Status update and Plans for June & July! (Patreon)

Hello! Thank you very much for another month of your support, our patreon family is growing despite the trolls from the past 2-3 months and I'm happy about that. I remember I said that I wanted to be as transparent as possible about how I handle your pledges, so here is the list of spendings in the last couple of months:

Recurring payments:
-5.00 USD/month: Pixiv Premium.
-9.00 USD/month: Google Drive 1TB storage.
-49.99 USD: High speed Internet service (first month)
-6.00 USD: Support for other Artists I like.

One time payments:
-45.99 USD: Western Digital Caviar Blue 1TB for physical backups
-42.00 USD: Linksys AC1200 Dual-Band wireless adapter (fried by static discharge after merely 1 week of use, warranty didn't cover that issue)
-45.48 USD: Asus PCE-AC55BT Dual-Band wireless adapter
-78.00 USD: Asus Prime B350M-A
-43.49 USD: Windows10 PRO OEM key
-09.00 USD: Pentel Graphgear 500 0.5
-09.00 USD: Pentel Graphgear 500 0.7
-66.24 USD: Corsair Scimitar PRO Mouse

Livestream related expenses:
-30.00 USD: Hyperdimension Neptunia Collection Bundle
-07.00 USD: Hollow Knight

Personal purchases:
- 3,980 JPY + 2000 JPY Shipping: S-style Himejima Akeno figure
- 30.00 USD: Nier Automata
- 10.00 USD: Planetary Annihilation
- 03.69 USD: Ernie Ball Regular Slinky guitar strings
-280 USD: Ophtalmologic consultation + Anti Scratch Anti glare prescription lenses.

Other expenses such as the rent and moving costs were absorbed by individual donations and my part time job so I didn't list them here.
 

Also, in preparation for the future livestreams, I'm planning to spend some more money in the following items:
-289.95 USD: AMD Ryzen7 2700 processor (for x264 encoding)
-177.39 USD: ASUS Prime PRO X470 Motherboard  (Good balance between VRM quality, performance and upgrade capability).

Finally, this is more like a wishlist but these are things I'm saving up for to make my work easier and why:

-1499.95 USD: Wacom CINTIQ Pro 16: I used to have a cheap display tablet and drawing with one is much more natural than drawing on a pad tablet, I would be able to boost my productivity by a lot!
-Variable price: An Ultra wide IPS display: Displays are all different, some pictures appear more bright in some display monitors and some monitors are better at picture quality than others. I want an IPS display because these are the ones with the best color accuracy, and this is a must for an artist. But I also want the monitor to be an ultra wide since I'm going to start livestreaming and I'll need more screen real estate to keep the game running while being able to monitor the YT livestream manager and streamlabs OBS.

As of the news:

We finally reached 10 patrons, after 11 months! I originally organized a raffle that was going to take place after we reached 10 patrons but after thinking about it I don't feel myself capable of playing with randomness, so I came up with a much better idea! I will let you know about my plans in the near future but it still involves giving you a free picture.

The author of Shirousagi, Torototoro hasn't responded to me in over 2 months but I'm pretty sure he's still working on the comic, I'll try to keep you updated as soon as I receive any info on it.

Dr Evercross is almost ready! In less than 2 weeks all chapters will be finished and ready for release!

I'm renaming Zesuto-kun, to avoid any misunderstandings from people that can't tell between Zesuto3 the artist and zesuto-kun the mascot/OC I am renaming him to Shizuka Tsubaki, which is a pretty sex ambiguous and erotic name worthy of an otoko no ko.

Alucarda is getting a One-shot manga and new friends! Alucarda Yume, the OC of our top patron is getting a new manga as well as a new OC character inspired by 2B From Nier:Automata and Shutendōji from Fate:GO! yay!

I'll start using the poll function, I'll do one poll on patreon, as a patreon exclusive and one public poll on twitter per month for future pictures!

Well, that's it for now, I guess... If I forgot something I'll edit it on top of this post. Again, Thank you very much for your support, all of what I've done was possible thanks to your support and I hope you're happy with it, If there is any feedback I'll really appreciate it! Wish you another great month!
