Update Status - August 2020 (Resuming Works & Charges) (Patreon)

Hello there,

I hope where ever you all are, you are all doing great even within all the dire circumstances we all are living in. Hang in there! I love you guys, girls and wolves. It really means a lot seeing that I still have your support after so many years. 

So...Where Have I been? Well I've been around, just doing other stuff in real life or just not doing much to be honest. I've been living with my family since Covid started. Trying to work on other things while supporting each other. 

But I have to say,  my lack of art content doesn't have ties with the current pandemic situation. Although I've had my fair share of health issues that I've been taking care off lately, luckily none of those have been related to this deadly disease.

My major problem when it comes to produce the content that you like, it had been related to mental issues. Something I've had to deal with  since my last time around here, and for those who follow me for longer, for many years now. 

Depression is a difficult thing to explain, it varies how deeply affects each person and sometimes it can even affect you physically, a result I've experienced it myself (Anxiety disorders, vertigo, intense headaches and more).

In any case, drawing was not an option when you feel so empty inside. And I know this has been a cycle with me for the past several years. And this may not be my last hiatus at all. 

But I have to acknowledge that there is something more clear to me now, that if I want to feel more at home when working and drawing is that I can't keep writing down promises that I can't keep for long period of times. 

I can't deny part of my disappointment was because of the failure that Alpha Luna was for me after so many years of work, almost nobody was replying to my pages at the website anymore and here just seeing the same person (which I adore btw, thank you Simone for always being around) that wasn't enough. I know there are a few lurkers around here, so I thank you too for staying around despite my lack of communication.

But what matters now, as I promised last years is that I finish what I started. Drawing or rather trying to draw the last pages of AL has been an emotional struggle for me. So for now, maybe this month, you'll only see the continuation of the Two AL Chronicles which only need translation work from my side. And I hope you're ok with that.  That said, I'll try my best to bring more, stay tuned.

Now, about the last months fee charges from Patreon...

I know you where charged on May and July (When I wasn't active). Because I just screwed up. Think about it like a light switch, One time I genuinely forgot about to turn it off and the other time I guess I clicked on it twice.

But I want to be honest with you, for many years I never charged when I was on a hiatus because that felt like the right thing to do and I still feel the same way. If you feel you've been robbed because of my miss management, or you're just having money issues, please send me a refund request through Patreon PM and I will do so (just a text with your email will do).

But if you happen to feel that despite my lack of new content you feel you were supporting the artist behind the content too, and you're ok with that. Then I really can't thank you enough. As I said, even when Covid hasn't been a factor on my output of art, it has slowly become a financial crisis that I'm managing with my family.

And I hope you manage to understand where I am coming from.

With all my heart I'm thankful for your care and support.

I'll be resuming works tomorrow.
