November Wrap (Patreon)

Hey folks!

November was a pretty rough month for me. On top of the stressful election cycle, I had to deal with a day job again and balancing that with the art. Despite some struggles, I'm still excited to post the last page of the Souls comic tomorrow! And then, something new.

It'll still be a little while until my next comic drops. Until then, for the next five weeks I'll be posting chapters of a short story I've been working on about a Robot programmed to love man, and the Man who isn't convinced the Robot really loves him. Some of you probably recognize the first draft of this story as it appeared on tumblr. I got a lot of good feedback from that post and did some editing. I plan to publish it up on itch.io once it's done here.

In addition to planning my next comic, I'll be spending the next five weeks catching up on a lot of work I've fallen behind on, including commissions for many of you patrons. With the Souls comic finished I'll be able to devote my full attention to clearing the board and getting all caught up for the start of a new comic and a new year. Thank you for your patience as I continue to work. 

As always for the start of this month, please email me at mollyjamescommissions@gmail.com or message me on Discord with your commission info for December. 

This month will also be the last month I send prints myself. I'll be deleting the old print tier and setting up a new tier through patreon's distribution system. Which means more consistent delivery and patrons not in the US can get access to prints! Yay! We'll see how it goes as I'm still not sure how many people are interested in getting physical copies of my art, but I think it will be a good long term change.

The final print I'll be sending out this month will be the winner of last month's sketch poll, the long anticipated Halply/Karla print!

...which I still haven't finished yet!

Oof. It's been a month.

But hey. The year is almost over, and all told I picked a pretty good moment to fall behind on my work. I wont be working nearly so many hours at my day job, and finishing Souls frees up a lot of time and energy to work on other projects. If all goes well, I'd really like to do a big thank you art stream at the end of next month, where I draw your OCs and requests for as long as I'm reasonably able! That'll be the sort of thing I only do if I have everything else caught up on, but I think it's a manageable goal.

Thank you again for all of the support. Y'all are fantastic.
