Dec 19 Update

Hi everyone.

I've got a lot of updates today.

But first, I noticed a fair increase of patrons over the last few days. Thank you for your support! I am curious if it came out of anything in specific though. Was it a recent artwork or something else? If anyone is willing to answer the question, feel free to DM me either here or on Discord.

Anyway, the updates:

I have two new artworks coming this weekend. They are the remaining characters from the art poll from this month: Camilla and Jessica Rabbit. WIPs were posted yesterday and new WIPs will be posted on Wednesday.

I mentioned I would be making some tweaks to the patreon last week, and I have just updated the page to reflect this. 

• Requests were changed to suggestions because I want it to be a more casual thing: you suggest a character if you want, I'll look at all the characters later and pick the ones I like.
• I left "Fan Art Poll" up, but the poll will be the monthly Tsunade poll. In past months, I would hold the poll near the end of the month and draw the art the first week of the following month. From now on, I want to hold the poll and make the art in the same month, so the Tsunade poll will be from the 8th to the 15th every month. The first Tsunade poll for Monthly Tsunade 2023 will be held in January.
• I also changed all the polls back to the normal schedule: 1st-8th for the Deluxe poll, 8th-15th for the Tsunade poll.

I think this will be the last full text update I post for the rest of the month. We're approaching Christmas and I am visiting my family for the holiday. I will still have the usual content posted on the usual schedule through the month though: two new artworks this week, and one more artwork next week. Apologies in advance if I miss some comments or DMs during the holidays, I will still be active on the discord though.

It's been 11 months since I started the patreon, and looking back I am honestly pretty surprised at how well it's gone. I've pushed myself pretty hard this year. In fact, I made more art than ever this year, and I even picked up comics and animation. I've met some wonderful people who genuinely enjoy the work I've been doing and that makes it all worth it. So thank you all! It's been a great year!

If I don't get the chance to say it later: Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
