Quick Update (Patreon)
Content
Hi everyone!
Now that the dust has settled, I wanted to get everyone up to date on what I've been up to and the future of some of my projects. Art has been kinda light for a few reasons, one being an out of town trip the other week, and the other being work on the art site. (more on that later in the post)
Patreon
Patreon this last month has asked me to remove a few of my drawings, as well as edit at least one of them. These are decisions I don't agree with, but I have no say in the matter according to them. This isn't the first time they've done this, but it's accelerated my plans moving forward to host my own art outside of here and get as many people to switch over to SubscribeStar as are able. As a result of this, I will have to cancel the continuation of Tommy and the coaches. It's possible I could draw a sort of continuation for SubscribeStar peeps, but the ratio of support there is currently outweighed by my support here, so it's difficult to prioritize content for one and not the other at this time. I'm sure there are exclusives I can post there, but as for new content, I need to pivot to some other projects to crosspost that I don't think they can dispute. I'll be re-evaluating my priorities as the landscape changes.
Art Site
I've been super hard at work on a website for my own art over the past few months, particularly this month. (All of the routes I'm working on are hidden behind a beta key, so there's not much to see at this moment other than a splash screen) I need a place I can put all my past works, starting with my comics and crowdfunded content, then filling in all the work over the past 20+ years. It's been a huge undertaking so far and I'm really excited to have it up for all of you to check out as soon as possible. Patreon and SubscribeStar have notoriously terrible "lazy load micro blog" browsing experiences for art, so I want to provide fans with something easy to use and convenient.
Patreon has made it clear that they have every intention of controlling what I do on other platforms that are connected to Patreon. I'd originally set up Patreon and SubscribeStar API integration, but will have to remove integration to Patreon to avoid having my presence elsewhere further interfered with, and I won't be linking to Patreon from it either.
Tanta's Bargain
The script for most of the next Tanta arc is completed! I'm in the process of blocking out pages for it. Just the other day I streamed some concept work for the characters she'll be interacting with, as well as the hunter camp. I'm expecting to have enough blocking in to start a round of pages inside the next week or two. Website work has been a huge undertaking, but any time not spent on that is put directly into Tanta.
Dragon Wife - 3D Animation
Some of you might remember the dragon lady who has a late night visitor from a big fellow that proceeds to break her bed frame. (Their names are Maya and Tusk, respectively) I've finished the modeling for her, with hair, texturing, and rigging next in the pipeline. My goal is to venture into some 3D animation with her and her large friend in the near future, so keep an eye out for that. I'm actually pretty excited to see where it goes.
eSpoused
The next arc for this series will probably be worked on in parallel with Tanta, and the plan is to start on it after I've gotten a half dozen or so Tanta pages complete. I've been tossing around the idea of a certain model stopping by at the studio, someone Levi offers to take home, and the model she met up for food with giving Amber a greeting of his own before dropping her off at home to a very horny Connor.
I've still got a few days in the month to toss some sketches your way! Thank you for all your support and well wishes, I hope to have more to share very soon on the art site and Tanta. I think you'll all love what I've been working on.
