November Recap

Added 2022-12-01 14:05:22 +0000 UTC

And another month dow- wait, it's been a full year! This month will be my first anniversary since officially launching this Patreon! Crazy to think it's already been a year, and what a successful year it's been! I want to thank all of you again for giving me your support. Things have actually progressed way faster than I anticipated when I first launched this page, and it's really given me the confidence I needed to keep working and improving my art, and take on projects that in the past I would've been too scared to even attempt.

Hopefully in this coming year we'll be able to hit our goal that'll let me start working on my art part-time! But before getting ahead of myself, it's time to talk about this month's business.

Patreon Changes

Thanks to all of you who voted in the poll I put up regarding the changes to the Patreon! It was very validating to see so many of you agreed with my proposal and desire to preserve the value of my work, and that's why I'll be going ahead with the changes as listed in the post. I know a handful of you might be disappointed with this, but ultimately I feel this is what's best for both the Patreon and my long term goals.

So just to quickly summarize those changes:

Beginning with December's artwork, patrons will now have a period of roughly 2 months to collect their 18+ art and any hi-res files for SFW artwork from this Patreon page. So, for December's art, you will have until February 1st to get your rewards.
Afterwards, it will be removed from the Patreon and moved to my Gumroad store where it'll be sold in a pack. If you don't want to miss anything, I recommend turning on your email notifications in Patreon's account settings (you can do this individually for each Patreon you're subbed to!).
The packs will contain: All 18+ art for the month, as well as all hi-res and lineart versions of both 18+ and SFW artwork.
Mythril patrons will receive a monthly discount code for any packs they might've missed. The first of these will be sent out on February 1st when the first pack is uploaded to Gumroad.
All art and files posted from September 2021 to November 2022 will remain on the Patreon page and be there to browse at your leisure. It's not going anywhere.
Prices of the Gumroad packs are still undetermined, but most likely they'll be priced the same as the Mythril tier, with some slight variations depending on how much artwork was done for that month.

December Artwork

Now, for this month's art, you guys didn't beat around the bush and made your voices clear! First off, we'll be starting with some spicy She-Ra art. This will be a solo piece, featuring She-Ra in all her buff, glowy beauty.

You guys also voted for Posion Ivy and Harley Quinn for the SFW piece! I've never drawn these two before so that'll be fun to do. To be clear, this will also be a holidays themed piece so I'll be timing it to go public on the 25th. You guys'll get it a little sooner, of course, but I'll be getting to it later in the month than usual, because...

Korrasami Day is on the 19th! And I'm planning something kind of big for it, which is why I'll need to start on it before the Harlivy piece. So we'll be deviating a little from the usual schedule this month.

I've yet to decide on what I'll be doing for the second NSFW piece. I'm bouncing between a few ideas at the moment that I really want to do. It could be another She-Ra piece, or maaaaybe something Fire Emblem: Three Houses related? I recently started playing the Three Hopes spin-off and have been itching to do something with that. We'll have to wait and see what I'm feeling up to when I get to it!

Finally, I'll be taking some time off from my day job for the holidays, which means more time for art! I've been itching to do another short comic with Kihrae and Catalyna for a while, and have just about finalized the script, so I plan to kick that off towards the end of the month. Like my Arcane comic, this one will have multiple pages done across several months, so I'll be sharing them here in Early Access as I finish them before releasing them all together to the public when the comic is complete closer to the middle of the year.

December Polls (for January Art)

You may have noticed I didn't make any mention of CaitVi at all for the December art. Not to worry, CaitVi fans! I'm just taking a break from them for the month because I've been drawing them a lot lately and could use some time to get fresh ideas. But I'll be bringing them back in January, and so I'm making both the SFW and NSFW polls CaitVi themed! Those polls will go up on the 5th and you can let me know what you'd like to see them do in the new year.
