More progress on Bastila here. Face is still early progress, so might tweak it before the end... I'm playing around a bit with how I draw faces and especially eyes, so things are bound to be revisited many times until I'm happy. However, as you can see this pic is far from done and we're already into february... In a perfect world this pic should've been done a week ago, and I should only be working on the variations for the three pics for January. Sadly not the case and yet again I find myself scrambling like a mad man to get it all done, and I end up being well into the next month before I can get properly started on that month's art. 

As many of you know I don't only do Patreon stuff, that's simply not something I have the guts to rely on since you have no idea when this thing just suddenly goes away. Which means that at the end of the day I don't always manage to get these three drawings done on time. Soooo, what all this means is in february I'll only commit to two drawings in my typical detailed style. There might be a third one in a more sketchy style, but two fully rendered pieces is what I'll promise.

There was a time I was playing with the idea of going for the pay per creation, which meant that you only paid for each finished drawing and didn't maybe feel you got stiffed if I didn't do three... How that also works is that you as a patron can set a limit to how many creations per month you were willing to support, even though I would probably do about 2 drawings per month. I would probably also have lowered the fee. But dunno, didn't seem like the majority of you were into that businessmodel.

Personally I’m more of a fan of monthly payments. Also I prefer quality over quantity so I really don’t mind if you only get two done in a month from time to time. Doesn’t feel like a let down at all.

Monthly is best I feel and we’re happy to support you. Art can’t be rushed and life is busy we understand.

Keep things like they are now! Iam fine with how things are now! Your high quality art is always worth to wait! Keep up the great artwork! 😁👍🏻

I’m fine with two pieces if you’re busy. I don’t think you should feel rushed quality over quantity. P.S. love the legs and feet on this piece.

Well, I can't speak for anyone else here, but I don't support you because I expect a certain amount of artwork from you every month. I support you because I'm a huge fan of your art. If you couldn't turn any work at all out in a month, so be it. Sometimes life gets in the way and shit happens. I'm not saying I'd keep donating in perpetuity if you stopped posting altogether, but don't burn yourself out trying to meet unrealistic deadlines you've set for yourself. It's that type of shit that WILL make you want to quit. Just my two cents.

Eeveryone has touched on points I wanted to say 😅 to which I'm happy to see us band together in support of you KJ. You deserve it!

I echo all these previous sentiments. I would rather have two pieces that you are really happy with than 3 that you felt you had to rush out.

I also can only chime in on the same points. I'm NOT sitting here like "Jimmy better get 3 of these done, or else I'll cut my support!" I'm here to support your art and I want you to be able to enjoy doing it, not only being stressed out if life gets too busy at times. Having tried myself at painting (much more amateurishly than you), I know first hand that a lot of work goes into painting things with fine, realistic details, so I know that you're doing a lot of work, even if your experience is making it more efficient than my attempts had been. Don't feel too bad if you don't always get as much done as you had planned, especially when other things in life need taking care of. I wouldn't want your mental health to suffer because you're having a sense that you're failing us, when you are actually working really hard.

I prefer monthly. Even same price if 1 draw.
