Collar6 Returning (Patreon)

I'm working out what to do, thus the lack of an update. I'm not entirely happy with CollarV since I'm making the same mistakes of giving it a narrative when it's supposed to just be bdsm antics. Old habits and all that.

I made the decision earlier this past week to resume work on Collar6, despite everything. I've spent most of my time trying to untangle the narrative mess I've made of everything before going forward however, and this has meant a lot of time re-reading my strips and trying to sort out the bullshit. I am seriously considering reworking the entire series like I began years ago. Remove all the filler and nonsense that didn't go anywhere.

An overreaching problem is that I spend too much time trying to make every strip look as perfect as possible, which has turned making strips into a slog. I get burnt out, y'all get sick of waiting for anything. I'm going to have to find a happy midway point or something. I want to return to a 3-strip-a-week format, but I don't know how I could accomplish that with the way I'm currently handling art production.

The point of this seemingly aimless rambling is that I'm trying to sort things out so I can get back to a steady output. I'm not sitting around with my thumb up my arse, I'm really trying to get a clear sense of direction. Also dealing with the usual irl stuff, but who isn't? Anyways, I'll have something up this week. Just bear with.

One old adage applies here I believe. "The perfect is the enemy of the good." It is so very easy to get in a rut by wanting everything just right to the degree that you just kinda lock up and give yourself block (I get it all the time.) You need to allow yourself mistakes and a bit of sloppiness. Not easy with an artist's mindset, believe me I know, but it is necessary to keep any sort of flow. Hope that helps at least a little.

So, minor idea here, but why not adopt the "multiple pass" model some other comic creators use? Find a minimum state that allows you time to get the volume you want (pencils? lines?), and *only* go that far (no cheating, done is done). Then let subscribers vote on {new strip} or {+1 pass to old strip} for a limited number of slots (maybe 1-out-of-3 from a week?). That way, some strips get polished, but the plot keeps moving forward. And you don't feel like you're shorting people, because the deal is only {rough draft} or {+1 polish}. Not "a never-ending death march of perfection"?

I second this notion. This not only allows you to push content at a steady pace, but given that you are so open and communicative with your viewers, they could also give comments and suggestions for the roughs that get posted. Something that you think looks terrible or doesn't make sense might actually really appeal to the viewers, and there's no better way to determine that than to ask them.
