So the goals have been a bit of a mess for several reasons.
🕑 Added 2020-06-30 03:21:40 +0000 UTCI am still aiming to keep the promise of posting at least five pages a month whenever possible, but the mix of varying quality, ability, and price of every artist has made it very tricky to do things the way I've wanted to.
How I've planned to do things is:
At a certain point after reaching the necessary threshold of funds to hire the second artist, I would have one artist continue working on the latest chapter, while the next artist skips ahead to work on the following chapter. By the time we reach that following chapter we can start posting additional pages in line with the owed extra pages that my patrons are supposed to get. By the time we reach that chapter, the first artist is already hop-scotching ahead to the chapter after that, and so on. I effectively can produce up to 10 pages a month.
How it's actually playing out:
Sometimes I get enough pages, sometimes the artist neglects to put in any work until 3 months later and we're behind schedule by a lot. Sometimes this is well worth the wait because of the superb quality in the work. Sometimes it's because life happens and an artist gets delayed. Either way it ends up in me not posting the appropriate pages in the appropriate time span.
I currently have no idea on if I am behind or ahead of schedule but I feel like I am behind and it's aggravating me and probably you guys as well. I am considering ditching the other goals listed until they become more consistent with reality. Maybe re-work them at a future date. It doesn't help that different artists have varying rates so that further muddles the goals.
I don't want to abandon the goals because it might discourage people from putting in more money to help this along. On top of all that I actually have to pay taxes on every dollar I handle through this, and it's a lot of taxes.
My point is, do I need to worry? Is anyone disgruntled? Talk to me.

I don't mind if it takes a while to get all the art going. I'm here because I enjoy the story as it progresses. Getting to see it in art format is just a big bonus. :3

I am definitely not here for the comic it is definitely a huge bonus, because it's fun to see the different artists take on the story. I am really looking forward to new chapters of Guts and Glory. Your writing is amazing, I will keep an eye out for more artists 😉 to help with the comic. I would encourage other Patrons to do the same. I would lend you the artist that is working on the comic based on my story, but he is obviously busy, and not quite up to the quantity you are looking for (but he is progressing quickly)
