I'm feeling better now + Direction of the Comic
🕑 Added 2021-04-02 09:48:56 +0000 UTCFirst off, I'm still continuing the comic, just wanted to start off with that because the post title might sounds scary ;w;
Okay, on to the announcement:
I'm back! Sorry for the long absence everyone! As some of you might know, I've been feeling depressed around last December before new year, I haven't been able to draw anything I'm satisfy with, and it has drag on till now. Recently, I've just start to feel better about myself again, and since I've just been finished a GrimAter related illustration. I'm happy to say that I'll be back working on GrimAter again starting from today!
However, there are things that need to be address before I'll be able to move on.
I realize that the cause of my depressed state come from not being able to live up to your expectation, or at least the expectation I've create in my mind that my reader would expect from me. I've tried to push for a monthly release, but the drop in quality lead me to doubt my own ability, and I'm the type of person who get frustrated when my own work don't meet my standard (which might be too high for my own good to be honest) which is why I wasn't able to work at all during the past month.
I feel like, in order to make it work, I need to go back to the time of Chapter 1 -2 where I was able to work on the manuscript to my hearts content until it became a work that I'm proud to present to the world. Doing this would surely equal to chapters being put out slower, so I'm thinking about streaming my work on Twitch while I'm in the middle of working on a chapter.
Since there's no way, I'll be able to healthily release a chapter monthly, I feel the need to change the rewards system to something else. I've read your comments, and some of you like the system of an alternate version of the comic page, which can still be done, but since the chapter will be out much slower, would you be interested in a monthly illustration to keep you busy in the meantime? Or if you have any ideas, please suggest it in the comment of this post.
So, in conclusion, these are some of the changes I'd like to make moving forward:
β’ Chapter won't be monthly, in order to create a work I'm truly happy to show the world, instead I'll be streaming my work to not be too inactive.
β’ Since chapters are release slower, A new reward system is to be decided
Lastly, I owe you all a huge apology, I should have said something a long time ago, but I was so scare of my failure to do what was right. Thank you for putting up with me even then, truly.

Thank you! Thats an interesting idea! Though I wonder if all my supporters plays DnD ^^; Maybe I could apply the idea but with a normal commission instead?π€

Thank you for putting your personal health and mental health first. It has been lonely with you and grim gone but it is understandable. In regards to your rewards system, may I make a suggestion? As you may know I follow your Twitter (*Applemcdee) and I see from time to time your Ocβs for DnD. How about making a contest each month where you select a supporter of your Patreon ( while talking with em ) and create their dnd character as the reward? This way you are showing your supporters your love while giving you a break from a task or protect for a couple of days? Ultimately itβs up to you and I wish you ensure your well being. I hope to hear from you soon! Your loyal fan!

well i dont know if twitch is the best place to stream since they hate anything sexua and they are ust incredible bad when it comes to censorship so really dont stream there for art.l you should stream in other places and i mean as long as you are happy do it im sure most dont mind waiting

Thank you for always being patience Kyle!π€
Honestly, it's understandable. Plus if you feel like waiting and doing your best is the best option, go for it. I'm not gonna complain either way because I'm used to waiting on mangas like berserk to release new chapters. Hopefully it keeps getting better and you keep doing what you love!
