The 15th was this week, so all the new non-YCH commissions finished during this week will be posted next month, and I've put some of the backlog from this month into this post.
I have to slow down a little, but I'm not giving up!

Report Summary:

Business:

- June's special offers are live! They are Domestic Kink, Mo Dao Zu Shi, and Reptiles. Any commission that fulfills any one of these conditions is eligible for 20% off base price. Subscribers get 5-20% off depending on tier, so please be sure to wait for confirmation on price before sending the money.
- Magical girl outfit commissions still available! Not necessarily girls or PMMM-only; really just fancy outfit commissions.
- Tentacle Drive: I've got a lot of commissions in the way at the moment, but I've already started thumbnailing, so I'm hoping to do this by either August or September. November at the latest!
- The Brotherhood of St. Bernard: Cover is done! I can't even begin to say how happy I am with it, look at their blessed snoots, look at how soft and peaceful they look; cervine_prince did above and beyond what I was expecting. 💖💖💖 You can read the story here.
- Knot A Problem: Cover is done! DigitalPopsicle worked really quickly on this, and the end result is beautiful too; Marzi looks so vivid! I'm having some trouble posting it on websites to pay for, but it's free here for subscribers Singer and higher.

Goals:
- 39/1200 USD per month from subscriptions.
- 1267/2000 USD earned for my art raffle goal! Remember, the prize for the big raffle is a fully lined piece with a complex background and up to seven characters.

Raffle Updates:
- The regular subscriber raffle will be on August 1, so be sure to get in there if you want a chance to win free art! The prizes are a custom cel-shaded image (simple background, maximum 2 characters) OR a custom flat color image (simple background, maximum 3 characters.)

- Pansexual Pride icon YCH (OC) for ArseniCyanide.

I looked around at apartments and had dinner out this week. Still got plenty done, though!

Business:
Business updates:
- Reminder that I have shibari commissions open indefinitely!

- Cherub adopt still available now for slightly reduced price, but I'm no longer offering the ref sheets. Buyers can still get the color adjustment and color guide, but ref sheets will have to come separately.

- May's special offers for commission discounts are still Oviposition, Homestuck, and Aquatics (mermaids, kappas, fishfolk, etc.) If you can't pay upfront, we can do a monthly 10% installment after 20% down payment.

- Egg drive definitely rescheduled because I didn't have time to work on new images.

- Fixed up the adoptables on my buymeacoffee page

- Added ref sheet commissions (also 10% off until the 15th.)

Goals:
- 25/1200 USD per month from subscriptions.
- 637/2000 USD earned for my repeatable art raffle goal.

Raffle Updates:
- Starting August 1 and then every four months, I'll run a raffle for paying subscribers; the winner gets either a custom cel-shaded image (simple background, maximum 2 characters) or a custom flat color image (simple background, maximum 3 characters.)

- The repeatable raffle prize is a fully lined and shaded piece of custom art. All add-ons are available for free. Entry into the raffle is automatic after someone purchases something from me.

Finished Works:
The following will be posted after June 15. In the meantime, here's some previews!
- Finished a fantroll sketch for CurseOfBoredom. Was pretty interesting!
- Finished vampire OC sketches for Penglog Enfys. Apparently they're a gift for a friend.

Publicly posted this week:
- Mahou May sketches 13-18; the themes are Necromancer, Exorcist, Gunslinger, Brawler, Bard, Spring, and Dancer. Currently a couple days late because I was out and about this week, and I meant to post Spring last week but messed up. :')
- Decided to start yet another challenge, we'll see if that's a good idea or not lol; Pencilcat's Improvement Challenge is a lot though so I won't be doing the days one after the other. Below is my day 1 from this week, and I'm not sure when day 2 will get done. Took me about 1 hour.
- Posting Day happened and I've decided to post one or two things a day instead of all at once.
