I'M COMIN BACK >:) [update]

Hello again!!

At the end of May, I decided I wanted to downsize my Patreon as I felt overwhelmed with the amount of work I had to do and I wanted to refocus my efforts into working on commissions. It's nearing the end of the year now, and after thinking through things and realizing where those hang-ups were occurring, I think I'm in a position where I want to come back to posting exclusive art on Patreon, as I believe I have a solution that might work!!

Here's how things are gonna go:

• Exclusive art will now be posted on Patreon under the current Shou Tier - Instead of recreating the more expensive Veronica tier for exclusive artwork, everything I post, be it sketches or full exclusive pieces, will be included in the Shou Tier! This means that you're paying less for more stuff!!!

• No more monthly polls - As much as I liked them, one of the biggest roadblocks with my Patreon work was the balance between monthly polls and commission work, leading to one or the other being pushed to the last minute. Instead of guaranteed monthly polls, I will just do them when I feel like I need one doing, so that I'm not pressured to put out a rushed piece because it's the last few days of the month :)

• Exclusive art will be a lot more OC focused - I enjoyed creating character designs based off of the monthly poll results, but I felt like I was abandoning a lot of my OCs and only drawing them once every few months, so with the amount of polls being reduced, I'm gonna be drawing my main OCs (That I already know you adore) a lot more! I already have some good Yuliana WIPs sketched out >:3

• Posting will be a lot more flexible - I don't want to guarantee monthly full pieces this time around, but I will still try and get a good amount of full pieces done. I think that removing that monthly deadline for pieces will make me a lot more comfortable with posting more smaller OC pieces more frequently, and less likely to rush bigger pieces out if I start near the end of the month, so hopefully this means more art of a higher quality!!

• No more Discord integration (Sorry!) - I closed my discord around the same time as I stopped posting to Patreon as I found I wasn't cut out to own and moderate a server with people I didn't fully know. It's a shame to not bring the Discord server back but I don't think anything good would come of restarting it so for the time being I just want this to be Patreon and Patreon only.

Overall this should help me feel a lot less stressed with doing personal work, and the personal work I will do will be of much better quality as I won't have the urge to rush it out, which on paper is a win-win :D

Thank you SO SO SO much to everybody that has continued their support since May, I can't thank you enough for staying with me in this half-year, you've all been so helpful to me in keeping me on my feet. (Re)Starting off, I plan to release an exclusive piece with Koinu and Shou very soon (As in Tomorrow), so please be on the lookout for that too!!
