July Is a Month (With a Late Start)

Still on a Friday update day kick I guess.

In my continued effort to deal with burnout and get back on track with comics I will be focusing on a couple of things from THE LIST (the poll winners that did not get finished yet) and will be doing the Atsuko one first, along with a Medora massive BE set this month. Commission wait list is a slow process that is ongoing but I am hoping without the polls some of the stress and pressure will ease up and I will be able to recover my mind.

June Artdump

Again the art dump reminding me that I actually got a lot done this month.

A Friendly Doodle

Normally I would post this with other doodles, but I was really focused on the comic and commissions this week. This was just a cheer up doodle for a friend of a cute character. Enjoy!

Look; that's a lot of valuable space that should be used efficiently. You can't just waste valuable company assets by sitting on them.

WIP 062323

Going to stick with wips in the end tonight because I could rush out the comic but I would rather take the time to get a few more details in to polish it up so Im happier with it than I was with Conika. it and the big birb will definitely be done by end of month post: maybe even get one or two of those others done as well.

WIPs

Anyways, works in progress tonight. Some ideas I want to get completed this month and that commission I have continued to struggle with - though with a large stress factor addressed I am hoping I can loosen up and make better progress the next couple of days.

On The Subject Of The Polls

I've been going over it a lot and I think the polls need to be suspended entirely for a while. The patreon is supposed to be a chance for me to finish and post comics. My goal has always been One Comic Page per moth plus more depending on support. So, for example, it should be two comic pages per month right now plus illustrations and any commissions or art projects I worked on.

But for various reasons the polls keep being a constant source of stress and burnout. They have effectively ...

June is a Month

Following how burned out I got from May I may be a bit slow to start this month. But I have a lot of making up to do to get back on track with my schedule. So I will probably have to do a sketch commission stream at some point later on in the month (possibly the weekend after next), get the Conika comic finished and then try and get some of the easier patreon stuff out of the way. The stuff on my patreon list that is going to require complex compositions will be left for later in favor of eas...

May Art Dump

Well the buzzer is sounding and I didn't get it finished. I'm going to have to post a WIP for the comic for the time being. 

Unfortunately I had a commission and patreon comic kick my ass this month. Feels a bit like I lost the entire month. Anyways. I'll try and finish the colors and sound effects over the weekend.

I'm Going To Tear Off My Hands And Eat Them

But how will I eat without any hands?!

yeah sorry the comic is late. I am having the worst time getting this finished and even making the late weekly post is not going to happen at this point. Worst case scenerio the comic will go up with the art dump on Wednesday (which is also the last day of the month) sorry for skipping a week, just kind of having a struggle this month with some stuff that is way more difficult than I expected.

I blame brain gremlins and alien mind control. 2023-05-26 20:24:57 +0000 UTC View Post

May Patreon Poll

Poll is running until the end of the month. This month I asked for just characters so you are not going to get my attempt at clever newspaper headlines unfortunately!

Ingestions of Enbiggenings

I wanted to get one of the comic pages done also but I am going to call it here. This week is just two growth illustrations - I didn't go as hard on the food porn for the meat as normal for the same reasons I am still not done with the comic pages:

- I have a couple of commissions that are really kicking my brain around
- and I am having a major brain fog week.

I swear its not JUST because I have been up until 5am playing Honkytonk Cosmic Choo-Choo in bed.

Poll will go...

Friday Update This Week

I want to finish more stuff for the batch again so I'm pushing it to Friday for this week. I know logically I COULD change the weekly post to Friday permanently but that's quitter talk. Also some weeks are just for the WIP tier and I want to avoid that happening too much and the push to weekend feels like I am doing something about that.

It's very complicated psychological strategy.

WIP Conika Comic, Commission, and Character Design

Feel like I am going very slow this week unfortunately but at least making progress. I would prefer to get more than just Conika finished from the patreon list, but its a fun one.

Doodlebits

A drawing I did of my D&D character (pretty boy orc monk), and a few miscellaneous doodles.

May Submission Post is Different

Final Submission Day is Tuesday, May 16th.

I'm doing something different for patreon poll this month instead of the usual. This is not going to interfere with the list of patreon poll winners that I have done in the past but I want to try something a little different to give me a buffer. Instead of asking for situational or sizes I want you to submit *just* characters (One per submission). You can submit your own OCs, characters you have permission to submit, or even IP...

May is a Month

So pretty confident after last month went as well as it did. Though to be fair I kind of took a freespace month for patreon illustrations instead of specifically working on things from the list.

Speaking of the list: the winner from last month was Barria Being Too Full of IceCream. Which is just very on brand. And there are quite a few others still on the list that I need to finish (including a few you have already seen planning and WIPs of, so those are going to be first priority for ...

April Art Dump

Ok actually there was a lot more this month than I thought. A few things didn't get posted on individual posts during the week because I forgot - so there are a couple of images that you may not have seen yet. Also some doodles and tidbits from the D&D games I play in and some early ideas for patreon stuff that I need to start clearing next month.

Basically a lot more this time than I was expecting.

Enjoy!

Doodlebits

Unfortunately I didn't get as much extra stuff done to cap off the month but I am going to play the "I had a birthday and dental surgery" cards and milk those for sympathy.

Art dump goes up this weekend - honestly I got a fair amount done this month and am feeling more confident about my schedule changes: I do want to get more commissions done and quicken the pace on that list of patreon illustrations I need to complete though.

Minor Schedule Change This Week

I'm posting this week's post on Friday instead of Wednesday so I can push a few more illustrations out to fit into the last post before the end of the month. I also have a dentist appointment on Tuesday and I'm somewhat certain I will spend all of Wednesday complaining about my face. Not like that.

...

If I screwed up the poll again I just want everyone to know:

It's my birthday this month and I will cry if you yell at me.

Final Day for voting is April 30th (just letting this one ride till the end of the month).

April is a Month

Ok I'm actually going to babble a bit and touch on the personal stuff, indirectly complain about being poor and so on. The important things for those of you who don't want to listen to me whine are:

-Making patron polls fun for me so I get burned out less.
- One comic a month. more if we make milestones ever.
- Art posts on Wednesdays.

Everything beyond this point is potentially annoying whining.

At this point the steady decline of productivi...
