A question
Added 2019-03-12 04:25:48 +0000 UTCSerious question- would anybody here be upset if I took a few weeks off from the comic? We've reached a fairly concluded moment with no major cliffhangers, and I could use a little break. Not so much because the comic has been so strenuous, but more because 3D modelling and animation has been consuming my brain, and it's really hard to pull myself away from it to focus on other things. I've got so much I want to make and do!
I ask because I feel like the comics are a decently large chunk of why people have been supporting me lately in the first place, and I if anyone feels like I'm pulling a bit of a bait 'n switch on them I'd genuinely like to know. I don't want anyone to feel gypped, but it's been a bit of a struggle to make myself do much of anything else these days.
For what it's worth, if you'll allow it, I won't just be 'not working on the comic', I'll be making other smut instead. I can even sweeten the deal with a WIP of what I've been working on if you guys are interested! :P But genuinely, if you'd rather I work on the comic I wanna know. That is pretty much what you signed up for so I don't want to pull a fast one on anyone, so I'll keep at it if that's what you prefer!

Hrm, you know, I hadn't noticed the time of the month when I made this post, that timing is a bit of a shame... but so far it seems like pretty much everybody is alright with it. I'm also so driven right now to make 3D stuff that I'm having trouble focusing on any other work- honestly I think it's in the comic's best interest for me to take a break anyway, when I do come back to it the pages will be much better if I can focus on them. So I think I'll just let it go despite being the start of the month- if that means you wanna ditch me I completely understand, you'll get no hate from me. I'll even refund your last month's pledge if you wish, no problem!

2019-03-15 04:00:45 +0000 UTCWhile the comic is what I signed up for, artists need to cater to their own needs and you ASKED. So go for it. What irks me is the artists that bill per comic page, then suddenly without asking put up a bunch of other noncom material as paid posts. But when and artists asks first, and on top of that is billing monthly not per page. I have ZERO problem with them taking a break and meeting their own personal and creative needs.

2019-03-13 19:33:51 +0000 UTCI originally signed up just for the comic. But if you need a break that's fine. But would it be possible to continue the comic till the end of the month since we already paid for this month? Maybe bonus pages that can be dismissed as part of the story- like say the little fox gets an extra money shot or two from the horse because he's so damn good. :-)

2019-03-12 21:23:34 +0000 UTCGo for it! I'm here to see your work. Doesn't necessarily have to be in comic format!
2019-03-12 18:40:37 +0000 UTCI support to see your wonderful work, ether way, I’m good. You should follow the path you see and what makes you happy at the end of the day.

2019-03-12 16:00:50 +0000 UTCI think it'd be quite okay! Do whatever makes you happy ^~^

2019-03-12 14:34:08 +0000 UTCI’m in agreement with the others here, by all means take a break from the comic! *throws on 3D glasses* We are here for the art of Ruaidri, however many... Ds are involved.
2019-03-12 14:33:24 +0000 UTCI agree with the others here. We like your work, in whatever form you choose.

2019-03-12 13:04:20 +0000 UTCNo problem! Your throughput on the comic so far has been heads and shoulders above other artists so you definitely bought yourself some reprieve :D. I guess the only request would be to update us every once and awhile about its possible return date, there's nothing worse than a comic that's been left open for years. Can't wait to see your other work!

2019-03-12 12:54:57 +0000 UTCI pay to see you create. As long as you are creating it doesn't matter what it is. You're an awesome artist and anything that you put out I actually like. Take a break from the comic!

2019-03-12 11:58:24 +0000 UTCBreak time usually means there’s tea and cookies! Even if there aren’t cookies, there’s nothing wrong with a hiatus from a project. I was brought here by your stunning traditional artwork and am happy to offer support no matter what you have to offer. :3

2019-03-12 11:20:44 +0000 UTCSound good to me! If you wanna take some time off to work with your own projects that’s completely fine! You’ll still get my pledge no matter what you choose x3

2019-03-12 10:11:02 +0000 UTCI'm with everyone else -- take a break if you want. I actually thought the last page was the end of the comic. I would say, however, that the comic seems to have reached its... climax. :P

2019-03-12 09:02:14 +0000 UTCif you need a break you should take it.
Shadewing
2019-03-12 06:43:05 +0000 UTCAs others have said, I'm here to support you no matter what art or medium you use! Don't ever feel like you're cheating out your Patrons, we all know what we signed up for and if someone really does have a problem with it, the resolution is as simple as cancelling or dropping a tier. You do you, and we're all on board no matter where that ship sails!

2019-03-12 05:16:46 +0000 UTCIt’s ok, you do what you feel is necessary for you to do well with your work overall.

2019-03-12 04:45:36 +0000 UTCIn all honesty, the latest comic isn't really my cup of tea (horses..) but even if it was, I'd be completely fine. I started supporting you because I've been meaning to commission you for ages (I can't believe I've been on "the list" for five years and never had an opportunity to cash it in) and my income just never seems to line up with when you're open, so I figured I'd just support you another way. Especially because you're one of the most chill popular artists I know and you don't have an ego about it, and I support that wholeheartedly so I don't mind at all xP

2019-03-12 04:38:44 +0000 UTCAny content you generate is why I'm here - if you want to take a break from comics, that's just peachy!
Steve Foxx
2019-03-12 04:35:14 +0000 UTCI'm here because I love your art, so whether you're doing comics, 3D, digital, traditional, charcoal, or blood on bone, I'll be happy

2019-03-12 04:31:35 +0000 UTCDon't care either way - I Patron'd you to support whatever it is you're doing, not to demand specific things.
sonicmega
2019-03-12 04:30:07 +0000 UTCIn all seriousness, however, I didn't start supporting you for comics, I started supporting you to get hot and fresh Ru smut in my inbox once every whenever. I say do what you want! (and I'd love a wip. ~<3)

2019-03-12 04:29:09 +0000 UTCAll good! We're here for not just the comic but your art and skills in general :) Go for it!

2019-03-12 04:28:08 +0000 UTCI signed up to support ALL your work. Happy for you to do whatever works for you. The comic will still be here when you get back to it. Definitely interested to see whatever else you're working on.
