July Journal and Agenda

Merry Julymas!

Shoutout to adambomber, JoJoFunkyTime, Bailey, Eden, Ian White, A J, Patrick, SHEMPIMITE, Mind_Stopper, Skalli, Shad0w, Swoofs, Mydefcon, Skeet, Fanalan, and Haydn for their support in June, and a huge thank you for everyone continuing to support me as I enter my 5th month of running this Patreon!

Supporter shoutouts will be posted weekly on twitter in my running posts, and you will continue to appear on the credits for as long as your membership is active.

ANYWAYS the general plans for July will be the continuation of the yeet-chan summer set, but I may be wrapping it up soon. More notably I want to start introducing variety, so I may start drawing fanart and other ocs in addition to yeet-chan (which you've already been starting to see). Perhaps I may alternate between a yeet-chan piece and fanart/other oc piece each week.

Regarding commissions, I'm just about wrapping up on my backlog. I gotta check back on a couple on the waitlist but otherwise I may be reopening again in the latter end of this month if not the next. However I will likely be reworking my comm sheet with incorporating the lineless sketch style, and will only be taking fewer slots at a time to make things more manageable.

In overall production and expectations, I will continue to strive for maintaining a standard of having an art piece posted on twitter weekly every Saturday, from which you patrons will always get to see the first look and works in progress of.

Regarding NSFW I will try to go for 1-2 pieces each month (wiggle room given to sketches and nude variants). Admittedly I'm still a bit shy in branding myself as an nsfw artist as I've barely advertised it on my twitter, so I kinda treat it as a surprise bonus for those who went out of their way to check out this patreon. We'll see how I'm feeling as time passes, but with it being an exclusive offering I understand if this affects subbing decisions! So for the sake of transparency and expectations, I currently prefer my nsfw works to be just a slice of what I have to offer as I try to push for more variety, and my output may reflect that. But what nsfw I do cook up I will try to make nice n juicy and spicy and all that good stuff.

Speaking of transparency, how am I, the artist, doing? I finished Yakuza 0 and am currently trying to 100% my paper mario ttyd save file, and next I'm looking forward to playing SMTV: Vengeance and Yakuza Kiwami. Fun!

But on a more serious note, with it being my 27th birthday last week and next month being the one year anniversary of my current part-timer job as a fulfillment grunt, I do find myself itching to not spend another year longer in retail. I want to try to land a job in UX, which was what my college degree was geared toward, so I want to try to start dedicating some hours in my week to that effort. This is partially the reasons behind my efforts of developing my art style to be more efficiently produced yet still appealing, and trying to stay a few steps ahead of my weekly production schedule. Art is still my passion which is why I launched this patreon in the first place, so I want to try to do my best to manage my time to do it all! The art of dandori!
