Just a little announcement:

The amount of sketch rewards I do each month is steadily increasing. It used to be about 20 per month, lately it's been about 25, and for January, I have a whopping 30 sketches lined up, and the counter might still go up.

And I'm THRILLED about this!! Seriously, the support means so much! ^_^
But in order to keep everyone happy, I'm going to make 2 minor changes to how I do things, starting in February:

• The closing date for the form will be the 25th (was previously the 27th). This gives me a little more time to get everything done, without having to worry that the work is still piling up. ;-) 

• I will stop posting the sketches one by one. Instead, I'll post them in batches. Probably per 5, but I'm not quite sure yet.

This means there will be far fewer posts per month, and believe it or not, that saves me quite a bit of time, especially with the amount of sketches! :-) 

Both of these might be minor inconveniences for you guys, but I trust they really are only minor. Doing this might inconvenience you guys in a minor way, but will benefit me in a far bigger way! :-) 

NOTE: If for whatever reason you don't agree with this, PLEASE let me know! I'm only human, and perhaps by doing this, which to me is but a little thing, I ruin something in a major way for someone else, without realising it. If so, I want to know why, and I will fix it to the best of my abilities! 

Again, thank you all so much for your support, wether you actually get these rewards, or only get to see them. You guys are amazing, I love you so much and cannot thank you enough! ^_^

You do what you gotta do Hof. You're only human after all, can't expect you to work like some sort of machine.

I think I'll actually prefer the batch posting. Because I'm too easily distracted by patreon notifications! 🤣

With your volume of work, you need to organize tasks so they don't create unnecessary stress. Your changes are very minor and shouldn't inconvenience anyone. I support them.

Aww, thank you! It really is awesome to have so many people interested! ^_^

One suggestion. Pick one illustration in each batch to complete all the way to the full color and shading. That way we can all look forward to one illustration each week that is as good as your Under Lock & Key pages. May do one less illustration each week so you can put the extra touches on the best drawing idea.

I'm not sure you're aware of this, but: Every month, the $10 patrons get to choose 1 drawing that gets turned into a full color one. That's an additional reward, really. If I were to pick 1 from each batch, that's probably gonna be 5 or 6 each month. That's... quite a lot of added workload! Plus, I don't think you guys get to see too few finished artwork. I do 3 commission rewards every month, that one poll winner, and any commissions I do on the side. I'm not criticising your comment. I'm very open to suggestions. My problem is that I'm not quite sure why you are suggesting this. Do you feel you don't get to see enough finished art? Also, doing one less illustration each week is not an option, sadly. I need the workload I do currently to get by, financially. Doing an illustration less means I earn less. I'm hoping Patreon will one day be enough to focus ONLY on Patreon funded art, but currently, that's not yet the case. :-) I really appreciate you thinking along here. I hope you can clarify a little bit, so I can make a more solid decision on it. Thanks!! ^_^

Understand the workload and the commission flow. If, in the future, it becomes possible to turn the top 2 poll winners into finished art for the $10 patrons, that might encourage more subscribers to step up to the $10 level. All would benefit if that were to happen.

I actually agree with that. I will do so, only, not yet. I'm still in a stressful situation outside of the kinks, and can't handle the extra work right now. But yes, as soon as I can, I'm going to be doing this. Thank you for that! :-)
