September Report
🕑 Added 2024-10-07 05:35:08 +0000 UTC🎃Happy October, everyone!
Thank you so much for supporting my work this month, especially for letting me do WAY too much Atlantis fanart. :D Special thank you to the new patrons that found their way here because of said Atlantis fanart 😂💗 I'm very happy to have you aboard and I hope you’re enjoying your stay so far!
Let’s review our progress. 📈Report Time!📉
SEPTEMBER GOALS: 1️⃣/3️⃣ 😔
⏹️✅ Libby and Holly 36-40 (almost but not quite)
⏹️CYOA Pt 16
✅ ✅ Fanart poll characters complete (I overdid it)
I was disappointed to break my good 2 month streak of meeting goals, but it was maybe to be expected. I had some major delays when an urgent plumbing project in the house took 4+ days for the work to get done. I always feel on edge whenever I have people doing work on the house, the jackhammer noises and plumbing smells don't help either, but I'm leak free now, so that's good. Maybe this contributed to my fascination with Audrey this month!🔧💦
Speaking of Audrey, let’s start with the success of month-- the ✅ Fanart Characters Complete -- which was also my downfall.
I had a bad time holding myself back and the result was pages and pages of fanart instead of pages and pages of everything else. 😅
We got some Kida x Audrey
Plenty of just Kida...💙
And plenty of Helga, which was a fun departure for me- I love breaking out of the typical confines of “wholesome erotica” to draw a spicy character. Will do it again. 😤
And a slight dash of Kida x Milo
Mixed in the middle of the month was where a lot of my sketches happened. I started trying to figure out what Regency Zelda would be like a while before I finalized anything. I was kinda interested in this really pointy look for a minute, might come back to that for something else in the future....
One of the sketches I made around this time became the “Oops I’m late” doodle last Friday. I've been thinking a lot about Toriyama art again lately.
My studio helper Kit🐰 helped me separate the individual compositions of the Atlantis fanart for posting to social media.
Sometimes I'm not sure if I should share these slight variations of drawings on Patreon because it seems redundant to the original spread. What do you think?
I don’t want to spam you with multiples of the drawings, but some are slightly different from the original spreads and I wouldn’t want any of you to feel like you’re missing out when you’re paying to be here! 😀All the art from the month will be including them in the dropbox downloads for this month either way.
Technically Satyrs and fruit pinups were on the fanart list, but I have a whole satyr project planned so that itch will be scratched, if you are patient :) and fruit landed in last place, which I think means I can move on to other things.
It took me all month, but I did finally figure out what I wanted to do with Regency Zelda...
And I guess what I wanted to do was have her fall in the moat. 😅Sorry, Zelda.
Also Noi finally got some time in the fanart sun 💖 I might be most unexpectedly pleased with how these turned out, they just kinda worked with little struggle, always a pleasant surprise.
⏹️CYOA and ⏹️✅Libby & Holly are the obvious misses in September.
Pages 36-39 did get done, just very slowly. I should have known they would be finicky.
They were important to me to get right in a really particular way because it's kinda the climax of the story so far and when I am trying to get real specific interactions or gestures or expressions it doesn't always come easily. BUT I am pleased with how they turned out.
I misspelled "hooky" 🙄 I really wish PS had a built-in spellcheck
I think there are about 3-4 pages left in this chapter and I’ve got the roughs almost done! Trust me, this chapter WILL end. 😅
🎃October Goals
⏹️ Libby & Holly Ch3 Complete -I wanna get this dang book done!
⏹️ CYOA Pt 16 -This one should just be fun 😀
⏹️ Witchy Things Only Poll – I’d kind of just like to draw witchy things in my spare time this month, everyone cool with that? 😎 I'll be opening a suggestion box for characters or themes or whatever!
⏹️ Physical Comics Store - I am going to attempt to setup my store through shopify this time– it’ll be easier than Gumroad ever was, integrate directly into my website, and make shipping more streamlined too. Down the road I want to buy a nice archival printer to start making the prints that INPRNT won’t let me print 😒
Patrons will be the first to know when the store is up and running! 💖
💗Thank you all for your love and support!!!💗
You’ve said some really wonderful things about the last batch of Libby & Holly pages and it overwhelms me to know my work is enjoyed by so many people 🥹 It’s incredible.💗
Thank you.
💗Winton

Yes, physical comics will be available again once I get Libby Ch3 wrapped up and printed! So hopefully within the next few weeks!
Smella
I was wondering if there's an update on doing physical comic prints again?
Winton Kidd
Ooh yeah I relate to this big time
M
Honestly, I'm not that stressed about it, I just pride myself on being a nerd about the technical nitty gritty
Winton Kidd
Nahhh don't be embarrassed! There's so so so much to know in art and printing especially. I feel like I'm constantly learning really basic things I feel like I probably should already know. 🫠
M
I learned what giclée is today… Kinda embarassing, I'm supposed to be a professional (allegedly)
Winton Kidd
❤️ thank you Tiffany!! I think a lot of little things I learned on the other comics came together on this one! I am curious to see what would come out of focusing on something small again tho! I feel like changing format can help you find interesting new things sometimes 😌
Tiffany Salem
im looking forward to seeing what new ventures you'll be taking us on!! and i'll be excited with new libby and holly until the end of time hehe. i feel like it's the crown jewel of all your comics and feels so uniquely you!
Winton Kidd
I know what you mean, when the notifications flood in all at once it's overwhelming!! Thank you for always commenting, in spite of the volume 😁 it's always nice to see familiar faces in the comments ❤️
Fenrysk
i've been finding it harder and harder to keep up with all the patreons i've subscribed to over the years between work and other hobbies but i very much enjoy seeing yours, both the sketch pages and finished works, and all the insights on process
Winton Kidd
Ya know, she WOULD. Let's go with your idea hehe
Winton Kidd
Thank you for the affirmation Braden! ❤️ And for the support ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Winton Kidd
But if it doesn't end then I can never print it!! 😭😂
Winton Kidd
Thank you Tiffany!❤️ I'm planning a chapter 4 and while I be taking a slight break to do this little double feature comic project I won't be staying away for long :) I would miss drawing these characters too much tbh hehe
Winton Kidd
That's a relief to hear! 😁 Hopefully I can always keep things feeling fresh even if it's just the art in a new context. Sticker details will come.... Stay tuned😈
Winton Kidd
💕💕💕💕 thank you Riz!! Physical comics will hopefully come together soon!
Winton Kidd
I'm heavily tempted to do more regency stuff, Zelda or not, I just like the costume a lot😈
Winton Kidd
I was really stoked with how much people were into the fanart this month! It's nice when it feels like that art can go some different places than my normal comics stuff. It's good variety for me and for patrons! ❤️
Winton Kidd
Awww thank you Bradleigh, I'm really glad to hear it! ❤️

Holly and Libby was fantastic this month, but I really liked seeing the Atlantis art too!
Luna_de_maria
yayyy witches! I'm excited to see more Atlantis too if you do more-or Regency Zelda : )
Riz
Always down for more witches, plus it's October, if not now then when? I'm also kinda fiending for physical copies of your comics so I will look forward to that.
Violet
I love those little page variations and put of the "spammy" Patreon pages I support, I always smile when I see a notification from you~ Can't wait for more details on prints~ I hope I didn't miss out on the Fitting for a Lady stickers you were hunting at!
Tiffany Salem
youve totally outdone yourself with libby and holy so please take your time!! it's so special and i really really hope there's a chapter 4 🥺🥺
Lazarus0024
But what if we don't want this chapter to end
Braden Liatris
I personally never mind seeing all the variations, however slight—there are delights to be found in the nuances—but I can also see the argument for a curated experience in the posts themselves, especially if we'll get to see all the juicy deviations at month's end.

I assumed zelda fell in the moat on purpose, as a way to bully/flirt with link
