December 2023 - Monthly Update: (Patreon)

Dear Patreons! Hope you're doing well! Gonna start showing you my workflow in this format for future months, this will help you know when you can expect your Patreon activities to be held, as well as other planned-posts

1. I'll be going on vacation from December 23rd until January 2nd. I might work a couple of days during my holiday, but don't expect anything during those days apart from the Christmas and my Birthday's posts.

2. Pokebutts requests will now be open between the 1st and 15th of each month; you can hit me up on DM's here or on Discord about which character you'd like me to draw next. No voting, just me picking from every option given. I already have decided for something in December, so expect that piece to come out in late December or early January.

3. Patreon Rewards will most probably be late this month, since I'll be taking a long-awaited break as previously mentioned. Don't worry, you'll still receive them as soon as possible. I've hit up those with Deluxe Tier Rewards on DM's, so please make sure to check them as soon as possible.

I'm excited for 2024, I want to get even more serious with art. As far as planned activities go, you can expect the following:

1. Persona 5 Valentine's Day Piece: Still debating whether or not to do this a YCH. I wanted to do this piece earlier this year, but got complicated by Macro March 2023 and deadlines. Speaking of Macro March...

2. Macro March 2024: I will try to host it again this year! A piece a day, for people in the community! Got a couple people asking me already who I'll be drawing for this year. Honestly, I've already got half of the list decided, and debating on whether or not I'll do repeats this year (which will not be the case, most probably). I will be opening a donation-fund for Macro March 2024, as I'll probably have to lower my workload during that month specifically. Might add donators to the list, who knows. All of this is still speculation, so keep an eye out for more updates in the future.

3. I want to start a comic. No more updates on this so far, but expect a story-based size comic to be in the works by now.

As for other updates:

1. Commission TOS's will be changed soon. Will unfortunately have to include posting terms of service in the future. This will help in engagement not being eaten between posts, as well as to keep Patreon content exclusive for a little longer.

2. Patreon's will have a longer-earlier access to pieces. This will include the following changes:

     a. As for personal pieces (meaning stuff I draw for the sake of drawing), you will now have at least 3 pieces in advance. This will not include comics, as I want that to be it's own, separate thing. Expect more personal pieces from me in the future.

     b. As for commissions, there are no meaningful changes; you will still get to see the piece as soon as it comes out, but it will be posted in social media on its usual schedule (closest day possible, at 18:00 p.m. GMT-6). 

     c. As for Patreon content, you will get Pokebutts within 7 days in advance, and Patreon Votes within 15 days in advance. Expect more Pokebutts content in the future.
