Hello and welcome to the newest Patrons here, and again thank you all for showing your support! I am now going to be working towards creating art and maybe even animation for commissions and income as an Independent Freelance Artist, and seeing that support now over $660 per month is a great start!

I will be every month doing a call for Submissions using Emerald Scales, and will be prioritizing their completion as best as I can for that month. Otherwise, I'll be posting here and keeping things as informed as I can. Please feel free to talk to me over Messages here or through Discord or Telegram!

For January 2023, though, my computer is now showing its age and a 10-12 year old motherboard/processor/memory is now deciding to not work whenever I try to do any intense task such as Clip Studio or World of Warcraft. Luckily, I've been able to transfer almost all of my work to my laptop now, and even can use my XP-Pen 24" to work on projects, and I just finished setting it up to run OBS with the same overlays that I made on my previous PC, so expect streams to resume shortly!

A generous friend has offered to ship me their 'old' PC (2020) for free as they have recently upgraded to a more current model. This is a decidedly strong improvement from a 1070 to a 3080 graphics card, more modern i8 processor from an i5, and decidedly functional RAM to work with! I should only be on my makeshift Laptop setup for a week or so before I can get things set up with a much newer base computer to work with, so stay tuned!

As for the Emerald Scales, there's now 19 Patrons at that support level and 27 Tokens being issued every month. There are currently 34 total remaining, and I estimate I can do about 6 or 8 projects or so each month consistently, though we shall see what I can work with as time goes on.

As always, feel free to ask me any questions or bring up any concerns, and let's see if we can reach our goals for 2023!
