Happy new year to you all and hope things are well.
And update as to my current situation. I am planning on changing things up quite a bit this year. I am always grateful for the support you give me here, but the way things are at the moment the amount of work I am putting in is quite obscene and I feel that a monthly deadline has been quite a lot for me for the amount of pics I am to produce. Having been ill a year before has put me back substantially and it's been near impossible so far to keep on top of things. It effects my mental state, as well as the quality of my art, and I don't want to give anyone less than the full extend of my skill.
As such, over the next while I am going to be lowering the number of image slots I have, most likely cutting one out entirely at the start. Prices are also going to adjust, because the way things are at the moment I feel that the amount of work I put in is not equivalent to my earnings. Not that I don't love drawing for people, I just am keen to earn something more than just paycheck to paycheck, while still giving folks something awesome! At the moment I won't be cutting out doing pics entirely, but they are going to reduce over the next while, so I will alert others to their category closing, just so they don't lose out on being pledged!
Going forward, what this means is I will be doing my commission work outside of Patreon. It is far easier to adjust the prices as needs be AND lets me have better communication with the commissioner. It's far too methodical here, and it wears on me to have to treat things more machine-like than an artist.
Rest assured though, I will still be using my platform here to give folks an early look at my upcoming projects and releases ahead of time, so I do hope you'll stick around even if your current category has to change! It's wonderful drawing for you all, but what I have right now is far too much and too easy for things to just go utterly wrong with even a minor issue. It's screwing with my mental state and making it harder and harder to catch up as the list just increases by the day, so, I need to do this for the sake of my mental health and spare time as well! Additional, all the works I owe will 100% be completed and I am currently making a note of all that I owe and will power through to get what I owe completed! My apologies for the delays on some!
In other news, my current comic project is coming along nicely, and I'm going to be sharing some more teasers and WIP pages real soon. Alongside this, I am planning on focusing on specific characters this year, just still in the process of picking who of my cast I want to work on the most! Along with this is an idea I'm developing with the working title 'Mouse Guest', as well as a return to 'Hunter Hunted', which has seen a few changes, but will still be chocked to the brim with delightful cabbit gods!
Much love to you all and have a great day! I will keep everyone updated as to when categories are going to be changing/deleted.

When you started talking about changes last month, I knew an announcement like this was going to happen. I'm glad I got in on the ground floor from day one, but it sounds like I may need to scale things back after this, and switch to a lower tier after the changes are made. Hope things get easier for you in the future.

Hope the new way of setting up comissions works out, and I'm already looking forward to your other projects. Here's to a great year!
