"The Smooch" Lines WIP and General Update
Added 2023-06-09 19:26:36 +0000 UTCI've just jumped onto Patreon and I am blown away by how many folks have joined in the last 24 hours. Where did you all come from? Holy crap, thanks so much for the support! It will be worth your while and dollars.
Some may noticed recently that I'm on a hell of a campaign to broaden my presence online, and it is massively stressful. Like always, I am behind on merch, benefits, and commissions following the absolute shitshow of announcements, app shutdowns, and CEO drama happening on reddit, my preferred platform for engaging with followers and sharing comics. The plan has been to prioritize the Patreon more and more, and that so far is going well, however my following outside of reddit is lackluster, and I'm slowly resolving this.
Things are going to be so incredibly rocky for me as a creator going into July with all of that, and I expect things to grow worse for the platform, but I'm adaptable. This drawing will be made public for Pride on all platforms and should be accompanied with some kind of new game plan to distance myself from reddit. Shit has really tripped me up.
Comments
Just glad to be able to view your stuff! Instagram seems to be a decent place that I see artists, webcomics, and the like use as a gateway to their patreons and comic hosting apps. That's been a more recent way for me to find them other than Reddit. Hope you find somewhere you can start to grow your audience.

2023-06-09 21:40:21 +0000 UTCThis whole drama is so freaking sad, really. I migrated to Reddit during the Great Digg Migration, and despite all the drama, despite all the crazy subreddits and sometimes toxic members, a LOT of Reddit is very valuable. Great subreddits catering to really specific topics that are hard to reliably find anywhere else, and these admins have decided to take a nice, stinky shit all over it. Elk, wherever you go, I'll follow and continue preaching. Keep up the amazing work
