October reward available on Discord

Sorry it ended up being so delayed, despite me saying last time that I was confident I could finish it back in September. I also re-uploaded the previous reward with improvements to anatomy, expressions, the perspective, and other small changes. Both rewards will be available in the monthly rewards channel for 1 week. 

I would also like to apologize for how poorly I've been doing overall this year, partly due to making the same mistakes over and over, and partly because of my health issues that I've been neglecting. To reduce the chances of running into any more difficulties, I'll really try to make sure I only do rewards that I know I can finish on time from now on(and if I do one with lots of characters, it will have fewer variations).

As mentioned last time, I am still planning a new comic, but considering how much I've been struggling lately, starting another big project might not be a very good idea at the moment. So for the next few months, it would probably be safer if I just focus on simpler rewards that I know I'll be able to manage. I've already started working on the November reward, and I'll upload a WIP as soon as I can.

I would rather not talk about it in too much detail, but I've been struggling with some health problems for quite a long time. Aside from slowing my working speed, they've also caused me a great deal of stress and lowered my confidence as an artist. Over the past couple of years its become clear that they're not going to improve on their own, so from now on I'm going to try and start making a serious effort to deal with them once and for all, then hopefully I'll be able to run things a lot better than I'm doing now.

I know I've delayed releasing the old rewards on Gumroad for way too long now, but with the problems I'm currently going through I'm afraid I'm still not ready to do it just yet(though the part about wanting to improve them first is still true). But at the very latest, I'm going to make absolutely sure that I start releasing them sometime this year not matter what(even if I'm still not feeling ready by then). I know that probably still sounds really bad, especially for people who have already been waiting forever for them, but please give me a little more time to try and sort out my health problems, or at least improve them somewhat.

There are some things I'd rather not talk about, but one thing I want to say is that making money here is not my number one priority. I just want to be able to make drawings that I can be satisfied with. If I'm not satisfied with how they turn out, I'd rather not try to profit from them, which is why I keep wanting to go back to try and fix or improve them. But I realize I've also caused a lot of inconvenience with that mentality. In future, even if I'm not happy with how a drawing turns out, I may just have to accept it and aim to do better next time.

Anyway, thanks as always for your support. I still have a lot more drawings planned for the future, and hopefully at some point I'll be able to write posts on here that aren't always full of apologies and excuses.
