Update!

My studio closed today; so I'll me spending all of May almost full time on my patreon ^^ 

I say almost because there may be a few days where I will go into the office to do some voluntary work to see if something can come of the current situation; at this stage, there is a reasonable chance that I will get my job back once some external stuff can be sorted; but none of this is known. I will only give them a day or two a week though, and will of course be working weekends to try and make up for it.

This means that I will keep my patreon open for May; so you'll be charged for your pledged tonight as normal, and I'll deliver a rewards cycle later in the month. At this stage you can expect the rewards to come out at some time in the week of the 13th-19th. I will keep you posted.

I am sorry that I am announcing this on the last day of the month; but my job termination was only announced today. 

If you don't like the sound of any of this, then please send me a note and I will refund your pledge. 

I'm sorry that my rewards have been delayed of late with little notice; its been difficult for me to schedule things without any certainty, and that has made it hard for me to operate as professionally as I would like. Please let me know if you have any comments or concerns and I'll get back to you ASAP.

Thank you all so much for your support. If it was not for you guys, then I would be in a lot of trouble right now. Instead, I'll take this as an opportunity over the next month to finally finish off MLK and get it to a renderable state :). From the bottom of my heart, thank you all. I hope I haven't disspointed you.

Work so far:

For those wondering, I have been doing rigging work since I delivered my rewards, as I said I would. So far, I have constructed a basic auto rig for Andre's left wing, which will allow him to pose it. I've been getting some help skinning that :). I have also modified Renee's rig to fit the new wolf model onto it, which was a bit trickier than I was expecting. She still needs to be skinned, but I am hoping that I can simply copy most of that over from the skinning job that Thirteenth has made for posing submissions. Assuming that gets me 70% of the way there, the only 'high' priority rigging task for her left is modelling her facial morphs.

None of these make good rewards though, so I will be focusing most of my time on animating MLK for this cycle, so you can get some fun out of it :)

The state of the Pins:

I'll also put out an update for the pins soon; these sadly fell by the wayside during the chaos of last month, but this will be a good opportunity to get them sorted too ^^

Cheers everyone!
