Fortnightly Update 15: Ssstressed Out
🕑 Added 2021-06-26 11:46:22 +0000 UTCHey everyone, welcome to an extra hausted update! This time i've got a snakey update and and a historic werewolf, hidden beneath a couple paragraphs of blurb.
Firstly, I want to explain the title - I think i'm hitting some burnout right now, what with house stuff and drawing and work all piling up. Not necessarily bad, since house and work are progressing fine and the Cheetah sequence commission I put out has done really well (currently my most favourited thing ever on FA). Though picking up that and the fluffy ram commission definitely left me at a disadvantage on the poll art. Really feeling pressure to get the Alts done this month and thus deliver value to you all.
As mentioned in the update five days ago, i've got plans to improve the poll's position in the month, so this won't happen again :) Moving it to the first day of the month (and maybe shortening it to six days) will give me loads more time, and i'll prioritise it above comms too.
Currently got three ideas for the next (Summer Themed) poll, and would love to hear suggestions :)
- Hayfever, woman sneezing into a horse
- Hippo Pool, a homage to gillpanda's old WG/TF comic
- Fem Bowser but Mario Sunshine style ( giant, in a hot tub? )
Speaking of the poll artwork, here's where i'm at with our snake! She's fully lined, with the background nice and shaded. I'm proud of the hookah... dispenser? and how shiny it is :)
Since i've been boxing stuff up to prepare for the house move next month, i've also had chance to flick through my old folders of art. While they're mostly just comics that I did for classmates and nintendo fanart, i did find this werewolf that i drew at age 15. You can just about make out the "construction lines" i did for his face, but i'm glad to say that i've come a fair way since then :)
And lastly, let's talk house update! A week ago I attended a "Meet the Builder" session, and got another house tour. They'd finished the roof (i've got six solar panels, feels good man) and installed most of the pipes and wires. My view is looking a lot better insulated now that the window frame is in place:
So yeah, that's all for another update. Thanks as always for the support, and I'll hopefully be back in a couple of days with the alt artwork, and then in a couple more days with next month's summer themed poll!

<3 thanks for the support - i recognise that every patron i've spoken to is lovely and understanding, and maybe this pressure is all self inflicted. Big fan of the fluffy were-samoyed idea! Fluffy, chubby and way too hot for the heatwave - it's going on the poll :)

I'm here on Patreon to support you, not to break your back! If you ever have to take it easier to avoid burnout then I'm with you all the way. I like the poll changes, both in terms of moving it earlier in the month and shortening the window for voting. If it also makes things easier for you then that's a win for sure! As for poll suggestions... I really like the idea of a summery wolf suggestion actually. Maybe a werewolf with an unusual breed? Like a fluffy were-samoyed who's sick of the summer heat. :P
