September 2021 - Update

Hey folks!

Quick thank you first for supporting the patreon all this time. Especially through the pandemic when it was (and somewhat still is) a hard time for people financially. So thank you for that.

Some updates to mention this month so I'll start with:

FF14 Art

Yep, I'm going to start getting into making FF14 art, stories and characters. This will be something that runs alongside my Wow art. My main focus will always be Wow art but I'm so invested in FF14 at this point that I want to build some stuff within it's universe for people to enjoy. So consider it a sort of extra thing on top of what I already make! They're most going to be Gpose created stuff with heavy editing - it kinda takes me back to my ol' screen manip days where I started so its kinda nostalgic too.

Your Character Here 2.0

The "Subruary" YCH back in Feb was a success and it proved to be a great way for people to get into a premade scene for a very low price. As such I'm already planning another YCH of a similar nature but have not yet decided on a theme for the next one. If you have ideas then do let me know either here, on twitter or in my discord.

Giveaways and you

As always, giveaways are hosted on my discord for everyone and I'm looking into ways to make them more interesting. I'll also be doing a better job of the prizes i offer as to avoid the issues encountered in some previous giveaways.

Commissions

I often get asked about when commissions will open and some of you have noted that even while closed, I do seem to be taking commissions. These are mainly commissions done for friends and preferred customers with whom I've established a rapport with over the years. So it's somewhat possible for anyone to get a commission outside my commission periods but very unlikely unless we've done business a lot in the past.

As for when public commissions will next be open, I haven't decided yet but I do anticipate opening them once before the end of the year.

Miscellaneous

I do have some stuff in planning for the website as well as some minor changes to the patreon I'm considering. However as always, the patreon will remain a $2 for everything deal and merely a way of supporting me. I will never paywall my content.

And that's all for now. Thanks for all your love and support,
Lots to look forward to as we forge ahead.
