Some delays in Patreon work... (Patreon)

It's been a rough week, a really rough week. We had to "say goodbye" to our awesome cat last night — medicine and treatments could not keep up with his condition. We had to ease his suffering. (I had mentioned his ailment here back in an August post.) (In true 2020 fashion, it was even harder as this is the second time in 7 months we had to do this, saying goodbye to our other cat at the beginning of Covid.)

Then today, one of my best friends (my best man) had to undergo emergency heart surgery. (Still waiting to hear the outcome). It was a total blind-sided event as he is quite fit and only about 50. I've known him since the very beginning of elementary school.

On the better side, tomorrow and Friday we will be celebrating "Thanksgiving" holiday here in the U.S. and will be with some family (very small gatherings during Covid).

Add to all these delays, all 3 Commissions required some extra work between the winners and me to come up with the final concept.

I have completed the Color Commission earlier today (enjoying the distraction from "real life"), including all aspects of the project — WIPs, PSD file, and Speed Process Video. These will be posting on this schedule (all times EST or UTC -5):

• WIPs:   Wed., Nov 25,  5pm
• Low and High-res Finals:  Thu., Nov 26, 9:00-9:01am
• Speed Process Video:  Fri., Nov 27, 9am
• PSD file:  Fri., Nov 27, 5pm

These posts are automatically scheduled to post, as I won't be around.

The Black-and-White and Sketch Commissions (and accompanying items) will be worked on Monday (and on Sat and Sun if I can take some time). If I don't finish these by the end of the month (which I always try to do, unlike a few other Patron pages), they will be the first items to appear in December. If you have ended your Patronage at the end of November, I will try to email you the missed Patron Awards. (Email me at ba@bustartist.com if you don't hear from me after the first week of December.)

There will be no grOw/cinema previews this week as NO work has been done on the next issue at all this week. I am focusing my time and effort on completing my Patreon work.

Thank you for your understanding.  You supporters are great and allow me a greater safety net between grOw releases.
