End of August Update Preview + NEW Donation Drive!

Hello, my lovely Floofballs! How's everyone doing? I decided to bring back the ol' End of August updates again in order to motivate me into posting actively once more! But before that update rolls out in September, I thought of sharing a couple tidbits beforehand... One of these bits being my NEW Donation Drive that I just launched this morning! So let's dive right in, shall we?

NEW Donation Drive is now active!
I've set up another Donation Drive where I'll be focusing on saving up for a brand new iPad Pro! Reason being, I've been getting shut out by the art community lately that I'm struggling to get recognition for just POSTING original art from time-to-time. This is also affecting my status to engage with fans and followers when I DO post fursuiting pics & videos here and there. So I finally decided to do something about it...

By posting ACTUAL drawn artwork more often.

As you've probably been watching, I've been doing MORE sketches lately than using AI to make what I want. However, I've also noticed the engagement die out because of it. It's clear that the mass majority of you don't actually care about what I make by hand. You prefer to see my AI-assisted artwork more than anything. Which is just WEIRD to me. I could share a plain picture of MASSIVE HONKERS that I drew by hand & one made with the help of AI.

Guess which one will get MORE views & favorites...

I've said it before, and I'll say it again... I don't want to rely on using AI anymore. It's been an amazing tool to help me IMPROVE my drawing skills, but I'm not about RELYING on it forever. So if you are only here for the AI artwork & NOT seeing me improve as an artist, I will kindly ask that you leave and find someone else to watch. I'm not kidding either. It's clear that I don't get commissions anymore, since many of you expect to get FREE art when it's available, whether it be from me drawing by hand or with the help of my custom AI model.

Still, there are the very FEW who still interact with me on a daily basis, both here on Deviant Art & on my other social media. Those are the people I will do things for when I can. They are ALWAYS going to be priority when I do open requests again. So THANK YOU to those that comment on my posts, send heartfelt & genuine Notes/DMs, and spread positive vibes with me when I'm feeling down. You guys are AMAZING!

Sketch Commissions Discounts are now active ($10 Sketches until September 7th)
Speaking on lack of commissions, maybe THIS discount will motivate you to get some art from me! Since I'm on the grind to saving up for an iPad Pro, I'm doing a marathon of sketches until I reach my goal to pay for this tablet. So if you've been looking to get something from me, NOW is the time to do so! Check out the details below...

$10 - Single Character
+$5/Additional Characters (LIMIT 3)
+$15 - Line Art +$25 - Flat Color

These are CHEAP & I'm doing this as a way to drum up commissions & practice more. I've got A TON of sketches in my backlog that I'm slowly cleaning up & posting publicly, & behind the paywall. So show some support & get some art from yours truly!

Note: I've also reduced the pricing of practically ALL my commissions that are currently available. Be sure to look into each one before you purchase anything! Thanks!

Lastly, I've got updates for A Minorian Tail dropping in the update next week as well. Pretty much, future pages will NOT have associated artwork, UNLESS it's to introduce NEW characters in a separate art piece. Next page WILL be dropping later in the week, so keep an eye out for it.

Anyways, that's all I have for now. Look forward to new content on the way, including some new sketches, BIGGER Betty growth sequence pages, and much more!
