So, about Rootbound... (Patreon Update)

Hey everybody!  I just updated my Patreon pitch/adjusted my tier descriptions a bit.  I was waiting until I had finished the new artwork that I want to go along with it, but I decided it was more important to get the info out before putting it off any longer.  When you have a moment, please read it over and if you feel the need to adjust your pledge, please feel free to do so.  It's no trouble if you decide to un-pledge, as well!  I appreciate the support none-the-less <:)

Okay, now to my main point: Rootbound is so personal to me and I have a need to be heard through my characters.  I truly wanted to write a comic, but let’s be real, it’s been 5 years since I officially started posting pages and I still never made it past the first chapter.  I feel like I’ve been holding myself back by the standards of a comic and I’ve come to a realization that perhaps it’s better to switch up the format for this story.  My plan is to treat it more like a visual development project and focus on significant character moments.  Something like mini color scripts and/or narrative illustrations.  This way I can finally just DRAW my characters and share their stories, even if it means letting go of all the finesse a comic would detail.  And honestly, I want these characters to start to grow up with me.  In my mind, they’ve been stuck as teenagers since their inception over 10 years ago and I want to flesh out their futures now that I’m older, too.  Perhaps one day I’ll return to a comic format, but for now, this is something I want to explore with my story, even if its on a smaller scale.  I hope you all understand and look forward to seeing the new direction I take Rootbound in.  Thank you once again for the support!
