So I wanted to give a quick update on why BM pages are getting delayed right now:
Basically it's a combination of my current job is 50hr/week so I've not got much free time to work on BM pages (which take about 10 hours per) and also my contract at my current job is almost up and I don't yet know if they'll renew it so what free time I have is being eaten up by job hunting!
The good news is I'll know about the contract by mid-February (one way or the other free time is coming my way!) Unfortunately even if my contract is extended I'll still be working really long hours and still won't have as much time for BM, I'm torn on changing my update promise to '1 per month' instead of the current '2 per month' but I also am not quite ready to admit defeat yet, so for now I'll still keep aiming for 2 per month, although 1 per month is vastly more likely.
I think going forward, whenever I do my next webcomic project (which will probably be BM Ch 3) I will give myself more time before I post the first page so I can have more pages backlogged and we don't have these long waiting times in between the individual pages.
I was also thinking I'd start posting sketches on BM update days if I don't have the BM page ready--I've got a back log of sketches since they only take 30min-1hr and I can do them while away from my desktop (where the BM files live). I know most of you are here for BM but I hope having consolation art will make up in some part for late updates.
tldr;
My job is 50hrs/week + I'm job hunting so BM pages are going slow, things should start to pick up mid-February. I'll keep aiming for 2 updates/month but it's more likely it'll be 1/month. I plan to post 'consolation sketches' on update days so everybody can still get their sexy art fix.
