October Recap:

Last month saw the launch of the new Patreon perks as well as my new series, Doodles After Dark. The response has been overwhelmingly positive, and I’ve gotten such a kick out of reading your comments. Thank you for making it such a fun experience! 

Gold patrons received new avatars to sport during the Fall/Winter season. Here are a few I’ve completed so far:

Avatars for Kyle and Reavyn

The first patron livedraw took place, and I was joined by my good buddies  Pedro, Jane, and Wes as we shared Halloween stories and drew spooky doodles. One of which was this sketch of my witchsona:

Outside of drawing comics, I kept myself busy with plenty of other projects. In fact, here’s a look at how I organized my to-do’s from this past month:

Main idea: Break larger projects into separate columns then prioritize tasks from there.

I spent a lot of time in October researching and updating the overlay for my Twitch livestreams. Here’s what the new layout looks like so far (I'm still making adjustments):

It has active elements that list things like recent followers and the current song

A regular stream schedule is in the works, and I’ll keep you all updated when it’s finalized.  

Finally, I spent the tail end of October designing new merch for the holiday season. This included adding shirts, mugs, and more to the list of items in the shop. Here’s a small collection of the new items and designs, with more in the works as we speak:

There will be a mix of best-selling and completely new designs

These items will be available to order very soon, so people can hopefully get them in time for the holidays. 

November happenings:

November is already well underway, and it’s going to be pretty hectic up until the end of the month. Here's a brief overview of what's coming up and the things I'll be focusing on:

The next livedraw for gold patrons will be coming up soon. I haven't decided a day yet, so if you have a request for a specific time/day, please let me know!

I'm continuing work on new merch items and will also be focusing on clearing out old stock before next year. I’m offering patrons first dibs on these items before I list them in the shop, because there are very few copies remaining:

Retiring designs - Supplies limited

If you’re interested in giving one of these bad boys a home, hit me up with a message!

Finally, I have some personal goals that I'd like to work on this month:

• Resuming regular Unipegasaurus posts - I miss the lil’ guy and have a TON of backlogged ideas
• Writing. I’m interested in taking on bigger and more ambitious projects outside of my short form funnies. This month I’d like to embrace the spirit of NaNoWriMo and challenge myself to writing out a few of these ideas each day.

Phew! That was a lot. We made it! Thank you for sticking with me and supporting the work I do. See you all again soon!
