Patreon Update: Plan Zero Complete + What’s Next?

Hi everyone! I wanted to give you a full update on what’s been happening, what I’ve accomplished, and where we’re headed next!

First, I’m happy to share that Plan Zero was a success 🎯. I started this goal back in March with the mission to clear my art debt and get back on track, and despite all the unexpected challenges, I did it! ✨

Of course, the road here wasn’t easy:

🐾 March’s progress hit a pause with wisdom tooth extractions (definitely the right call before things got worse!)

April brought family challenges, including a wedding that ended in crisis and left me estranged from part of my extended family. Thankfully, I’m still on great terms with my parents. 💕

🏠 When I returned, I had to help shift the household dynamic to support a roommate’s mental health, which meant big changes at home.

Then came FWA, the Smart Badge V1 field test was a win! But the trip itself became a logistical and financial tangle.

By early June, the roommate situation settled, and I went full speed into finishing commissions, rewards, and comics 🖌️. It pushed me close to burnout so I took a step back, regrouped, and changed strategy.

That’s why at the end of June, I shifted focus:
✅ Prioritize clearing commissions to stabilize financially 💵
✅ Limit new large-scale commissions until after my move 🏡
✅ Refocus on Patreon sketch rewards + content for all of you 🌈

What’s next?
➡ July will focus on sketch rewards + Patreon content 🎨
➡ I’ll take on a few small commissions but large slots open after I’m settled 🗂️
➡ I’m updating how I post on Patreon to protect content, prevent leaks, and better align with platform policies 🔒

Thank you so much for sticking with me through all of this 💖 I appreciate you more than words can say! I’m excited to give you a refreshed, better Patreon experience in July, and I’ll keep you updated every step of the way! 🌟💫
