Here's to 2023!

Hi, everyone! Happy New Year! I hope you all had a wonderful holiday season! It's been a while since I updated Patreon directly and with a new year, I feel like it's a good time to address a couple of things and give everyone a bit of an update! New year, New start!

LACK OF UPDATES TO PATREON

This is absolutely my bad and something I will be changing going forward. I have avoided posting here mainly due to scrapers and works have been posted pretty much exclusively on the Onedrive and via Discord, with Pixiv and Twitter being my primary public engagement platforms, where I'm the most active.

I'm now realising this isn't really fair to people who don't use those platforms and need a means of knowing when I update. That means going forward I'll be posting public versions of any art here as well. Nothing will change in how patron specific rewards are distributed though - any hi-resolution images, variants and so on will continue to be shared via Discord and via the Onedrive.

My apologies to anyone who has been left entirely in the dark on this!

REVIEW OF REWARD TIERS

Related to the above, the patron page has been in a bit of a state of neglect for a while (I'm still using art from 2017 for banners and junk here, fer crying out loud lol). I've been doing a bit of reflection, and have decided that this year I'm going to be shaking things up a little bit.

2022 was a nightmare for me and I'm at the point where I feel like I'm biting off way more than I can chew. Drawing is still a hobbyist thing for me, and my day job has been making it harder for me to invest the time into providing everything I want to for a long time now.

As such, starting in March I will be looking to review the reward tiers. My currently planned changes:

• Removal of the $15 tier. The $1 tier will continue to be a gateway into the Discord/donation box, the $10/$15 tier will effectively be merged.
• Patreon exclusive content will mainly be hi-resolution images/variants going forward rather than full on art pieces.
• I will unfortunately be winding up sketch requests. The volumes of requests I do get right now are just not sustainable for me to keep doing in any reasonable timeframe as they are without significantly impacting my other output. I will review/complete the ones I have now, and likely do one more round after that to finish up.

Any feedback, positive or negative, on this will be greatly appreciated!

PLANS FOR 2023

So what am I planning for 2023 itself? There are definitely a few things I want to achieve this year!

• I want to do more with Saki and Izumi. As a supplement to the story, I want to really dive in on the slice of life aspect and create some short comics/4-komas or animations featuring them both just being...them.
• I want to spend more time doing fanart/shitposting. There are a lot of people I've promised and want to draw for, but haven't had the time to. I want this to change. I have waifus I need to draw!
• Scratch the itch I have to draw other kinds of stuff I'm into but I don't usually do, like comically large boobs.
• Try and make a conscious effort to open commissions more than once every few years lol

Thanks everyone as always for your ongoing support and for sticking around, even if I'm woefully bad at interacting and maintaining a consistent standard. <3
