May 17th Update, Comms, & Future Plans

Hello all! I've returned, and with that comes a much needed update!
To start, I just wanted to thank you for sticking around for as long as you did. I honestly did not expect to still have you guys as patrons after going silent for months. Moving forward, if there ever comes a time that a break is needed, I will declare it despite how much it may pain me to do so.
To summarize what happened, my mental health took a dip, and with that much of my responsibilities were forgone. difficulties are sure to arise again inevitably, and when they do I will try my best to ensure they're handled more appropriately.

Moving forward, my goals remain the same! I will continue working to improve my skills as an artist and the means to do that will continue to be supported by commissions as well as your generosity!

The 3 main things I will be working to improve on over the next few weeks are:
- Painting/rendering fur (fur rendering studies)
- facial expressions (skull anatomy, mouth anatomy, expression reference studies)
- general anatomy ( full body poses, emphasis on shoulder/chest region, including neck)

Over the next couple weeks, not only will more time be dedicated to studies, but experimental comms will be top priority as far as commissions go. Colored sketch pages will be making a return, but with a limit to how many I will do followed by a likely price increase.

Commissions will be available immediately to anyone who's supported me on patreon before!
On top of that, You patrons will have the option to make your commission NSFW. (excluding sketch sheets for now) The NSFW comm option will remain Patreon exclusive for the time being.

Experimental comms will be colored and shaded with a simple background. The only guidelines are they be feral and only 1 character. If I feel the need to change/add to this, I will do so.
Much like how the price will be discussed, the nature of the comm will also be flexible, whether it be a headshot, series of expressions, or a full body pose. I will also be offering the option to have the sketch presented for approval, giving you the option to make any changes before it's finalized. If you prefer discord as a means of discussing commission details, please add CarbonPawprint#6188

The purpose of these experimental comms is not only to help me improve on the 3 main things I want to work on, but also to help me better grasp how I may want to approach comms in the future!

I will most likely be making experimental comms available to all previous commissioners of mine in a few days following a journal update. There I will announce Patreon supporters having the option for any future commission they get be NSFW.


Thank you all once again, your support is greatly appreciated ^^
