... I can feel myself summoned back.
Dear Supporters,I'm feeling better now and I'm about to come back in October.
I'd like to thank everyone for all the kind words and wishes you've sent me while I was absent. Sorry that I didn't reply, but they were all very much appreciated.
My comeback will not only bring the continuation of my main series (Family Values), but will also be accompanied with a brand refresh and some new material I've developed during my time off.
I'll make a post with more infos soonish.
Stay tuned!
Yours truly,
Sleepy

Dear Supporters,first of all thank you all so much for sticking around!
The most important news right away:
I'll be fully back this October.
There will be several changes moving forward, so please take the time to read this post carefully.
So, why the long pause?
Of course, it's always a combination of things, but mostly I just had a serious burnout. At first I wanted to take shorter hiatus, but once I had some time to step back and think about my work more deeply, the realization set in that I don't want to go on like I used to. So, I decided to change a few things about my brand as well as my artwork that bothered me for quite a while now.In a nutshell it can be summed up as:
In the future I want to focus more on
Obviously I'm quite obsessed with erotically evil women, but there came a point for me where that stopped being fun to create. I understand that some of you are here for my darker stories, but especially the last Thief story had become a bit depressing to work on.For a while I was asking myself if I should continue at all, but then I started picking up the pencil again. I continued developing a fantasy story that I tinkered with for years now. Although staying true to my established themes, it has a much more positive vibe to it. This got me quite excited again. The story features a 9 foot tall dommy mommy as well as a rich background world that I'm very interested in bringing to life. And after some time... the joy for creating art started to come back. So, I decided to make a return.
As you probably already noticed, this also comes with a brand refresh. I'm dropping the "gimp" part and I'll update my logo to reflect the new direction. Also a lot of my old stuff won't be available on here anymore. Therefore I'll rework the archive tier before October (You will get a separate message.).
What does this mean for current storylines?
Don't worry. Although I'd love to just have a clean break and only work on my new ideas, there are still missing parts for Family Values as well as the Nancy saga. Since people are invested in those, I'll finish both storylines, of course. And to be extra clear, finish them as originally intended. It just wouldn't make any sense to change the direction of these on the last chapters.So, for a while new stuff and the last two chapters of Family Values will run in parallel.After that I will tackle the last Nancy story (To Reform a Thief).
But what about the other two unfinished projects?
- "Slumberparty Mystery" That one is a bit on the back burner. So it's not super likely to get finished any time soon. Sorry.
- "Seduced Barista" I have completed the writing on it and will try to release the missing pages over the next couple of months.
So, what exactly can we expect moving forward?
Here's a preview for October:- Probably with the news and updates for October there will be a little something for Halloween
- There will be (probably every month now) a physically painted pin-up. (Yup, I'm also working on parer again
) - My fantasy project. will start around the 20th. Most of chapter 1 will get released then as an easy on boarding for readers. It'll replace the pages that are meant for for all tiers every month.
- Family Values chapter 9 "Midsummer Night's Ball" will also start in October for the $10 tier (and up) as before.
Now you probably have a lot more questions and I'll try to answer some of them here:
Hey Sleepy, you're not going soft are you?The brand refresh will also come with a change in tone for the new projects, yes. But my artwork will still feature my regular themes. But in future storylines I wanna focus more on the humor again and not make my characters so mean-spirited that they become unlikeable.
Okay, but what about the third Thief story?
It's fully written and brings everything set up in the earlier Thief stories to a satisfying end, I think. I'll tackle it after I finished Family Values, since it's set after the Midsummer Night's Ball and will also tie up the last open story threads of Family Values.
Does that mean there is no new Nancy comic now?
Although there won't be a regular Nancy comic until Family Values is done, we will already see Nancy again this October since she makes her appearance in the new chapter of Family Values.
What is that Fantasy story about?
In order to give people an anchor point with my old stuff,...it'll be an Isekai
Will the poll make a return?
No, sorry. The poll tended to constantly give my characters and stories contradicting directions.
Is it now possible to get an original drawing from you?
Not at the moment. First I want to create a bigger body of work of original drawings.
Thank you all for reading through this and staying on for so many months. Maybe some of you won't be happy with some of the changes and therefore want to quit or reduce your support. But, I hope you're as excited for the next Family Values chapter as well as the upcoming fantasy story as I am.
Stay tuned!
Yours truly,
Sleepy
P.S.: I've updated some of the character sheets. Some of them felt a bit off(especially Evie and Vi). Apparently I was a bit work blind before I left.

A Heartfelt Thank You I want to take a moment to express my deepest gratitude to bobspaw, papucova, Barkin10, Nafany, and timbob. The time and effort youāve put into posting such a huge amount of content from the SleepyGimp Collection has not gone unnoticed.
Your dedication has done more than just share imagesāit has given me (and Iām sure many others) the chance to revisit and truly appreciate the artistry of SleepyGimp all over again. Going through the posted content to update some of the missing content, reminded me of why I fell in love with this artistās work in the first place: the creativity, the detail, and the unique style that makes every image so memorable.
Thanks to your contributions and to your generosity in sharing so much of the collection, Iāve been able to enjoy an incredible amount of SleepyGimpās art all over again. Itās been such a joy to revisit these works and be reminded of the creativity and style that make this artist so special.
Even more, your efforts have built a space where we can all come together to celebrate and keep the appreciation alive. I canāt wait to see what new pieces of SleepyGimp you all will share with us in the future. The thought of whatās still to come makes me even more grateful for everything youāve already done.

News & Updates for spooky month (October)
Dear Supporters,
it's good to be back! Thank you for all the kind wishes.
Traditionally the news & updates came out around the 10th every month, but to give everyone a better orientation on what to expect, I thought to better have them out now.As always the first half of the month will be a bit slow, since the releases mostly happen towards the end of the month.
So, here's the upcoming stuff:
- on Wednesday, the 8th I will release my first traditionally painted pinup.
- The new fantasy story will start on Tuesday, the 21st. I will try to do 8 pages for this release. Let's see if I can do it.
- The new chapter of Family Values will start on Thursday, October, the 30th.
- And last, but not least a little something cute for Halloween on the 31st of October.
Stay tuned!
All the best,
Sleepy
