I can finally make this post! (Patreon)

Hello everyone :).

After two harsh past years I can finally make this post informing you all.

I will not go into much details but I can give a short explanation. 

1) HOUSING

You all know that commissions etc... were delayed for numerous reasons due to RL issues.

I finally found the chance to move on to my own house (again) and I took it. For the past 2 years I have been working on 2-3 different jobs here and there, part-time, and even drawing when I could to afford my goal. I chose to renovate my Grandparents house, which we were using pretty much as a storage space. Mind you that house was build in the 1950's......

Through numerous other obstacles I have finally moved to a renovated house of my own. Do not imagine a super luxurious villa or something XD. And all those part-time jobs have been now put to stop ever since the past week. Some of those part-time jobs were thanks to close real life friends/relatives who were literally providing me with work at their own family businesses!!!

2) BUSINESS

Next I have finally made my official business papers and delivered them to the local public services for Greece tax Collection Agency and I am waiting for my business VAT number to be issued and officially start. What is that job your asking......................well drawing off course >:D!!!! I will be giving it a serious shot from now on. Of course that means me paying taxes and VAT included in the prices. For anyone that doesn't know I am and currently live in Greece and the taxation here.........sucks. We have a plain 24% taxation in everything. Until I get my VAT number I will not change my base prices and even then I will consider it strongly and will be issuing a poll to get your opinions.

A new business name and business brand will be issued, which I decided for myself and will be featured over here and all the other platforms I use and or decide to join as well. Those will be uploaded once my papers are ready....

In case you are not familiar with the "Greek" business opening schematics....................yeah it can take up to 3 months and more for them to issue the papers etc......to allow you to open................but I can not wait that long anymore....it has already been a freaking month XD.....

Also when said papers are finally issued I will be changing the account, upgrading it into a business one or create a new on PAYPAL, according to my accountant for the future payments etc...

3) PRICES

For now prices remain as you know them, as I mentioned above. For any future changes you will be notified and vote for them in case you disagree etc... !!! I am not going to change anything, price related, unless people vote for it!

4) STREAMING

Next on the line of news. From tomorrow Monday 05/02/2024 I will re-assume streaming at PICARTO.TV: https://picarto.tv/MicheSan

I will try out a literal working-schedule which will be reflected mostly through Streaming. Monday-Friday I will be streaming at Picarto.tv from 10:00 in the morning to 17:00 in the evening in my time-zone which is: Eastern European Standard Time GMT+2. I will try to be making mentions of the Stream on Twitter and over here before starting. If at some point I do not feel like Streaming I will make an announcement mentioning so. Do not expect a microphone conversation, since for some reason on PICARTO it kinda sucks for me, even though on Discord it works just fine. Who knows maybe in the future I will make a Discord channel?

I will be focusing mainly on commissions, old and new, and if time allows it maybe doodles. I want to try to have Weekends off if possible. If I see that this is not possible I might be streaming on Saturdays and bring back the old Saturday Streams XD.....Anyway this is to be seen in the future.

I do realize that most of you that follow me live in different USA time zones...........some of you freak out when you see me "awake" talking to you on abnormal hours, for example 6:00 am in the morning for me. That is what I want to change because quite frankly............it's not healthy. I  can not count how many times in the past 2 years I have been sleeping for 3-4 hours per day just to draw and deliver some things......this will change now. Maybe on some occasions I might do a night Stream here and there but it will not be the majority of it.

5) PATREON

I will inform you all for some changes that I have in mind once my papers are issued and will make polls for certain things that I have in mind! 

For now, no new TIERS will be issued or any current ones paused or canceled!

6) WORKFLOW

As mentioned I want to maintain from now on a steady workflow. For all of you that I owe stuff, you will get them steadily. If I stick to one thing, that I have previously mentioned here and on some of you on Discord, is that I have not downgraded the quality of what I draw and if anything I can say I have improved and I can still do so moving forward!!!!

There is no way I can thank you for your GALACTIC PATIENCE AND SUPPORT for the past 2 years even with said commissions T_T...............

Slow and steady I will move on and deliver them!!!!!! I now need to strike a balance for old a new ones!

I will be opening the same Commission Tier in Deviant-Art as well for now for 3x Slots. Plans are to expand to pixiv way later one.

7) FUTURE PLANS

TBA
