Too much planning, not enough freewheeling.
Added 2019-04-11 16:22:12 +0000 UTCOut of curiosity I went and tallied my annual output. Just reward-able art, not including trades or commissions. This is what it looks like
- 2016 - 80? (data incomplete)
- 2017 - 117
- 2018 - 87
In 2017, I was more random. No single idea lasted too long, Zodihavoc started but everyone was different, each individual was a fresh exercise. Also started the birthday poni set.
In 2018 I did more sets. I also put up more polls to deliver specific goodies. There were also much less original ideas, 90% of it was fanart. It wasn't a very good year, might be a contributing factor.
In the planning to give exactly what's voted on, it's become less art, feels more like work. instead of waking up and drawing whatever i feel like, I look at list and try to meet a deadline. Yet doing anything else feels like i'm betraying the promise.
So... I wanna do more. At least 100.
I want to dumbly do stuff again, go where the mood takes me. no deadlines, no set to sit on, promises made will still be kept, but they'll happen when they happen because Muse is fickle like that.
So the Dizborne, Sonic, Zootopia extras, X-Mickey, zodihavoc comics, they'll be done at their own pace. I still won't post them to DA or FA till they're done, so you still get first dibs.
Pardon moi for being selfish.

π€π€π€ i totally get you. Zodihavok seems like your personal project and almost completely original, the Sonic Kranked by now has little to do with the original aside from vague character likeness... and you could in theory rework those likeness to feel even more detached from the original and call that your own personal project. Honestly if you want zero legal troubles your characters are already different enough but you could make them more like you want them rather than staying tied to the original out of a sense of duty. They are by now almost completely of your own making. I... honestly forgot completely about X-Mikey. The rest is up to you. I just hope that Patreon, now that's become european does not start enforcing Article 13 and go against fanart. π€π Good luck. πππ
