October BIG Newsletter

Hey folks,
I got some bad news and how I plan on fixing it.

1. THE PROBLEM
My shoulder/neck/back muscles are overworked from drawing all day because of full-time work and Patreon art after work. I expected this to happen as I knew of other artists it happened too. I was somewhat prepared for it, now I’ve realized what my physical limit is given my current schedule and workload.

To go more in-depth about how this occurred, at work I’m always drawing/sitting but after work I’m producing too many illustrations that require a lot of time being in on the computer. I’m working 7 days a week at this rate so there’s no time to recuperate.

I discussed with some other artists who do this kind of work and turns out I am overworking myself. There’s always a pressure and stress for me to complete all the images in 2-3 weekends since that’s my only free time and if I do more in quantity it affects the quality. I tend to rush my art which isn’t good imo.

2. THE SOLUTION
3 images for now
This will free up time to let me manage my health and put more focus on drawing without the crazy pressure and stress I hope.
 

3. MOAR CHANGES! RAWR
Shift in Art style
Believe it or not, I’m unhappy with my art style. My characters look like lifeless dolls to my eyes, there are a lot of artists who are painting this way, very polished shading but not very lively drawings and expressions/pose. I'm really determined to get the anime style seen in the images below. 

That being said here is the criteria I set for myself:

- See overview image for characters 

- See overview image for backgrounds 

3. What's next?
• No theme this month, I just want to have fun drawing without a theme
• November will have a mystery character event soon, keep an eye out!
• Art Request people send me your character name  

!! If your payment was declined this month on Patreon, send me a message, I'll work something out so you can get the rewards through my Gumroad.

4.CONCLUSION
These changes are in effect as of November 1st.
I apologize in advance if this negatively affects any of you. I gotta take this path for the time being to recover and adapt to the art style I was chasing all along.
 

Thank you for your understanding ^_^
