Toph Heavy Part 3 - Chapter 3 - Page 9 (Patreon)

I want to explain why this is a week late. I'm probably going to regret talking about this. I know that its largely inappropriate; a thing no one wants to hear an artist talk about. But I just need to get this off my chest. Over the past year the amount this Patreon makes has gone down dramatically. January of 2024 is half of what January 2023 made. Now, my response to this is not to beg for more patrons but to refocus.  "I need to do better and justify a patron being a patron." is what I say to myself. Unfortunately, what this usually means is overworking a page because subconsciously I think that if it's the best page ever then I'll have earned that support. So that's why, despite having the lion share of the lighting done a week ago. I kept redoing and redoing and redoing.

I really like this page. I especially like the first panel. So I wanted it to be perfect. Hence the wait.
