I have a plan and it's crazy...!
Added 2019-05-10 02:30:29 +0000 UTCHello, people...!
Thank you very much for keeping an eye on my work from the other side of the monitor. I hope that all of you are in optimum conditions...:D
So yeah, I feel like I should publish more of this kind of stuff to feel beter connected with all of you, but the truth is that I am the kind of guy who doesn't do anything too interesting beyond working and drawing. Let's add that my creative process is not that rich or complex, so it's even harder for me to find something interesting to share with all of you.
Anyway, let's move on to the thing, in the last few months something has been bothering me, it's nothing really serious but it's something I would like to improve in the very near future. The issue is that I feel like my work has stalled this past year or so, certainly over time my art has grown a bit and my numbers have improved, but the truth is that we are still not anywhere near where we would like to be .
But fortunately it is really easy for me to find the source of all my problems...!
The biggest source of my problems and the culprit of the stagnation of my work is nobody but...me and my lackluster art style...!
Yeah, what a twist....:O
Now, please, no one thinks that I am the kind of person who only complains and wants to receive more money and atention for the same mediocre work, no, no, no, nothing like that.
I have a plan to get out of this hole and it's crazy...!
(Crazyness is not assured)
Come closer, we have to put on our thinking caps to decipher this mistery...
With confidence I can tell you that as a universal truth one of the best ways to improve your art is to make a lot of art, and I mean an awfull lot of art. I have mentioned this in the past, but until two and a half years ago (The moment when I started making commissions) I used to create less than 10 drawings a year, that's rubbish.
Since January 2017 (The moment when I began to make commissions) I have managed to push forward more than 135 individual drawings. That sounds a lot better, but it's still a laughable number for the real professionals...
So, I think that by this point many of you have already figured out the answer to my dilemma.
I need to start drawing an awfull lot more...!!!
But things are never so simple, I still need the money that my commissions generate, and to hope that the generous people of my Patreon pay while I go to train on the death island is a concept destined to fail.
So let's go back to the drawing board...
I need to draw an awfull lot and at the same time I need to generate some valuable content to offer to the people.
Hmmm .. what kind of artistic medium fills these characteristics...?
Oh! right, manga...!
But not any kind of manga, a hentai manga..!
(I need to improve on drawing sexy girls and there is no other medium that has a greater body count than hentai)
Now, some of you will be thinking that I am not qualified to create a manga, and that would be an understandable doubt. Many artists that are good at drawing find the task of creating a manga page really hard. But now is when I reveal another part of my darkest past.
8 years ago I used to publish a badly done manga that was nothing more than a cheap"Lucky star" knock off. I managed to create 10 chapters (180 Pages) and during that time I committed all possible sins and atrocities against sequential art.
So I guess somehow this makes me an authority on the subject...:D
I remember that it was easy for me to publish 8 pages a month while being a student and having a relatively healthy social life.
Right now I have confidence in being able to push 12 pages a month (I have generated this number based on nothing but my foolish confidence in myself)
What kind of content would I like to publish...? that's not a problem either, like every person with artistic delusions I have a box full of half-baked ideas, so we're covered on that front for the time being.
(As the idea progresses we will explore the content thet we have at hand)
I have to mention that this whole plan is something that I see happening near the end of this year or possibly never.
In any case, putting all these ideas in a post makes me feel that things are more real, which I hope will eventually push me to realize this plan.
And here is when I hit the big reality wall...
How to finance a project so unviable with an almost unknown artist like me...?
Well, this is where the brainstorming begins with all of us gathered here.
I do not know what to say beyond this point, I guess I'll simply throw this post into the world and see what comes back.
Greetings and thanks for any amount of feedback...:D
I really do appreciate it.

I also want to see the ongoing progress or any progress ...lol This is something I really want to do, so we could say that this post is practically the beginning of the project. Or at least the first step... By the way, I really should have use the term "hentai doujin", but I thought that not many people would understand it. I'm glad to see people of culture hanging around here...;D
