YO

Whattup Reyyytrons! 

Apologies for the sluggishness here in general in 2021. June was an exceptionally busy month for me. Spent most of it fulfilling orders for NASANGELION, taking a birthday trip to VEGAS with my gf, and more! 

FINE TUNING this REYYYTRON is one of my top priorities. I have grand ideas that I'm hoping to implement soon. 

PINAPL - Starting that comic was a great step. I have stagnated on it, but I will be getting back on it soon! 

EXTRA SAUCE - I've absolutely failed everyone at the $10 tier with Extra Sauce in 2021. I'm sorry. I had printer woes that really affected me for a few months, and basically that led into more stagnation for more months. I will be getting back on EXTRA SAUCE in JULY. And trying to ship out overdue issues to reyyytrons of months past. I hope y'all can forgive me and allow me to start fresh / try to make it up to you. 

COMMISSIONS - Have been going good still, tho I still owe people some. I really appreciate y'all sticking with me at the commission levels! 

** NEW STUFF ** 

I'd like to get more INTERACTIVE stuff going on here! Starting with a monthly VOTE !

I'm thinking, we can recap the art / commissions I do each month, and VOTE on which art can be turned into a monthly sticker! 

*Of course, commissioners can opt to have their drawing included or not included in the vote. 

So yeah, a monthly sticker! Which will be sent out at my $10 tier, along with copies of EXTRA SAUCE.

Besides getting PINAPL / EXTRA SAUCE back on track, I am trying to implement a WEEKLY SCHEDULE that has more frequent updates, usually something corresponding with the DAY. I've started to do that with SHARKNIFE SATURDAYS -- I intend to do even more with it / different days. Instead of telling you what I have planned for the weekly schedule, I'm hoping to just start DOING IT. Please continue to bare with me :)

The machine is chugging along now y'all. You all have truly helped me get this thing going on. It may be hard to see sometimes, looking from the outside-- I always want to update you guys on all the various machinations that are going on in my art mind every single day! BUT!!!!! The thing is-- I get so excited and ROCKET SHIPPING that often times I won't slow down to parse it out for a patreon update, you know? The need to keep shooting for the stars outweighs my ability to stop and update y'all about it. BUT THAT'S NOT COOL!! I realize that to keep the machine going / greased, some blueprints, updates, excitement, is absolutely necessary! And can be fun! And absolutely will be! 

So, I will be taking steps to implementing these new updates. Getting y'all more involved. We're making magic happen here. Y'all are going to be seeing a lot more of it first hand! 

Here's something right here-- Since coming home from VEGAS, I did that SHARKNIFE / SAMUS drawing (above) and have since been absolutely obsessed with drawing some new FINAL FANTASY VII ENAMEL PINS. 

No, that's not a screenshot from how the FINAL FANTASY VII REMAKE shoulda been, it's some brand new COASTALVANIA enamel pins that will be blowing up Shinra, and the world soon ;D 

My enamel pin process could use it's own lengthy update, or series of updates, on their own. The fact is, I am both now. A comic creator, and pin maker. I am equally good at both lol. 

I've had a CLOUD pin on our Coastalvania shop forever, but the point of THESE ones is to make something more original, instead of assets ripped direct from the game. I am always a fan art fan, but for Coastalvania, I'm hoping to make more original pieces that I can be more genuinely proud of, know what I'm saying? Could absolutely go off about enamel pins, bootleg culture, fan art, originality in fan art, the merit of fan wares, etc. Oh my yes oh my

+ + + + +

Anyway, there's some tastes of what I'm up to! You'll hear a lot more about it! Back to work
