The road behind:
When I started this patreon, it was more or less meant to serve as a platform from which I could finish working on A Long Way Down after being let go from Sexyfur.com, but over time it developed into something much more for me; a way of life.
With your support, Ive completed four full comics using this patreon, as well as several other works such as high-definition pinups and dakimakura, and once again I thank you from the bottom of my heart.
Going forward, Id like to focus more on world-buidling, character and set design as well as maybe even sliding a few new tricks up my sleeve such as animations and visual novels, but in order to do that I have to reshuffle my schedule and prioritize, which leads me to:
The road ahead:
If Im going to tell stories and learn new things, I only have so much time in the day to do so. As you know, art is a time-consuming process, with at least 1-2 days being spent on most pieces you see turn up in the feed (at least 3-4 days per comic page, thats working at full-tilt, 10 hours per day).
Yeah...Im uh...slow.
The further we go with this patreon, the more I realize that there are only really two options if I want to produce quality material without stressing myself out: Either I dedicate myself to doing commissions for people non-stop (which Im sure thats not what youre here for) or I dedicate myself completely to producing comics and material involving my own characters (with the occasional Prefect cameo of course!).
Now, there are some artists who can be satisfied in doing nothing but commissions and not telling stories, but Im not one of them, so I have to drop the wing-it commission slots for now, guys. Sorry!
WAIT DONT GO! This is a good thing! For you Patrons, it means:
See? OPPORTUNITY! And for those of you that like to bid on YCH auctions, Ill still be doing those between comics as well (gotta make up that lost revenue somehow, right?).
The Endgame
To be honest...there isnt one. I once had an over-arching storyline for Waystone in mind but now Im thinking I just wanna tell slice-of-life stories set in the world to explore how mortals, djinn, and Oracles interact and erm...get along heheh ^_^;;. No big wars, no save-the-world scenarios, just people and um...weirder people muddling through somehow, ya know?
2017 goals
Heres a little list of things Id like to achieve in 2017, with your support!
I'm looking forward to another great year working with you guys! Let's see what we can come up with, shall we ;)?
