Behind the Scenes #31

I was truly inspired by the short movies Studio Trigger did and when the TV Series was announced I literally started drawing it. I was originally planning to make a finished product then sell it in early access again just like I did with Haruhi a year earlier. Unfortunately, the anime quickly showed off so many flaws and got so bland and boring (for me, at least) that I completely lost motivation to keep drawing (you can see how the quality quickly declines after page 15, especially on the backgrounds).
I took a break from drawing this comic after 15 pages, then came back to it a while later while opening Patreon again, for real this time. The first Patreon campaign was not very successful: there were just a few bland sketches and not even a proper comic being delivered daily, I think there was maybe a couple of pages for DQ:N during weekends. Thanks to Diaper Witch Academia things went a lot better and it helped Patreon grow steadily. I am immensely grateful to all the people that decided to join during the DWA period, which was basically the start of everything as you know it today.
By the way, Merry Christmas folks!
