Hello lovely peeps,
I am very nearly done with the design for my 2023 calendar, so I thought I would share what I have so far with you, and also ask for your input on the few things I still need to do!
This calendar is going to be A4 and wire-bound this year (as opposed to the square staple-bound ones I did in previous years).
The artwork included will not be exclusively Inktober work either, nor will it be art I create for this year's Inktober challenge.
I have chosen to include a mix of sketches and Inktober 2017 and 2018 drawings, all designs that were either only available as Patreon prints so far, or have not been available on my shop for a few years.
So first of, here is the cover :

(Sorry for the dodgy quality, it's a low res mock-up file)
And then, here are the pages!





So, all the above pages are the ones I am pretty solidly sure I'll be including in the final product.
There are however a couple of months I am not sure about yet, and I would love your help in deciding!
Could you help me choose which artwork you prefer for each month (June and October) by leaving a comment on this post?


Thank you for your help! <3
And lastly, I had one more important point to note :
I am really sorry to have to say that, while in previous years I was able to make calendars part of $20 Patreon rewards, I will sadly not be able to do that this year, for a couple of reasons :
- I had to change manufacturers (I used to use Awesome Merchandise, which has since gone down the drain quite dramatically), and I changed the format of the calendar, which all contributes to it being quite significantly more expensive to manufacture this time round.
- I haven't updated my tier prices in a number of years, and so my profit margins have become smaller and smaller (because of inflation and shipping and supply prices all going up), and would not be able to accommodate the manufacturing and shipping price for these calendars in a way that would allow me to use them as rewards.
Therefore, calendars will only be available as rewards to my $35 tier, and will be the only reward for November for that tier.
If you do wish to get yourself a calendar, rest assured that your discount codes will work on them though (including on the pre-order, which will open next week)!
I am so sorry about this!!
I hope it isn't too much of a disappointment. I wish I could give you everything all the time, I can never express enough how grateful I am to all of you for supporting me, you are my lifeline right now and I couldn't be more thankful. I hope that, once times get a little easier again (hopefully), I will be able to do more to show my appreciation. Thank you again for everything.
Take good care,
M <3
