Diary Update - 3rd February 2021

Hello everybody once again,

I've got a fair few bits to cover and don't want to take up too much of your time so I'll try and be concise and with some brevity as best I can for this update but still with enough info and news to be of help!

**** JANUARY HIATUS ****

So I'll start with a thanks, a huge and massive thanks to you all once again. I took off January to get myself back in line and ready once again to continue doing this and had no idea how people would react and if they would mind hanging on. It was a bit scary in truth.

I couldn't thank you all enough however for your patience. The majority of you all decided to hang around and gave me the chance to recharge my batteries and get back to it. It was such a relief, I can't begin to express and so you have my deepest thanks for your support and sticking with me, and yeah... thank you and cheers!

With it I had no idea how much I think I needed just to step back for that month and get things in place but not have to deliver after months of self imposed deadlines and content to push and I went into a deep separation from it. It took weeks before I could even care enough to look at working on anything and then a good few days after to get back to drawing and content after being away from the tablet for so long.

I had some major plans to in essence carry on as I was and just not post and finish with outstanding content and things like that. Mostly this failed to materialise because of the unexpected detachment, so still have this to do but the thing I've gained is the recharging of my batteries, and in a major way.

So there is still much I need to do, I still have my new responsibilities with I've settled more into but are still a time blackhole... but there was just no way January would have produced any results worth note and so truly it was a useful thing to have had, even if things worked out differently than planned.

**** FUTURE HIATUSES *****

While I'm here I'll VERY quickly mention about this. It was successful, and I was SO close to making February a continued month off it as it's my birth month and Feb is always the turning point  for the end of my winter season and soon to start spring.

But I've decided I'm fired up and ready to go and so why not jump on this opportunity after this break and so am back at it now.... but depending on how things happen this year there maybe more Hiatuses down the line if I really need it.

Again, I wouldn't want to do it lightly as doing this is already slightly bad form and I'm SO very thankful of your patience... but it might if needs be. I won't waste your time or support money with bad content and will involve as a last resort again.

**** TEST RUN MONTHS ****

So as mentioned, new responsibilities over the last few months. So far gotten into them nicely but the time drain is a real thing, days will be lost to it and less time for art. Still sucks but is an evil I'll have to contend with. However this month and the next I will actually have more free time away from it (a very pleasant and unexpected surprise honestly).

I'll be using this also a light test run of getting content out and making it work with more time free and seeing how I can produce work while still time pressed. Looks okay right now but the end of the month might not be so lucky. So yes, using this as a test and seeing where I might need to cut corners if needs be.

I've gotten my backup pile of work that's grown, ideas I've started and generally no fear that content  won't be released but it all needs more tender loving care to finish off or colouring that still is to come – but I'm going to be busy one way or another despite the preperation.

**** iGAPES TRANSFORMATION / GROWTH GIRLS ****

So over the last year for the iGAPES contentI had the Calendar girls content as work. We've now moved on from it and the hope was the idea of transformation or growth or change in a girl (becoming more gaped / growing and changing as you'd probably guess). I've had a genuine think about what themes I can show, ideas for the girls and how best to show the ideas off. Big document, well throught out.

The problem is that many of the more ambitious ones will take SO long to do time wise that it maybe unviable and released half baked and incomplete. So for now with the rest of the project and content I have to roll out this has restricted how it'll come out... *sigh*.

It might change how it looks month after month (Hell, the character might even roll out over several months?) So unlike the prior set with a theme and a look... for now it's way more free and loose (as I guess a iG girl should be ~_^)

I've still deciding what and which method would be best to show this because of the time commitment and might be delayed a release this month if I need to, but to note more I'm still planning on it but want to work smarter, not longer on this one. But there will be some some fine TF ideas and girls coming from it and really look forwards to getting my teeth into it soon!

**** POLLS ****

I recently asked at the end of January your opinions on a few things with the polls (a bit later than I should have... but better late than never) but the response and the guidance from just a few but very important poll has been honestly great!

I want to thank you all if you managed to take the time to vote on them (still looking and evaluating if you still want to vote still BTW) and I've gotten just another poll for the iGAPES / stretching tier liking crowd that maybe released soon with another one to help point my in the right direction.

I'll make a breakdown from the results in the next update (once the dust has settled and everybody have voted) but just quickly, thank so very much. I take this feedback importantly and will be acting on it for sure!

------------------

Right so back to it now. I could space this out more with what's coming up on the docket and plans in mind and what I've done and things you might like to consider... but I think I'd rather just get back to doodling some excessively oversized genitalia gargantuan girls and show it rather than just explain it.

I hope to get something out shortly, but as usual the start / mid of the month may have times where I need to work on making the months content – so it'll appear as soon as I can get it out to you all. Thanks for your understanding!

So thanks everybody for reading this update, thank you for holding on and the support making any of this happen at all. Don't forget to Backup your stuff as a very quick reminder (as I am right now!) and hopefully more content from me before long! It's good to be back! Cheers, Sius
