❗Important Announcement! June Pause - Stay pledged and get June for free

Hi hi my dears!🥀

After some thought and a lot of stress, I've decided to pause billing for June! Please be sure to read the points below so that you know what that means for you and your goodies!

What does this mean for you and your rewards?

For Print, Sticker, Spicy, and Collectors

For Annual Patrons

What's going on? Why the Pause?

It super pains me to put a pause here on patreon because TBH, you guys are my rock. You are what keep me going through this whole crazy art journey and making art and tutorials for patreon is what I enjoy the most.

Unfortunately, I was overly optimistic about everything that I could accomplish. I took on a few too many projects, deadlines are creeping up and I'm a bit burnt out.

On top of a few too many normal-sized client projects that I committed myself to, I have a couple of larger projects with a publisher that have ballooned to be even bigger than I anticipated. (these projects are making me heavily consider adjusting my pricing and my contracts for the future! lol)

 Then of course there is the 2nd How to Draw RPG Characters book that I'm in the last stretches of working on before entering editing hell.

Anyway, I can only blame myself for thinking I can do it all, and it has been a big lesson in how much I'm capable of taking on! For the future, I'm going to be much more careful about what projects I take on and how many.

All of the tutorials and goodies here also take lots of time to create, and even though I enjoy patreon content the most, I need to hunker down and get these other projects checked off of my list or at least get ahead on progress in June. Wish me luck with that!

My plan once most of these are off my plate is to come back to patreon art and rewards stronger than ever and hopefully with more time to really give this place even more love and attention! I'm really excited to dedicate myself to things like the Tarot series and more Mythology couples.

If you made it through my long winded explanation, thank you! You are a rock star.

And thank you guys so much for being here, supporting what I do, and sticking with me! I always say it at the end of tutorials because it is true: Your support is what makes the art, tutorials, and videos here possible! So thank you!  💗💗💗

📨If you have any questions about the pause or anything else, please feel free to DM me here on patreon!  You can also comment your questions here if you'd like.

I'll still be checking messages and emails and everything! 📨

Lots of love!

Chrissa XOXOXO

As someone who notoriously over-commits myself, I TOTALLY get it and I’m so glad you’re taking a step back for a bit. Knock out what you need to and take all the time you need to do it. We will all be here when you get back! You’ve got this. 💪🏻

Jessica

You take care of you! You always go above and beyond for us, but you deserve to do it for yourself too! We will be here when you're ready.

alex baty

I found you just a few days ago and am amazed by the creativity and dedication you put towards your work. It inspires me to draw more :) Please take care of yourself! We will be here when you return 🥰

Bleep Bloop

Good for you recognizing that you need to make some temporary changes in order to fulfill your commitments. Your dedication to your Patreon community is obvious and really appreciated by us. We have lots of past content to keep us busy so don’t worry about us! Remember to take time for your non-art self too and breathe! 🩷

Jessie Stardust

I'm so glad you're putting yourself first! I can't speak for everyone but I can say you are my rock too, every time I start feeling like I'm a bad artist you're the first person I think of telling me to keep trying. I hope you get to relax a little next month!

Tiff

Have a nice month!, but please! Come back! Don't leave us! ❤️

Israel Leonardo

I'm new here and glad for the chance to catch up. There's so much here to read and watch! Don't feel bad for being Booked and Busy. That's just life sometimes 💜

Melody

Definitely take the time to focus on some stuff! I’ll be here when you get back so no worries there. Try not to stress about us here, you do what you gotta do and make sure to get the rest you need!

Ashley Steele

Lots of love Chrissa ❤️❤️❤️ I was always super impressed with the amount of work you put into this Patreon. I hope this break will do you good and I’m glad you were able to take this decision 🩷

Fumblemoon

We love and support you!! So excited about all those awesome opportunities! Kickass!

Rachel Shirley

You are completely correct about that! Some of these projects seemed so simple on the surface but have not turned out that way! hah! Anyhoo! Thank you!

ChrissaBug

Thank you so much Sandy!

ChrissaBug

Commitments are about estimates, estimates never have full information, thus can fail at times… don’t be too hard on yourself for universal truths. Get that done and take care of yourself while you do. It’s a good time for catching up some more, especially for newer patrons like myself. That’s a good way to put it!

Sordrak

Thank you so much!
