Work Schedule update for what remains of 2024
Added 2024-11-29 17:40:32 +0000 UTCThanks everyone for your amazing support all this year!
I will try to leave you another update before the year ends, but right now I want to explain to you what you can expect from me from now until december 31st and the rewards that you're going most likely to see in the near future.
I still owe you all a couple of rewards from November. I intend to post the OC pinup and the Lonely Alchemist page between today and tomorrow. Sorry for the delay!
The finished version of Bethellium Chapter 3 Page 99 will most likely be posted until next week (Friday December 6th).
Bethellium chapter 3 ends in page 100, which will be posted (hopefully) by December 20th. After that I will take a small break from Bethellium pages. The idea is that the first page of Chapter 4 will update around January 31st if everything goes as planned.
Two more comic pages of Moonlace will be posted in december 13th and december 27th if nothing gets in the way.
The monthly fanart pic, OC pic and Q&A pic are going to proceed as always during December.
I will be taking the last week of December off, and also the first week of January. Since January has five fridays, I expect that my work schedule just starting 2025 should not be affected. But if something comes up, I'll let you know!
I will leave automatic updates for the couple weeks I'll be taking off, so you have more stuff to check on Patreon.
November proved to be an extremely difficult month for me, in terms of managing to maintain my schedule. I had a ton of real life incidents that removed me from the PC for a large number of work hours. As a consequence to that, I was very delayed with my regular reward schedule. I expect to fully catch up between December and January, but we'll see.
Also, I'll indeed try to take a couple weeks off to rest a bit. I've been feeling a bit overwhelmed by the amount of work I had this year (both Patreon and freelance jobs). I need a serious rest before I burnout completely. I will try to leave enough material to entertain you for what remains of the year though. I disconnect from December 28th to January 5th, when I expect to return fresh and ready to tackle a new year full of new comic pages and illustrations!
Many thanks to you all for your patience and your support!
As always, if you have questions or suggestions, feel free to leave them below.

First of all, sorry for my slow reply. I wanted to write and understand what you wrote perfectly so I could deliver a proper reply. I really want to thank you for the kind words regarding my work. I'm glad to read that you find so much good from the stuff I'm creating here. I really am trying to offer all I can, that's the only way I know to live decently and find a purpose in life. If I can, I want to keep creating stuff like this until I'm 60 or more. Just, not at this pacing, but I am indeed trying to build something for the future, so hard work is unavoidable. What you say about the mind requiring more regular small breaks than a single long one makes total sense. That confirms something I've been thinking recently about how the normal system of "vacations" doesn't seem to to any good. I'll most certainly keep that in mind and see if I can apply it to my life. I don't want to feel so burnout of this job that I will stop creating. I thank you for taking the time to explain to me what my work makes you feel, You can count that, at the very least, I'll keep doing my best effort to deliver quality stories and art.

Don't be hard on yourself, I can't tell ya to take a vacation, this is your job but you're a strong individual and will power through the strife, if begrudgingly. Strength knows strength and crazy knows crazy but I don't see crazy here. I, like many others were drawn here because of the effort that went into the writing and the art. The effort not many other artists put into their drawings and stories ESPECIALLY this consistently. I know strong minds when I see them, most people do actually but don't react to them anyway, this fandom can be quite unappreciative but thats what patreon is for, innit? That strength can focus onto work and can come through writing sometimes too like alotta 20th century writers have done (pick one). Honestly I feel spoiled sometimes when I open up an ABD story page or another character portrait (you went above the titular call-of-duty on that vulcane pic, thats the shit i'm talking about but on the art side and we get spoiled with the writing on just about everything else, thank you) It's not just smut or topless catgirls, you really are a badass writer/artist and I kinda regret not jumping on board a couple years sooner lol In psychology, to maintain a healthy psyche or w/e, its not the length of the vacation but the frequency of them; more small breaks are healthy when you're doing things you really like during them, I can personally attest to this (moonlight mechanic).
