Hey my dear patrons, I've been thinking about making this post for some time, I guess i needed to clean up my thoughts first.

I know I haven't been doing my best lately, it's been a tough year to be honest. I wish it didn't affect my work, but I guess it's always going to show. I havent posted as much, and I've been late many times with the artpacks and failed to deliver with many of the monthly rewards. 

For all of that I'm sorry. It's never been my intention for it to happen, but sometimes I get in my head and it freezes me up, or slows me down. Specially when I'm already feeling down, it causes me to work less and feel more down, it's a vicious cycle.

I am very thankful for all the support I've received all these years, and drawing is my passion. That's been clear to me for over a decade now. and the least I can do to thank you is to go ahead and show you what I'm working on, and have the rewards ready for you guys. You're after all the reason I'm able to work in this!

I can't now fix what I have (or haven't) done in the past, but I can make sure to make it up in the present. 

it's why I'm going to  make some changes in patreon and rewards. specially for the 25$ and 40$ tier. Instead of choosing one of each level, which many times was a bit stressful because it depended on who joined or left those tiers, and continuously check i'm not messing the order, I decided to make rewards for all of you in those tiers.

But I cant do a full color art for everyone or I wouldn't have time to do anything else. so for all 25$ tier patrons, I'll make a sketch of a single character of their choosing every month. and for every 40$ tier patron I'll make a cleaner lineart of up to 2 characters!

So I'm also making sure to keep you up to what I'm working on, and post more WIPS and other things, not everything needs to be a full color piece with a dozen variations. I want to have more variety.

Also I'm making many changes in my personal life and work life to better organize my own stuff. many times I've worked all day in something, but when I finish I'm too tired to post anything online.

And lastly, I'm going back to doing more streams too. so for those who enjoy watching me draw, it's good news!

So, thanks again for all your support, I really appreciate it and I'll make sure to do my part so you enjoy following me and my work!

That was an extremely long wall of text haha sorry!  But I wanted to let you know.

Thanks everyone, and I love you guys, girls and others! <3

Hey, Tom. I'm really sorry to hear about all the troubles you've had this past year. I wish things had been easier for you. Believe me, if there's something I'm continuously learning about being an artist with a Patreon campaign, it's that it can't end up dominating your life and that you always have to evolve and adapt what you do with it as you go. It's too easy for us to get exhausted from the desire to create, or the feeling that we HAVE to create. I have all the faith in you that you're making the right decisions in terms of what you need in both your personal and professional life, and I think it's great that you're taking stock of everything. You're really examining how you want to go forward, and that's awesome. Just remember to take care of yourself and not let the art become a chore or have it dominate you. I'm wishing you all the very best, my friend, and know that I and your other Patrons will always be here to enjoy your beautiful, sexy art and do our very best to support you in every way we can. Much love to you, and thanks for all the GORGEOUS ART! XOXOX
