BnE and Color Pages Update
Added 2018-05-17 22:13:51 +0000 UTCCritical mass has been reached. Wat is pretty much stretched to the limit with a backed commission queue, their own Patreon, and another joint project with LN.
At this point I'm freeing Watsup from color duty. Things just aren't getting done, though I don't hold it against him. So that being said I've got a choice to make before moving on.
Do I go back to page 25 and do 15-20 pages of color on my own, or do we ditch that in favor of moving on? It'll take a month or two. I feel like perhaps the color stretch goal is obsolete with monthly anyway, and that I put out a ton more stuff now instead. I can do color splashes and spreads occasionally. Or just make sure I do full color all the time now.

Personally, I think using colour as a punctuation to something important happening might make for a more striking effect if the rest of the comic is in greyscale. I've seen manga do that in the past, and it's actually pretty effective. Like you could use colour at the end of a chapter or at a dramatic moment to drive home the effect.

2018-05-20 20:33:51 +0000 UTCThis is a poll. I'm asking the community how I should spend my time. No rogue decisions have been made. What are these 5+ unfinished comics? The 'short monthly one-offs' that are voted on? I think you might have misread something at some point. To anyone else that may have these same concerns, the monthly vote comic is not supposed to be an entire series every month. It ends when the month ends. If they're popular they can be voted on again, which is why certain comics have appeared in the votes multiple times. When I was Per-Creation we'd have anywhere from 3-4 pages of Breaking and Entering monthly because I didn't want to overcharge my Patrons. Using this month as example I've done 7 while lowering the cost monthly overall. These changes happen because of polls like this. Ultimately I'm only one person and time is the most valuable resource. If you'd prefer color over additional pages your best bet would be to vote in the poll or make a compelling argument. I don't pretend that I do everything right all the time and I don't blindly do what my Patrons ask, but I'm always trying to make you guys happy and I'm always available. The link to Discord is right up there.

2018-05-20 20:29:01 +0000 UTCThere are 5(+?) unfinished comics, some hardly ever updated anymore, and now coloration is dropped as well? Sorry, but I'm not prepared to support this patreon any longer.

2018-05-20 11:00:43 +0000 UTCyou are not a loser dummy! :T your coloring is great but it is more of a refining/gilding/enhancing , something to look back on when rereading the story like when a decade long webcomic redoes the first pages after art style improved a lot. It doesn't affect the story but it is appreciated. Still when your busy you are busy, coloring doesn't run away it just means you got more to color when you have time again :3 I bet cora thinks similarily ! :O

2018-05-18 02:55:50 +0000 UTCAs much as I love my smut being in color I gotta agree here. Colors can be done much later and they can always be done by somebody else if the rest of you guys don't absolutely need Watsup or Cora doing it.

2018-05-18 00:01:27 +0000 UTC... so divided. I am happy with all the options, so I abstain.

2018-05-17 23:07:57 +0000 UTCThe thing is, and I might just be a bit odd, but I sometime have problems following what's happening in black and white panels. Colors really help me out with that.

2018-05-17 23:07:02 +0000 UTCThings can always be colored retroactively. Better to get the pages out first!
2018-05-17 22:55:41 +0000 UTCYeah I would suggest only doing color on the ones you really think would benefit from it. Like a very saucey panel or perhaps a very dramatic panel or whatnot

2018-05-17 22:31:22 +0000 UTCSelect all the option!

2018-05-17 22:21:43 +0000 UTCFor me color is always the icing to the more important actual content getting out

2018-05-17 22:20:33 +0000 UTCno need to do color, that stuff is pointless, why were you paying that loser anyway :V

2018-05-17 22:19:48 +0000 UTCMaybe I just read too many mangas as a wee lad, but I almost prefer greyscale
