[Patron-Only Feed] So, what's the plan?

It's important to always get adequate rest, or else you'll lose control of your circumstances and burn out. I've taken it easy lately, but I am still tired, so I'll try making smarter decisions.

I'm giving some thought to a handful of little ideas, so hopefully I'll be able to share some of them once I've developed them a bit further. It might not be a lot, but it's a start -- and that's important to establishing a strong sense of direction, which I'm hoping to achieve in the coming months.

This first week might be a slow one, as I've got a handful of things that may occupy my time: between a possible social gathering and some comic assistant work.

Beyond that, however, I'll see about experimenting with this month's pacing.

What to expect this month:

Just some of the ideas that are currently on my mind. This is not the extent of everything I will do, nor is it a suggestion that I will be doing every single thing present in the list below. This is just so you have an idea of what I'm thinking about right now.

Illustration Concepts

• Female Link, Summer Bikini
• R63 Dragon Quest Hero, The Luminary
• Female Link, Xenoblade Chronicles 2 DLC Outfit, 'Pyra'

Concept Art & Discussion Ideas

• Amaranth; further exploration of character & design.
• Bodyslide Girl; ideas behind concept.

The former will likely be more technical, while the latter is likely more expository. Either of the two ideas may be selected for this month's Concept Art & Discussion thread, though if I end up making them shorter, I might be able to fit both of them into the month.

I've spent some time outlining both of them, though they still need some additional work. As said, these things take a really long time to create. Getting an early start on both of them seems like a good idea.

Other Ideas

• brellocomics; what even is this?
• Female Link Comic; what should it look like?

Although they're of a lower priority than the Concept Art threads, they're still on my mind, so, I expect to spend some time exploring them this month.

Moving Forward

I want this month to be defined by two things

• Determining prospective directions to move towards. Even if I'm spending my time on a handful of different things, I'd like to get a clear idea of what those things are and what they will be like.
• Pushing myself, learning, and improving. My general production style has not always given me the time to actively improve my skills, and now that we have the schedule to facilitate it, I'd like to try doing so.

The Patreon is still evolving, so your feedback will be incredibly important in determining the development of the experience I offer and fine-tuning it into something we are all happy with. By the end of the year, I'd like to have something constructive to be working towards.

Perhaps I'll dabble in some other creative hobbies, too, during my quest of exploration, but I will wait to talk about any of that until after having done so. Either way, be sure to keep your eye on the Monthly Dropbox Archive (if you have access).

Don't forget to eat & sleep.
