September Status Update
🕑 Added 2020-09-11 06:13:28 +0000 UTCHi folks, I think now is a good time to offer a further update since my June post.
In June, I had posted my Patreon plans for July onward, where I talked about scaling back my patron-rewards due to changes at my work. I had said that,
"For the foreseeable future (July & onward), the poll-winners will be made into single full-illustrations, and the monthly exclusive comic will be limited to 1-2 pages."
However, some of you might have noticed that I still found myself actually making 2-part sequences for the polls, and 3-4 part sequences for the exclusives. I suppose I found it difficult to accept that I didn't have the time to post as much anymore, so I struggled to ease off of art I was still making for my patrons who had still stuck around with their support.
I have also been working for the last couple months without more than a single day off in a row. My work there has been well-received, but I can't continue working at that capacity.
With my brief break from work, I'm currently looking into other options for my day job, but as the anxious person I am, and the COVID situation making personal interactions a bit more strenuous, that in itself has been taking a toll.
For the last several days I've found myself with my motivation for anything run completely dry. I will figure out this month's rewards (a seal TF won the poll from August), but they might come out towards the tail-end of the month, after I recover from this slump.
Reiterating what I said in June, I appreciate your ongoing support for my work during this weird and uncertain period of my life, but I completely understand if my possible decline in output leads you to drop your pledge for the time being. I hope to be back on my feet soon.

I pledged in the first place not 100% because of the art, but also to support an artist that I greatly enjoy the work of. I want to be someone that sticks by the people I support in all times, good, bad, or confusing. I'm definitely not alone in this I'm sure, and I don't mind if you find yourself struggling to find motivation or the necessary spark because I'm continuing my pledge to help you out regardless of the situation you end up in.
