Status Update and content plans. (Patreon)

I want to start out by thanking everyone who has subscribed to my Patreon this month, including those who have given me longtime support. There has been quite an increase in patrons this month, more than I have ever seen in months prior. This gives me a great deal of hope and motivation to becoming liberated as an artist and being able to live and breath my passion without having to sell my time to a company. I realize times are tough for everyone around the world and the fact that you all choose to support me, goes double in thanks. 

As most of you know, I have enabled anniversary billing on this site. The main reason of course was to avoid double charging individuals when they subscribe toward the end of the month, and also so people could schedule their payment on a day that would be ideal for them. I think this is part of the reason why my subscriber base has grown. With that in mind I think it makes sense to change the rigorous content schedule I typically adhere too on a monthly basis. I do understand that the majority of you are still set to make payments on the first. So I'll still be adhering to the monthly schedule "loosely". This doesn't mean there will be less content, just less predictable spacing, some things may not be completed till a little ways into the following month. I think this will help me reduce stress and avoid burnout which I think is the most important thing to consider.

Content started in a certain month will remain in its monthly folder.

For instance the poodle illustration may be completed in December, but will remain in the November folder. 

Things have gotten hectic for me this November, visiting family for the Holidays has taken a lot of time, I'll be attending Midwest Fur Fest, taking a flight to Chicago on the 30th and wont be returning until December 5th. I have plans to begin opening tables at these events so eventually I'll be going to them not just to have fun, but also on business, pursuing my dream and hopefully meeting my supporters and fans. After this convention however, my schedule should be wide open for the next few months as I don't have any big plans for Christmas. My content plans for December include:

A Christmas themed animation possibly containing my stress relief reindeer character Kandy, done prior to Christmas. 

Another animation for the public, commissioned by one of your fellow patrons.

Likely two illustrations, one with alts that may bleed into January.

I'm going to do my best too at least get my poodle illustration done today, but odds are slim. To be honest, the anxiety for me facing this con has been a bit overwhelming, I'm rooming with new friends, many of which support me on this site. I'm sure the con will bring lots of inspiration, so it will certainly be completed when I return.
