Sometimes I get emails from people asking me why it's taking "so much time" before I update *insert title here*, why I don't add more of *insert title/genre here*, etc. etc. And instead of answering these emails over and over, here's an article telling you why things simply take time.
1. I RUN THIS SITE FOR FREE This means several things. It doesn't only mean I pay website bills, it also means that I don't get an income from my site (well, not enough to live off of, at least, considering the low price of Horrorlove Hotel bookings and custom hentai art orders :P) and that again, means I have to go to work to earn some money so I can pay bills and buy food and such. This does, of course, give less time left for drawing free art, and I need to focus on art that actually brings me an income so I can pay my bills (art for Ero-Mania).
2. NOT GETTING PAID = NOT RUSHING THINGS When you have a job you're getting paid for, it can often be justified if you have to work a little extra getting things done, and working on things you don't want to do, like how I spend a lot more time creating stuff for Ero-Mania. But since I do the art I put up here for free, it means I can't rush things. If I don't want to work on a certain project, I wait until the day I want to. Rushing things just gets you tired of it all, and what I want with my site is having fun and do exactly what I want when I want - not killing myself from overworking with things I don't enjoy and don't get anything in return for.
3. I DON'T WANT TO WORK ON EVERYTHING ALWAYS I have several comic projects and other things I work on. And no matter how much I enjoy these, it doesn't mean I wanna work with them every day. Sometimes, I'm simply getting a little tired of a certain project, and have to put it away for a while. I'll never know for how long. And of course, this might cause delays and projects not being updated very frequently.
4. I TRY TO DO MY BEST WHEN I CREATE SOMETHING If I rushed my art, I would be able to have very frequent updates. However, I just won't do that. What's the point in creating art, if I don't try doing my best all the time? And if I don't try to do my best - how will I be able to improve? Now, creating a comic page as an example, consists of several steps that all takes time. The sketch, the pencil drawing, and then the coloring. The coloring takes a lot of time. Of course I would be able to do it much faster...if I just used the "fill each area with one color" technique. So why don't I do that to spare time? Well, here you can see why:
The last example is a page from the hentai comic "Knight X Tales - First Adventure", and the first example is the same page how it would look if I just used the "fill area with color" quick-and-simple technique. Sure, it doesn't even use half of the time the other in-depth shading technique does...but what's the result? Something that just looks flat, uninspired and unfinished. I simply can't make myself do stuff like that, when I'm able to do it better.
5. AND THE LAST THING... ...is that I have a life outside of the internet that requires time also. Live with it :P
