While I appreciate that people have still been donating even though I haven't been producing content for Patreon (its been genuinely helpful while I've been in moving/home limbo), I still haven't had time to redo the page and start integrating new rewards. It looks like that'll be for November.
So this is your heads up to cancel your pledge for October, since I know I can't produce any rewards this month. November things will be different.
2017-10-27 11:22:22 +0000 UTC View PostSo another month has passed where I couldn't make any content, and yet people still pledged. I feel bad, but also grateful, because it has helped me out, but I haven't had anything to give for awhile.
This is a heads up that I'm rewriting my page today to reflect my inability to create for Patreon today. I shoulda done it before but I been distracted.
In October, I'm gonna redo everything cuz I'm actually gonna have stuff in development to share to Patrons again after I'm done moving fro...

I just wanted to say thank you to the pledgers who've continued to kick money my way, even though I've been too busy to make content, rendering this Patreon a glorified tip jar.
I'm going to try to make it up to y'all, with more page previews , and some perks. For example, I'm making a bonus digital comic for my currently running Kickstarter -- I'm going to make it available here as well when its done.
I really do appreciate the help, I can't tell you how much that extra bit of money has...
2017-02-01 15:05:59 +0000 UTC View PostWell, as I'm sure anyone who follows me on social media knows, I spent April completely swamped. I am still behind on work, too. But I'm completely moved in to new place, I don't gotta pay for 2 apartments at once when May starts. Good feelings.
May is gonna be busy, but a busy content-creating month, so there's going to be a flood of new things here throughout. Holy moly, I got plans for May.

Got this in just under the wire. Full of sketches I've done, some stuff I've never shared, and even Steven Universe fanart cuz I have lost control of my life. And it's fun.
edit: Wowie I accidentally attached the InDesign file. Uuuuh sorry! Fixed now.
2016-04-01 02:48:09 +0000 UTC View PostOnce again: I have been too swamped to do ANYTHING for this Patreon. And I'm even more swamped now that I'm trying to budget for a move to a new apartment this month. So, as before, if y'all cancel your pledges you WILL NOT hurt my feelings. I haven't even been able to find time for my webcomic, and even Dirty Old Ladies fell by the wayside. Things should even out after I move though!
Right now I'm putting together a PDF of fanart and stuff for ALL patrons, as an "I'm sorry" thing for slac...
2016-03-01 00:15:46 +0000 UTC View PostFirst off a note: I'm finishing up the sketchbook PDF for the Dec patrons and zipping up a bunch of my sketches for y'all as well. Sorry it took so long.
As most of you know, I've been super busy. Once again, if you all want to cancel your pledges for January, please know that you will not hurt my feelings. I know I haven't been able to make any extra content. I'm also about to change the details/format of my Patreon, and will explain that below.
I've been b-u-s-y. In addit...
2016-02-01 06:23:46 +0000 UTC View Post... would Patreon backers be disappointed or delighted if the PDF of sketches was 100% Steven Universe fanart I haven't shared with anyone yet.... because that's what I have in abundance.
Just a preview of Slipshine inks, mostlybecause a) my inks have been solid all around lately b) I love their faces so much.

Here are the early previews of page 218, which will go up Wednesday! As you can see, I've caught up on work and am back to a) working on LMN b) posting early pages.
2015-12-29 02:00:56 +0000 UTC View PostInexplicably I said in my last post it would be my "last update" which was not true at all, I do not know why I typed that, because I want to bring content back to the Patreon in December.
2015-11-30 17:54:56 +0000 UTC View PostAs is obvious, I haven't been able to make/post any extra content. Aside from life stuff getting in the way, I've been weirdly busy, working on several projects -- some I am doing pro-bono, others I might get payed for later. I may even be graduating to a job with a company I already do freelance for in December, but to date all the work I've done in that direction has been free, haha. I'm even technically in a meeting as I type this.
So I'm in a weird flux state of tons to do and little o...
2015-11-30 16:04:17 +0000 UTC View PostJust wanted to let y'all know that if you decide to cancel your pledges for October, no hard feelings. With as awkward a month I had, I just didn't have time to make extra content or do request streams. I'm gonna do my best to get back on track. Sorry.
2015-11-01 16:01:11 +0000 UTC View PostSo heads up -- my attempts to fix my sleep schedule failed and I am gonna be way too groggy to live stream today. But I don't want sketch requesters to go without, so what I'm going to do is nap, and then do all the sketch requests in my sketch book to scan and send everyone tomorrow.
I'm still gonna do a livestream, I kinda really want to, it'd be fun. But I just want to get people their sketches sooner, maybe have the live stream just be pure silliness to relax.
2015-10-09 20:02:00 +0000 UTC View PostI had two rough attempts at live streaming the requests (I think there was a server issue the first time) but I'm gonna try again tomorrow at around 2pm pacific time here: https://picarto.tv/amandalafrenais
2015-10-08 14:23:17 +0000 UTC View PostDue to taking a pet to emergency vet in middle of night, my schedule has been thrown off, so the live stream will be tomorrow (Saturday) at 2pm PDT at the usual place (picarto.tv/live/channel.php?watch=amandalafrenais)
If you were a $5 backer and want to request a sketch, please respond to this post. You can request up to 3 sketches. If I run out of sketches to do, I will fill the time with sketches for tips. I will also be doing the sketches I missed last month.
2015-10-02 19:34:09 +0000 UTC View PostMany of y'all know that September has been a really rough month for me. I have not had the energy to make extra content for Patreon and I'm super sorry about it. I've also been trying to update Love Me Nice twice a week, and picked an awful time to start and depleted the tiny buffer I had, making it not possible to post early pages. I was also too depressed to live stream, and just ended up not doing it. I mean, on the plus side, Love Me Nice has updates twice a week for a few weeks now, which i...
2015-09-30 18:53:05 +0000 UTC View PostThe Patreon sketch request live stream has been moved to tomorrow: my week got off to a rough start. Sorry!
I finished inking page 209. It's waiting for 2 more pages before it goes online, I hope I can have those done a week from now. That'd be nice!
2015-08-28 21:52:03 +0000 UTC View Post
Here's a preview of page 2 of the Slipshine comic I'm finishing up for September's update. I'm attempting colors for the first 5 pages and whooooo it's a challenge.

Sorry for lack of updates, I've been busy and kind of stressed out over my current workload. I'm trying real hard to work on Love Me Nice when I can.
I have introduced some new milestones and reward tiers, with my workload in mind. Feel free to check them out. I'll have these inks shared too.

I forgot to share the Patreon request sketches individually, and I didn’t realize Patreon didn’t let you you post a bunch of images in one post, so here they are on Tumblr!

Tomorrow I'll be live streaming, and $5 July Patrons can request sketches, up to 3. You do not have to be present for the live stream. Just respond to this with your request, and I'll draw it and share it on the patreon when the stream is over!
The stream itself will be public.

2015-07-18 17:09:03 +0000 UTC View PostSo hey! June was my first month switching to the "general art" theme, and I'm pretty cool with it. I'm putting together a small PDF of art/sketches, I'm going to share more Titty Time previews when the update goes online on Slipshine, and I've been typing up a bunch of concept/development work to go with sketches and share with everyone. I am happy Love Me Nice is updating, I'm working on more pages for that.
And as my previous update stated, today marks the first Request Stream of ...
2015-07-01 17:29:45 +0000 UTC View PostToday at 1pm PST I will be doing a request live stream, where I'll be taking requests from $5 level patrons from the month of June. If you would like to request a sketch, you can respond with you request in the comments, or in the live stream chat. If you cannot be at the live stream, I will share the request sketches here afterwards.
I will also be taking $10 sketch requests, particularly if there are not many Patron requests, which is open to anyone.
Also I'll be ...
