Commissions in Progress
Added 2023-03-24 04:25:38 +0000 UTCIt seems like a good time to post some more of what I've been doing! I'm working on ten commissions in all, but these are clean enough to show off as works in progress. Character portraits of Philomela for our good friend Simone Spinozzi, the mysterious Ze for SueZeev, a curvaceous demoness for Hat, and MihoshiK asked me to revisit Sally Southpaw as she leaves the shower.
This is fun and fulfilling work, though things are a little tough right now, to be honest. I'm not moving as fast as I wish I could. The time I find to create seems to shrink, and I honestly don't know how I can start the new comic with my current budget. At the moment my Patreon campaign makes less than half of what it did at Zebra Girl's peak, which of course is perfectly understandable since the comic ended. I was hoping to attract patrons and start earning more once I began producing Witch Warp, but right now I'm not sure I can even get started while money's this tight. Certain issues have increased my familial responsibilities over the last few years, and I'm kind of scraping by. These commissions were a way to make ends meet, but the comic's what I'm really aiming for.
I'll make a new post soon devoted to fundraising. If I can elevate the bar to a thousand a month then I'll have breathing room and Witch Warp will finally get off the ground! And more Pook pages! And the Zebra Girl Omnibus, too! Yes, I've been writing the commentary for three and a half years. It took longer than I expected. Everything does.
Anyway, thanks for being here. For checking out my work! There's more to come. Some of these will be in color, and a couple have crazy backgrounds. I gotta make 3-D models for reference. And hey, thanks for listening! It's good to get some of this off my shoulders.
You're listening, right? Oh, of course you are. You're cool.
