Bonus art – Dance Lesson
No new pages yet, but to mark the day, I’m posting this in-progress piece of a certain Orc and a certain Gnome sharing a dance <3
This will be finished with simple color in the style of the comic pages eventually. And hopefully I’ll have something more to post soon. Thanks, as always, for reading.
On reality and updates
ANNOUNCEMENT: For personal reasons, I will be switching back to a random update schedule until further notice.
I wish this were avoidable, but I’m going through a difficult time right now and I need to focus on getting certain parts of my life in order before I can give this comic the attention it deserves.
I also need to catch up on donation commissions, as I advertised a few weeks ago. In the meantime, I will still be posting information and bonus sketches and such when I can, but not on any planned schedule.
Hopefully this period of minor chaos won’t last too long. Thank you for your patience in the meantime. If you want any further information, please contact me here or via the Tock the Gnome Facebook page. And if you’re interested, I am still accepting donations with repayment (from me) in art, so please click the link in the above paragraph if you’re curious about that.
So yes, I’ll post what I can when I can, and plan on another announcement as soon as I’m sure I can be back to regular updates. Thanks, always, for reading.
This is just a …
This is just a quick “thank you” to the new readers that I’ve gained recently, and of course, to everyone who’s been with me from earlier on. I am grateful for each and every one of you 
Also, side note: Monday’s update will be a sketch since I have commissions to work on this week and I’ll be out of town for the weekend, but page 40 should be up the Monday after that (the 29th).
So again, thanks! You all are fantastic.
An Update on Computer Issues
Seeing as I haven’t posted much of anything since March 26th – when I announced I was having computer issues - I figured a bit of an explanation is in order.
As of last week, the guy I took my computer to had pretty much given up on getting it fixed. Instead, he wanted to get the computer back to me so I’d at least be able to hook up an external monitor and use it that way. However, to add insult to injury, he had a power outage while my computer was plugged in, which corrupted Windows.
As of last night, he was working on moving all of my files over to another hard drive, to then reinstall Windows and transfer them back. I asked him to let me know as soon as he’s done fixing that (since it was HIS fault), and then I’ll hopefully be picking it up, still broken as it is, by the end of this week.
At that point, I will be taking it ELSEWHERE to be fixed for real.
Thanks to everyone for your patience in this, especially since this happened right after I came back from hiatus and has prevented updates AGAIN. We’ll be back to regularly scheduled updates – including the next page, which is already done – the moment I get my computer back and can get things scanned.
