The future of Patreon for me!

Hi guys! I'm making some major changes to Patreon here.

I'm no longer going to be doing monthly Patreon rewards as I haven't been able to keep up with this model of working for a long time now.

It's not fair to everyone who constantly has to wait for me and deal with me being unreliable.

I'm still going to have my patreon open but it will be more of a support platform instead of a rewards based one.

So if you want to continue to support my work you can do so he...

Briar weapon - 3D modeling and pepakura

Today I tackled the biggest part of this costume and the moat exciting part too - the weapon! I did something I've never done before for myself and made my own 3D model for the briar weapon in blender. Then I transfered this into a pepakura file to use for my final pattern and it worked! 😱 I'm so excited to put this together ! The final briar pattern will be part of this month's Patreon rewards!

Tutorial Format - 1 book or many books?

Hi Guys!

I have a lot of changes happening at the moment so I have once again paused patreon!

But In the meantime I am working on the star guardian kaisa book/books.

So my main question now is do you prefer the 4 part tutorials where they are split into sections.

Or would you prefer 1 super long book (file size would also be very large) but everything is in once place?

I want to do tutorials in a way you guys enjoy so let me know what you prefer

More updates

Hi everyone. I'm so sorry for the lack of updates and progress here. The separation from my partner has been a lot more complicated than I anticipated and so it's set me back quite a bit. I'm currently dealing with some legal matters and litigation around my business which has been pulling my focus.

I just want to apologize for the mess this has caused to all of you here on Patreon. I really cannot say how sorry I am that I've fallen so behind and its not fair to everyone here.
