March review / April goals

Hello my gemlins 💞

March was over in the blink of an eye, how did that happen....! Once again, I spent so much time with print preparation that I hardly remember doing anything else.

I am in the very very last stretches now, you can expect my shop to go live in roughly 24 hrs from now!!* I will share the link with Patreons first, I want you to be the first to get access and a view of the items (I'm very pleased with the extra print that will be part of the preorder set :3). In the end I decided against any extra products at this point in time, simply because I don't think I could handle the stress of keeping an eye on the production of more than the book and the print, splitting my attention on too many things during a time that's already bursting with tasks would only lead to unnecessary exhaustion and mistakes, and I'd rather keep my assortment small for now but guarantee a smooth run for everyone!

But enough of that for now!

There is something else that I would like to say before I move on to the review & goal part of this post, and that is

THANK YOU ALL FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART for supporting me here on Patreon. The growth last month was immense and unexpected, and it meant an incredible jump for me in regards to my ability to pay for necessities.

Thanks to each and every gemlin who's supporting me I was able to pay all my bills, rent, insurance on time and without having to worry if I would still have enough left to restock on groceries at the end of the month, for the first time in 2 years.

So please know that I deeply appreciate you being here, every cent, every dollar makes such a difference and I am so grateful to have you here ; ;) 

You've all been very patient with me over the last month, with the lack of new content and all. I'm grateful for that, because it allowed me to finish working on volume 1 without time breathing down my neck and rushing me forward. I hope it will be reflected in the quality of the book, too :')

Okay, but now, onto the review and goals!

 Main contents in March:

• #MUTED redraw 03 | 04 
• hair tutorial  
• Under Your Spell 04 
• volume 01 book cover reveal

Goals for April:

 Morganite [$5+]:  

• two new #MUTED episodes, to make up for the lack of updates in March
• a new Hogwarts AU part
• a couple artwork
• the remaining redrawn pages 

 Aquamarine [$10+]:  

• a process video
• a selection of CSP/PSD files for you to look at

General:

• livestream! 🖤 [date tba]

I will skip the sketch PDF for Morganite gemlins this month, because due to the redraw marathon I simply had no opportunity to actually draw anything outside of that for quite a while, I have like 2 sketches outside of comic pages to show and that's just not enough, so I'll postpoone that to next month!
My main focus in April will be getting back on track with the comic, and I believe that's what most of you probably look forward to the most, too :')

Thank you for reading, and for being here!! Enjoy the Jasper and Kai birbs up there, I hope they could make you smile a little :'))

*(unless I find something else that I have to fix, I spent hours sitting in absolute darkness staring at my screen like a real hackerman, coding and fixing and working out various kinks in my shop LOL)
