I was so sad that I couldn’t have any merch for the comic that is still unfinished. But then… I remembered that noone can stop me.

The entire thread as one post, for sake of ease. Link: www.patreon.com/only_jaws
Screenshot of text: 
Since January I've worked non stop on personal projects. Two comics, two zines. It is netting me almost zero money as I have nothing to actively sell. But I want to be part of a world where artists can make things again and make a living from it. I have to try.
It is terrifying and has given me literal health issues due to stress and burn out. I can not take a sick leave. I have next to no security. I am sacrificing a lot to do this. And I don't want it to seem romantic and great. It isn't. It's thankless. Utterly thankless.
But it's what I want to do. It's what I've wanted to do since I was 4 years old. And so I am asking. Borderline begging. If you enjoy what I do, supporting me on Patreon because you believe in me, my stories and my art - it helps. I need so many more patrons than I have today to make it work.
And it seems hopeless. But I am baring my heart here. I do not believe in predatory systems where artists have to run like big corpo and share their PSDs or make merch or have video calls. I want a world where artists make their craft and that is enough. So if you sign up, what you can expect is:
A lot of sketches. A _lot_ of them. Some exclusive posts (because they're either WIPs of comics or they are NSFW in which case I have to lock them by Patreon rules). That's it. Nothing fancy. 
If you read this far, thank you and here is my link:

The only terrible comic thing I'm doing today is trying to fix the first chapter 😭 (Noone's getting to my favourite, if the first one isn't exciting enough 🫠)

Joanna Ave Sępek @avejoanna.bsky.social · 22/06/2026
I have to stop telling people what I do for work, the only thing they want to talk about with artists is AI X.x Why ruin my day, every time? 😭

I know one shouldn't care about social media numbers, but I really really want people to read my comics 😭 I'm quite terrible at self-promotion. On one hand I would like to get better, but it feels icky X.x

I absolutely do want at least some people to read my comic... it makes me think I need to do something about promotion/posting more/gods know what, but the thought makes me sick. I just want to draw/write the comic, why can't the rest just take care of itself. 😭

After sketching 240 pages I maybe finally know how they look and who they are. Maybe.

Joanna Ave Sępek @avejoanna.bsky.social · 12/06/2026
Chapter 3 is completed (the sketch). My verdict after reading is still uncertain. The ending is great and there are a few awesome layout ideas, but the dialogue at the start is a bit wobbly. I have no idea how to fix it. Or am I even able to assess it so quickly after drawing 🫠

Artists, QRT with your style range! ✨

Once I'm done with the comic, I swear I'm gonna cut it all up and make an amv with some myslowitz songs and noone's gonna stop me 😭 Be your own fan or something 😅

Getting a tiny bit closer to whatever romance Im trying to write. It’s hilarious how badly I’m dealing, even though nothing of note has happened yet. What catholic guilt does to a person 🫠

Drawing comics is basically like reading them. Just slowly.

Finally thinking about some spirits that could appear in the comic 🤔 Some cutesy ones :D

Finished for now! Somewhat closer to what I want 🤔 Can't wait to see the whole chapter finished :D

Doing some tests. While feeling incredibly self-concious about the chapter's story X.x

I just saw Project Hail Mary! It was about 30% too pop for me :0 Too comfortable maybe? My expectations might have been too high, sadly :< I liked some decisions, and all the effects, but I probably wanted the movie to be something it wasn't even trying to be.

I’ve read through the scripts for all the chapters (2-6, 7-9 are not ready). 4 is up for a rewrite, but I actually enjoyed reading them! Really! 5+6 I didn't remember at all, and I loved them X.x I cannot wait for people to read the comic, aaa! It finally feels like things are moving forward. 😍

I just finished sketching out first chapter of the new comic project. I can't wait to see it finished! It is more than 80 pages, though, and it was the shortest of the scrips. Am I ever gonna finish it? 😭 Am I tying myself up for the next 10 years? X.x Anyway, have one panel :D

Somewhere on the edge of my comic thumbnails I found the last sketch of my cat I made before she passed. I miss her a lot, and I regret not drawing her more…

Finally! I feel like I’m moving forward with my ongoing long project. Im still convinced the story could use some work, but im having so much fun with layouts. Comics, my love 🥰💕

Can't wait to give my second babies (pictured here as boys in raspberries) more comic time. Soon, soon.

Joanna Ave Sępek @avejoanna.bsky.social · 12/02/2026
I've barely drawn anything past year. I keep wanting to improve before fully committing to the new comic, but also knowing that the best way to improve is to draw. This, in an endless loop 🫨 Act, don't think.

Joanna Ave Sępek @avejoanna.bsky.social · 03/02/2026
FINALLY I made a thing. I was terribly stuck last year (art-wise and in general, a terrible year overall) so I deadlined myself, so I had no other choice to do something. Just 16 pages, but I never made a zin before, so I'm excited anyway.

I miss my furry baby do much. I wished I could have just wrapped my arms around her to make it all okay, but nothing more could be done.

Since you can see the roughs for the unused single issues in the collected book, here is the unused cover for the collected :)
Through shift triangles we see a sleeping alien cat, a crash site with touling tendril ribbons and a dark forest with luminous butterflies.

I started thumbnails! They are terrible. I'm not being cutesy about it, that's just what first drafts are for. Sort of feels like I've forgotten how to do it well, but yeah, just need to do it first, and then fix it later.

Another chapter is done (fixes/changes). It seems that I have also attained some kind of process to trust, so things are getting easier ^^ I'm SO CLOSE to starting thumbnailing! 🥰🥰🥰

Joanna Ave Sępek @avejoanna.bsky.social · 08/09/2025
Almost done with new (and for now, last) script changes. It seems I'm finally starting to enjoy writing? Even fixing things that don't work seems exciting now! So much new potential each time! I really can't wait for people to read the comic 🥺 Obviously I have to draw it first :p

Joanna Ave Sępek @avejoanna.bsky.social · 21/08/2025
Writing takes so much time for me X.x Focusing on drawing is much easier, but I want to have everything prepared plot-wise first... And then life keeps getting in the way so much lately, it feels like I haven't done anything in ages 😥
