Ending Daily Sketches + August 2week break announcement

Hey everyone

I have a bit of sad(?) news as I'm ending the daily sketches starting from next month 

Unfortunately is getting harder and harder to keep up with it and I'm getting beyond burnt out. I figured it would just be a momentary thing but it'sit's getting more and more apparent that it's getting too much to handle, working on patreon stuff for 6+ hours a day on top of having to work freelance it's taking its toll, I've been doing daily stuff for almost 2 years now (with it's breaks) and I guess it was due to end

So I'm going to be restructuring things a little bit and give myself more of a breather (I'm still doing a shitton of alts don't worry)

The way It's going to be is that the daily's will be mostly gone (I'm keeping fanart/free friday so you can pretty much always expect a sketch that day)

I'll keep doing illustrations at the current pace tho, so once a week

Due to this I'm probably going ot switch to a monthly theme and every weekend submit characters for you to vote on, keeping you udated (and teased) daily with wips, tho might put this up to vote (whether you want 4 pieces of 1 theme or the opposite please let me know in the comments lol)

I'm also keeping the monthly patreon only as is so nothing will change that way, although if I'm doing a general theme like "anime month" I'm picking characters from the mpo poll so that we actually get to see some of those

so to summarize the content you can expect weekly is 1 illustration (plus alts) and a sketch on fridays + the usual mpo


I understand if some (or many dn) of you won't wanna stick around for that as I've set some expectation and definetly not gonna be meeting, not gonna hold it against you and thank you for being here up until now and hope you enjoyed it, to those that will stick around I can only thank you very much <3

Me being tired is also making this whole walltext sounding a lot more depressing that it should lol

To reiterate I'm not stopping production, just slowing down a lot

ALSO since I'm writing novels over here might as well announce that I'm going away for a couple of weeks in august from the 16 to the 28th where I'll be back with polls and stuff

Thank you very much for your understanding, sending you all sloppy kisses

(I'm also going to be pinning this as soon as round 2 for the mpo is over)

Hey man I'm honestly glad to hear you're giving yourself more time. You have literally provided us with more content in a month than many do in a year with your dailies and I'm incredibly grateful but also want you to not suffer from burnout so do what's best for your health!!! Not to mention all the edit styles you do which is amazing on its own.

I totally get it. Your sketches were extremely detailed and cranking those out couldn't have have been easy. We don't want you burning out! I'm definitely sticking around, your art is worth every penny!

Thank you so much &lt;3 I'm glad I inspired a bit! Weekly really seems just the best option, at least for what I do

Hey Porcoro, that's totally understandable. The daily sketches have really excelled your abilities and it was great to see the progress you made (it inspired me to buy a wacom and practice myself). It's only going to work if its sustainable and daily releases was never going to be sustainable. Restructure the rewards as you think is best! One observation from the many years I have pledged to many different artists, is that a weekly release seems to be the best balance of frequency and workload - but of course go with what works for you.
