Future Changes to Requests, Next Project, FE3H Art Book (taking ideas), and My Thanks! (Patreon)

I'm totally not late with this!  This is still a journal for June, okay!  I had this written up before, but I didn't get to edit it before the end of June!

Anyway, I hope everyone is doing well.  Summer is here, but please do be safe and cautious if you go outside.

Future Changes to Requests

I don't think I mentioned this in my previous journal, but in the future I will have to remove the requests reward for some of the tiers.  The SR and SSR tiers will still have requests, but the tiers are limited to 10 people total for SR, and 4 people total for SSR.  I may have to do this because my list is getting longer, and at one point it'll be too much for me to handle.  When I do plan on doing this, I'll be warning everyone a month beforehand (via the journal, Discord, and reward PMs).

How I plan on making up for this once I make this change is:

• When the lifetime rewards system is set up, there will (sometimes) be request rewards patrons can redeem.  This would work a bit better than how I have it now because I would have a longer time period to work on the requests versus every month.  Plus people who aren't under the reward tiers can "save up" points and redeem personal sketches as well. :)
• I'll do scheduled Patreon-only streams on Discord.  Patrons can put in their suggestions and either I'll pick and choose what I want to draw, or I'll run a short poll in Discord to see which one people want to see me draw the most.  I'm still doing some research on streaming platforms, since I know some people don't or can't use Discord.

In the meantime, I will continue the requests system as normal.  Again, when I do plan on the change, I will announce it a month beforehand.

Next Project

You may have noticed... I finished my Webtoons!  Yay!  I really rushed it, but hey, uh... I finished it!

I have a couple of other project ideas, but what I want to fully work on next is the SPACE GIRLS VISUAL NOVEL.  The one that I occasionally talk about.  I'll have to set up a timeline for myself, but once I get some deadlines settled, I'll write about them in next month's journal as well.

FE3H Art Book (taking any ideas!)

Alongside that other project, I want to make another art book this year (or early next year).  I've been thinking about the theme for a while, and what I've decided on was a collection of FE3H major scene illustrations.  I'll be working on thumbnails for different scenes, but I want a minimum of 16 illustrations.  No merchandise (because... that's... difficult and expensive HAHA), but I'll probably make a small sticker sheet as a free extra item.

If you have any scenes you'd love to see drawn, please let me know in the comments!  Ideally they should be story-related, but I may consider support scenes if I get a lot of major illustrations done.  Battles (and battle-specific dialogue) are fine as well!

My Thanks

I always think about this, but I try not to say it too often because I feel like it'll lose its meaning if I constantly say it.

Really, thank you for supporting me.  Regardless of if you can't or don't want to support me on Patreon in the future, I still appreciate every single one of you.  Without you all, I wouldn't be able to do what I can do now.  Patreon helps me make more personalized art, and also allows me more freedom to experiment and improve on my art skills.

Like... every time I get a new supporter, it always makes me super happy.  I can't express it well in words, but whenever I get that message, I jump around excitedly and tell my boyfriend about it, haha.  It really makes my day to know that someone liked my art enough to want to support me here (and maybe so that they can get those SWEET REWARDS), it's just... very awesome to think about.  Especially when I think about how a couple years ago I didn't even think I could be a full-time artist.

Again, I'm not good with my words, but thank you for supporting and believing in me.

I hope you all stay safe and have a great weekend. :)
