UPDATE: Changing my approach to this Patreon for next year (Patreon)
Content
Hey Everyone!
This is a post I have been reluctant to make, but this is something I have to do
Changes are always scary but I have been considering this for the longest time…
and I think Next Year is as good time as any.
So, the short version
So far my focus has been on the amount of content I put per month.
Starting next year I intend to focus more on the creative part
(and hopefully tackle new projects).
This might result on the amount of content varying from month to month, since some I will focus more on writing or just working on stuff while on others I’ll be more focused on actually finishing and uploading them.
Things will change, but I’ll try to keep it interesting for you all! c:
Long Version
Soooo… the main reason for these changes are the negative effect the current approach is having on my work, especially “Raan’s Doll” during this year but it does involves more than that.
The problem is that currently, every month I just trying to reach the next “deadline” or “content quota”. That’s good and all but the real problem is that I totally left the creative process out of the equation… While rushing to reach that goal I just end never having time to work on my scripts or trying new things like collaborations, commissions and the like.
This is the main reason why it took me more than a year to continue Raan’s Doll, (and I’m sorry to say that to this date that script isn’t even complete yet…) and the same Apply to why we haven’t seen The New Order or any other kind of “longer/most complicated Comics to write”, relaying in shorter and easier Comics just to reach that “content quota” I put to myself.
(Nothing really against them, they are fun to make but I don’t want to do just those)
So, I’m aware what you might be thinking since I have been talking about “amount of content”, and yeah… at least at first there might be a negative Impact in that regard… while focusing on the creative part the content might suffer, but on the other hand, when a script is done, I can focus just on the art and hopefully the quality will be better as well.
I do have some ideas how to balance this, as to make this Patreon still attractive so it keeps going strong. I plan to keep doing CYOA comics and one shots, and I do plan to be more active and share more behind the scene stuff to keep it interesting…
I’m also putting my comics to sale now (starting with Dressed to Impress), so, if things take a turn for the worst I do still have that option at least, but hope it doesn’t comes to that.
Well, This has been a way long post already, so I’ll expand on it on the next one.
But before I finish, just wanted to say this Patreon has been nothing but amazing for me, thanks to your support I get to make a living doing the kind of content I enjoy making, and if anything I’m thinking in the long term here.
So, thanks you all for your support
