Big questions regarding my comic! (Patreon)

This discussion is on my discord but copying here too! https://discord.gg/j9r38eFHGS

ok!! Big question/discussion time- where I'd really appreciate some thoughts.

So I've obviously been having trouble getting to my Pallet Farm comic in full. I am really excited for the re worked ideas and it's honestly one of the main things I'd love to have some focus on for my patreon.

What I am feeling is: The monthly voted pinup is probably taking some of my brainspace/timeslot that I might enjoy using for some comic time. Even though a comic page is more work, its still just 'one line of thought' that I can focus on if that makes sense?

But I enjoy having the voting be a perk of some slots and to make people feel happy being members ect. And I fully understand not everyone is here for my comic. So it leaves me with a bit of a 'hmmmm'

Soooo one of my thoughts is, if this idea is accepted by the majority of patrons, I work on the comic one month, and do a pinup the next, alternating.

I would love to give my 'free time' to the comic in full but I've learned I just don't have the ability =3= as art is my full time job and income, if I don't focus on what brings income for me and those dependent on me, I will run out of art juice. Which sucks haha..

are there other options? Are there other passive rewards I can provide to folks when there isn't a pinup to vote on? What would you guys like? Making this a viable workplan and equitable for everyone here is what is MOST important to me.
