Personal Updates + Reminders! (Patreon)

(If you'd like to skip my personal life, there is a TLDR at the bottom!)

Hey everyone! :D

I hope you all had a happy Thanksgiving if you celebrated, I know its definitely one of my favorite times because I LOVE the food hahaha. I realized something I don't think about often: cooking a good meal for others brings me a lot of joy. The happy feeling is similar to when I deliver an art piece to someone, and it makes them smile :')

I'm very thankful for those of you who support my art here. It's quite honestly a HUGE help and I cannot say that enough. Thank you for all that you do <3

As a personal update- I've been discussing a larger role for me with my boss at CreativeWorkshop, however she may not be able to consider this fully until January. Now I would consider going to get a local part time position, but I'm also already sealed for a flight/trip to work Holiday Matsuri for the week of Christmas, and I don't think its very appealing to employers if I show up and say "Hey I can work for like... 3 weeks" lol.

So that being said, for now I've decided it's probably best to just keep on filling that income with sketch pieces and/or maybe another YCH. I've had a holiday idea in mind since last year that I never got around to doing, so we might be seeing that one haha. As always though, I'm also open to any ideas you guys want to suggest ^^

As said in my communication to those in my current queue, I'm still working through those pieces one by one, and I appreciate your patience with me in this time of financial instability ♥

To keep things easier while I prepare for the new year as well- Fanart will likely be an optional thing for December. I've got the Nov one in progress which will be fall Leafeon (there was a tie, so I picked the one I wanted more this time). If I *do* make a fanart piece for December, it may just be a sketchy one that I make on my own choice, but I'll be prioritizing income and commission work over that so may not happen. We'll see!

And lastly- if anyone somehow missed it- Please remember tiers + pricing is changing in January! I've pinned my post explaining these changes, so please take some time to read that if you can <3
I'll try my best to make the switch as seamless as possible, but this is your second heads up in case you are losing any benefits with your current tier!

Thanks for reading all this if you did- you're an absolute treasure! 💕

TLDR:
1. Commission queue is slowly progressing atm while I figure out my job situation. I will be opening sketch commissions or a single YCH once more before the end of the year.

2. Nov fanart is Leafeon - December fanart will be unlikely due to commission priority, but if it happens it will be by my choice.

3. PLEASE REMEMBER ALL PATREON TIERS ARE CHANGING AFTER JAN 1ST!
THERE IS A PINNED POST ON THE FRONT PAGE TO EXPLAIN THIS <3
