TWAB: Plans for August
🕑 Added 2025-07-31 13:08:21 +0000 UTC
My apartment is still leaking, all these months later. My jaw still hurts, all these months later. But there is still much work to be done, all these months later. There's always work to be done.
Plan for August:
-- Pull back on random Sketch Dumps (unless a hyper-fixation strikes)
-- Female Link Friday, continue with Summer Theme
-- Catch up on a Dungeon Master Request from a few months ago
-- Attempt to create ONE "Sexy Fan Art" illustration using Popular Subject Matter
Tentative Plans:
-- Further consideration of "Beaumont" Sunday Event
-- Concept Art / Style Experimentation for Comic Project
-- Game Dev Progress of any kind...
Let's be real; it's hard to make time for comics - especially when I'm not consistent or good enough for the job. But if I keep delaying the creation process, then I'll never improve. While it is not entirely my fault (since I'm required to cater to the public), I'm worried that I've formed a habit of avoiding that challenge in order to avoid failure. So, I think I need to tackle that issue.
So here's what I think: instead of making comics as good as possible, perhaps I should try to make comics as easy as possible. I think I should experiment with techniques to aid this goal, like reducing detail and developing shortcuts to accomplish goals in a way that is stylistically coherent.
I think July was an exceptionally good month for pushing my work further than I usually do (rendering, colours, and backgrounds), so I'd like to continue improving in August too - but I should be mindful to not push myself too hard and risk burning out.
Don't forget to eat & sleep.
EDIT [08/02/2025]:
If you received a blurred preview of a test post in your email, that means Patreon is advertising my posts to lower-tiered patrons to encourage you to pledge to view that content - meaning I wouldn't have to do it myself.
So if you saw that email notification (AND IT WAS BLURRED AS A TEASER), please let me know. I made three posts - how many did you get a notified for?

I was curious about the cooldown. I sent 4, but it looks like people only got notified for 1. So while it is cool, it looks like I can't rely on it to do all of my advertising for me.

Got one email. The timestamp is Sat, 02 Aug 2025 06:29:09 GMT if that helps you identify it.

Saw the email, with the blurred image. Patreon will occasionally do this for current and former patrons in order to encourage users to subscribe to higher monthly tiers or yearly subs.
