December! Discord update + Quick Question for Y'all!

Hey all!

It's getting to be the end of 2019 and it's gotten me to reflect a bit on what my output has been here and how things have gone on the Discord channel I opened about a year ago now. I wish I could say I was 10000% thrilled with everything but that's never the case, largely because of the standards I put up for myself ahah ><

Discord Stuff

The Discord channel has actually been really nice. It's not been an especially booming or active place but it's been like, the server that people just go to to post art or stuff they're interested in and chat, and that's great because that's exactly what I wanted it to be! I didn't think anyone really needed, like, a new server to call home because I assumed everyone would already have one or two of those. Some people have, though, and I realise there might be more that want that. And those that have that now might want more people to join in.

So, I've re-adjusted the roles and everyone who subscribes to the Patreon now has Discord access. c: It has a single channel, the Homeroom, and you're free to come in, chat, and post about art or whatever to your heart's content. Make sure to check the rules first before posting, but other than that, welcome. c: 

If your role hasn't been assigned or you're having issues getting access, Patreon has a FAQ that should help. If not, PM me here and I'll try to sort that out on my end if I can!

Patreon Stuff

I've been thinking a lot about what I want this space to be. I do a lot of re-tooling every year to like, give it a new focus and it never really pans out the way I always intend. Largely because my priorities change across the year. 

The one thing that really bothers me, I think, is how distant I feel like I've become with the site itself. It's become a bit harder to navigate on my end with their new changes which has not helped, but since moving to a like "zip at the end of the month" format I've just not really had a reason to 'post' stuff. 

I think a lot about a comment someone told me once that, like, every morning they looked forward to waking up with new art from me in their email in box back when I was doing dailies and it made me wonder if that was a thing that people, like, missed. 

So, I'd like to know, would you like to see art updates posted here on the regular the same way that other Patreons you might follow update about their new stuff? Would you rather still it just be a zip you collect at the end of the month and that's it? Is there anything else you'd like to see more of/new things you'd like to see?

Comment below and let me know because I'm curious! Ultimately this space has been active long enough that I've somewhat lost touch with what everyone might want, and I want to make sure it's catering to that as much as possible. :)

As always, thanks for supporting me and sticking around. ✨💖
