A message from Catie (Patreon)

Hi everyone! Thank you for your continued support on here. I’m sorry it’s been so quiet for the past month— I’ve started a new job! It’s not art-related (at least not all the time), but it’s interesting and a good steady income. Ideally I want to find a good balance of time and energy to be able to do regular freelance artwork alongside this day job, but I’ve been learning so much while getting settled into my new job that I’ve been feeling really tired out when I get home, so new art has been slow in coming. I have some newly-completed commissioned artwork I want to share here, but I still have to save out images of the different steps for each piece and write up those posts. I hope to get that done soon!

I mostly wanted to use this post to say thank you again for everyone here. Patreon feels like a special place to share more in-depth stuff about my art and thought process than I share elsewhere, and I’m grateful to you all for supporting my art and enjoying my posts. It sincerely means a lot to me. Thank you for your patience while I get my work/work/life balance rearranged again.
