January reward available and future plans

Thanks for waiting, the January reward is now available in the monthly rewards channel on Discord. I would also like to talk about some of the plans I have for this year.

Firstly, from now on I will attempt to do more rewards per month, with each individual reward having fewer variations to make it more manageable(probably two or three variations each). I know that may sound unlikely to be doable considering my working speed so far, but I really want to be able to offer rewar...

November reward now available

Thanks for waiting and sorry for the delay, the November reward is now available in the rewards channel on Discord. I'll normally delete rewards at the end of the month, but since this is last month's reward I'll leave it available for one week.

To avoid messing up my work schedule, I don't pause the billing so long as I think that the reward can be finished in just a few extra days. However I'm often poor at estimating how much time things will take, and I apologize that it ...

This months reward available and difficulties I've been having

As mentioned earlier, I would like to talk about why it takes me so long to finish drawings in a little more detail.

As an artist I'm not a pro, or anywhere close to being one. At my level, to make decent quality art it takes huge amounts of time and effort, and I still often end up finding mistakes afterwards(earlier I even noticed this months reward has some small errors, and I'll be uploading fixed versions of the last four images shortly). Trying to run a Patreon with my ...

Slight change to the timing for rewards

Up until now I hadn't given a specific time for when new rewards would be available, as I would just try to finish them by the end of each month, and with recent rewards being delayed things have been kind of a mess. 

I also realized that it's not a good idea for me to keep works for the previous month available in the rewards channel, as this could be exploited.

To fix this, and to make things clearer overall, from now on I will release new rewards at the beginning of each m...

Newest reward available on Discord

Sorry for the delay again, the reward for August is now finished. 

Generally, I shouldn't need a whole month just to complete a single work, or to delay rewards until the next month. Recent rewards have been delayed because the work for July in particular gave me quite a lot of trouble, since it was a more detailed/complex work than usual and I rushed to try and finish it in time(resulting in lots of small errors I kept noticing and wanting to fix).

Updated version of July reward + new WIPs on Discord

I have fixed/improved some details on the previous months' reward, such as redrawing Lillie's body, changing some of the expressions, adjusting the brightness, and numerous other small fixes. 

I uploaded some WIPs for this months' reward, which I'll try my best to finish on time. If I can't do it in time, I will just pause the billing even if it's nearly finished, rather than putting you all in an uncertain situation where you need to wait longer than you should have to....

My internet is currently down

I was planning to upload the fixed version of my newest work, but my internet is down and won’t be fixed for another four days or so...

I thought I could transfer them across with Bluetooth and then upload them from my phone, but for whatever reason they wouldn’t transfer.

Sorry for it taking this long. Even with no internet connection, I can at least still work on drawings in the meantime.

New reward available on Discord

I apologize for the delay, but the reward for July is now available on Discord. 

I may have been over ambitious with this work, and as a result it ended up taking longer than I thought, and was also a bit rushed. I'm not quite satisfied with it, so I would like to spend just a few more days fixing up some parts of it. That may sound unreasonable, what with it already being delayed, but once I'm done with it I will get straight to work on this months' reward(which will mo...

Small update

Hey,

Discord server will be ready soon. I'm just not very familiar with Discord, and need to learn/test some things. The finished Mao/Mallow work is also coming soon. Please bear with me a bit longer!

Activity paused momentarily

Hey everyone, I know I only posted about this earlier, but due to some of my content going against the Patreon community guidelines, I have to sort some stuff out, and have temporarily paused the billing. 

I am planning on setting up a Discord server soon; once it is ready, please join to hear more updates. 

I apologize for the inconvenience, and if things seem a bit chaotic right now. I will try to get things sorted out as soon as possible.  2019-05-31 22:46:38 +0000 UTC View Post

If I can't finish a work in time...

Hey everyone, I have almost finished my current work, but in case I can't finish it before the end of the month, I will briefly pause my account so that you won't be charged at the beginning of next month. 

Still, I will try to get it done in the next couple of days(it's a set of three drawings, so it's taking longer than I thought...).

Yumi

Not exactly a WIP, just practicing drawing a character. I will probably draw her for my next work.

Thanks, reward details, and future plans

Firstly, I want to thank all of you for your support! 

To be honest, I went in to this without a very solid plan, and a lack of proper research into how a Patreon should be run. In particular, I didn't give enough thought to how my reward system would work, which is something a creator should make clear from the start. 

For the time being, I'm thinking of doing it like this:

Each month I will post a completed work on Patreon...
