Happy New Years! I hope 2023 has been kind and inviting to everyone right off the get-go, It really snuck up on me personally, but I feel I have become quite seasoned to comparing what I was doing previous New Years to this one-- which was more commissions! Being forced out of my comfort zone to draw different stuff frequently has definitely sped me up, so it makes me eager to take on more art this year!
In just 5 months, it will be the 2-year anniversary here, and that's because of everyone involved supporting me and keeping me afloat with encouragement, so thank you all dearly. I'm gonna use today to give out some updates and plans for the Patreon-
1) Commissions and when they'll reopen
Currently I have about three commissions left from the December batch, I wanted to knock out a solid chunk of them before I resumed polls, you can view the status of any on my Trello-Board. Voting Polls will now resume tomorrow!
Sometimes I get a bit anxious when trying to knock out commission work while updating exclusive content here so please bare with me! It's usually a problem for the first two-weeks of opening so I can get a majority of people WIPs at the very least! I am estimating I'll be able to reopen late-January/early-February
2) Mega-File reset for the year
I wipe all the archived files in the mega-archive links to free-space so I will be doing that midnight, but since a lot of the Patreon Exclusive bonuses are linked to them, those might go down too-- but fret not, just DM me for any of those broken links and those alternate versions can be sent easily!
3) Fourth Tier
I might be able to add the 4th tier during the month of May, it'll be a limited slot for a monthly art request following certain guidelines! There may be two different forms of it for a line art version and a sketch version, so possibly a fifth tier too if that goal remains reached by then
4) 2023 Goals
On a personal note, alongside supplying content here, I would also enjoy being able to designate more time to developing OC stuff in terms of concept art and ocs so make little strides towards a potential project, since aloooot of last year was mostly fanart to help myself grow-- I think all the support and having to try new things have helped speed up and refine my process, so I feel alot more comfortable with that thanks to you all, so I hope I can provide ( I don't want everything I do to just be Bird after all ! ) Maybe even animation if I get into a power trip...
Improving is always my goal no matter what I am doing in life, and I never wanna feel like I have to rush out stuff or cut-corners to deliver a piece, or put our something of quantity over quality
On a closing note, I owe you all the world for allowing me to survive doing art full-time, and I still have alot I want to give back to you all! If there is any request/suggestions/questions you ever want to reach out to me for, feel free to comment here, DM or contact me on Discord for that! Love you all, and Happy New Year!
