Update: Plans for 2024!

Hey folks, HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

I just wanna say thank you again to all you cool people who have stuck around while my Patreon has suffered massively from life happenings. The continued support has been a HUGE blessing amid all the chaos.

But! It's a new year now, and with life settling down, I'm going to put my best foot forward and get things rolling again (for real this time). Here's what I'm looking to do:

1.) Finish the damn rebrand! 

Those of you in my discord server continue to be assaulted by my old brand. I'm planning on giving the whole discord a makeover and adding a few public channels, so it can pull double duty as a Patreon server AND a Twitch server, since I still would like to stream, too!

Speaking of that, though, the existing channels will still be there. The amount of public channels will be minimal, and will really just be a way for folks to get announcements and have, like, a general chat and such.

Coupled with this, I still have plans to refresh my Patreon, where I'll be restructuring the tiers a bit. I detailed my initial plans a while back in an older post, and I'm still probably going with that! We'll see, though!

2.) Make. More. Art!

As some of you are aware, I've been going through a lot of stuff IRL, from emergency moving, to burnout, to depression, and losing our dog. I got behind on comm work again and NEEDED to make sure I could pay my bills, so I wasn't been able to just. Draw for myself. Let alone for the Patreon.

Now, though, I have things.. mostly sorted on the comm side. So that means more Patreon stuff! I still would like to get into making comic pages properly, for sure, and I definitely wanna have something good for Valentine's coming up. Sharkben this year, maybe? 👀

Additionally... Fanart! I am very grateful that you guys like my lil dudes so much, and I definitely don't wanna lose that. But there's a LOT of good characters out there, and I wanna draw 'em! I'm looking DIRECTLY at Bowser, fyi. Specifically, the hunky/hairy Bowsers on Twitter and whatever. whew. Stay tuned.

3.) Make. More. PORN!

This goes hand-in-hand with 2, but I would also like to put NSFW stuff at the forefront this year! That's all. Thank you.

4.) ...Merch?

In a very unexpected turn of events (for me, at least), one of my good friends has turned me on to the idea of merchandising and selling stuff at cons!

THESE plans are VERY far out (I doubt anything is happening this year), but I'm gonna start trying to get some ideas made, and I'd like to hear everyone's feedback on what they think may work or not! Right now, the plan is to start small. So, stickers, prints, maybe some enamel pins? I love me a damn enamel pin. Anyways, this is all very new and nebulous to me, but I do feel pretty excited to dive in!

5.) And, of course... more commissions!

Despite the constant back and forth of me falling behind and catching up on my comm queue, I will be opening up for more comm requests this year! Right now, it's looking like February-ish, so stay tuned!

I currently have three outlets for announcements, since Twitter algorithms do be Twitter algorithms. Discord, Telegram, and, of course, here! Please message me if you need links for either of the first two!

That's about all for this update! Thanks for reading, let's make 2024 a good year!
