So since about January i've been a little worried about my work and my trajectory for the year. I think that's the natural state of most artists to be fair, but hear me out. It's not fast enough of course, I know that. I'm trying my best to address it and think there have been some successes, but the road is long.

Partially related to this though, I do have a question for you all. The comic. Rodarc.

Do you actually like it, or is it something you just sort of humour me with until the good stuff comes? I could probably gut the story and get to the good stuff in a series of single pages instead.

Or perhaps you would prefer it if i opened for more commissions each month? Either way I keep looking at this comic and feel hugely unsatisfied with it. I'm not sure what to do. I might need to go back to the drawing board with it for a little while.

I never usually ask about these kinds of things so i'm probing the water.
If you would rather i didn't continue with my comic, what other stuff would you like to see? Either answer is totally fine by me. Don't worry.

Feel free to comment your thoughts. There is no wrong answer or bad take, and i wanna know it all.

Commenting cos none of the options really reflect my thoughts. I like the comic, but ultimately it's up to your own feelings on the matter. If you're enjoying working on it, go for it! But if you feel a bit tired from it, I'd say take a break and work on things that feel more like what you want to work on

i just feel an intense pressure with regards to it. I cannot quite explain it. I feel like i mistepped releasing the new page as is. i think it needs worked on some more. Fixes applied, and a faster, more appropriate style chosen. I do like my little tale, but i'm having a moment of doubt lmao. Thanks for listening though Nov, my brain is very much just running at 600% today.

Novra just said what I think too. Income is important, but your drawing quality, speed and personal happiness are all dependent on if you like what you're doing. I absolutely love how stunning your comic looks. And the kinky aspect just gets even better if you build up towards it. Yet I wouldn't mind if you worked on it however you felt like. Some months more, some months less. It sounds very cliché to say, but please do what you personally want to do. Dont tie yourself to self set patreon rewards too much. I've seen a bunch of good people and friends stagnate or even lose their passion because of all that.

You know, that may be what it is. I'm deathly scared to let everyone down. After all, this is my business, but it's also my passion. I totally understand how some people who try to make a living off their passion can end up a little dispassionate about it in the end. I want to try to avoid that, and maybe it's a break that is needed. A return to the drawing board, and to make sure that i'm super happy going forward. Afterall, I can't very well leave Otayen missing now, that would just be the worst!!!

As patrons, we're here to support you. I enjoy Rodarc, quite a bit, for both the story and the kink.

But I don't want you to feel like your forced to do it, or to focus on commissions.

While it is the comic that drew me in “HAH! Drew me in”. You have to do what makes YOU happy. “Find a job u love, and you’ll never work another day in your life”. Maybe cultivate two styles of art? Speed for commissions and refined for the comic? Or flipped ? You have to do what u need to make ends meet and bring joy to your life ,bud . :). We will suport your decision and be there for u (gets in a bone liquefying hug and flexes)

hah you're daft! I'd like there to be no difference between the quality of my comms and my personal work, and of course if someone is paying me for a comm i'm going to be giving it my all anyway. I feel like the new page was a false start. I've been having several doubts about it, but i am surprised to see the sheer number of people who have been supportive regarding the comic, so yeah. I think i'll pull the current upload, and rework the entire thing. And thanks for saying so trem! :D
