Thank you for August!

I dunno Enji, I think hawks’ eye muscles are definitely getting a work out 🤣

And with that Summer has come to an end for the northern hemisphere! Although I’ve heard that Mother Nature didn’t get the memo and it’s still hot, and now where I live has started to get warm too and we are all panicking over fires being a possibility this year 😅

As always thank you all for your wonderful comments, likes and voting for this month! I know there was a lot of polls cause of the merch and I can’t promise I won’t be doing more cause we got one more merch item to decide the design for and I want to kind of sit and get a feel on how everyone is feeling about the art, designs, merch and more that I do here on Patreon, I’m here and able to do all of this because of all your wonderful collective efforts of support so thank you all!

My computer parts are coming next week so I should have my PC up and running again soon! I’ll also be much more active art-wise in the second half of September going forward so if you want to read why I’ll be giving a little life update below as I like to keep you guys informed on things that can affect this Patreon (both good and bad). So continue reading if you wish to!

So, August was…boy it was a month of just a lot, they have a saying of when it rains it pours and boy howdy it did for myself. For those who have been following me for awhile may have known that last year I had to have a brain MRI done as my doctor was concerned I may have a brain tumour because of having persistent headaches for 2+ weeks plus elevated levels of the hormone ‘Prolactin’, I was put on medication and we both thought that was that. Well unfortunately my headaches returned and I’ve been experiencing them persistently for over a month along with new symptoms such as tremors, some days so bad I am bed ridden and can’t go to work. On Monday I have an appointment with a Neurologist Specialist and if you’ve ever been to one, they are expensive. I also have another MRI brain scan scheduled for next Wednesday, my only hope is that we can find out what is wrong.

As a result of my very bad health condition I approached my work to request less days of work, unfortunately that request in the end was denied as they need a “full-time” designer in-house, this put me in a very difficult position because the environment I work in does not help with my constant migraines/headaches. It became apparent that both sides deserved better, and we mutually agreed on me resigning from my job. As part of my contract I have to give them 1 month, so I will continue to work until mid-September and then I part ways with my work. I’m still holding out hope that I can do some basic casual work (2 days a week) at some other place, but until I know what’s going on with my health for now I’m just going to concentrate on Patreon, Etsy, my art on and my health on the days I’m not stuck in bed due to being ill.

I’m also making plans to move/relocate, as the current place I’ve lived at has had black mold growing for years, despite our best efforts to constantly clean it which has also been linked to causing bad health issues for people, and our rent got increased to an amount that I just can’t pay. So the plan is to move more rural where the rent is more or less a little more affordable and maybe it’ll all benefit my and my family’s health in the long run.

So yeah, September is going to be a big month, a lot going on in my life, but I want to try and get the Patreon freebie merch finalized and done so that I can get that into production and then start sending out emails and then the packages! I’m super excited, I want to do a bunch of new merch for my Etsy as well so I’m excited to see how it all goes despite everything going on!

Thank you everyone again! And also the artwork above there is a nsfw version going to be posted which includes where it was referenced from :9

Onwards to September! Yay spooky month is getting closer!
