Moon's Other Side goes on HIATUS!

Hello everyone! This has been a hard decision long mulled over on, but I've decided to put my current comic, "Moon's Other Side", on hiatus for the time being. 

Not only due to the way things are IRL I'm really struggling to get out 2 pages each week, but I've been feeling...sick everytime I get to work on the comic pages lately. I always feel like I'm inadequate at telling the story I have, from the subpar drawings to the storytelling itself. Everything from anatomy to background to ambient effects feel like something I struggle doing, all that struggle and effort only goes into an half-assed result. I know I can do better, this is not what I wanted for my story, and not what I wanted as your reader's experience.

So I'm taking a break. Not sure how long, but until I can look at my storyboards and think I can do this, I want to do this. For that, I need to practice more on personal pieces to improve my art the way I want, research wolf (and human) anatomy and background techniques, etc.
To do that I need time and motivation, which I don't have currently, but that I hope to get once most of my to-do list is caught up with.

I'm really sorry if anyone was following the comic and is disappointed by this, but creating your own story should not feel such a burden like this...I can't do it. And it's even delaying my commission work 'cause I'm like "I haven't finished the weekly MOS pages yet aaaaahh, need to focus on those first" which is something I absolutely DON'T want.
MOS is definitely the simplest/shortest story I have, and yet it already clocks at 12 chapters and several extra mini chapters, so idk...maybe I need to practice with smaller projects.

So in the end, I think I'm going to try and improve my writing first; it'd also be a nice break from commissions, when I have the spare hour but not the motivation to draw more, even if for personal stuff. My goal is now to write a oneshot or chapter every month, be it personal or fanfiction, and maybe turn one of said oneshots into a comic as storytelling practice. I'm always nervous when it comes to my writing, but we'll see how it goes...

So that's it! Hopefully I'll be able to keep up at least with the writing, and it won't be too long until I can feel motivated again to work on MOS.

Thanks a lot to everyone who has read it so far, it means the world to me ♥ See you soon, hopefully better than ever! ♥♥♥

Thank you so much for your kind words dear! Really hoping to get the motivation back soon too, and hopefully the time to practice so that my skill will improve and I won't feel like crying every page xDDD I'm so happy to hear you've been following the story, regardless of feedback! Knowing that there are people out there actually reading is what matters the most ^^ Oh, thank you! If I actually manage to finish one every month or so like I plan, they most likely will be uploaded here first, yes; though they'll be manly fanfictions, at least initially, as I'm kinda unsure about my original writing atm, so idk how many people will be interested xD Thanks for all the support! ♥

Thank you so much, really ♥ I'm not looking for compliments or anything to keep it up ahah, I just really feel I don't have the necessary skill to keep up the comic for now, so other than the much needed motivation all I need is really just some time to practice and improve, which I can't do until I catch up with commissions. Still thanks a bunch hun! ^^

Wish there was some way we could help give you inspiration/motivation without making it sound like we're trying to force you to continue.

Sorry to see it stop for the time being, but I more than understand the reasoning behind it. Hopefully the drive, motivation and desire to continue it don;t take overly long to come back. I have quite enjoyed following along with this, even if I haven't left a comment or feedback for every update. Would also love to see these possible one shot writing pieces if you do decide to share them in place of this.
