So i wanted some second opinions on a thought I have been trying to decide on.

The comic project has had the major downside of being a big side project while a lot of my time goes into juggling patreon, other projects, commissions, and just trying to stay afloat financially. As such it has taken forever to chip away at, and I know folk do want me to keep at it more consistently. My original plan was to keep limping forward till enough other factors balance out to be able to consistantly spend the time it needs, but at the downside of until then, pages can be split by months from sheer lack of time.

I have been considering lately alternatives for working with the limited timeframe available, such as simplifying them to greyscale, or simpler render and such, or stay as is, etc. but since this community is made of those who support my work the most for the more personal work, I wanted your feedback on the thoughts. Any project has growing pains and learning to evaluate limits and I have to accept mine with no matter how fast I can work, i still am not fast enough to reliably work on it in the current balance in a timely manner and I am only one person.

Either way this is just a revaluation of those projects, and they will keep coming however able. Just wanted to gauge how you would prefer I take this.

So continue as is with the full work but very very slow pacing, or reduce them to something faster to fit into the gaps till a time i can crank up the quality higher again.

I think you should do the fastest so you can afford time to yourself and get by financially, with all the other art you do. You can go back and shade/ color details in later if you really liked the panel.

That's a tough balancing act to fit a comic in ontop of your frequent projects. I personally feel like you're already pretty quick and prolific. But were all bound by physics. Actions take time to complete.

theres also the option to do the greyscale and then come back to greyscale pages later to color them, which is what i assume youre referring to

Greyscale seems the best of both worlds.

I feel like a mix of both world would be best; do Greyscale for most of the comics; but then do coloring at key character moments, perhaps the fight scenes as well and ofc the chapter's finale

I threw in a vote, but I'm really okay with you pursuing it however you feel appropriate? I'm here to support your work, but the rate comic pages come out doesn't affect if I stay or go, so I'm fine with whatever you feel is the right answer for your passion project. If you want to keep chipping away at it slowly in pursuit of a vision, that's fine, and if you want to simplify so you can get the story out there faster, that's also fine by me.
