Whoa hey there, itâs Kinga and I think I owe everyone an explanation! Itâs going to be long, scroll down to TL;DR version if You donât care to read all this!
First of all Iâm really sorry. I was meant to go on a short hiatus for Christmas and itâs, uh⌠April now. Something went wrong here. I donât want to make this super long, so Iâll spare You the backstory and just say for the past few months I have struggled with burn out and hating my art more than I have ever have. I know Iâm not good enough to land a job in my field of study and I made way less than minimum wage freelancing despite working my ass off any way I could. I started hating drawing and mere thought of it made me miserable, so even when it was time to out of the hiatus and just really wanted to take those free weekends (which as some of You may know is the only time I used to work on the comic since itâs my personal project that doesnât really make me money) because I was so drained from doing commissions all week that Iâd go crazy if I didnât take those breaks and spent time with family etc.
Itâs not like I drew nothing tho! I wanted to post a few updates on Patreon first, since the subscribers get pages early. My plan was to have a little bit of material already done before I come back to regularly posting every week. And Iâm glad I did that because yeah, between the art thing and some personal things that happened I have just been feeling like garbage and it made it even harder to work on a comedic comic when You just kinda want to cease to exist. So there is some new updates there, and I have another one Iâm working on that will be posted Monday but not as many as Iâd like and I will wait a little more until I start posting publicly again.
I just know I canât keep a steady schedule at the moment and hereâs why; I decided to quit art as a career and got a new job that I will be starting soon. Good news is that itâs a very non-art job and Iâll now be able to only draw the things I WANT (which includes Loserdex ) in my free time and hopefully enjoy it again! The bad news is that for now itâs going to be a new thing I might need some time to get used to. I still have no clue when I can start and what my schedule will exactly be⌠and I also have a wedding in Poland I was planning to go to and I might not be able to go because of the job starting but I have no idea of knowing this now so-!! Iâm just super stressed because I donât know whatâs going on! Other than early May I will be pretty busy. Iâll either be in Poland, or starting a new job. But after that Iâm determined to come back to my own schedule and post pages regularly again! For now You can get any new pages I manage to complete on Patreon
TL;DR: Iâm a sad mess who gave up on being an artist, I got a new job and hopefully it will give me more time to actually work on my personal projects like this comic. Things are super hectic in my life now tho, so I canât update every single week until mid-May. There are however some new pages on the Patreon page if You arenât subbed to it already, and I will keep posting anything new I manage to finish there before Iâm ready to do public updates again! You can find it here: https://www.patreon.com/loserdex
I also wanted to say that after realizing how much I kinda messed up I felt super bad and guiltyâ But I went on here and Tapas and discovered a lot of people still leaving comments and asking me things etc. and it made me cry in a good way! Thank You all so much for still having interest in this comic! It might take me a little bit but Your support gives me the motivation to keep going! I will try to work on the comic regularly as soon as possible, and in the meantime reply to all the messages etc. we get on this blog! I might be a bit slow, but You deserve it because it just makes me so happy people enjoy our characters and their stories THANK YOU!!
