Livestream Date, Important New Rules and Updates!

Hi everyone! 

I hope you're all doing well and fighting the good fight out there. Hopefully by now most of you have gotten your postcards. Hope you enjoy them!

Livestream is coming up this Wednesday the 24th at 6pm PST - and it's a request stream! (yay!)  I've been doing some replanning of my Patreon because of my body pain and needing to revamp what I can and cannot do during this time. Thanks for being patient as this Patreon is a continued process of trying to figure out what I can provide for you guys supporting me while also taking care of myself and trying not to overdo it, which I tend to do as a people pleaser and it always bites me in the butt. 

For instance, I have removed the $50 commission tier as I was having trouble drawing commissions every month. Sometimes it's hard for me to even draw for myself and having such a cheap custom art tier was draining me mentally and physically, and I couldn't keep up the quality I wanted to give.  Unfortunately it means I've taken a huge hit to Patreon, but it's something I had to do.

Also the previous goal of making a tutorial has to be put on hold - trying to think of a tutorial and executing it each month has been too much to handle right now, so I'm going to do my best to provide tutorials OR speedpaints on a monthly basis, but it is no longer guaranteed. I will make sure I have some sort of behind the scenes artwork, full size artwork or information for you each month, though! 

As for the livestream coming up, I've decided on implementing some new, albeit fair rules for the requests.  This is to help me keep all my requests in order and in the same place. 

LIVESTREAM REQUEST RULES:

• You can only request something if you're a $10+ patron.
• $10 patrons can only suggest fan art. 
• $25 patrons are allowed to suggest OC's as well as fan art.
• Request information must be sent in advance to my email - enerjak@gmail.com - with the email subject "Livestream Request" and must have photo reference.  I am no longer accepting Twitter or Messenger DMs. Sending character information during the stream is no longer accepted as I can't guarantee I'll see your request in the chat.

I am also currently working on July's postcard which is going to be a Pride celebration with the main Arcade Spirits cast. I'll be sure to send a photo of the sketch momentarily! 

Thank you for understanding and continuing to be a patron. Y'all are amazing.

Keep fighting and living your best life,

Molly/Jak <3
