We're back! (Consolation Prize Pt.II 1-4 + Flex Art)

Happy new year! I'd like to start off by thanking all of you for remaining patient during my long hiatus. What started out as a quick round of commissions meant as a refresher turned into a wholly unintended half-year long marathon away from creating Patreon content. That has now wrapped up, and it's time to reboot! Here is what I have planned coming down the pipeline.

TL;DR: Comic will be released in 4-page monthly installments on Patreon + concurrent single page weekly releases on Twitter. Spanish versions planned as well. After comic pages are uploaded for the month, remaining time is a 'flex period' for smaller projects. Comment and 'like' your favorite ideas below and I'll take them into consideration.

1) As you can see from the pages above, I have decided to complete Consolation Prize as a webcomic, rather than a VN. The plan is to have 4 pages done per month, which I believe is doable since these pages took me 20 days total. I'll be releasing a page a week on Twitter as well, which is my compromise for honoring my promise to release it for free while also rewarding those of you who stuck around here with the up-front bulk release. I'm also working with Ati to make Spanish language versions as well- that will be coming soon. I mentioned the reasons for the change from VN to comic on my Discord, but just as a recap: growth is much easier to depict when you don't have to work with a handful of static sprites, and you can be much more dynamic with both composition and the character body shapes. Characters can interact with objects, and be viewed from many perspectives, which is just perfect for growing scenarios. It's also a medium that's easier to view since there's nothing to download or external site to go to. On top of that, I can release a comic in installments which is great for planning and scheduling. And frankly I'm just more interested in making comics than VNs right now. I hope you can understand these reasons.

2) After completion of the monthly 4 comic pages, the remaining time will basically be a flex period for other one-off projects that seem interesting at the time. Animations, illustrations, fanart, single-page comics...all viable options. As with last year's SizeDiffSaturdays, I'm open to suggestions from you all for what you might wanna see. Comment below and/or 'like' the ideas you wanna see drawn to life and I'll take that into consideration. This is largely meant as a time to refresh and avoid burnout from longer projects, so I'll use my own discretion to ultimately decide what gets made. These will be Patreon exclusive for the first month, and then widely released the following month. Or I might do Patreon-exclusive NSFW versions and SFW for general audiences, not sure yet.

And yeah, that's about it! Thanks for reading and for your support, and enjoy the comic!
