4. Jill Valentine (Resident Evil)

5. Mei Misaki (Another)

Bonus: Zoey (Left4Dead)

As for the life Update. I'm sorry I'm so behind on the request drawings. When things were quiet I was able churn out a couple Patreon drawings a week, but the past 3 weeks have been an utter nightmare at work. There hasn't been a day in my current 6-day a week work week where I wasn't getting home earlier than after 9 hours of prepping and cooking and as late as a 13 hour shift due to a party going until late that we "needed" to be there to make sure they had enough food (they barely ate shit that night).  And they say this week is even more shit to prep and cook for, because these fucks who organize and get people to book this shit at our hotel are going non-stop at making sure as many groups and companies book their shitty events at our hotel, regardless of how burnt out and undermanned the kitchen is. :/

I'm mentally and physically exhausted, as is everyone in my department. Everyone looks like they're about to drop, everyone's patience is thinned to the point we're all snapping at each other. As for myself, I'm feeling all that and more. 

This constant round of banquets has fucked with my personal life. It just keeps demanding more and more of me to the point I NEED to spend my days off either drawing myself into a coma, or spending it doing a dozen things I can't do during the work week (appointments, errands, responsibilities) because I'm at my job early in the morning and possibly until late at night.  I have little time for almost anything right now, even just hanging out with friends.

It's taking every ounce of my sense of responsibility to not go into a depressed breakdown again like I did last year that caused my sudden hiatus on Deviantart but Its getting harder. One of the reasons I made this Patreon was to get away from working myself into depression to pay the bills, and I love all of you for supporting me up until now. To be frank I'm nowhere near where I can quit this job and survive off it and a part time job, but I just keep hoping you'll stick with me until this banquet rush finally ends and my drawing patterns can return to normal.

I'll be doing my best to make sure there is at LEAST 1 character poll drawing down each week until things finally quiet down, but I can't garuntee much knowing the shitstorm of catering that could be going on this week and the next. :/

Thanks for sticking with me guys.
