Finally sketched something for the first time in weeks without wanting to throw up or cry and I had to doodle an AU where Mika is a soldier. Purely an excuse for me to draw him in formal wear.

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:

If people could share this so at least one new person finds the press that would be appreciated. I'm putting boots to the ground with marketing efforts and the likes and of course, I have to bend the knee and use social media to do (some of) it.

Hello! Akira here.

How We Made the Moon Cry is currently live on Kickstarter, and we still have a significant journey ahead of us. I would like to address a curious inquiry regarding our reward tiers:

"Why are there so few extras?"

The short and simple reason is moneyt As an indie publisher, each additional item, whether a bookmark or an alternative cover, increases production, procurement, and shipping costs. These additions necessitate a much higher funding goal as well.

While I would enjoy offering a wider variety of prints, stickers and bonuses, my priority is ensuring the project remains sustainable by focusing our budget on artist and book designer costs. The book itself is the highlight of this Kickstarter and represents the culmination of everyone's hard work.

We have approximately 20 days remaining in the campaign and around $6k to reach. We need your continued support during this final stretch to ensure this project reaches the finish line. Every pledge brings us closer to making this book a reality!Hello! Akira here.

It reads: Minor villains dungeon-crawling their way to a happy ending.

On the run from an entire kingdom that wants them both dead.

This guy (the wretch) helped raise a Chaos God to bring about the end times (he's not coping well)

This guy (the traitor) tried to kill the Prophesized Hero (it ended badly)

Enemies-to-Lovers

Go on a quest they are wildly unqualified for, apparently

This novella can fit so many illustration in it.

Evil wizards, corrupt kings, vengeful spirits, and one very tired skeleton.
