Update! (Patreon)

You may have noticed updates have been a little dry the past two weeks. First of all, I want to apologize, because I've already established a pace and standard of quality for released pages of the current comic, and recent weeks have been unsatisfactory to both myself and many of you. I've been under some considerable stress the past month and was sick for a portion of last week, but it's really no excuse on the whole. I'm already making efforts to change my schedule and availability in order to maintain the consistent output you expect from me. Page 7 of Mystic Tantra is already sketched, and I'll be working on it over the weekend with a personal goal of bringing a page per week as a minimum.
On a lighter note, there are some exciting things I'd like to share and hint at.
My experiments in 3D modeling and rendering are approaching what I think is a potential emergence of quality animation that meets or exceeds my own personal expectations. I'm no stranger to animation or 3D modeling, but animating complex rigs in 3D and using the tools I've grown accustomed to for that purpose to may or may not have matured to an acceptable level of polish. Time and further tests will show if I'm up to the task, but I'm confident and hopeful.
I've also put together a new workstation PC that is acting as my art rig, 3D rendering slave, and all around workhorse. I couldn't be happier with how well it performs. Streaming should also see noticeable improvements in quality, and many of the headaches I experienced with wacom drivers and photoshop misbehaving on the mac platform seem to be ironed out in windows.
Thank you, all of you, for your wonderful support and patience! I'm so close to my goal of taking art full time, and I know I would never have gotten so far in my dream of doing art for a living without your help. I look forward to the future and what great things are on the horizon.
