I do apologise for the slow updates. I really dislike not being clear on what is happening so I wanted to take a moment to give you all a response.
I was in a mentorship program that took up a lot of my time and slowed my progress quite significantly. However, that program is now finished and I'm back to just the one mentorship with my personal mentor again. I'll be taking up more classes here soon with them that will be a little more unforgiving but it should be much easier on my workload.
Secondly, I want to be honest with you all. I am overwhelmed by social media, streaming, and youtube. I know many people want to break out into those fields and gain an audience (and I am super thankful for that one I have found in all of you) but trying to be a streamer/youtuber on a schedule is actually impeding my progress on Josh Edition more than helping it. Due to this, I will no longer have a consistent schedule for those things (specifically youtube and twitch) and will just do them as I have the motivation to do so. I am very sorry about that and will not be upset if you wish to unsubscribe to either social channel. My goal with all this has never been to grow as a streamer or youtuber as my line of work, I want to focus on producing my art and the JE comics. This will lighten my mental load and allow me more time to think about when I want to upload a video or perform a stream. The stress has, admittedly, put me behind the schedule I wanted to stick to.
Going forward, I want you all to be aware of my intentions with this project. The JE comics will always be free (and modestly censored for social media due to the fact that JE does have some themes may be unsuitable for younger demographics). The uncensored version will only be available through the paid tier of my patreon, but the censored version will always be free and will not change the story.
In summary, this is what is happening moving forward:
- Twitch streams and Youtube videos will upload as I am comfortable to perform them. It may not be as consistent, but they will still occur.
- Previous art mentorship is finished and I am beginning a new one with my personal art mentor that will be more flexible on my time.
- JE comics are still in the making.
- JE art will still be posted as usual.
Again, I appreciate your patience with me and this project. Thank you for your support! I am confident these changes will help move things along better and get me back on the track I want to be. I'll see you all again soon!
