Monthly Report: August 2019

Preface:
Greetings my cherished benefactors.
Allow me to give you my deepest heartfelt gratitude for supporting my art and helping me realize my passion. :3
I love drawing and I'd like to keep doing it for the foreseeable future. And thanks to your help, I'm able to sustain myself as a freelance artist.
Sometimes life gets on the way, sometimes I don't get much sleep or I have to announce delays, but rest assured I will fulfill all of your rewards in due time.
I hope that you guys stay with me and are able to support me in the long term, I'd be very grateful.
In the event that you can't, please don't worry. Investing in art is a luxury and it's perfectly understandable if you need to use your money for other things. Don't hurt yourselves in order to help me.

This was a catch up month. As you know, commission demand had gotten so high, that commission slots were all getting filled in less than 10 minutes. With no balance to demand I was severely overbooked and delayed. So dedicating the month to commissions as well as implementing a restructure to commissions and slots was needed.  The restructure aimed to balance demand once and for all and it was essentially a set of restrictions and a rate boost.
Feedback for this measure was mostly positive.  And while it does not help me financially, it will however, help me be up to date, have time for breaks and well, have spare time at all, tbh. My health was taking a big hit as it is, so the success of the restructure was a welcome breath of fresh air. Thanks everyone for the support and patience! *bows*
As for the commission backlog, it's almost cleared now and with fewer commissions overall, rewards and poll schedule will be back in full swing pretty soon :D

Reminder: Rewards are now distributed via Google drive link which is posted on every finished artwork and on monthly reports. Rewards are added as they are completed. Do keep the link handy. You can still get the rewards the old way, but there's no telling when Patreon will downscale files (seems pretty random.)
