’t work out. We’ll still be here waiting. 🙂
If I could give two big thumbs up on @Ashe Skyler’s post, I would!
Hawk, thats really good to hear ^^at least a little . I did have ideas for Sally if youre still gonna do more art and comics . Would you wanna hear about it at least?
Hawk also , are you gonna fix the characters artwork gallery on the characters cast page of this page?
I always love to hear about ideas people have… for Sally or anything else.
Fixing the gallery might be a challenge. It involves installing new software to manage all the artwork, which I’ve done before. But a while back my website was hacked, and my art gallery software might have been a way that it happened. Since then, I’ve been really careful about what I install onto the website. If I find some good gallery software that is simple and free, I might put a gallery up again.
Hawk well then , i was wondering id youd do a series of either Sally in modern times or set in the wild west followinng her adventures . Itd be really great to see more following her whether in the past or present .
Which timezone would you prefere with her if you didna series focused on her?
Im really sorry its been such a problem for you , being careful online can be such a challenge 😞😞😞😞.
Ihope you can figure it out someday. Possible idea, what about using deviantart as a spot for it ? Didnt you have or still an account on Deviantart ? Maybe consider bluesky or instagram as well?
Hawk , hope you see this message and respond back soon
Hawk after that chapter bit showing Sally’s past and how she ended up in the modern age, it’d be really good 👍 to see more of her depending on where she ends up in the end. She’s definitely one of my fav characters of your work and it’d be good to see another story with the main cast or just her as the main lead in a new story ^^. Maybe in a fanfictional story if you wanted to think it over perhaps .
What do you think about that sorta stuff? ^^
Hawk, as you have seen from my commentary as I caught up to current, I have enjoyed your comic a great deal. Thank you for sharing. As all of your long time fans have pointed out, family first, comic somewhere at a manageable 4 or 5. Thank you for all the great art, laughs and fun discovering this world you have created. I look forward to seeing how it ends as you are able to.
