Future Plans
8 years ago
As I mentioned in the latest submission there will be some changes to how Forest Tails updates for the foreseeable future and I'd like to take this opportunity to say why, answer some questions and ask at least one of my own;
1) There will only be one page a week in the foreseeable future. Two pages a week is too stressful with a dayjob and a private life and I hadn't been enjoying the uploads as much as I used to with the stress it was creating. Two pages also means I don't get to build up any sort of backlog for times where other things need to take priority - dropping down to one page a week (at least for a while) will allow me to do some other artwork aswell, which will be needed once HSD2.0 starts production and I also just want to get to draw something else for a change, as much as I love all my forest dwellers in Morning Light.
2) With a once a week update schedule, we now have the chance to pick a day in the week where you'd like to have the page. For those of you who have been paying attention, I've tried to keep a monday/thursday upload regimen. With only one page per week coming at you, when would be the ideal time for you folks to give it a gawp?
I still have to take care of the cat's eye drops, which means I get up an hour earlier than before, commute to mom's, handle one drop, wait an hour, handle the second drop (two different medications) - and get to do the same thing in the evening, which means I get home about an hour and a half later than before aswell, so time is rather short when I do get home.
Forest Tails will likely continue in the new year, when I've had the time to produce a page or two and some backlog. I have Tobur's character portraits and relevant info ready to upload next week, but aside from that there wont be new pages this year.
Looking forward to hearing from you guys, all thoughts and comments and whatnot :3

And I understand the time constraint thing, and it's not like we pay to see it; I'm just glad I get to enjoy it at all.
GET A Bleeding rest, man! We, of course, woun't quit moaning about, but that doesn't mean you have work your bum off.
I mean, nothing wrong with a little intrigue, in this world of spoiler-announces.
Any day that works for you is good for me man.
Merry christmas and a happy new year.
As for day, the weekly comics i watch currently are all beginning of week updates, so I'd vote monday. From a different perspective, I always liked having stuff like that earlier in the week to try and fuel the misery of the week to come.
Take the time you need to get into a place where you feel comfortable. A happy artist means happy fans.
On the other hand i must ask you though. Wouldn't it be easier for you do to it all during weekend with less time presure? If so, i vote for saturday. If it doesn't make a difference, i vote Thursday. Good to keep the spirit up during a hard working week.
