🍬A Delicious Weekly Update!!🍬 (Patreon)

Hey, y’all!!

Hope you’re keeping life safe n clean. Let’s get into what I got goin on this week for you!

WELCOME NEW PATRONS!!

First I want to thank 💜Zaffytaffy💜 for being the next top-tier patron!! Dude I can’t thank you enough for signing up for this particular tier. Given our current climate, it means so much that you’re willing to provide for me and all of my creative endeavors. Deeply and truly, thank you. :3

And the same goes for SwatKat, Regal, Sin, Roylee, JrSonic 2003, Stefan Vincent, and Ant for supporting me, too!! The kindness from people like you and all of my other supporters gives me the lift I need to keep pushing forward with my projects and challenges. Looking forward to another amazing month with y’all. UwU

WHAT TO EXPECT THIS WEEK

For starters, I want to thank all of you for the encouragement while I put together last week’s illustration. I feel the restart was a super good move for me. While I’m still in the midst of coloring it, I should have it completed today!

Thursday I had scheduled a 1-week vacation to go to Hawaii with my friends, but that had to be cancelled for obvious reasons. So my vacation has turned into a staycation! Thing is... I’ve had a really difficult time forcing myself to not work. I felt it necessary to keep working on my Patreon work during my vacation. This space has been so therapeutic for my creativity to flow more freely and focus on the projects that matter to me most. But part of that process is knowing when to take time off for myself. Knowing when to cool off is important if I want to keep creating content.

I’ve been thinking a lot about how I want to keep making content here and give myself the balance I need to stay motivated and healthy. I’ll be giving myself a week off Patreon every 6 weeks or every other month. On top of the work I do here, I also work full-time in the games industry as a concept artist. It’s a LOT of work to do my job, Patreon, and my own personal projects at the same time. These breaks are something I need. I hope y’all can understand. ; w ;

In terms of what I’ll be doing this week, I have a concept for a hot-as-heck Minotaur illustration! I haven’t sketched him out yet, but I’ll definitely have something to share in time for WIP Wednesday! After that, however, I’ll be taking the week off to refocus and take a much deserved breather.

I hope y’all understand where I’m coming from. A year and 3 months of solid, weekly illustrations and comics without a break isn’t healthy for anybody. Taking these breaks will help lift my mood, ensure newer projects can come in, and will directly impact the quality of my work. I want to make stuff I’m proud of. Not for the sake of keeping a schedule, but for the sake of my own happiness and fulfillment.

I don’t say this enough, but I’m genuinely thankful for the friends and the fanbase I’ve made over the past year here. Thank you for sticking with me and for genuinely the best group of supporters ever. 💜🐺💜🐺💜
