An Important (?) Update (Patreon)

Hey there, guys.

I just wanted to thank each and every one of you for your support. I've received quite the influx of Patrons over the last couple of weeks (assuming it's got to do with the Makoto series people are fans of created by RankerH and I) and receiving emails from Patreon saying I have a new person pledging has brought a big smile to my face, making those days a lot better.

Recently, I've had to resign from the first proper, paying job I had and have lost any stable source of income, with the government taking their own sweet time to help me out while I search for a job. Bills and the like have thrown my bank account into a neat -$250 AUD. While that doesn't sound like much on the outlook, most money I get does go to my mother who is the sole earner of a three person (and a dog) household. Of course, for ever $5 and up supporter - an amount will go to RankerH for his collaborative efforts on the Beach Queen: Makoto Niijima series. Due to issues where he comes from, it's difficult for us to work which is why you don't see new entries of the series as often as I - or as I'm sure - you would like. He has been extremely kind and understanding knowing my current situation.

I will be doing my best to fill in those gaps with content, whether it's NSFW art (or maybe even SFW), SFM work (posters for now, although I'd love to learn animation) or maybe even other things like music or writing (this will be very experimental, I know).

At this very moment, I have two commissions on deck - an art piece and a short fan-fiction, which have both been paid for and I personally feel are overdue, so I'm going to do them; alongside an art trade with another artist - but the lingering stress, anxiety and depression that comes with knowing my situation remains, so I ask you to bear with me during this time.

With my Patreon slowly but surely rising (and hopefully it'll get somewhere and people will stay)  - I want to do more for it, and for you guys. I may be changing the tiers with reasonable adjustments, but it's so I know my content will be stuff you guys want.

If you're able to help me out more, you could go here and throw something my way. Any and all help is appreciated but by no means necessary.

I want to thank you again for all your support and sticking with me. Here's to a good second half of 2019 and beyond. :)
