May updates + infos!

Hey everyone and I hope you all had a great start into May! ♥
may your may be blessed and full of great moments.

Before I start with the info and working schedule for this month, I have another important notification for you!

I'll be attending the Fantasy Basel (a convention) on the upcoming weekend and will having a lenghty train ride later today.  During the time of the Con I won't be available at all and most likely not much available during the preparation period. I know the timing is kinda shitty considering that I just came back from my vacation but I didn't really get to pick the date of the con ^^; But the visit to the con is pretty important to me since I get the once in a lifetime opportunity to meet one of my biggest artistic influences and inspirations in person so I really really don't want to miss out on this, I hope you understand!
I will be posting pictures from the con on my discord server though! Also if you're there as well, feel free to say hi! :D

Now for the other updates! Due to my con preparations and the flood of sketches I've been working on in every free minute I had since I came back, I wasn't able to be around much, will be after the con though I promise :> Especially since I have nothing else planned for may, no vacations, no visits from friends and no other conventions so I can focus all my energy on art.

For this month two new comic pages are planned which I already lined last month due to my hand going nuts and powering through them so there's less work to do on these and I'll also most likely clean up the cover for the collab comic! Also the First thing I'll be finishing right after I'm back from the con will be the RD animation, it has my highest priority on my to-do list atm. since I wasn't able to finish it when I wanted to (which was before I left for my vacation) due to my own health.

Oh yeah, for those of you who have been asking on my commission re-opening, I'll reopen them after I fully finished my current RD comic commission project since I doubt that I'll be able to properly work on commissions before I have at least finished one of the two comic projects, especially not with the monthly patreon rewards.

Otherwise for all you chocolate tier people, please send me your sketch suggestions until the 10th of this month! please keep in mind that during the time of the convention I might not be able to respond to your messages. 

just as general note, if I don't say anything against your suggestion you can take it as an "it's alrighty!", I've just been so busy especially in the past two months that I didn't have the time to reply to everyone since there's been pressure on me from several sides to work and I'm really sorry about that. It's no personal offense towards anyone if I don't have the time to reply, I can assure you that! ^^ If I ever end up forgetting to reply to an important message of you, please gently remind me about it, there's a 100% chance I simply forgot about it since I usually get a ton of messages daily on several different plattforms and sometimes get a bit overwhelmed by them ^^; But I do appreciate each and every message I get!

Another thing I wanted to make clear is related to the plus sketches : You do always have the option to tell me that you're like to have plus sketch for that month, but saying so does not mean that I'll be able to give you one. Sometimes I simply don't have the time to work on all plus sketch requests, not even some I really want to work on because my working schedule is simply too full. This is also not a personal offense towards you, it's really just that I don't have the time to work on it, which is why I only take the payment for the plus sketches AFTER I finished them because I don't want to promise  something I might not be able to keep. You will always receive your clean monthly b/w sketch though, even if I might not be able to work on a plus sketch and you can always ask me about the option to colour/shade older sketches later or even trade in your points for that! :)

I know for most people this is pretty obvious but I received some messages from people who were confused by it so I wanted to make it extra clear.

and lastly, I'll be updating the points list right after I send this post and will be adding the bonus points and check everything, so in a few hours you can check your updated balance for sure! My apologies for the delay there, I hardly had any spare time so far and thus also wasn't able to catch the person who helps me updating the list ^^; But we'll be working on it now :)

I'll also send all of you your sketches for April via discord later (again)

As usual, if you got any questions or concerns that aren't listed on my info posts , feel free to message either me or one of the mods on my discord! ^^

that should be it for now, this post got a bit longer than expected ^^;
But I want to thank you all again for your continuous support and wish you the most wonderful May ♥ I do appreciate each and every one of you and am truly grateful that you like my art and make it possible for me to work as artist and share my art with the world. You guys are the true MVPs behind my art!
