Small adjustments on this month's schedule! (Patreon)

Hey everyone, while it's super rare for this type of thing to happen, eventually it needs to be done so the schedule (and rewards) don't get too much delay.

A few things that happened to give a bit more context.

- first of, Alexstrasza pin-up is turning out to be a little more "trouble" than I anticipated. There's just too many complex things in the image that are making it take longer than usual.

- I wanted to make some art related to Aloy due to the DLC release that happened recently. Thing is, this image is in between a pin-up and a voyeur, so it can't really use a voyeur slot but it's also a bit more complex than the usual pin-up.

- I also wanted to make something related to Zelda early next month, but when I started to sketch out the image, more characters started to appear in the image, so it's a lot bigger than initially planned.

- and there's Iris & Maya coming next month ("mermay" related), and images with water effects tend to be a bit more complicated than usual.

Also, all those images are very "timing" sensitive, so that's the reason why they are being done on a more strict schedule. And all of them are going to be a little more complex than usual. So, in order to all of it to be in the quality people come to expect, we'll cut down to 3 arts in April pack, so there's no major delays that end up delaying everything else down the road.

So, how does that affect the current (and next month's) schedule?

Here's the "coming up" schedule (subjected to change)

April
- Maya Haircut (finished)
- Alexstrasza (finishing her this week)
- Megara voyeur (preview this week, finishing up next week)
- Since there's nowhere to include an extra pin-up next month, pin-up poll won't happen in April.
- Voyeur poll will happen as usual.

May
- Aloy
- Zelda "pool party"
- Iris & Maya (Mermay related)
- Voyeur (whoever wins the poll)
- Pin-up poll as usual (the top2 can be featured to compensate for lack of april's pin-up poll).
- Voyeur poll as usual.

Anyway, that pretty much sums up. While I try to avoid making changes in the schedule on the fly, sometimes it's necessary to make sure things come out in the quality that people expect them.

And I always prefer to make sure the images come out as good as they get instead of trying to cram more than it's possible and having delays or sacrificing quality to make deadlines.
