Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, and thank you! (Patreon)

To all of my patrons here: I really can't express this enough. If there has been any one major thing this year I'm thankful for, it's your cumulative support. I genuinely could not have done all of this without you, all of you, of any tier or pledge. You're all amazing people with the willingness to take your hard-earned money and help me earn my own from a small piece of that. I constantly want to keep this page active and make it very clear I don't expect, demand, or take for granted any of this support, I want it to feel worthwhile, and keep growing.

Sure, I could do art for a living without Patreon. It's a bit harder and a fair bit more boring, as I wouldn't have the finances to stop taking commissions all the time and explore comics and blogs and dive into character making, doing streams, etc. It's possible I'd get burned out fast. Before Patreon I was doing the commission and paysite thing; a lot of my ideas and desires to do new characters and stories just had to wait "until I had time". So in a way you've all given me that: time. I want to make work that you all enjoy. I know sometimes I'll do subjects or characters that won't suit everyone's tastes, but while it'd be foolish of me to think I can please everyone all the time, it would be more foolish of me to not try. I really appreciate the comments and suggestions you guys make, and am always open to hear more, about other forms of rewards, files, ongoing work, etc.

I don't live in a lap of luxury, especially after taxes, loans, bills.. but you all have helped me gain a huge step in confidence, and security in a way, and I'm ever grateful. I hope it keeps growing to a point where I can do even MORE; comic pages, pinups... other types of work if I can, like animation or eventually a long-running webcomic featuring the story in my head of ARA, Nytro, and the others. But that's a large goal for another day. At the moment I just want to give you guys, my supporters, a big heap of quality files and updates, get a look into the processes, and see the results of your help, while maybe give other artists proof that they don't need to paywall their art to make Patreon work.

So thank you, for the comments, the feedback, the appreciation, and the massive support. It means a whole lot to me. Double thank-yous to the folks who spread the compliments about this Patreon around, too; every bit helps! Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, Seasons Greetings.. whatever you celebrate, if at all, I wish you well. You're the best. Arouuunnd.
