Thank you!
🕑 Added 2025-02-23 03:58:29 +0000 UTCThank you, from the bottom of my heart, for supporting my art activities! 🥺
With everyone's collective support, I am now able to upgrade my drawing tablet!
The current tablet, the 'iPad mini' has been around since I first started learning how to draw. When I got the tablet, I wasn't an artist. I just wanted to curb my ADHD symptoms while I was being held hostage by my family members outside (lol). However, I was very motivated to continue studying art for the last 2-3 years because of everyone's support and interest in my work!
Unfortunately, as I continue to improve, the iPad mini could no longer keep up with my quality of work. I was previously locked to only 50 layers, but my illustration/comics nowadays peak at around 100-150 layers, depending on the complexity. The new 'Bullet Men' series totals out to 200+ layers! Not including the two upcoming YCHs.
To combat this, I've been working around it by separating all the different panels into multiple canvases (usually up to 5), and stitch them together one by one, which is why you often see rigid borders, uneven panels, etc, which I hope you don't notice, haha! Whenever I do that, my drawing software has the tendency to crash. Actually, it corrupted the file for my 'Valentine's Chastity' illustration, and I'm still very devastated ;w;
It's about time I get a new tablet, and with the collective support from all of you, I've now upgraded my tablet to the iPad Pro! Now with QUADRUPLE more layers to work with! I'm really excited to start working with it, but it won't arrive until 2-3 more weeks.
I just wanted to share the good news, and I hope this will keep you guys excited for my upcoming work as well. I'm hoping that this upgrade will help with efficiency and comfort in the long-run, and hopefully futureproof enough for me to provide better latex rendering as I continue to study art fundamentals and anatomy.
Thank you again! 🦖✨
P.S. If there's any old illustrations (2022-2023) that you guys particularly liked, I'm thinking of doing a remastered piece, do tell me in the comments! Maybe it's time for me to turn this into an actual comic with a drone sequence?! I'm open for suggestions. (Including want you want Felix to turn into!)

Hahaha, I'm still limited by my weak immune system. The almighty knows that if I have no limit, it would be too much for the human race! >:3c

Congratulations on your artist tool upgrade! Considering all the amazing art you’ve produced over the years, I am happy to hear that you were able to upgrade to the system that will facilitate your creations, which are all rather amazing. I remember feeling surprised and relieved when I first started Patreon and was able to save up for better Dictation software to write longer stories more efficiently. I love the art that you produce, and I am happy to support as I am able.

Oh, and in relation with the 'Valentine's Chastity' work. I've decided to save it for another time... I was really heartbroken because I was already about to start coloring it. 10+ hours of work down the drain, huhu. Thankfully the 'Cupid Arrow' comic was finished safely! ><
