tl;dr: February got too few days, gonna try to do only 3 updates. Feeling like I must focus a bit on sharpening skills so I'd like to try to quick fire a lot of simpler/rougher pieces for next Update. Would you guys like that?

Hey all, I had been planning to make 4 Updates this February, but being the shortest monthlet with it's pitiful 28 days, it's been saturating my days with potentially burnout levels of worktime. Therefore I think it's best to aim to do only 3 Updates this month.

With the extra time I've got I'll rest my brain a bit and get some much needed practice done, I really want to spend some quality time sharpening my skills, as the older patrons among you have heard me say like a million times already haha.

Ideally I'd like to be able to continuosly learn and grow as I do my Patreon work, but the pieces I do are so damn time consuming that I just don't get enough drawing done. It's hard to learn much when I only draw like 3 pics a week, and I usually have to play it safe any way, so I never learn or try anything new.


So, I'd like to go balls to the walls for Update 84 and bring you guys a lot of simpler and/or rougher single pieces instead of the usual complex refined sets.

What kind of artwork would I like to do for it?

  • Simple and/or rougher single version pics like Misc. 1 2 & 3 (maybe rougher).
  • B&W (or color) Comic pages.
  • Refined linework pieces (would be fun to really work on lineart and learn to do it better).
  • Refined paintings (can work a lot on a sinlge pic if there's no versions to draw).
  • Paintings in different styles and color palletes.
  • Simpler coloring styles.
  • Probably other things I haven't thought of yet.

All of them would be NSFW, but I may keep some of them just lewd (Nude/exposed, just no actual sex acts happening).

I'd also try to focus on fanart first and OCs second, no random girls as I've noticed they aren't nearly as popular, unsurprisingly.

Of course, I'd also do at least 1 commission, don't you worry commissioners.

I think I'd be able to do at least 4~5 single pieces for the Update if I do things this way. Although I wouldn't be surprised to do many more depending on the level of roughness.

I believe doing this is good for multiple reasons. By getting out of my comfort zone I'd learn new things that'd improve my future work, I might get faster (meaning more art per Update), it may relieve some stress of the usual sets and, honestly, I'd be a lot of fun.

At least that's the hope. I'm only doing this work because you guys like what I do, so I think it's only fair that I ask your opinion before I try something like this. So...

Would you guys like me to try doing lots of quicker and/or rough pieces for next Update or would you rather have it be a normal one with the usual sets?

Go for it Neo. Go for ideas or practices that would improve your art skills. I believe Data Chan would be happy to see the results.

No problem with rougher here. Also personal preference would be toward more comics, rather than multiple variations.
