PROGRESS REPORT, 9/5

Hey, guys. So, let's cut to the chase and talk about what's going on lately:

BANDIT REVOLVER: So, this has been a difficult decision in the making, but it had to be made. I'm taking a break from Bandit Revolver...that is, for the public edition. The gap between the patron edition and the public edition has become too narrow, and my efforts to catch up have been bringing me dangerously close to burning out. I'm preparing filler material for the public edition. The hiatus will not affect patrons as I will continue to post pages as they are completed--the next batch should start dropping by the end of the week--they will be posted almost simultaneously as the public edition, which is why I need to take the public hiatus.

A large part of the issue has been related to my personal life. We've been very shortstaffed at work, which has lead to my having to do the work of two people more often than not (this is also compounded by area SBux being closed because their staff contracted COVID...so the overflowing customers are coming to my store, adding more to the workload). This has left me very stressed. Trying to keep pages of Bandit Revolver coming on top of dealing with my day job is honestly doing me more harm than good. So, I'm going to dial back the public edition of Bandit Revolver updates until November. As I said, you all will still receive page updates as they occur. This will hopefully widen the gap and allow me to resume both editions with minimal stress. I'd also like to widen the gap before the holiday season hits and leaves me even busier than normal.

NEW COMIC: I'm quietly working on a new comic--it's not Pretty Fierce, but it is a series of shorts. Pretty Fierce will remain on the backburner until January, when I hope to be able to take a proper break from Bandit Revolver. I will be revealing this comic at the end of the month. It is an original comic, so please look forward to that.

MERCH: Currently, I have a Tekken-related charm in production, Sonic stickers will be going into manufacture at the end of the week. I'm still sending out the Noctis art packs, with the next pack going into production, as well as a Noct-centric zine.

As always, thank you for your patience. I'm sorry that I've not been able to do much, but I'm hoping taking a little bit of the burden off of Bandit Revolver will help out. Once I know what else I can put into production, I will let you all know!
