Heavy Cream Update Announcement
🕑 Added 2015-06-11 21:41:33 +0000 UTC So as you may have noticed, the full first book has not been finished yet, and I apologize for that. Some of you are probably very disappointed and I understand your frustration. The final book has become quite the challenge for me, and once I graduated, my artistic drive has been diminished quite a bit. Call it a block, or a breather if you will, but I just have not felt the energy to actually continue yet. I feel as though it is coming back, and it's to the point where I'm actually redrawing the 16th page now, since I want it to look better, and more planned out. The end of the last few pages were rushed in order to meet the deadline for my grad show, and I really don't like the approach I was making for the series. So I've planned out how long it would take in order to get to the point where I can be happy with the book and the length of the chapter. I have planned for the last segment to be done by July 22-24. And then I wish to push the book to be completed around the 25th and sent to the printing company. It will be much more expensive than last time, since I will have more pages, and depending on who will actually want to purchase it, I have to take that into consideration when ordering the copies. I have no idea if people will want to buy it outside of you guys, and lets say a few extra people who follow on tumblr. I will be making a post about a mailing list soon in order to get names down for a pre-order (free of charge, but you may pay ahead of time if you really wish.) Anyone here will get a copy simply for being a $15+ patron, as the books will be sold for about 10 each. I need to make some sort of profit off of this in order to make this at all viable as a product. If i end up spending that much in order to make them, i'll be behind quite a bit, and lose money. I want to make this worth while but I need to make sure it's even plausible that people will want it. I understand if you want to stop supporting if you have been here from the beginning simply for the book, and you'll get one as long as you message me. But as of right now, next month will be the final deadline, and I will have at least a few books out for the Patrons here. I need to get some projections out on how costly it will be to make the 24 page books, so let me get back to you in the comments on that matter. But as of right now, i'm very sorry for the delay, and i have not spent any of the donated money, so if you really wish, you may stop supporting the book and lessen or remove your donations. However, If you wish to continue to support me, i would greatly appreciate it. I want to continue to make more content for you all, but at this rate it feels like Im either not doing enough, or not doing it in the right manner. Thank you to all of you who have supported me thus far, I appreciate every moment of it. I'll make another announcement soon with more info. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated. As well as a message with your email so I may email you updates once the book is nearing release. -MattComments

Don't worry man, keep calm and carry on, we understand the situation, your art is awesome and we know that it takes time to do it, I ll support you as long as I can tanks Matt
Hey man, its alright! As A perfectionist myself, i definitely understand the desire to make Heavy Cream the best it can possibly be. I've been super excited to see it all come together, but don't feel rushed. I've been supporting you for almost 5 months at this point and i don't plan on stopping anytime soon. You seem to have some pretty loyal fans, and I'm sure everyone here would agree with me that book or no book, we'd all still support you and heavy cream. just take some time to figure everything out, and get your mojo back!
