What's happening? (Patreon)

Hi guys, I hope you're doing well.

I hardly ever write long texts here. Because I am very worried that my English is not very good and I can make a lot of mistakes :) But now I would like to tell you a little about what happened this year, express my gratitude and share with you my plans for the future. The end of the year is the right time for this, isn't it?

Quite a bit about the bad.

I didn't want to bring up this topic, but I thought I had to say it, because it would explain a lot.

In March of this year, Paypal left my country, leaving me and my colleagues completely at a loss what to do next. I sincerely sympathize with my Ukrainian colleagues and I also feel sorry for my Russian colleagues who were left without means of subsistence. I don't want to raise political issues here, I just want to say that everything that is happening now is terrible. And I sincerely wish that all this is over as soon as possible.

This situation was a bit unsettling and for several months this year I really didn't draw anything. Everything that happened interfered with the creative process, so there was no desire to take the stylus in hand. When I came to my senses a little, I found a new way to withdraw funds from patreon- Payoneer. But in November of this year it also left us :)

In general, this year I was more busy not with what I really love - drawing, but reading the news and finding alternative solutions for withdrawing money.

A little bit about the good

And yet, for the most part, thanks to you, I do not manage to lose heart. Your support is invaluable to me and means a lot. This year I began to look at many things and people differently. I have never met so many amazing people as this year.

I remember this summer I was walking my dog in the morning and thought, “I've probably never been as happy as today.” It's an amazing feeling when you do what you love, people like what you do and you enjoy your work. I sincerely wish this to all of you.

Plans

I have plans for next year, I've had enough time to think about it. But events in my country are developing too rapidly, something is constantly happening and changing. Therefore, I understand that I cannot be sure what I will write now and plans may change.

In January (or February) next year, I will have to travel to another country to open a bank account. So that I could continue to draw for my patreon and earn money from my creativity.

I do not plan to open commissions in the future, as I would like to devote more time to my projects. But January and February my commissions will probably still be open.

A comic book?

Oh yeah. I really would like to try to do this. I've been coming up with a plot for about a year. And yesterday I finally came up with the end of this story. And I cried XD 

I've been thinking for a long time whether it's worth drawing this, because the story turned out to be quite personal and dramatic for me and I doubted whether I wanted to share it with anyone.

I can't promise you that I will definitely draw this comic. Since I had a dilemma in front of me. This story turned out to be very long and I'm even afraid to imagine how long it will take me to draw all this. I will have to simplify my drawing style to draw faster. And I don't want that, I love the details, damn it, pores, hairs, you know. It's like making a deal with yourself. Too detailed style of drawing can take a long time and I worry that I will draw it for so long that in the end I will just abandon it, as I will outgrow this story. But I want to try. 

I'll try to make a few pages (an excerpt of the plot that I'm sure will definitely be in this story) and see how much time it takes. Then I'll make a decision. But this is really what I would like to do.

It won't just be a po_rn comic. This is a long story about interpersonal relationships, love and family. All my characters have their own character traits, preferences, their own level of libido, and so on. Of course there will be po_rn scenes (only for patreon), but this is not the center of the narrative. And I think it's much more interesting. When the characters are not just fucking, but characters with their own personal history are fucking :)

I'll probably try to draw a few pages in January or February.

If I will satisfied with how much time I will spend on drawing pages, then I would like to draw several pages of a comic book per month and 2-3 fan art.

Thanks

And now I would like to say thank you to all of you. I couldn't have done it without you.

I read all your comments and messages, it means a lot to me. Thanks to you, I continue to do my favorite thing.

Tsotne I'm sorry that we rarely get to communicate, I would like it to be more often, I just wanted to say thank you. No one has ever drawn anything for me and when I received your drawing for my birthday, I was so glad! It was the best gift for my birthday. You are an amazing, kind and very sincere person. I really appreciate that about you. I hope everything will be fine with you. And I hope I will sort this out as soon as possible and we will be able to communicate more.
