Hallo hallo patrons and guests!
Around this time of year I post my annual schedule and queues for my Patreon, alerting patrons and interested guests of the new year's scheduled away time. While planning the upcoming schedule, I have found the workloads for my Patreon and my commission work are simply not compatible as they are right now. The volume of monthly Patreon rewards demands an immense amount of time and attention, and thus a backlog of work has slowly begun to accumula...

Hallo hallo patrons!
This is an early announcement that due to a scheduled surgery, I will be extending my Patreon pause from July into August. This surgery, while not focused on my arms [and by proxy, drawing capabilities] directly, will likely impact my mobility and therefore I may be unable to fulfill my monthly Patreon obligations.

This is an announcement that I will be retiring adoptable bases from 2020 and older effective May 2023.
Over the years I've come to create dozens of bases, and I'm thrilled that so many of you have enjoyed them! Of course, with time and practice comes the development of skill - and I'm proud to say my artistic skills have grown beyond the quality of my earlier bases. As I like to keep things [relatively] current, I will be retiring 2019 and 2020's bases. These older bases are not cons...

This goal bonus has been fulfilled monthly for well over a year, and I am beyond honoured and thrilled that so many of you enjoy my work! As a thank you to my patrons, I am opting to keep this feature going forward ...
