(Got this ask before the post from today but didn’t get to respond to these the other day because I was streaming.)

My specific issue was that my income was cut by almost half for the past 10 months. (30% percent)

At the volume I usually did and needed to take to still cover my expenses, rent and provide refunds, THAT was a pretty big deal. (It was never meant to be a problem, but I slipped up.)

=============================

But I do get what you mean about creating content that can continue to be bought waaaay after it’s been finished. (a decent foundation/something to fall back on, outside of commission work & patreon.)

That is my plan alongside uping the content quality and wanting to do my own stuff. (Hell i jokingly said i’d like to make a smolder butt mouse pad/shirt someday. But i kinda meant that.)

I wish to do mostly comics that I can put on the side. ($1 – $4 a completed comic or even an image pack of set characters.)

Though you may be overestimating the willingness of those that would ACTUALLY buy it or even like it enough to support. (Basically: just because X amount of people likes something, doesn’t mean the same amount of X people or even close to that amount will buy the content.)

I don’t know yet how well these things will do when they are done. 
Considering I have yet to / hardly finished any to completion or even test those waters. (The closest things would be the recent comm for Ken and the Smolder short comic a long while back.)

I still don’t know the full scope of the audience I have / will have that enjoy the work enough to willing support it AND buy it.

BUT it is still something i want to and plan to give a shot. A proper shot.

I have both a Gumroad and E-junkie accounts already registered for months now so I’ll have places to sell content eventually.

When I get to it and ACTUALLY get to it.
I’ll be set.
