Monthly Report: September 2021 (Patreon)

Preface:
Greetings my cherished benefactors.
Allow me to give you my deepest heartfelt gratitude for supporting my art and helping me realize my passion. :3
I love drawing and I'd like to keep doing it for the foreseeable future. And thanks to your help, I'm able to sustain myself as a freelance artist.
Sometimes life gets on the way, sometimes I don't get much sleep or I have to announce delays, but rest assured I will fulfill all of your rewards in due time.
I hope that you guys stay with me and are able to support me in the long term, I'd be very grateful.
In the event that you can't, please don't worry. Investing in art is a luxury and it's perfectly understandable if you need to use your money for other things. Don't hurt yourselves in order to help me.

This month, life stuff thankfully slowed down.
No new tablet anytime soon (Huion support ghosted me after a lot of back and forth.)
I'm saving up for a replacement but I'm a bit spooked with Huion atm. I'll see if I can save enough and find a way to get a Cintiq as close to MSRP as possible, otherwise I'll just buy a pad tablet. That being said, please do tell me if you feel quality has diminished due to lack of proper equipment.
On that note, I've noticed less feedback and many patrons in the server don't seem as satisfied with artworks as prior months. I urge you to please let me know any concerns you have and if you are pleased with rewards and the quality of artworks. Any suggestions for something new? What do you feel I'm doing wrong? please let me know.
Back on topic, quota was met and we had a ton of lewd variations too. I finally worked on the VN title screen, which was a lot of characters and work (still I'm happy with how it was received.)
Overall, I am very happy with this month's artworks and I thank you all for your amazing reception and support. Thanks so very much! *bows*

Reminder: Rewards are now distributed via Google drive link which is posted on every finished artwork and on monthly reports. Rewards are added as they are completed. Do keep the link handy. You can still get the rewards the old way, but there's no telling when Patreon will downscale files (seems pretty random.)
