Preface
Ending my lazy month with comic work, April I am releasing Issue 6 of Freedom Planet Resurgence, starting with the cover I just finished tonight. More on that and other stuff in this journal!

General News & Events
Current College Workload
The workload has increased for sure now. Multiple projects are coming out of the wood works for majority of my classes, and I'm going to have to set some time to complete all of them. Drawing will be put to a minimum, but if there is time, I'll spend it drawing if I'm not too tired from course work.

Spring Semester nearing it's End
April is often considered the near end of the semester month for spring semesters, at least for me. My last day of classes is May 19th, but it gets a bit complicated, as I'll explain in the next segment below this one. Unlike November where we have Thanksgiving break to help us get through the last few weeks, but April doesn't have that at all. Its a full on 4-5 week, 5 days of school, no breaks. I have Easter, but no monday off afterwards, might just skip class that day though. In either case, it'll be some time before I'm able to go home and work without worry of classes. But, that won't really last all that long, see next subject below.

Summer Class/Working for more Money
As the title says, yes, I am taking a summer course this year, my first one actually... Why? Because with it, I can literally get myself to graduation quicker, I estimate I can graduate at Fall 2018 if I work hard enough, take 5 courses per semester, and take this summer course. Otherwise, I'd be stuck there for another semester... Good news is this summer course isn't long, just time consuming. June will be used up entirely for the course, but I'll still have July and August. But, as these last two semester have shown me, money goes away quickly... and what I had in my bank account was gone within just these two semesters. I'd rather not eat any student loans yet, or at least reduce how much I will need to take in the future, so I'll need to work up some more money, meaning a summer job again.
    This, and the summer course, will take a bit of time to handle, so work on comics might be strictly reduced to script working or sketching... If I even have time for that. If I don't, I'll likely find a way.

Comic News

Sonic the Hedgehog Z
Currently on a hiatus until FPR is completely done and Project Adventure has begun. Likely some other content related to Sonic Z might pop up once and while, MUP profiles likely to show up.

Freedom Planet Resurgence Comic Scripts
As I suspected, I would fail in trying to get this script out in March, too little time, too many issues. April is a fresh start, and with the comic cover done, I'll work on getting the scenes and going over the script a few more times to ensure quality, of course it will never be perfect. I hope to release the full issue by this Saturday, if not, the following week at some point.

Project Adventure
Project needs more time, likely a summer thing for sure now.

The Wrap Up
March was wasted time, Andromeda and my long break from drawing was fun, I feel more determined to keep at it. FPR will be finished this year.

Highlights
-Workload has increased, more projects = less time for art/scripts
-Spring semester nearing end, summer on the horizon
-Summer class and summer work during break will hinder comic production significantly later
-FPR Issue 6 cover released, full script will be released later this week or next week

Be sure to follow me on Twitter for updates on the comic and any other updates regarding my well being. Trust me, I'm not tweeting everyday like some people do, I typically use it just for updates on the comics: twitter.com/CCI545

Just a question about Sonic Z:

Since Sonic's friends will be training, what techniques will they learn? And more importantly, being a fan of them, will Cream and Cheese actually get to train, too? If so, what techniques would they learn?
