General Important Update for August

Hii everyone! I already had this post written up but my power just went out for a minute, so here we go again!

I hope you guys have had a good July so far, and maybe even had a chance to safely enjoy some nice summer activities. My July has been very eventful, both personally and professionally! I got to enjoy a bit of a long weekend that allowed me to visit some friends and spend a little time on the beach. I am still working on art rewards for this month, so hang tight everyone, your patience is very appreciated!

So big news that some of you already know, I have decided to start designing and selling merchandise! This is a big step for me as an artist, but I feel very ready and excited to expand my horizons and take my work to the next level.

That being said, to help make this happen and get the ball rolling, I will be pausing pledges for August. You all will still be receiving benefits such as updates, WIPs, discounts (if your pledge of $10 or more was processed this month), and even Friday stream commissions every Friday of August! I am just going to allow myself ample time to start creating designs and planning out what I'd like to get ordered, while also polling you all on my design concepts and getting feedback of course! So custom art pledge rewards will really be the only thing put on pause next month.

I also have a form coming soon for you guys to suggest merch ideas and volunteer your own characters to potentially have some free swag made of your characters! Yay!

I am very excited for this next step in my  path as an artist which, if all goes well, will allow me to offer even more unique benefits to you all, as well as allow me to travel to sell my work (once the pandemic subsides), which has really seemed like a far off dream until now.

If you have any questions about this, do let me know, and I hope you guys are excited to see what my noodle comes up with! You all will have pre-order access to my merch in no time <3
