Update + Life stuff

Hi, friends.

I’m giving a bit of an update on where I’m at in life right now. You’ll have noticed that your .zip updates have been considerably less… “filled” over the past few weeks. It’s probably been a noticeable dwindle and, ultimately, I hope y’all have still been happy with the art but it’s indeed less and I’m sorry for that. 

Over the past few months, I’ve been dealing with a lot of personal turmoil that has unfortunately come to its conclusion. I don’t want to get into details. It’s personal and I hope you can all respect that boundary. Things are very bad for me right now and they will get better, but it will take a lot of time. 

I’m writing this update to let you all know that my art output will likely be spotty over the next couple of weeks. If you are not comfortable with that and choose to withdraw your pledge, I fully understand and will not hold that against you. I hope to see you return in the future. For those of you who will stay, thank you, because it means an enormous amount to me. Patreon is, for better or for worse, a critical part of my stability and while I will try to do my best to maintain a steady flow of art for those of you still supporting me, I can’t promise it. I can only promise that I will do my best.

As for the future, I am not sure. I don’t want to think about these things right now, honestly. It’s scary.

I don’t know what else to say right now, sorry. I apologise for the grim tone of the update but it’s hard to put on a face during this. I just needed to let you all know that I will keep trying and art will still be coming and that streams will still be happening. It will just be a rough ride for a bit and I hope you will all help me through it. 

I have some other updates planned in the coming days. I will be sending out store codes soon and post the suggestion thread. 

Thanks, and I love you,

Erica
