🔹October update🔹

Hello everyone! Here’s a much needed update on my general status and things to come. I made a short list of what you need to know. The rest is complimentary, you’ll be good if you read just the list and the final part.

Updates:

1. I quitted my job, it became impossible to keep the rhythm with other aspects of my life.
2. Starting November, I will change the tiers to something more simple: a single tier of $5. I’ll write the terms and create the tier tomorrow so you can move there during the week.
3. Bonus. Some life stuff if you like to read about those things.

Extended:

1. I’ve been working as a freelance storyboard/animatic artist for the last year and it was very time and energy consuming. Still, since I was in a difficult situation, initially I didn’t dare to be without a “steady” job so I made the effort to keep it. However, some important changes were made in the last couple months and the job became simply unbearable, I was even neglecting school projects. I quitted a couple days ago, after finishing an episode.
2. It’s been a while since I started being inconsistent and it should be better reflected in the tiers descriptions, which have been outdated for a while. I am at a point in which I cannot handle much pressure outside school and occasional collaborative projects. Patreon has become something that adds a lot of pressure and that demands a level of commitment I don’t think I can really offer during the next months. Hence, I’ll reduce the tiers to a unique tier of $5 in which you’ll get access to the archive and pretty much anything I manage to do during that time. Another important aspect is that I’ll only keep this Patreon page until the end of February. Since TF is the main topic in what I upload here, I will keep it that way, but after February, I’ll go on a break and then rethink and rebuild my page and any gallery I have.
3. It’s not unusual that something happens that keeps me from being active around here, but even through those times I keep a certain level of communication or try to. I admit that during the last month I became severely evasive. The changes in my storyboarding job were one important reason, yes, but significant health problems with a close family member, a friend that recently moved in with me (something I’m very happy about, but I’ve spent a lot of energy helping her settling in and doing paperwork), pain in my wrists and the beginning of a new school year gave me a level of stress and worry I haven’t experienced in a long while, if ever. All these added to the fact that I’m studying/living in Spain while my whole family and most of my support system friends are in Perú. My reaction to it was to be very evasive to anything that wasn’t urgent in order to keep me from freezing and not tending to said urgent matter (plus some insomnia). I moved from emergency to emergency, leaving loose ends everywhere. During the last week things have been calming down but now I have to take care and mend all the unfinished things, so getting back to replying has been taking some days. I apologize for the lack of communication, especially to those who I owe drawings and anyone who reached me personally and still got no answer. I’ll do my best to handle these situations differently.

Some statements:

I’m sorry for taking so long in writing an update/reply. I had very little time to sit, think and write, and organizing my thoughts and ideas is something I take very seriously and put a lot of effort into. I also tend to write more than needed, so I re-read a lot in order to trim or to explain some stuff in a clearer or more concise way (and I still end up with pretty long writings, yes). What I mean is, when something big has happened and I think it deserves an explanation, I take some time in giving it and that’s why.

I’ll spend most of November back in my home country, which means that I’ll be visiting and spending time with my family and friends I haven’t seen in more than a year. Yay!

I recently got some stuff to treat and protect my wrists/hands. I haven’t gotten to a point in which I cannot use them and I’m forced to rest, but I was close to.

I’ll be streaming this Sunday night (European night), celebrating that I quitted my job and, by then, should have caught up with school projects, which is what I'm working on rn while workin on some complex inking in whatever break I get. 

Hope you're doing ok or hanging in there 💪💛

You’ll see me drawing very soon.
