OatF GN Pg 9! Plans, Polls, and Questions (Patreon)

Magus and Adept LTS Folders have been refreshed! New links should be in your Messages. 😁

I plan on spending the next few months solely dedicated to TRC. I've been getting distracted with things like First name, Second name, and Goldilocks. Coupled with The Witch's Offering and Tower of Prentas, I think these distractions are hurting my Patreon growth. For now, I plan on setting everything aside, except maybe another chapter of ToP since that's for you guys only, and focus on getting Kal to Ikuno.

Now for the hard part 😅

Art has become a large expense lately. Bun recently increased her prices and is working with me to continue doing character art on (roughly) a monthly basis. On top of that, the OatF Comic pages aren't exactly cheap. Okay, to be fair, Tort9 is giving me a great price per page, but I'm not making a ton of money, so it doesn't feel cheap to me.

Bottom line: I'm struggling.

However, I hesitate to back off on any of the art because I have gotten a lot of fantastic feedback from it.

In the poll below, I'm curious if you would be okay with a single charge for the first commissioned art piece during the month. The following month, this would all go toward art commissions and nothing else. Although I would like to be as transparent as possible, Patreon doesn't break down income by "Per content post," and I would be stuck guessing at the amount. But for now, I'm figuring it would translate into 3-4 OatF Comic pages per month. 

If this isn't acceptable or you don't feel you can afford it, then I'll keep trying to muddle through as best I can. I have the side job doing freelance editing to keep things going at the current pace, but that won't last much longer (Don't be surprised if you see me on Fiverr once it runs out 😁). 

Remember, this is just a poll to get your opinions, as I'm sure I have missed some important point or tidbit of information when thinking this through, and any comments, concerns, or suggestions are extremely welcome and appreciated.
