Happy New Year everyone, and what to come in 2026
🕑 Added 2026-01-05 22:19:05 +0000 UTCHey guys!
I know this post comes a little late, but my new year started a bit rought with the damn flu. I still want to wish everyone a Happy New Year. I hope everyone had a great Holiday with your family and/or friends and I hope 2026 will be an even better and more successful year for all of you.
I want to thank everyone the fantastic 2025 here on Patreon. Without you, none of the comics would be possible. You are the best audience an artist can wish for, and this is why I feel so bad for not be able to giving anything nearly close to a stellar performance in the past months.
I'm well aware the slowed down production output and the frequent delays on new updates. I'm really happy that so many of you still remained a supporter despite the current state of things and my shortcomings, but I don't want to take it as granted and certainly don't want to test anyones patience. In fact, I really want to put things back on track how it was before and even try to win back the favore of those who might be angry or disappointed with me. This is my new years vow. I know people can rarely keep them, but I will try to work on myself to get back into a better mental state.
I have so many plans and ideas to create... but I know I must try to keep a realistic approach and focus on things. For this, I will only focus on completing ongoing projects first and will not start anything new until the ongoing 3 comics are finished and then work on that one community vote winning comic from so long ago.
The second thing I want to work on is the length of comics. Maybe i'm alone with this, but I feel like the length of my works really went out of control, unless you like the longer format. Please let me know what you think about this.
When i'm done with the ongoing projects, I want to start a new format of comic creating. I aways want two projects in work at a time. One as a longer vote on comic, and the other one as short or mid length $10 backer comic.
YES! Hopefully I can finally bring back the revard for the $10 tier this year once I have worked off the huge backlog of comics i'm rolling before me.
As for the first thing this month, I keep working on the Halloween comic... in January... yeeeah... The year start promising... But I will do my best to finish it as fast as possible. I think I will have new update on Monday.
I hope you will like the plans I have and please wish me luck so I can make them real. Let us all have an amazing 2026. I raise my glass to all of you amazing people :)

I'm doing my best to have something out very late tonight, but it's not impossible that only tomorrow. We'll see how much progress I can make today.

I’m a little late to this, but of course I want to wish a Happy New Year to everyone, Sitri especially! For my two-cents; I don’t think any of us would complain about the volume of content you provide per month, but I’d also speak on behalf of a lot of subscribers when I say we don’t expect you to pump out 90+ pages per week. As with all forms of art, it takes a lot of time to create. Setting yourself achievable goals that help with productivity, like how many pages you want completed per day/week. I’ll always be pleased to see you stepping back into unfinished comics, and I’m especially looking forward to seeing them completed so that we can get onto the new stuff! A good goal to keep would be to make sure a script is air-tight before starting on a new comic, which could help with minimising the unnecessary bulk. For me, the best examples of shorter but effective comics you’ve released recently were ‘(Mis)Fortune Cookies’ and ‘One Hell of a Special’. They both have a setup to the plot and characters, and then jump straight into the TF’s. I don’t have a problem with your longer comics, but shorter ones doesn’t always mean that they aren’t as effective. The main thing for 2026 should be, don’t overwork yourself! I really hope that by the end of the year, you can find a healthier relationship to your work so that you feel more productive and don’t experience too much burnout! As always, looking forward to seeing what you do this year! <3

Thank you, I appreciate your opinion. I will really try to reduce the length as much as possible. I hope I can do it.

Your average comic should be like, 1/3 the length of what it is. It's harder for you, and it's not better for the reader.
