February updates!

Good afternoon/morning/evening depending on your current location on this silly marble of a planet! Some updates on things, a few small reminders, and other stuff involving patreon moving forward, none of it bad... I think.

Working schedule- 

As everyone is aware the end of last year and Jan was pretty rough for me, but Ive been working my nub off to get back into gear. It was a slog, but it's paying off now that I have finally gotten a job that's worthwhile. I've been doing a lot of training and travelling to get everything in order, and now that things have finally solidified, I now have a schedule to work from. 

I'll be working Mon thru Fri, 10:30am to 9pm. EST. The job is technical with a potential for down time so I'll be working on artwork as I can! (Kinda like with my old job- except I wont have to hide the fact I'm doing it) So I'll be largely unavailable during.

Rewards will start to process too. I'll be working on them in pairs- overdue Ovum and new works. My goal is to have around 2-4 a month if possible, but I can't make any promises- I need to focus on this job and pay off these debts I owe before they get more out of hand. TvT

Comics are now going to start happening this year- Juui has finished working on the script for the 'test pilot' of Garrett's shenanigans. Patrons will get early access to pages and I'll be squeezing people in for cameos. 

Commissions will remain for active patrons only- once I've revised the sheet I'll be pinning it in the server as well as making it easily accessible here as well! 

On that note; I've set up an option here where those who have to unsub won't be kicked out of the discord server. It's your choice if you'd like to stay or not as a fair number of people have been genuinely awesome to spend time with who aren't able to pledge. I totally understand, believe me, and it doesn't feel right. Keep in mind that even if you do stick around you will lose your perks, but I'll still keep your refs for the occasional warmup drawing. 

That's prettymuch it for business stuff!

Personal garbo-

I myself am feeling much better and my mom is doing well; my uncle has already threatened to send her back in a cardboard box because she annoys him so much. 

As for the recent post on taking a break from twitter; It's nothing bad, just need to avoid it due to doomscrolling too much instead of focusing on important things. I want to make some healthy changes for the better, especially with spending time with those in the server; I'll be hanging out in chat more as I can and will be working with everyone on feedback on some future projects, also how to make the commission application process a bit more streamlined. (Thanks to Hootbias for some very good input on art examples in the form.)

Again- I will be pinning and announcing when these are open for patrons! Those who have already applied will be top of the list as thanks for supporting me, it really helped me out the past few weeks. 

I hope everyone is doing well and keeping sane, I look forward to getting the cogs going again with everyone <3 My DMs are open if needed but I will be kinda slow to respond. I have so much to do still.

slán go fóill!
