Hiatus for 4 Months
🕑 Added 2023-02-20 10:28:22 +0000 UTCBilling is paused until March 9, though I'm gonna unpause and then repause it again at least 2 days before that. If a charge manages to get through the ten seconds it's unpaused, please let me know so I can refund you. I think if you follow me on Patreon, you'll still get notifications so you can unsubscribe if you want. I don't mind.
This may be the biggest gap in-between releases since Lethe so I think it warrants an explanation. Put it simply: KK is a little too much of a good thing. Like, I get to make things the way I want to and even the most niche things still get love. I'm getting paid to make Kamidori Alchemy Meister fanart like what the shit???
KK has introduced me to a number of folks and even wound up making a friend or two. The community, at least in my experience, has been nothing but kind and encouraging. So you can see why it's really tempting to just stay in this comfort zone.
Strange as it is to say, but I feel like I've essentially achieved one of my dreams in a very small scale way.
But let's be real: KK ain't gonna be here forever, and I want to do more things beyond making 3D models, as fun as it is. Plus like, I'm trying to take the stuff I've been ignoring seriously now so that's going to be taking up my time. One creative project has been going in the background for some time now and the other is in it's planning stages. That is what I'm planning to do during the hiatus.
"Plan" being the operative word here as those three things are all varying degrees of nerve wracking. The last one especially makes my hands all clammy. Yeah I still haven't gotten over that one time I've got divebombed I know I know it's silly, which is why to me it's important to get that done.
It's like playing a horror game and seeing glimpses of the monster but it never attacks you. At a certain point, the tension becomes too much and you just charge at it to get the jump scare over with. So that's the goal: Not to make something, but to dive headfirst into my fear. You can make as much fun of me about that and it won't ever come close to the amount of times I chided myself for it. Logic simply doesn't work against the primal fear of ONE GUY(TM).
In conclusion, yeah that's what's up. As lovely as it's been, this comfort zone won't be around forever and I gotta pick up from where I left off years ago. I still have the itch to make stuff in KK so I don't think the hiatus will last that long. I'm just setting it at four months as the worst case scenario.
So yeah, see ya when I see ya~!
