Here is a massive WIP dump! `All of these were posted on my discord over time (exclusive to the appropriate reward tier of course). Now here's an update about my work! Contex: I held a poll to change my working schedule, and it was a unanimous decision, everyone voted for 'No defined schedule, make as much work as viable.' The amount of work available on this platform already greatly out weighs the cost of $5 so I won't be spending 10-14 hours a day working and be using that time to edit my work and improve. I'm still blown away that it was a landslide vote for this but I'm also very grateful! Hello everyone, Since this month is finishing on the old schedule that means the proper amount of work is finished once Ilulu x taketo part 2 and Erza single image illustrations are uploaded on the 24th. This means the new schedule and all it's content will begin again on the 7th of February. I'll probably take break-time similar to before, every couple of months have a week of no uploads; but I'll always let everyone know in advanced when I am. I say this because I'm no longer limited to 4 single mages a month or 4 pages for a comic. My plan for content is to be getting 6 hours of work in each day at least, always making sure to have progress getting done, this will likely result in 2 WIP posts a week and at least one piece of content a week, since everyone voted for no defined schedule I'm hesitant to say this lol, but I can't really help it. I f I ever miss an upload I'll be posting WIPs about it. Essentially I won't be working myself into the ground anymore, I'll have more time to sketch and make sure the work is good and also more time to improve and possibly post more content outside of what I have been. I said before I plan on doing sketches and if they get serious enough they will be turned into small stuff just for patreon. Don't expect anything extra in this coming month, I'll be using that time to finish up this one project outside of patreon I've been working on since before I started patreon. (What a mouth full) Thanks for sticking around, and for all the support! If you haven't yet I suggest joining the discord so you can see the WIPs I post. I'm going to move past these characters with the next poll, I think I'm going to do another OC one, Mayla or a new character, then after that refresh the polls with a new set of characters, elimination style like we did with this month. These characters will be back just not next month. Speaking of the poll characters Galko-chan will be the free content for the public this month, however I'm going to keep it on patreon exclusivity until the 24th, I hope that's okay! First single image for February is this. Second is an OC character Poll. Third and Fourth will be a new set of characters. I'll be putting up a comic poll at some point. If I ever do a month without a comic it would just mean more single image illustrations, I can't tell what's more popular with everyone, comics or single image illustrations. It's probably equal with most everyone. Any questions or concerns let me know! [more text from a the comic poll] It's incredible that we hit $700+ this month! I will always be sharing the amount I make, it feels weird or dishonest to not share that publicly. I was recently asked if I do this full time or what. This is my full time job, I do have a long term project on the side that I've been doing for a while. I am a professional illustrator! Anime/Manga is not what I primarily made work in! I used to have 3/4 long term projects at a time to have a decent income and it was consistent until one 2 month period where I got no new projects; that scared me. So at some point in October I took a leap of faith in making this patreon. I didn't accept new projects and drastically slowed my work outside of setting the patreon up. I'm amazed how it has blown my expectations, I legitimately didn't think anyone would sign up; and here we are. That sounds silly, seeing as it was a leap of faith but I didn't expect it to go anywhere, and that I can't explain besides the fact that I had to try something. I hope to continue to improve and get better to match the support I've received, this next Erza single image will show a little bit of that. Look forward to the future content! This was from about a week ago (the update). I was astonished by how everyone voted for no solid schedule, so I will be working as much as I can while trying to remain healthy.
