Supporter Newsletter - May & June, 2022


Last month I didn't write one of these because I didn't have much to talk about really, so I decided to leave it to this month and summarize everything.

General Updates


I started doing a lot more sketches lately as you may have noticed, and I've decided this is mostly how I wanna move forward. Some of those sketches will definitely become full projects but at least now I have stuff to fill in the gaps in between said projects, since sometimes it takes me a long time to finish something. I'll try to keep a schedule for them here, but be posting them regularly on my Discord server.
I'll still be posting separate WIPs however, if I happen to have an idea that I am 100% sure I'll pursue as a project (like commissions, or special occasions).
I've been keeping a close eye at the progress/feedback I achieve/receive from my platforms (Patreon, SubscribeStar and Fanbox), and I can't help but feel I'm doing something wrong. I even created more tiers/price options to ease people into stuff if they don't feel so sure about supporting me fully. But maybe my content just isn't interesting enough, or maybe I don't post enough, it's hard to tell. I might have to start being more aggressive with my self advertisement, but it is very challenging to try and find a good balance to it, since I know how constant ads can be annoying and don't wanna overdo it. Or maybe I'm just too naïve or  just don't have what it takes... 
In terms of productivity, I've been trying to set up a schedule/routine for myself and follow it for the past 2 months and also have been doing exercises to counter my ADHD and make myself more productive. It's hard to keep at it but I'm trying my best. For now I suppose I just gotta keep pushing myself and see if I get better at some point. I'll also be posting some of those sketches I mentioned previously on Twitter and stuff, just to get my name out there more often and not become irrelevant.
Sometimes I can't help but feel like this is all futile... But I try to brush it off as much as I can, and to not stress myself over it too much, although it can get to me from time to time, which in turn can cause me to get demotivated.
But well I'm not giving up just yet, so if any of you reading this have any feedback or suggestions to me in regard to any of these things, feel free to let me know in the comments or on my Discord, any help and feedback is welcome!
