A *Slightly* New Direction
🕑 Added 2021-09-20 20:51:49 +0000 UTCHello everyone!
With the year starting to wind down and with the world constantly in flux lately, I've been constantly thinking about ways to make myself and many of my followers/fans happier.
I know many of you have been following me since the days of Tumblr and I am ever grateful for your tenacious support.
And speaking of Tumblr, another thing my fans and followers have told me a lot was, 'I miss your OC's from Tumblr.'
You know what? I miss them too. I miss making jokes with them, fleshing out their stories with *YOUR* questions and input. So, let's go back to that! I want to start making small comic strips (A few panels long) like I used to do on Tumblr with my OCs. Sometimes lewd, sometimes wholesome, sometimes funny, but all the time OC focused.
And I want you all to join in on that! What I hope to do is make some new galleries (Like I have with Canada Jones) per each OC, and just start doing little comic strips with them that you all can read and even ask about in the comments. For example, Maybe you'd like to know what Lucy does on a day off? Or, what does Risky's sisters think of her?
This new direction does come with a trade-off though. I wish to make Patreon a bit more about 'My' content and less about tying myself to specific fandoms. There will still be fan art, absolutely. The monthly GIF can still be characters from any franchise, along with the Timelapses. I just wish to bring back a bit more of what people enjoyed about my old work, while keeping what you expect from me here alive. This may mean that I don't continue the Jester Comic, but this also means that my content will hopefully no longer be flooded by a specific series.
tl;dr - My old OCs are coming back in the form of little gag comics, think webcomics, and I want you all to be able to ask my OC's questions again to inspire new comic gags! Patrons will be able to influence comics and get them much earlier than the public - I want Patreon to be more about my original stuff than tying myself to a fandom. Fan art is still a thing I will do, don't worry!

I do understand, I def don't want to just throw it away, but I was sure to make sure I got a 'complete' chapter done in case I couldn't handle much more of it. If my Patreon does improve and start to cover more of my basic bills, I can take less commissions and be spread less thin so I can do more of these projects ^.^

I do understand - I wanted to for sure at least finish the 1st chapter so there was a nice 'complete' story in case I just couldn't handle it anymore. And honestly, if my Patreon starts covering more of my life expenses, I can definitely keep doing Jester too. The less commissions I need to breech the gap, the more I can focus on these other projects without getting spread too thin.

I really want you to do what you want to do, but I would be really sad if the traveler comics stop completely, you did such great justice to it all.

Full support for doing what's best for yourself and the community, but I do want to throw my hat in the ring for more the the Jester series.
As someone who rarely interacts with creators, I needed to say THIS is what I follow you for! Your fan art is still (very much) appreciated, but Risky's the reason I started following you in 2017! Continue drawing what your heart tells you to, but very excited to see this post!
