It didn't take me a month :P
I did the first Bleach comic in a week. The second one took about a week and maybe a day. I was busy throughout because I was doing commissions and was doing work with my boss mostly on the weekends, but some during the week as well. Comics used to take me that long, but with my Cintiq, that has all changed big time
When I say a week though, I don't mean a casual week lol. I'm usually working the full day, from the time I wake up to when I go to sleep...not that I'm not doing that anyway (~_~); When I got bills to pay, I become a very motivated artist :P Even if it means working 15 hours a day non-stop lol.
By the way, some good news! I might be working at a video game company soon! YAY! It starts as an internship at first (~_~) but goes on to being a real job. I'll still continue doing my comics, since all seemed to go well with the Bleach comic...I'll just be staying away from Pokemon for a bit unfortunately (those pirates are nuts!). Also, my husband finally found work (what a relief

!) and he'll be starting on Monday, he just finished his training

huzzah! There is a light at the end of the tunnel
