June Updates/Moving Forward (Patreon)

I think I made a June roadmap but if I didn't, here we go!

Last month, I was unable to do more than one comic page and for that I apologize. As of right now, my queue is down to TWO commissions (one Patreon reward) and I couldn't be happier.

As I've mentioned before, I have been stuck trying to catch up on work sine almost LAST June, and unfortunately, since this is my job, the load just kept getting added onto. I was drowning, but the end is near and manageable at last!

Unfortunately, this doesn't come with all good news. You see, I've been doing furry art for over thirteen years now as a job. I always mention the burnout and the fact that it stopped being fun for me and I think it's because I'm always...busy. I could never keep up with my queues, I always needed to talk more work and apologize for being unable to deliver. That....really hasn't changed for a very long time. I'm beyond guilty and ashamed for this fact.

From now on and to lessen my load, commission openings will only be GUARANTEED in Patreon. My highest tier is my Wing-it commission price tier. If you're a regular of mine, I would recommend this so you can get art whenever. And if someone decides they don't wanna pledge to that tier after getting their commission, they can leave and leave it open for the next person.

This will guarantee that I am still making income WHILE limiting my commissions per month so I can focus on the more important things. 

Hellish Delights is nearing its end. Originally, the comic was supposed to be ten pages, but as we inch closer to the thirty page mark, it's looking likely it'll end on page 40 or so.

I also have not abandoned Chemical Attraction's Reboot. I still need to come up with a name for it, and I might just dip back into the original name and plot from when I was in high school.

June is going to be very busy for me because I have some personal, non-furry deadlines I need to meet. See, I've been weaning away from furry art for a while, and it wasn't until I noticed that drawing humans again has been more fun did I realize furries burnt me OUT.

I'm not pointing fingers or anything: it's the fandom as a whole. I've been on FA and Twitter for about 13 years now and total, I think I have almost 4,000 followers. Of which, I'd say 15-20 are regulars. That's...really sad. It's my own shortcoming and it's been hitting me in the face for a while. It sucks, and it hurts.

But, nothing else I can do but move forward. I hope that people will still continue to support me and enjoy the art I can do. I haven't felt great about my art and drawing as a whole for a very long time, but maybe having some personal time away from comms will do me some good. I sure hope!
