I'm expecting a big tax return, but it might take another 20 days to arrive. In the meantime, we're so short on funds that we have to choose between diapers and food. I do owe a couple commissions already- don't worry AlexX, I'm about to get started on your pic! - but I have a fun idea for some spe…
Whoops, I forgot to announce this anywhere but on the Katbox! X_X The first place winner of the character contest is Aria, created by Radagast. Second place was taken by Alex, created by MrAMP. All the entries can be found in my dropbox! https://www.dropbox.com/sh/oblsj5epuh9tnq2/AACYMqAIzbssSmCnSm…
It seems Patreon is running it's billing cycle a bit late this month. I don't know how late it's going to be, but I'm running out of time to get funds for keeping my son in daycare. Since it takes 3-5 business days to transfer funds from PayPal to my bank account, and his tuition is due on the 10th…

https://picarto.tv/live/channel.php?watch=NixieSeal It seems I have some spare time, so anybody wanna watch me stream some arts?

EDIT: A very generous and awesome person has donated the amount I need to replace the tablet, so I don't need to take any more commissions. So yeah. My tablet is broken. I'll be getting a replacement ASAP. Unfortunately, I wasn't done making this week's comic, so that'll be late. Sorry!
I'm feeling a little bored, so I'm starting up a contest! Your goal: design a crew member for the P.S.S. Bubbles from Anthronauts! HOW TO ENTER Step one: design a character that could work as a crew member on the P.S.S. Bubbles. They can have any crew position except Captain, whether it's a standar…

I wrote this as a response to someone who complained that their digitally inked pictures looked too much like a coloring book. Then I realized, maybe it could help other people who have the same issue. This is a comparison of various digital art programs, when you're just concerned about INKING. I'…
I'm trying to get back onto a regular schedule for making artwork, but it's difficult for me to keep deadlines. I'm not all the way done unpacking from moving and the house is a mess. Also... I'm pregnant and because of that I feel sick about 60% of the time. And of course, I still have a toddler t…
I know it's been a couple weeks since I released anything. Well, that's what happens when you move and have a bunch of appointments to make. If you're curious what my art and commission queue looks like- some of you may have sketches or cameos owed to you through Patreon- you can see what I'm worki…
Well, this is it. Time to unplug my computer and pack it up to move. I might end up having to wait a couple weeks before connecting the internet at my new place. I don't have a laptop, so I can't go connect using some free wifi somewhere, so my comics and owed sketches are on hold until I can get b…
Thank you guys so much for your support! I wasn't expecting to reach both milestone goals so quickly. So, I came up with another milestone goal: an "Ask Captain Cheng" sketch blog! When I reach $125 pledged per page, I will create a sketch blog on Tumblr and update it at least 3 times a month. I've…
Hallo, readers of Anthronauts! I have two bits of news that may be relevant to your interests! First of all, if you're a fan of Anthronauts, could you please (pretty please) become a patron through Patreon? http://www.patreon.com/nixieseal Here's how it works: you pledge to donate a set amount per…
The Katbox welcomes two new additions, UberQuest & Our World! Check out the news post here: http://forums.katbox.net/threads/the-katbox-bolsters-its-ranks-once-again.8979/
Hello everyone! I will just like to announce that Katbox.net now has an official twitter account for updates and site news that you can follow. https://twitter.com/Katbox_Comics "Welcome to the Katbox's new Twitter account! Follow here for news and updates!" The account is still new and in need of…
I'm not sure I can keep doing Anthronauts. I just took an entire month-long hiatus to try and get the house clean, and get a backlog of comics and finish commissions. I wasn't able to finish a single comic page or commission and the house is still a mess. It turns out that my kid, who is turning 1.…
I don't accept friend requests from strangers or people I haven't talked to much. Sorry, that's my policy.
My last journal entry was a notice that I was leaving. Well... I'm back. I noticed that after this last few days, there's been a mass exodus from FA to Weasyl. I made myself an account here a long time ago but found myself not using Weasyl because I was daunted by the task of uploading my old work.…
So, I don't really use Weasyl. Ever. I thought I would when I signed up, but it's not happening. See, I had wanted to upload all my old work here before I started posting my new art. Then I found out I had 520 drawings, 465 pages of comics, and 147 chapters of stories. And pretty much everyone I fo…
Presenting a new Katbox comic series by Nixie... drumroll... Fungus Farm! SAFE Farm, a space colony designed to produce food, is beset upon by a dangerous alien fungus. The farm workers- Chess, Dice, and many others- all have different ideas of how to deal with the problem. And that is where YOU co…
Wondering why I haven't posted anything yet? Simple, I needed to format all the stuff I intend to post and gather it all up. Aaaaaand it seems I have 324 things to post. 117 pages of comics, 48 Katbox Kares chibies, 39 Anthronauts promo images, and the rest is all art. So yeah, better make yourselv…
