August Sketch Requests and doing another round due to computer issues.
Added 2022-08-27 00:31:17 +0000 UTCAlright so, here's the sketch requests for August!
This month you've all requested Belfast, Cirina, Y'shtola, Pouty Jeanne Alter, Robin (I didn't know what you meant by offering a h, so I drew her giving a hand an handjob, sorry!) Tsubasa Oribe, Mia FE7 version, Mitama, and refined Serila, Noelle Silva, and Haru Okumura.
EDIT! I've added the bonus sketches of Enterprise, South Dakota, Marianne, Azura, and refined Jeanne Alter.
Now, here's a link to request more! I'm doing a second round for August, this doesn't impact September's round.

Why? TL;DR: My computer keeps dying and it's set me back a lot.
I've updated my drivers, I've scanned my ram and hard drives, replaced them, scanned them again, reinstalled my OS, and I'm still having computer crashes. Right now I'm expecting overheating but my tests/readings haven't proven anything so far. I've read it could be related to my wireless stuff, so I'll mess with those later. EDIT!: Not overheating or wireless stuff, but my new debugger is pointing me towards some system drivers and firefox, sooo progress!
It was 48 hours since my last crash, but my computer coincidentally crashed while typing out this post. The silver lining atm is I've doubled my ram and have a new SSD.
I am greatly behind in painting still. There's still so much to do and I'm not sure if I can finish Thorr and Loki in time this month. So for that, I apologize in not getting enough content out. I'm not sure how I can make it up to you all, so I was thinking I could do another form of sketch requests (seen above!).
Just so it's clear, these requests don't take time away from other paintings. What tends to happen is I think a painting needs work and I need a break from it, so these sketches happen in between.
I'm just so exhausted trying to figure out what's wrong. Things are fine now, but I don't know for how long. I will try to do my best to finish Thorr and Loki this month, but I'm afraid I can't make any promises.
I will be able to get the requests done before the end of the month however, so please request one again if you'd like one. I'll be posting them maybe on the 30th.
Anyway, sorry for the blog bit, and hope I can catch up in painting now.

2022-08-31 06:28:31 +0000 UTCHappy you like it :D And thanks for your concern. Piling on workload with the sketches is something I am concerned about. I put the short deadline to help finish things quickly without impacting future artworks. Since I'm also still paranoid about my computer crashing, it's easier to be invested in short sketches/paintings rather than the ones I know will take awhile. Staying in the rhythm of things is Very important for me and constant interrupts really puts that to a halt. That being said, I am trying to see how to address slow content months in the future. I know some artists like to provide a previous months of rewards, but that doesn't work with my Patreon structure. I might save a set for a future rainy day? Not sure yet. For this month though! I'm fine with the sketches.

2022-08-28 06:35:11 +0000 UTCMy good lord that Serila refine is... so stellar... Ah shoot I'm sorry to hear about how behind you've been with your dying computer. The call of the second round of August sketches does concern me a bit because I've seen other artists try to backtrace months of delayed, committed art and it keeps on piling until they end up cutting too many corners like no alts or canceling an entire month of pledges. Hope you won't stress yourself out too much
