Hello, it's GH.

Thanks to the help of all the patrons, I'm able to have peace of mind and rest properly. Whereas before I was stressed with what kind of trouble I'm in and dire problems I'll face in the future, but I can stop thinking about the negatives and focus on rest. It is all thanks to everyone who decided to help me after hearing my situation. I truly am grateful.

Instead of just resting, I wanted to go back to the mental hospital. However, even with financial help from my friend, I can't cover the medical expense(It's mostly counseling fee). So, I'm just trying to reach out to people around me to talk(like counseling), and have a more positive mind.

Also, the most important for all of us, artwork. I'm trying to get back to it even with just minimum effort. As mentioned in the last post, I've been posting one past artwork per day on art communities like Pixiv and Newgrounds again. From time to time I try to visit another artist's stream to kindle my interest in art.

A simple story on what I've been doing for the past few days, some may want something like a detailed roadmap for the future schedule but at least till next month, I'll continue to rest and recover. The burden on my mental state has loosened quite a bit but I still haven't finished taking care of the problems, which I don't think it'd be a good idea to risk start drawing or scheduling things early.

Financial problems will be less of a problem from the beginning of next year's January. Currently, I'm selling off my stuff as used goods along with financial help from the patrons and my friend to make up for the living expense.

From January, that expense would decrease by 30% which would allow me to cover the living expense just from my friend's help alone.

Of course, just doing nothing and passing time at the expense of everyone shall not be. I'm planning to start drawing again from January at the lastest. I still have a personal desire to draw again and would like to come back faster if I had the mental capacity. However early this year I had the same idea, along with pressure to make money, against the doctor's recommendation, I quickly came back to draw again and it just became a colossal failure. With that experience in mind, I want to be careful this time and take it slow.

Once again, I don't have a roadmap for Patreon but, I think in December, or next year's January if I'm late. Starting with simple sketches and personal works, and then work on the 7 reserved commissions(from those who wanted to help me and decided to pay upfront) first. After that, I'll be off to decide on whether or not I want to do more commissions to cover the living expense or to schedule Patreon and draw projects accordingly.

About choosing to do commissions and personal arts first, the finished personal works will be available on Patreon separately as well. Commissions, after some of the commissioners, learned about my situation they've thankfully decided to permit me to release their finished commission on Patreon.

Also, about selling past Patreon works on Gumroad. The plan has been canceled, it is of utmost important to hear from the patron's opinion and I've decided not to do so as some of the patrons voted no for it. Although I hope to look a bit further from everyone's help as I won't be opening up gumroad.

That's about it for recent news. I'll be continuing to upload my works on places like Pixiv and Newgrounds and the next post will be posted around mid-November.

I've been so grateful for everyone's help, and to return such, I'll come back with a good shape after recovery.

Thank you.
