Slowing down comics to bimonthly.
a year ago
General
As in, every 2 months, not twice a month!
I've been feeling a bit rushed with them, even when I don't procrastinate. It would be nice to feel like I can go a bit more slowly and (hopefully) make them a bit nicer and more well-researched! I feel like it's been a while since i've been able to spend time on anything, which has definitely affected my perception of my skills as an artist.
They also eat up a sizeable chunk of my monthly schedule; I've realized that between comics and rewards I'm spending up to 2 full weeks on patreon stuff, which is almost certainly the main reason I'm slogging through my commissions waitlist so slowly.
Additionally, I haven't noticed that the monthly comics bring in as many new subscribers as rewards do. Which is fine; they do tend to get more engagement than most of my other submissions after posting them publicly. But as I'm trying to better account for scheduling, I'm trying to put some extra thought into where my time is best spent!
I think this change should make things run a bit more smoothly on my end. I hope it isn't too disappointing for anyone! Hopefully I can make up for it by making the comics more polished.
On an unrelated note, thank goodness they're revisiting Policy 2.7. What a headache that's been!
