Im tired

:iconcarlos-the-g:

I’m tired. I keep working my arse off trying to improve My Pet Succubus but I just don’t seem able to stop its downhill slide.
I tried changing the format several times but all it does is lose me readers. Then I go back to the old format and... I still lose readers.
I think my creative peak is behind me and I just can’t make good things anymore.
Perhaps I should simply accept that I’m just not cut out for this and I’ve done as well as I could. To continue fighting this thing feels kind of pointless as it is becoming quite clear that I can’t win.
My Pet Succubus is a good a comic as I can make and that’s kind of depressing.
Questions is, should I bail out gracefully? Or should I keep going in hope if turning things around?

Glad you're still making My Pet. I know you get frustrated. Just know we're here, and we keep watching. I know I always enjoy it when you put out a new comic.

Hey, I have been a fan of your comics ever since I discovered the first few chapters of My Pet Succubus.  Being naturally inclined to then binge all of your work I tried as hard as I could to find your older comics like Lowroad, The Smashing Adventures Of The Bottomleys, and Giselle.  Unfortunately all of the downloads for the archives that I could find seem to be broken.  Is there any chance of them being fixed?  The most recent one I could find seems to be these ones (leth.smackjeeves.com/Oldcomics…) but they link to a nonexistent site.

Awesome comic. Awesome art, and an awesome sense of humour.
I'm glad to have found you in my web meanderings.

Hey just wondering, why do you keep all your adult material behind a paywall? I'd be more inclined to support you if I could at least see what I'm supporting know what I mean? Lol. I mean Doxy, Norasuko, Incase and others don't, and there thriving. In fact it's because Doxy/Onta puts out his stuff that I support him and buy his stuff. 
I guess what I'm trying to say is, your work is amazing, but because you put it alllllllll behind a paywall I'm less inclined to donate to your patreon... tbh it gives off the impression you think your art is better then say Norasuko or Shadmann or the others in the adult community.... I'm positive that's not what you intended... but still.

I'm not good enough for people to feel inclined to give me money just because I'm awesome.
I do a full colour comic on my spare time which is about 2 hours a day. I'm working on it 5 out of seven days and I put it for free for everyone to enjoy. 
I do an adult side comic which is what brings in money and justifies the amount of time I spend drawing comics and eases the stress of a mortgage and bills by a small amount.
The truth is, when I was just making My Pet Succubus, I had about 20 patrons with about 20-25 dollars per month. The adult comic increased that figure by about 2000%.

The unromantic truth is that I'm making a product and it's metric fuck-ton of work. I'm neither talented nor popular and frankly, there are days when I'd rather be playing games than spending all my available time drawing pages, working on scripts and testing multiple punchlines.

If I was in a comfortable position where I didn't care either way, I probably wouldn't even be doing adult stuff... not on a regular basis anyway. But things are what they are.

Holy spaghetti i didn't even know you were Chilean till now, and live in  Australia Sydney too?! i've seen a recent spike in Chilean animators in youtube but this is pretty unique coincidence, its rare to see young people move from Chile to Sydney Australia.
