Updates, Delays, Potential Changes

Updates:

This is probably more along the line of personal stuff, but I'm sure you all have noticed my...slacking in uploads lately. I want to apologize for that. To tell the truth, I don't think I've been in a very good mental state, and I've been struggling a bit with burnout for a bit. Don't worry though, I'm still going to try to make good on this month's drawings.

While there are some potential changes (I'll get to that in a minute), there are going to be some changes that are going to go into effect soon:

• After I finish this month's features, I will be doing line only sketches. Doing them as basically mini-paintings has sucked a lot of my time up, and that effort could be better spent elsewhere.
• Finished pieces will be inked, with painted background. I've just been really on the fence about my full paintings in general, and I think that I need to back off of pushing doing them for a bit until they're somewhere I'm happy with.

Other than that, nothing should really be changing for now.

Delays:

Thanks to burnout and other personal things going on in my life, I haven't been able to get the work done on Princely Negotiations 2 that I had hoped to by this point. Unfortunately, I will be delaying that release until January 2020. I would like to thank you all in advance for your patience in waiting for that release.

Potential Changes:

To help prevent burnout in the future, I'm considering changing the format of my Patreon a little bit. A poll will be going up in a little bit to gauge interest in these changes, but for now this is a basic outline:

• 1 sketch per week (my choice, according to the monthly theme)
• 1 finished patron piece per month, on a round-robin system ($30 tier)
• 1 inked and colored piece every two weeks (my choice)
• 1 inked and colored piece per month (patron poll)
• $30 tier patrons will be limited to 4
• 1 comic page per week
• Polls will still be done monthly to chose a sketch to finish.
• There will be a bi-monthly poll to chose a given month's theme.
• Current rewards will be adjusted according to these changes.

I am hoping that with these changes, I will be able to have some more flexibility with my work, while also decreasing the workload a slight amount to increase the quality of individual pieces and provide more finished work. Other than a change to the $30 tier rewards, all other rewards should remain the same. Feedback on these proposed changes is welcome.
