ROADMAP UPDATE FOR CLARITY AND WHAT TO EXPECT
Added 2024-04-09 18:25:37 +0000 UTCToo long didnt read warning
So I'm on a verge of a breaking point at the moment mentally and physically. (how is it April...)
I will be taking a 4 day holiday to Prague with a lot of friends starting Thursday and I'll be returning on Sunday. At the moment I thought I could reasonably finish my Beelz imageset before then, but I keep tweaking the lineart and edit layers multiple times because I think Im an obsessive perfectionist and sometimes it doesn't look right. This of course leads to all kinds of burnout which leads to a drop in quality. I don't want to compromise my holiday and rush out an imageset that looks bad in my eyes.
Doing all the coloring and shading is one thing, however I don't want to compromise on quality anymore, so I want to actually give the lingerie I've drawn some actual detail and design. Once that's all actually done, I usually spend a few hours just writing the script, drawing the text bubbles and exporting several dozen edits for you guys, you know with and without various articles of clothing and coom edits. I would like to look back on the imageset in the future and think how I could improve on next, rather than "Damn this lineart is scuffed lmao" (Also I need I planned to practise on my backgrounds lol)
I don't like overpromising and making on the spot deadlines, so from now on, I will avoid giving them unless I've planned it out properly. Apologies to everyone that I keep always delaying, but I want to be more transparent and productive (hence ive created a patreon exclusive channel for all ongoing stuff)
I will definitely get all the colouring and most of the shading done by Wednesday tomorrow, but I also realised I've got a ton of IRL todo things before going on holiday (Getting a haircut, getting some spare keys cut and made, cooking dinner for my girlfriend so she can have some leftovers for the rest of the week, and also actually packing some nice shorts and Hawaiian shirts for the holiday). So I'll do one final work in progress upload in Patreon before I leave for the holiday so I can reflect on the current progress.
My biggest weakness I keep encountering is planning long term projects, this is usually because I either work on for fun drawings, seasonal/holiday drawings, commission work and general procrastination. I will restart the monthly polls in May onward, but this time it won't be for entire imagesets except when I feel like making a new one. If I want to do a long term project, I need to plan it a few months in advance properly.
A lot of you high tier patrons are currently bankrolling me and basically pay half my bills, the rest comes from the regular donators so that's a huge help, I'm looking to work on rewards when I get back from holiday for March and April after the Beelz imageset. (and the 2B one lol)
This summer I plan to work on a SFW / Ecchi of sorts Helltaker comic based around the beach episode I had shelved for ages. I've been prodding it with a stick, thinking how I want it to pan out while studying other Helltaker fanartists own comics. A sort of Azazel runs into the old gang of Angels surveying the Harem type of idea.
I also want to produce my OC stuff with Asheroth, Dantalion and Naberius (totally not borrowing Anikiki's character sheet ideas). Basically Lingerie/Fashion demon, Nerdy Library demon and Cool shortstack demon.
TL;DR: Imageset burnout. Will finish coloring and shading before going on holiday with friends. Will come back on Sunday. Imageset will be finished off properly. Summer beach episode comic for real and my demon OC ladies.

Take all the time you need. Burnout is no joke and I hope things get better.
