Lil' status update report thing!

Apologies for the slow posting this month, it's been a weeeeird month for both me and my colorist, Caedere/Raptie. 

I was originally planning on finishing page 127 around Friday, and then posting this next OOPs page (Kass' journal entry) before the end of the month, but obviously page #127 took longer than expected. 

Now, one of the downsides of using Patreon as my main source of income is that I need at least 3 posts a month to pay for rent/food/meds/birdfood. So, I could rush out this next page by the end of today, but I've also been looking forward to this page for a while, and would really prefer to give it the time I think it deserves. 

So rather than rushing out a generally acceptable-but-could-definitely-be-better page today, I'm going to mark this post as a charged one, and not charge the page when it is posted.

So basically, I'm pushing the charge date for the upcoming page forward a few days; not double-charging or anything like that. Ugh, I hate talking in terms of "paid posts" and "charges" and "finances" and such, but also your financial support for me and these stories I'm telling is something I take very seriously, and therefore I want to treat it with respect.

Anyway! Expect Kass' journal entry soon, and after that, the next LAM page is currently in the inking phase, so it won't be far behind. Thank you all once again, so much, for allowing me to tell these stories because of your support. You are all my heroes, alla ya.

Lil' status update report thing!

Oh I can float real good I tell you what!

Val Salia

Much appreciated! Honestly, the main reason I did this is so that the next page isn't rushed, when I know it could be an entertaining and informative one if I give it the time it deserves.

Technically you could put your food into a blender until it's a fine purée and you could just drink everything

ILL MAKE MORE COMIC I PROMIS

Val Salia

Sometimes, pretty much a solid half-a-month's worth of unexpected stuff!

Val Salia

Ay, thanks! Honestly, that support, which I've come to know I can rely on, is exactly why I want to make some very clear updates anytime something like this happens; I appreciate that level of support and understanding immensely, and never want to give the impression that I'm taking it for granted.

Val Salia

If only because if I don't eat then I won't have enough caloric intake to move my muscles, which is a very central aspect to drawing!

Val Salia

Many thanks for the understanding!

Val Salia

I'm sure we could make some good problems if we really put our hearts into it though!

Val Salia

Yup! Totally fine! Just a really crazy month for things that consumed a lot of time, is all.

Val Salia

Totally; honestly the chance for burnout as much, much less of a problem than just having the time to draw enough on the occasional weird month like this!

Val Salia

I am gladhappy!

Val Salia

That's definitely the plan, longterm! Ironically though, I work on extras like that only after I've finished my basic comic quota for the month. Which I might have to change!

Val Salia

And Birds too!

Super Shanko

Do what you gotta do, goofball. We're here because we want to support you

Thomas Halpin

Be free from guilt. No one here wants you to, like, not eat.

Villicent

No worries. I'm here for the whole experience.

Max Last

No problem at all

Raan

Sounds good. I hope everything is okay.

Sounds legit to me! Go for it, as long as you don't overwork yourself. <3

MelodyBunneh

I am totally fine with this.

VGR

I'm totally cool with it! But what you could do is have a backlog of finished pieces and post those in lieu of rushing a comic page. Like you did that Freya Crescent pic before. I'd like to see more like that!
