Just wanted to stop by and thank all of you so much for the birthday wishes and messages and gifts. They really brightened my day and I really needed it. It's not too pleasant being stuck in work on a sunny day, especially when it is one's birthday. I want an adventure. Now the weather is starting to get good I have a whole bunch of plans for the weekends, but must get Moff and Flickerlee finished too (on top of everything else) Hopefully good things will come from it.

I've been really rubbish on dA recently and it's taken me so long to get back to peoples notes and comment on art and stuff. I'm so so sorry and I'm trying to put aside the time to thank you and comment as much as I can. Real life! Just be assured I keep an eye out on all your lovely art and writing and it always makes me so happy and excited. I just wish I was better at finding the time to reply straight away.

Here are some of my lovely giftie arts! They make me so happy!! I'll try and thank everyone as soon as I can properly!!

People please, could I kindly ask that if you want to re-blog my Moth and Flame comic on other sites like Facebook and Imgur, PLEASE don't post it with the April Fools page. That page isn't Moth and the Flame 17. It's called "Got Ya!". Without the explanation of what that page is it will create a lot of confusion to new readers and they won't know the story isn't over. I would really have appreciated if posters came to me first to ask permission, just so I could have got this point across.

I really love that you want to share my work, but please respect the flow of the story. I updated and re-submitted the April fools page with a new title and explanation 12 hours after I first posted it and wrote a journal entry about the joke to clear up any confusion, and blogging that page as part of the story is creating a bit of a mess on other websites, without that context.

I'll have Page 17 up by the end of the weekend

Thank you

Jen

First I just want to clear up that this Moff and Flickerlee page was an April Fools.
Changing the title, updating it and writing about how it was a April fools slipped past some people XD So just wanted to let you know there are more pages to come. I can't wait to tell you the rest of their story but I've been hindered by real life, again XD

I've been working overtime and from home in a mad rush to get my workload off my back before my holiday to Berlin tomorrow. I'm failing to stay awake. I've never been so tired and I know walking around Berlin isn't the Best remedy for fatigue, but I'm sure the excitement is going to spur me on! If anyone can recommend any places to visit I'd love to hear about them. I've always wanted to explore more of Germany only having passed though it once on my way to Venice. and that was absolutely years ago when I was still a nipper, so it's going to be great to finally get over there. I've forgotten all my GCSE German so thats going to be interesting.

I'm really looking forward to it!

Hope you all had a great Easter weekend and I'll be back soon with more comics.

Hello! I'm back. You may have already come to that conclusion when I posted page 13 of Moff and Flame on friday and subsequently stabbed a majority of you in the feels and bathed in your tears and sobs of "NUUUUUUUUUUU!!" and "WHHY!!?" and (my favourite) "YOU F**K!".
For that I hollowly apologise, because, like the nature of the comic, the pain was unavoidable, but there is still more to come. I'm still in the process of torturing myself, my characters and most of you. There were a few comments where people assumed this was the last page in the story and I just want to assure you it's not, don't worry, I'll let you know with a big THE END at the end of it. Sorry in advance, but thank you all for for your comments and your emotions and numerous icons of crying. They make this worthwhile.  

I had a lovely time in the Pyrenees last week! I've been so busy since I've been back though, but the good type of busy. Hopefully if all goes well I'll have another page to you by this evening. But now I'm in need of a muscle relaxing bath (hiking around Bristol yesterday gone done my hip in) and a tidy up.

Oh dear, things didn't go according to plan today. I was supposed to get one more page done before my holiday, but I had some emergency stuff to do in work as I'm away next week, so sacrificed my day off and a page of Moff and Flickerlee. Hope it pays off. Pitching an exciting new project at the moment and it's certainly cheered me up after a very unhappy week. But now it is time for holidays and snowball fights and hiking and Skiing!
I've had quite a busy evening of packing and sorting out insurance and double checking my bag is the right dimensions for carry on luggage. Why is travel so stressful sometimes? Both excited and scared about the Skiing, never done it before. I think I'm gonna become a human snowball at some point. Hehe! I think I'm most excited about the walking and the scenery of the Pyrenees! I always always wanted to see it and now it's finally happening!! Hooray!

Anyway. I'll be gone for a while but there should be a new page by next weekend. Hope you all have a lovely week!

Jen

I'm very excited. and I will be off the the Pyrenees this weekend (mountains! yay!!) for a well needed adventure and rest. Looking forward to the hiking and the skiiing. I've always wanted to go to the Pyrenees so this is going to be very special with friends. ^__^

I hope to get one more page of Moff and Flickerlee to you on friday before I go. It's getting pretty heavy now and I really appreciate all your encouragement and tears. It makes it all worth while...

Also I squeed quite a lot to see what animated...

Thank you again for your kindness.

That I'm not answering messages or notes at the moment. I'm being rather antisocial online as I'm cracking on trying to get a heavy workload of comics and commissions completed. Real life getting on my case an all that jazz XD

Thanks for understanding.

Moth and flame will update this weekend.

I wanted to know how to make a lightbulb terrarium for my succulents and came across this guy. He's so awesome.

I will be doing this.


Also Moff and Flickerlee art

Will be up on my twitter in a few hours

You can follow me to be up to date @StressedJenny [link]

Gotta get busy. So many things to finish this weekend. All play and no work makes Jenny stressed... eventually. Not at the time. I love play. Grr for consequences!!

...and the rest of the comic will be released on my twitter first. Hooray! You can be the first to see them on twitter! Come and follow me here!!: [link] @StressedJenny.

Hope to see you there and thank you!!

Look at me being all computer-ee.

Well it's still January, but I'm well into one comic at least and that's more than I could have hoped for this year. I hope I can be this productive all year *fingers crossed*. I just really wanted to thank you all for your comments and support for the Moff and Flickerlee comic so far. I always love reading your feedback, and the emotional investment in it is the drive I need to keep going with this comic and other stories I have planned. I hope I can juggle them all! A massive thank you too, to ^JCROXAS for the DD! That was really kind! Thank you all
Eeehehe, had to post these too... So cute!




Also, while I'm here I just wanted to post this animation from mon amigo . It was so fun to see this unfold. All of us in the house provided voice acting, Mikey (Wolf) also did the sound and Luke (Ostrich) made it all move beautifully. Just wanted to share his hard work with you after watching the whole process happen. ^__^

I just want to reassure that commissions are still being worked on. Progress is slower than usual because of multiple jobs to do through the week, including comics and web design. Its been a busy new year already, with Lots on the go right now. I'm sorry to everyone who is still waiting for theirs, but I want to do the best job I can on them and don't want to rush. But I havn't forgotten you.

Um... my journals are boring as of late. Need filler....

How about me getting scared by a kitten? [link]
That'll do.

This is starting off well. I've started drawing Oula at last. ^__^ Hope to finish it within the first quarter, but juggling it with the last of my commissions now.

Because a lot of people are asking, commissions are closed now until I get a majority of the comic out of the way and finish the last of them, but if I do open them again I'll be sure to give all of you who are interested fair warning. I really would like to do more, but time is precious right now.

I also went to see Phantom of the Opera last night too. Very enjoyable. The set design was fantastic. And the dresses, I wants!

Hope you all are having a good new year so far.

Have an amazing holiday everyone. I've just finished tying bows and ribbons to my brother's £20 note (he likes that) and now I'm off to stay with the family and wait for the celebrations to begin.
Thank you to everyone who left lovely presents and christmas wishes. Wishing you all the best for this year and the new one. See you in a few days!

How is everyone? All set for christmas next week? I've done most of my shopping now... I think... I hope... oh god... did I buy something for that person? Would they like what I bought? Perhaps I should get them two presents? etc, etc, you know it's that time of the year.

Ah well, I have to put that stress aside to get all my work finished this week, and it's going really well! I even did some voice recording for my mate's animated commercial. Hehe, thats going to be fun to see... and look at this commission list! It's almost finished!! What an awesome batch. Now I best get back to work... or the Krampus will get me and I won't have time to do a christmas comic...

*dons schooper gheeky voiche* Wow, it's so cool when stuff like this happens.

So I'm listening to a fantastic podcast called The History of England by David Crowther, which talks about said history from the Anglo Saxons and all the way through to the Royal dynasties. I implore you to have a listen to it if you can its absolutely fascinating to listen to when working. I'm listening to it through itunes but I'm sure he'll have links on his website, which is full of insightful references to what he talks about in the show, you can check it out here: [link]
This guy is brilliant!!

Anyway, I was listening to an episode about the relationship between Henry II and Thomas Becket,The Archbishop of Canterbury who was Canonised after being murdered at his altar after a misunderstanding in which four Knights mistook the King's meaning when he mentioned he wished he could be rid of him. And after what Mr. Crowther enlightened me to, I don't blame him. He was a bit of a pain in the Royal ass...

Anyway I'll get to the point. I was recommended I watch the film version of their relationship "Becket" starring Peter O' Toole and Richard Burton, and I thought to myself. "Darn, I don't think I'll ever get around to that"... and then I go to BBCiplayer to watch some soaps and there I find the film!!! Fantastic!! So thats what I'm watching. Excellent.

If you have access to iplayer you can watch it here [link]

Yay! Now you all know what a complete history dork I am...


Also!
My gorgeous commission from

My talented friend Sarah is submitting her Dala horses design into the Pedlars Product of the Month competition.
The winning design will be made into a mug, and from the sale of each mug £1 will go to a charity of the designer's choice which she intends to donate to St David's Hospice Care if she wins. I really like her design and if you could help her by voting, that would be so great!

You can vote just by clicking here:

There's only a few hours left to vote

Thank you! And thanks for your concern with me being ill, still sniffly but over the hump ^__^

And that makes it all better. I've waited so long for this film! I hope I experience the same feelings I did when I first saw the Lord Of The Rings all those years ago. Hopefully by next thursday I'll be able to breath normally. Blocked noses and sore throats make me want to cry.

Anyone else excited about the Hobbit?

Man does it feel good to shed that stress!

, only joking. I'm still stressed, but staying off the net isn't making me healthier and nor is this giant box of jelly babies on my desk, so what the heck. I'm gonna be updating again and stressing out about Christmas, balancing other people's differences (not appreciated) and embrace the universe's keen interest of shitting on me this year. I'd change my name to PessamisticJenny, but it really doesn't have the same ring as StressedJenny, so I'll make do, because there is no easy solution and making do has really been the only thing that has kept me going this far, (says FalseOptimismJenny).

So while I was gone I had a great weekend of healing and therapy, provided by watching LAU, hanging in Bristol and Oxford and travelling around a bit. My friends have been invaluable, so to everyone who's helped me over the last two weeks and sent me flowers and cards and bought me tickets to concerts and hung and chatted, thank you. Love you (SaysDeeplySincereJenny).
But, to quote Jason Mraz, at the end of the day, we still need to do out fucking laundry. I've done my laundry, so I can focus on commissions again. ^__^ Going to try and get all these done by Christmas! Wish me luck!
