The images are top notch and the story is as well, however stoper works slower than a stubborn mule and jumps around between projects so it takes forever for him to do anything. His involvement with that other Paola thing was a couple of months of creating images for some guy's novel and then he hid it behind the $10 tier and above anyway, claiming it would affect the novelist if he placed it any lower, disregarding the patrons having already sent money his way for the Jessica project.
Basically you are paying the guy to spin a wheel in his head each month and go along with what ever it lands on, thereby having no influence on the progression rate of the project you (mainly) joined for.
I don't know what he thinks his patrons are paying him for but there is plenty of frustration to find on his site.
You want more Jessica? Haha, here is something else you did not ask for and will not get to see unless you pay more!
He seems completely oblivious to the fact that many of his patrons are there to support the JOHN project, not just let him indulge in what ever side project tickles his fancy every other day.
For myself it means I support him on the $1 tier as I don't expect anything any longer from a guy so bad at project management and out of touch with his player base, but I still enjoy the eye candy in the updates he puts up every now and then.
