Update // Temporary changes (Patreon)

Hey guys,

Due to my health, pregnancy and general life situation I was forced to rethink my stratedy as I barely met my Patreon monthly goals which left me frustrated and struggling. Sadly this pregnancy is causing me a lot of problems, I can't sit for as long as I used to, my belly starts to get in the way between me and my tablet and I have to bend over more which is not a sustainable position for work and there are days where I am absolutely unable to work at all.

The changes will probably not feel like major ones, but I want to be transparent, so everyone knows what I'm able and unable to provide and try my best to focus on realistic goals, rather than trying to chase the ones I were able to complete before pregnancy.

All the changes are listed in the tier rewards and in my Patreon overview now.

As for what they are, I list them, below. These changes are temporary, until I can get back on my feet after my maternity leave and can expand my goals slowly once again.

CHANGES TO REWARDS

- I will try to continue making daily artworks, but I'm giving myself space to cut one or two day off, in case anything unexpected happens - as it has happened for the past weeks (3-5 a week). The aim is 5 a week.

- I resign from the monthly daily artwork refine. This has been a great idea back when the dailies were monocrhomatic and I had more time to work, but it seems to serve little purpose now that my daily artworks are colored and rendered. I have an idea for replacing this reward with a different one, but this will need to wait until after maternity leave.

- After I wrap up chapter 1 of my comic, I will put all tier specific rewards from tier 6$ on hold until further notice - until I get more time to make sure I can put out pages of the new chapter at a decent speed again. I encourage people from this tier to jump a tier lower or higher for that time, unless you still want to support me at this amount <3

- I will focus on commissions for as long as I can, before having to stop work completely. Fast fingers commissions, for 15$ Patrons will remain active and I expect to sell 4-5 a month.

- Regular commission queue is still working normally (so I will complete as many as I can) but I will only accept commissions not larger than 2 characters per order with simple or no backgrounds.

______________

To sum it all up. I will focus on the daily artworks (my characters, fast fingers commissions and Pandora's box rewards) and working through my commission queue.

I will still provide timelapses and PSD files of all the works I created at the end of each month.

Eventually I expect there will be a time a month or so before childbirth where I will need to put everything on pause, or slowly make my workload even smaller until I can no longer work at all. For now, these are my aims that I believe I can realistically meet.

Thanks to everyone who supports my art, you are absolutely fantastic. Especially during this hard time I really do appretiate your support.
