Life and Patreon Updates (Farewell for awhile)

So in about 1 and a half months, I will have to pause all work on Patreon for at least a few months. Why? I gotta serve my mandatory military service. As such I will not be able to do any work on TIBS or serve our elite Cool members, if you cancel I totally understand and wish to see you again when I return. BUT there are other ways I can deliver your benefits. Bear with me for a moment.

First, TIBS.

More likely than not TIBS will not release this year. I gave that original release time-frame as I honestly did not expect to be called up this early (thought early next year). But alas, plans change. So, where does this leave TIBS?

Chapter 2 is kinda big. Blurred for spoilers.

First branch of Chapter 2 is about 70% complete, some pages of the first branch will be used in the second branch, which is why some of the second branch is marked as in progress.

You saw a tease of whats to come in the first branch as the TIBS page I posted as a personal piece. To find it, navigate to the Personal Pieces Collection and you should be able to find it there.

It may not seem like a lot but with every page being unique to its respective branch and when attempting to not cram text in one page. It adds up. Currently sitting at a grand total of 30 pages for the first branch alone.

Second, the plan to deliver benefits while I am gone.

Opening back up commissions. With the amount of time I have remaining, instead of focusing on TIBS, I can divert attention to one and done pieces. With this, I can grind out a bunch of commissions and original pieces and build up a backlog of pieces I can schedule to be posted while I'm gone. So you all still have content.

We can also set this up as a fun event. Polls will be going out like crazy for members. Literally any recommendations you have just DM me. I'LL NEED ALL THEM IDEAS

Third, the choice.

With all the context given, I come to the most important part of the Ramble. A choice. Do I, either continue to focus on TIBS and try to get Chapter 2 out before I leave (Choice 1) OR put a pin on that and build up a backlog of content to be released while I am away (Choice 2). I prefer Choice 2 but at the end of the day it is up to you, you pay me to make the things YOU want. Will have a poll going up soon after this releases.
