A little status update.
🕑 Added 2021-02-04 13:56:10 +0000 UTCOkay, today's news are not all roses and good news sadly. 2020 being bad year caught up to me with a delay and hit me on 2021. IDW work has dried up temporarily as MLP series and IP is heading to a little new direction. So on one hand, I have more time for my own comics, but on the other hand, I have no incomes so I have to find other jobs.
For now commissions have been keeping me afloat, so the comics have had to take a side-line for a little while, sorry about that. I am also scouting for other paying job locally and from IDW, something that would allow me to pay the bills, if I get a local job, it might mean even less time for comics, so I hope my patreon picks up so I can just live off that and do comics and occasional commissions rather than have to scour for work in panicked state as my savings are draining dry.
I will try to work in APA, bowsette, more Marble's own comic series and whatnot over time naturally, I only hope you all understand why I must labor over commissions as nobody can survive in my country for 1000 US dollars a month, my rent is 90% of that and I live in a concrete version of a chicken coop. And this while I am trying to save for a move to Canada, it could not have happened at a worse time. and to drive the dagger deeper into my heart, my father ended hospitalized after having ignored his blood sugar medication for his diabetes, and ignoring eating, and going on a heavy alcohol binge. He has now braindamage, is unable to talk or walk, and I have to cover also his running bills until he is able to take the reins again, if he ever will, if he can't, city will assign a caretaker for him, but in the meantime, that's additional load on me.
So, yeah, I hope you all can still continue to offer your support, it is now more important than ever and I promise I will keep updating my comics and art and posting content as much as I can. As long as I can. After all, all I ever wanted to do was to draw comics, make people happy, offer them escape from the grim reality, that is now kicking my ass for helping people to cope with it.
Thank you all for your support and understanding. I will post another cluster of commission works I have done soon and list my updated commission pricing if any of you want to pitch in and receive some of that custom art, and help me along!

Yeah, Discord is the best, as it keeps the details easily findable spot!

Hey Pencil I'm willing to commission you since I have some dosh laying around, I might as well help you. Should I directly into the discord?

Like Keroko said, if anything you say you look forward to more work from IDW, but could use help to tie you over! A little patreon advertisement is good!

Eh, nothing in your post throws shade on IDW. Most people will understand a lot of things MLP related are currently on hold, what with G5 on the horizon.
Horatio Pitt
That is a lot bearing down on you at the moment. Please stay strong and don't lose hope.

I worry it would throw unintentional shade on IDW, when the choice wasn't theirs but Hasbro's.

You should really post about this on your social media, I am sure more people will help even if they chip in just a buck

Absolutely, I am not canned, just on a temporary hiatus. Sadly it is very poorly timed hiatus that is threatening to put me on the street homeless due to aforementioned circumstances.

I'm so sorry to hear that. Is there a chance idw will bring you back on for pony stuff or maybe sonic in the future?

At the moment all I can do is pray for you, I’ll have to see if I can get a commission when available. Tell then the best of luck to you.

Aww! My most sincere thanks! Every little bit helps!

That’s terrible. I’ve got some spare Patreon budget and have increased my pledge a bit. Hopefully it’ll pick up to where you’re not as worried in term of money.
