June 5 2022 Update

Hi everyone,

Just a few updates today.

1. I've started working on the art for this week. I'm making the naked apron Tsunade I promised earlier, and I'm also making a new pinup of Poste. I've shown WIPs to the Deluxe Tier on Sunday and will have more for tomorrow.

2. I've started making some reference material for the Ivy Comic. This reference material is just character sheets to help me keep designs consistent. I'm realizing the two weekly paintings take a lot of time during the week and I'm going to have trouble actively working on the comic. The comic project is something I'd like to see through, so I may have weeks when I only make 1 painting instead of the usual 2. I'll update you on a weekly basis so you know what to expect every week like I am now. For weeks when I'm actively working on a comic page, I'll just make 1 painting that way I can actually make comic pages in a reasonable amount of time and still deliver 2 artworks (1 painting and 1 comic page). Once I make a few pages, I'll add "early access to comics" to the patreon description, because it only mentions paintings and art tips right now. This will be added to both tiers.

3. I'm having a lot of fun with making animations. I'd like it to be a semi-regular thing. Not so much that it takes away from paintings and the comic but maybe 1-2 short and easy ones every month, or just whenever I feel like it. I will be adding early access to animations for the Deluxe tier later this month.

Edit: I want to clarify that I will add early access to animations after I finish this current one. In the July 1st update I mentioned I would share it with everyone, and I don't want to go back on my word. So after I post this next animation project for all tiers, the following animations will be early access for the Deluxe tier.

4. This month's fan art poll will go live on Friday, so if you are in the Deluxe tier and haven't submitted a request yet, do so before then if you want your character request to be on this month's poll.

That's it for today. Thanks again and have a great week!
