Update about the Sketch polls!
Added 2024-08-01 15:54:16 +0000 UTCHello guys! How are you all doing?
I'm writting this update to inform about a decision I made of putting an end into the "Sketch Polls" I did from the last one year and a half.
Now, don't you worry: the Patreon Project proceeds as planned.
In the last few months, I've been dealing with a lot of stress lately with some real life circunstances that ended up taking a toll in the long run. I though I could keep up the pace and deliver both the Patreon Projects and Sketch Polls as I always did, but as the year passed by, things didn't improve.
Soon enough, I started to get stressed: this attracted some health problems I didn't have, coupled with my enjoyment of drawing wavering. I will never forget the day I hold my pencil and my arm started to shake just for being anxious.
I'm sorry for let you guys down on this one. I loved the interaction you guys throw at the polls with so many characters I never heard or though on drawing before. It was good for expanding my horizons, but at least for now, the Sketch Polls are more of a source of stress than fun.
This month, I will be focusing on personal projects I had to hold because of the sketch polls. I wanted to make more art featuring the usual suspects (Ellie, Alicia, Loren, etc...) and drawings of characters I did in the past but neglected (Neeko, Qiyana, some Elden Ring, DbD). Some of these WIPs are already up in the Discord server.
Moving forward, I will be replacing the sketch polls to a more diverse set of polls, like in these examples: ([1] [2], [3]) and perhaps, try more experimental projects. These will shake things a little bit, bringing something different each month.
As always, I wholeheartedly thank all of you for the support!
