General Patreon + Hello Eastwood Information Update (Patreon)

Hey folks! I hope you're all enjoying the summer (if it's summer where you live!)

I wanted to take a little time today to give a general update on how things are going both for this patreon in general and with Hello Eastwood, + a long talked about, but not yet implemented kind of reward which pertains to both topics.

I know these posts tend to get ignored more frequently than the art posts, so I'm starting with the most interesting/useful information first:

-------------------------

New Reward: Starting next month (August 2019), any $3+ patrons who have been supporting for two or more months will get 1 additional colored illustration each month, for every month in which there is no Hello Eastwood content update.

This illustration will always be a fully colored, hardcore image, featuring two or more characters, since I know you guys enjoy that kind of thing and would like to see me draw that more often.

I first said I would be doing this starting in January, but since January, I've been behind on rewards in general, and have not had time for any additional work. However, over the past couple of months, I've settled into a completely new workflow/process which has made me significantly more productive than ever before, and I feel it will be easy to add in this reward each month.

Every month there will always be an additional reward for all long-term supporting patrons, to give my thanks for the stability you've provided for me. Patreon keeps track of consecutive months of support, and if you've joined this month, if you continue supporting next month, you'll get the bonus illustration too!

As I mentioned in the bolded text, in months where the long-term supporter reward is an update to Hello Eastwood, there will be no additional illustration. And last, to clarify, while the bonus illustration will go to $3+ supporters, Hello Eastwood content updates are sent out by length of support time, and are not restricted by support tier.

--------------------------

Hello Eastwood: Development for Hello Eastwood is temporarily on hold until I am caught up on the rewards I was unable to complete due to being sick.

I plan to use August to catch up on a significant portion of backed up work, and will return to working on Hello Eastwood in tandem with the normal patreon rewards starting in September.

My reason for pausing development is simply because it is stressful for me to know that I'm behind on rewards, and it is significantly better for my mental health to sort that out before returning to working on Eastwood. I hope you understand! I do my best work when I'm feeling good, and I feel like it's necessary to prioritize my workload to accommodate that at the present.

--------------------------

Last: Just a general update on my patreon reward backlog:

This month, I prioritized catching up on missed black and white illustrations by doing 6 of them rather than the typical 2 in August I'll be prioritizing missed randomizer pinups, and in September I'll be prioritizing my missed personal choice colored illustrations.

The plan is to be back on track with everything by the end of September, and have the next content update to Hello Eastwood out in October. Again, apologies for the delay on that, but being sick really dealt me a significant setback.

That's all for now, thank you as always for your support! <3
