August Newsletter — Shooting Star
Added 2025-08-05 18:52:04 +0000 UTCHi! Yeah yeah, I’m late, I know. I’m sheepish about it already so feel free to rub it in 😆 Anyway! It’s August, a month that’s gonna be a real whirlwind on my end, but more on that in the sections below the To Do list.
Welcome to everyone who is new! We’ve gotten a bunch of new folks during July, which I am insanely grateful for. And thank you to everybody who’s stayed to support me for yet another month! I’ve been making some future plans recently(ya lad may try to get into uni next year! Living up to all the fic tropes lmao) and your support has been making decision making loads easier. Now onto the bits you’re here for:
⭐️ Coupon code and some links ⭐️
Ko-Fi coupon code for 10% off in August: SOUTH10
Join my Discord server Lilpy's Observatory, if you haven't already!
⭐️ To Do List ⭐️
SFW:
Postcard painting for September: OooOooo undecided! Maybe it’ll feature a prompt that didn’t make it last month in the vote or something vaguely autumnal, we’ll see!
August’s sticker: top priority! Right now I’m thinking of “Crowley lurking behind Duckziraphale in the water”
a funky collab, that is still pending because I am slow. But it’ll be cute!
the two page comic I started in June - it’s basically finished, but I hate the colours so I’m reworking it
sketchbook spread(Star Gazers and up): if I have the energy - more Edinburgh angst, if I don't - fluffy stuff without context lmao
NSFW:
still wanna do a second part to “Rub”!
⭐️ The Ineffable Con 6 ⭐️
I will be attending TIC6 in person this month(which is why Ko-Fi orders have been slow) and afterwards I’ll be on a weeklong trip with some fellow attendees. I will try to doodle during the evenings but since I don’t often get the chance to be social around other fandom folks in person, things on Patreon might be quiet during the week between the 15th and 22nd of August. At TIC, I’ll be having a booth and it’ll be the first time in my whole life that I’m selling my art in person! It’s exciting but trying to figure out customs and a booth setup has been really exhausting. I’ve been a bit whiney about it on Discord so cheers to everyone over there who’s been nice to me anyway lmao I’ll have another week off after the trip where I plan to draw nonstop during my waking hours. No admin bs, no taxes or customs - just me and my iPad and my gay blorbos 🥹
⭐️ Future Changes to Patreon tiers ⭐️
It’s been some time coming, but I’ll have to raise my tier prices starting in September. Members who are already subscribed will NOT be affected by those changes as long as they stay on their current tier or change to a different one before the end of August. I will make a whole separate post about it once I’m back from my trip but I thought I’d mention it already. I have also been thinking of adding a second physical tier, which would be slightly more expensive, where you’d get an additional mini print of a sketch or a less polished artwork. If you’ve read this far, let me know what you think about an option like that!
⭐️ This month's postcard for the Galaxy Voyagers is... ⭐
...our darlings soaking in a pond! If you'd like to have this piece delivered to your mailbox, feel free to upgrade to the Galaxy Voyager tier during this month(you have time until the very last day of this month!). You'll only have to pay the difference between the tiers and it's cheaper than any print of this in my shop will ever be💕
