Congratulations, you survived 2020. So did I. I think we all deserve a pat in the back just for that fact alone, man.
Health stuff
I'm sleeping better! Thats all i can say for certain rn. Psychiatric and psychological treatments are long term kinda things, with ups and downs and constant adjusting here and there, so the whole mess won't be over anytime soon, but it's looking very positive and my sleep seems to be adjusting back to a healthy quantity and quality, so I'm in the right direction, and I'm not exhausted all day anymore 👍 So for now, all is more than manageable and I can get back to business as usual. Thanks everyone for your good wishes and personal messages, they mean a lot.
Patreon
2020 was a surprisingly good year for my patreon page. Patronage went up and we went over the $1500 goal. I'll be hiring artists here on out for more after-hours comics. I'm currently working on the details and contract stuff and whatnot, so i'll play it safe and say this project will begin somewhere in Q1 of this year. I gotta figure out a bunch of stuff for tthe first time, and from then on it will be much more easier to hire ppl in the future. Unfortunately, looking at my current available budget, these will be slow projects, with just 1 page a month and probably not a ton of detail. But time will tell. I'm looking forward to more After-hours stories from other hands than my own!
Webcomic
I got bittersweet "news". We maaaaaaaaayyyyyy be coming to a distant close on the regular webcomic. There are perhaps one or two more story arcs I wanna tell after the bonnie one, before wrapping things up. It's been super weird to imagine a life without "My life with Fel", it's been literally my life for the past almost 11 years. But all things must come to an end. I may be jumping the gun really, whatever stories I got to tell will probably take TWO or even THREE years at my current speed hah. But yeah, that's a thing that's gonna happen, eventually.
Worry not, the webcomic might end, but there are still plenty of stories to tell of Fel and her friends. Just probably not on a 10-year-long-pg13/r-webcomic-format. The NSFW side of things will go... ad infinitum, to be honest. There's nothing I love the most than telling those stories, and exploring the characters through erotica, so that side of things isnt going anywhere.
Commission work
As mentioned like... 10 months ago on stream, starting on February, the base price (that includes 3 characters) of my sketch commissions will go up to $120, and the extra characters to $30 each. (there are a couple of buyout streams agreed upon before this was announced and those will remain on its original price, you know who you are)
This year I do want to do kenno-cons, both on summer and fall. So please look forward to that. Fortunately, or -unfortunately-, depending who you are, I've already gotten more than half of the year booked for buyout streams, so there won't be a ton of chances for regular folks to get commissions, so keep an eye on those scarse, regular sketchcomm streams 👀
That's it for now. I wish you all an amazing 2021, which to be fair, its not gonna be hard to top 2020 😂 Thanks for all your support, and see you on the next comic page!
