Focus results and some business (Patreon)

Focus Results:

Okay, I got 4 files running: 

-Started developing some slightly artsy Nagatoro's similar to these Hana's which might be a little less risque than we'd all like, but I wanna theme on the recent chapter. I'll stick to her normal hairstyle with the clips because she looked uncanny to me throughout. (Speaking of the Hana's, there's three drawings, but I'll make seperate posts too devoted to the paintings since I drew those large and scaled down. Not sure of the posting order but we'll see)

-Opened a file for a very brief OC goof. Sort of a comic but not really. This all came from me clicking with Splatoon 3's Shiver's design suddenly and wanting to mess with that, but instead of chasing clout by doing that I wanted to play with my own stuff. Ideally I'll funnel these random ideas into the OC's.

-Birthday/private OC file was already open, not sure how presentable or final it'll end up being, I just like to post stuff on the day and be max self-indulgent. It might just be a dump of the sketches/design process.

-Saya comic R&D file was already open, which is where the SketchUp stuff on Twitter was living. This is more an excuse to practice backgrounds, facial expressions, and light physical comedy and stage direction. Original idea was it being a first-person thing, but that might be too limited so I'm having a rethink.

Also, every year I go without drawing Evangelion-anything bothers me, and I want to do it at some point. Hopefully not in another year.

As always, I may choke on any of these, lol.

Another thing. While the laptop itself is working fine, I've been doing all of this on a 10 year old machine and various things are literally breaking and melting, in addition to OS support dying. I've been intending to upgrade for the last year or two and have been saving, but I'm down to my last 2-3 months before I HAVE to bite the bullet. I want a buffer in place so there's no disruption, but if there is this will be the reason why. 

Relatedly, UK economic issues and potential power disruptions in the winter are scary and I sorta want to increase the minimum tier, or introduce higher tiers for H content, but ultimately I don't want to disrupt any of you suddenly. Times are tough, but if you wanted to increase your pledge to help ease mine, or to help fund the grand's worth of semi-custom devices that I'll be working on, it would be very appreciated.
