Happy New Year!

Hey, everyone. 2025 was... something. But we made it, and I'm thankful for everyone who supports what I create, and also those that take time to let me know how they enjoyed something I made.I love to hear how I inspire people to create their own stories, and when others share their ideas they dreamt up for my characters or the worlds I create. It's really cool to know that you can bring something positive into peoples' lives, and each day that really helps keep me going, you know?I'm sorry I suck at Patreon, lol. My world is a balance of being a parent and trying to create something better than the last thing I made as quickly as my tech and my aging brain allows me to. But this second life of mine, an author and a storyteller and professional perv, I live for this as much as I do my family. This is who I am, and I'm so happy you let me do this stuff. But I will try to get better about sharing things between my creations. I get so locked in when I'm at my desk working that I totally forget that people can't see what I'm doing, and occasionally lengths of time pass before you see my newest creation. I do admittedly need to get better about this stuff, I just get anxious because sometimes when I share an update that isn't content, I get a pretty upset response that gets to me, and I lose momentum. I'm a super fragile empathetic person IRL, lol. Not the dark queen of vengeance I'd lead you to believe, that's just my psychopath leaking out a little.I also get super self-conscious about my images and it rarely occurs to me that people actually might like my art for being art, too. Like, if I don't have something super sexy to share, I feel like it's not really worth it. And a lot of times the super sexy stuff is in spoiler territory, so I don't want to share that either... It's a real bummer, right? I've been working on this comic for a while. I scrapped almost the entire thing, too and I do that a lot. I probably should save those alt images I don't use and do something with them, maybe that'd be a neat post. (My paranoia's like "but what if they like the other version better?") But for those of you that enjoy the Detective Batson series, this next update is a pretty interesting one in the world of The Diaries of Alex Passion.

I honestly struggled with this one, because on paper it's not really an interesting part of the story. I want to showcase changes, I want to do psychological stuff, but also she's out of danger for the moment and a little time has passed. It was a bit of a challenge to make exciting, and even harder to make sexy. But I think I cracked the code here.I'm really happy with how it's turning out and I only have a little bit left to write. I made my final renders today and they came out great, the closing of the chapter feels fulfilling, and I'm really excited to share it with all of you tomorrow. I'm too tired to finish it tonight.This one will take Alex (and hopefully all of you) on a pretty fun adventure into Alex/Lexi's psyche and how her perception is changing, while she struggles to keep a grasp of who she was as the girl in the mirror is beginning to feel uncomfortably familiar.Can't wait to see what you guys think. In the meantime, I'm totally going to share a bunch of images from this chapter with absolutely no context and in no specific order. I hope you enjoy and I hope your idea isn't better than mine, because boy I'd hate to let you down with something I'm this proud of. lol.Happy new year, guys!<3 KC
