🕑 Added 2023-11-30 10:38:19 +0000 UTCTLDR - Got depressed and a bit burned out, took a break, during the break I decided to hit reset! I will have content to show at the end of this year! sorry!
Hello,
First of all, I apologize for not having communicated my absence these last months. I didn’t know how to convey what I was going through but I think now I’m able to.
The reason I disappeared is because I needed a long break from everything. A year and a half ago both my dad and older brother passed away, I wasn't close with either of them but that didn’t stop me from progressively falling into a depression which started to fuel a burnout. You might have noticed that this whole year I've been delaying stuff. I was trying to pace myself and failing. I even made a post about how I was changing my art-style because I thought if I worked in a rougher, more sketchier style it would alleviate the burnout I was feeling. I was wrong. I needed to take a real break to process everything.
Some time into the break I began reviewing the work I had completed this past year with clearer eyes and I felt really unsatisfied with what I had produced. The depression had affected my work, it seems. So I had a conundrum: do I continue with what I had already created or do a big reset on everything and redo things with more thought put into it going forward? I chose the latter.
It has been a slow process retooling and redrawing my comics but it has also been an immensely enjoyable experience. In a way, not posting anything has been the greatest contributor for my enjoyment, it has given me an opportunity to adjust things to my liking without locking myself into things I retroactively start disliking, allowing me to sit with my art until I feel good about it or just scrap pages because they just don’t work. Additionally working at this pace has also been very helpful in alleviating my depression. So I hope you can forgive the long wait once again.
However you might have some questions, such as:
Why not just complete the comics that are ongoing? I'm planning on retooling and redrawing the art and story for each comic which means I can’t continue any comic I previously made. Yes, even the SECRETSEX comic which only had 1 page left. I know this is frustrating, and I apologize for that.
Which comics will you remake first? The first comics I will be remaking are: HORNYCRUSH, DOLL and ADVENTURING.
Why those three? HORNYCRUSH is my most thought-out comic so far, I also took the time during my break to re-sketch the whole comic, so I’m the most confident about this one. With the comic DOLL I already started doing a remake a while back and it has been itching at me ever since. And with the ADVENTURING comic I promised a remake forever ago and honestly I just really want to draw silly fantasy stuff.
What about the other comics? the WITCHES: luna bloem & MY ENDER GIRLFRIEND comics were originally made to be short 1 chapter stories (like the SADNESS and JESSIE comics from last year) but I want to make them full comics and that will take time. With the SECRETSEX comic I want to completely change the story. I wasn't happy at all with how that one turned out so it will take me longer to puzzle out. I also won’t be adding any new comics until I'm completely done with all of them.
When will you post the new pages? At the moment I'm working at a steady pace but I can already tell, if I want to do this the right way, it’s going to take me till the end of this year before I can start posting pages. I recommend unsubscribing if you don’t want to wait, there isn’t much I can do to hurry it up, sorry.
Lastly, I know I have left comics unfinished and I can't 100% guarantee this won’t ever happen again in the future but what I can say is that HOW I'm doing things now is completely different and I feel more positive about my work than I ever did before. But no matter what I say, really, only time will tell.
My hope is that I can create art that I’m proud of.
Thank you and speak to you as soon as possible!
PS. I have added some completed pages and rough sketches as samples for what to expect! Some of which will be changed and/or adjusted.
