Hi everyone, Patrick here. Firstly I'm truly sorry for the long absence, especially to those of you who stuck around with us. This is going to be a long post as there's a few topics I want to cover.
Absence
Without getting too personal a family member of mine died earlier this year. I took it very hard. For a time I stopped drawing. I stopped going out. I spent almost every day drinking. I became a cynical, miserable person, and I'm sorry to anyone who had to be around me.
Throughout these last few months I did attempt drawing, but there was always some mental roadblock preventing anything from being finished. I would start and restart entire comics multiple times, never sharing anything outside of occassional streams in our now-deleted Discord server.
It wasn't until recently that I've been able to draw and feel happy doing it again. I've cut down on the drinking, tuned out social media entirely, and I'm going out more. My passion for art has returned in full force.
Future Plans
We're back on track with our usual projects, and some new ones. Despite my absence these last few months, there was plenty of unfinished art created, and foundations were laid for things we think everyone's going to be excited about, most of all myself and 18.
SF6: We went back to the drawing board for this one and really ironed out where we want the series to go and what the focus should be, and that's going to be reflected heavily in our next chapter, featuring Cammy. We'll be holding proper polls and discussions about it after the chapter is out.
2069: Again we went back and examined where to take the series, and decided on a focus. Originally our end goal was to create longer, manga-style chapters, but we've decided to instead focus on shorter, colored stories with animation, as it keeps things more fresh and fun, and trying to cram the juiciest bits into a few pages is a nice challenge.
Other: SF6 and 2069 will continue to be our two main projects since that's what we're most passionate about, but there's also times when we simply want to draw a butt or break up the pace with something different. So on that note, you can still expect different types of fanart from us, althoughy the scope will generally be smaller.
Discord: Our old server is gone for good. We're starting fresh. The updated link should be on all our socials, although if you're supporting you should join through the official SubscribeStar invite to receive your role.
Tier Changes
Since we understandably lost many supporters this year, we figured now is a good time to refresh our supporter tier layout. Nothing too drastic, just minor adjustments and name changes to make our lives easier and more accurately reflect the current content. The biggest new addition is scrapped sketches to the $10 tier. Please look over the updated rewards.
Archives
We've prepped several archives, containing much of our work from the last 3 years, including a ton of scraps and WIPs we've never posted anywhere, even in previous compilation packs. These will be uploaded over the next week or so, so please look forward to that.
Thank You
That should cover everything. Again, I'm deeply sorry for everything that happened. It's now time to prove my worth as both an artist and a person. Thank you to everyone in FCC reading this, and thank you to every supporter. You've kept me going more times than I can say, even if I don't say it.
