December Roadmap/2024 and Onward
🕑 Added 2023-12-11 08:14:22 +0000 UTCIt's...very late into December for me to be writing this, apologies. December's my busiest time of the year and it's hitting hard. Between the Patreon NSFW ban and my dog's surgery issues and such it's been a huge headache but I'm trying to handle it the best I can between the holidays.
Because I still have a ton of work to do, here's what December and 2024 onward will bring:
December:
* Finish my backlog of commissions by December 31
*Squeeze out at least one Hellish Delights page
*Catch up on and overhaul my Subscribestar (due to new art not out yet and Hellish Delights pages being out, I'll only be uploading the ones not available to the public yet and double post from here to SS moving forward
*Revamp and overhaul my Patreon tiers
*Find a better, more doable reward for kitsune tier, consider moving the headshot reward to a higher tier
*Finish handing out refunds for those I've started
JANUARY/2024
*Make Patreon/Subscribestar/Twitch my main source of income and take less commissions
*Finish Hellish Delights by March
*Resume Chemical Attraction in February the latest
*Start plotting and storyboarding the next paywalled comic/Patreon/Subscribestar exclusive
*Restarting therapy when January health insurance kicks in and then trying to get medicated. I've been off my anti-depressants and ADHD medication for almost two years due to lack of funds for health insurance and I'm REALLY feeling it
*Get a 'manager' to keep me on schedule and get a proper working schedule
*Focus more on bettering my art and resuming as much personal work as I can
*Updated references sheet for Lily
*New reference sheets for new sonas
I want to ease away from commissions this year and focus more on making Patreon (and rewards) my main source of income. I've mentioned dozens of times I'm burnt out and work's slowed down due to my disability, the burnout itself, and just lack of motivation. Art's been incredibly difficult and I know I have my own errors I need to work through. This coming year, I want to be better with my time management so that I can juggle comic work, personal work, and reward work so that folks aren't ever without their due art.
To those who've stuck by me and understood my problems--mainly the work I had to due fundraising and why I've bene so absent art-wise--thank you. Your patience and support is something I cannot thank enough. I want to be better and I'm going to do everything I can come 2024. As always, my Discord server is open for folks to use and hang out, and I hope to see the same faces supporting me in 2024. I'm going to work harder to keep that support, something I've tried to do and failed.
'New year, new me' as they say.
