I'm back!

It's been a rough 2 years. I could have spent the year and a half of unemployment working on my comic, but depression hit me like a truck. I've felt a lot of guilt about not working on my comic, especially after I finally picked up some patrons with my $1 tier. I actually drew this comic last year, but going through the process of scanning it, uploading it, and working on all the HTML for a new web page just felt like a lot of work. Then I had to move, and I don't have a workspace set up for my computer. I bought a new laptop with the stimulus money, but I couldn't get Photoshop to work on it due to Adobe closing down the servers for registering older versions of their software, and I don't get enough out of it to pay their subscription fee for their current software. I use that program to get the colors looking right after I scan the original comic, and so it's taken me some time to get motivated enough to get my older laptop setup and working.

I did start working last year, and that has eaten up my time, but one of my clients died last month. It's been horrible, and I'm still trying to process it. However, it has freed up one of my days, and I have decided to use that free time to work on my comic again. I will try to stick to it and release a new comic every week, or maybe every other week, depending on how things work out.

I feel like I have no right to ask for money anymore considering how bad I've been at keeping up with my comic. I do appreciate the patrons I had for a time. You helped me to page for my domain name renewal last year, and I still have some money saved up from those pledges to help me keep the website up when both the domain and hosting are up for renewal next year. If you do want to hel me, there are several ways you can. First, I do still have some designs up in my store on Cafepress. Just click the Store on the top menu of this page and it will take you there. I have a number of pretty cool designs up there that you can get on T-shirts and other things. Secondly, I am on Patreon, a site for artists to get donations from their fans to help support their work, generally in exchange for incentives. I offer several incentives on my page.

For $5/month, I will hand draw a holiday card for you for every holiday you choose. They can be personalized to you or for whomever you would like, or left blank for you to personalize yourself for anyone you choose to gift it to.

For $15/month, I will immortalize you in my comic. I will create an illustration of you and include you as a character in my comic. In addition I will send you a full color drawing of your comic character.

For $25/month, I will send you one of the original copies of one of my comics. You can choose which comic you would like out of any still in inventory. Currently, you can choose any comic you'd like, as I still have a full inventory.

And finally, for $50 a month, I will begin a new webcomic, adult and BDSM themed, that will be exclusively for fans who support me on Patreon. I will create 1 comic a month for each $50 pledge (up to one for every day of the month), and you will receieve the original copy of the comic you paid for (only for the first 28-31 supporters). If money is tight, I also have a $1 pledge on my Patreon page that doesn't offer any perks, except for an eventual complete collection of my comics on site, email notification whenever I post a new comic (if I remember to announce it on my Patreon), and maybe some other things I might post on my Patreon page for patrons only.

If you just don't have the money to help support my work, you can help in other ways. I don't have much money for advertising, so I rely on word of mouth to gain more readers. Share my comics on Facebook, Twitter, and other social networking sites. Vote for my comic on topwebcomics.com. Tell your friends about me and give them my web page information. The more readers I have, the more support I can likely receive. Thank you so much in advance! I love all my readers.

Please vote for me on topwebcomics.com. If you love this comic as much as I do, please take the time and help support my comic by helping more people find it. It's quick and easy to vote, and you can do it once every 24 hours. After playing around with the voting myself, I've discovered that you can only vote once per location, not device.
