Content

Hey everybody, I'm currently working on the colors for the 10th page of Siduri's Wager, it should be out today or tomorrow and I wanted to take the opportunity to touch base with folks. I'll try not to get too personal here but I wanted to get a couple things off my chest.I know my output isn't as fast/consistent as other artists. It's due to a combination of mental health stuff, physical health stuff, and a little bit just how my process works. I'm always trying to improve in areas that need improving and that includes consistency. It's not to say I don't work hard at my art but my experience of doing art has always been that of wading through mud: slow, difficult, but oddly satisfying.

 I want to be in a place where none of this is an issue some day but right now I want to ask you, the folks who donate to me and let me live out my dream of making art without having to take part in an industry I couldn't hack it in, how you're feeling about being patrons. I don't think I'm ever going to be a CONTENT CONTENT CONTENT kind of artist but I'd like to know if you're feeling frustrated.So I suppose this is partly maintaining expectations (I hope that isn't a tone-deaf thing to say) but also, yeah, you guys give me money and I don't wanna take that for granted. So feel free to comment here and say how you feel about being a patron here at ThirtyHelens.

Your art is ALWAYS top tier and your content is amazing. Waiting a little longer for something like that will always feel worth it.

Your stuff is great and output speed is just fine. The quality of your art is fantastic. Ive never thought it was slow or too little. Just excited for the next peice.

Love your comics

Honestly I'm just happy that you're able to keep making art. I hate when good and promising artists give up because they can't cut it in the upper professional space, and I love supporting the artists I enjoy seeing grow. If anything your productivity out does a few people I follow, so the fact that you're still apologizing for even being as paced as you are is amazing. Your art style is unique and wonderful, the content you create is a niche (yeah, this is kinda a dual edged blade), and the sense of unique thought you provide is refreshing. You're awesome, and I would probably still be subbed to you here even if you uploaded once to twice a month at most. You're a star!

It's a turbulent time for everyone right now. Go at the pace that's most comfortable for you!

Coffin Nail

So far so good. If you're looking for suggestions, maybe it could be nice to post some more sketchy one-off images, or warm up sketches between the more polished comic pages? I'd even be interested in seeing practice images or doodles even if they're not lewds haha. I love your style and I'm glad to be helping support your fantastic art!

I feel you on the mental and physical health, but honestly your art is worth the wait and I think you've been doing a great job of communicating in the interim

By and large I support people through Patreon because I want them to be able to continue to create. It's not about the frequency with which they create. I support so that you have the freedom to work on your art in a way that's good for your mental and physical well-being.

I think you're doing a fine job. Art takes time and effort and I think that goes double for comics or graphic novels. I feel content with your work and as long as you're not over working yourself I think you should keep this pace.

Happy patron here! Art takes time and everybody has a process, times right now are bad and weird, and it's important to take care of mental and physical health even when the world's not falling apart around us. The pace of releases is A-OK and absolutely worth waiting for you to get things finished the way you want them before publishing.

MeowMita

I love supporting your work, please take the time you need!!! Mental health struggles really suck, esp right now so it's totally understandable.

Juni Huber

It's simple, I like your stuff and I am here as a patron so you can make your own pace, do your thing. This is completely fine with me.

JoJo

I appreciate the art that we're getting, specially considering before signing up for the patreon, I used to just bum it off for free.
