Status Update (Patreon)

Hello everybody, I hope you got to have some quality holiday time. I sure did, but man, holidays really throw me off. I've been having motivational problems. I got into that heavy spiral of procrastination, and I was a little worried that my game got thrown off completely. I haven't had a good solid studio day in a while. Which makes me question myself and my work. Procrastination plus second-guessing yourself is an evil combination.

BUT

We won't let that stop us, right? This weekend I'm going to chain myself to my drawing table and DRAW SOME PAGES, DAMMIT. This project is very important to me, and I've just got to remind myself that there are ups and downs. As a wise man (James Sturm) once said, "Some days, you just have to draw panel borders". As in, not every day will be a triumph, but that doesn't mean you stop working. 

I've also been thinking a lot about Patreon, and my approach to it. From now on, I'm going to consider this a process, a first draft even. A process you guys are supporting me through. You're going on a journey with me. I was putting too much pressure on each page being done, perfect, over, but then I realized that was paralyzing me. It's kind of weird going through the process in public, but it's also kind of cool. You get to watch my fits and starts. The Weight is not all planned out and thumbnailed and ready to go, it's changing every day. So. Thank you for tolerating me, and for supporting me. YOU'RE THE BEST. 

Oh and p.s., you'll all be seeing the pages a day before everyone else. Because you're my favorites. Don't tell the others.
