May Update - WIP updates

Hey guys!

Thank you all for another month of support here on Patreon! Things have been a tad slow around here, so I apologise. Working a regular job, Etsy, and trying to get more art done lately is a daunting task. Its my hope that I'll be able to go back down to part time with my day job like I did in 2015, so I can spend more time on art and perks for you guys. :) 

Also a big shoutout to all the new (and returning) Patrons this month! Welcome and thank you so much. <3

Lately I've been thinking about ways to improve my Patreon. I know a lot of you would like tutorials, but honestly I feel like many of the things I could do have been done thousands of time before by people much more skilled than I. However, I might try to do a mini Sai tutorial explaining brush settings and some of the tools I use, since I'm more comfortable with that sort of thing than a basic "how to draw" format. :)

Also starting this summer, I want to try and offer 3-6-12 month rewards for those in some of the lower tiers.  I've had plans to do this for a while, but time constraints have made it hard. I need to figure out a way to organise and track everyone's progress, so I may need to make a big excel sheet for this soon. ^^ Ideas like offering $5-$10 Patrons the ability to upgrade to a mail tier every few months, or offering $25 tiers a mini sketch commission once every 3-6 months. :) I'll start out by offering 6-12 month rewards for those of you that have been with me for a while, with sketches and things going forward (otherwise I'd get super behind!)

That's about it for now! Let me know what you guys think. :)

I'll be out of town for a week starting tomorrow ( 2nd-9th) so I won't be able to post any digital art for a bit. I'll have access to the internet (but no PC) and plan on bringing my sketchbook and some watercolors though, so hopefully I get a little time to draw some things while I'm away and post via the Patreon app. :) If you guys need me for anything, my messages will be open. <3
