Hey guys! Just want to wish you a merry Christmas!! I hope you spend these days happy and comfortably!
I want to apologize too about the lack of update this December, the update will be combined with the January update.
Besides the art compilations (small ones once again), there is going to be a short 3D Update video, (Maybe the last one for Tekki, now that I'm moving onto the textures. If I make another one it might be at the end after any final adjustments to the rig).

I started another mockup lowpoly thing for a Twili Link. I'll clean it so you can download it, However it's not really an usable model. I made it to test how it could look, as well as yet another attempt at lower poly stuff, and maybe to practice shape-keys too, but after 3 days I left it as it is right now since any next steps would take too long to complete and it was already giving me a good idea of what an actual model could look like. If I can I'll try to work on it a bit more, at least edit the joints for better deformation, or make the face posable. Or that could come with another update down the line.

Alright, guys I hope you have a lovely end of the year and that you enjoy the holidays. Please take good care!

Hello Guys! I hope you are doing well! I'm sorry for this long time with no updates, I really wanted to continue with commissions as a main focus and I am ALMOST finished now, but I think I can finally shift focus, so by next month, I should have some Tekki stuff to share [I'm trying to pick back up where I left off and it's a bit weird coming back to such a big project, but the update videos have been very helpful to understand things again haha;;]

The Compilation and Commentary files are already posted.
btw, I plan on working on a little website/blog to write all the extra commentary and update stuff, so I can just link to it, instead of adding it to posts and cluttering Substar too much!
Thank you so much for your patience, I'm really excited to shift focus back towards Tekki! [And perhaps even animation too! Or creating Assets to build a tiny diorama/environment! There is so much to learn!]
Please take good care!

Hello! I am now back from that "vacation" period, along with the compilations from those two months!
That "buffer" time has been quite helpful! I feel like I've fallen behind on quite a few things, personal stuff too, and I'm trying to get back on track starting with finishing commissions! And thankfully these past 2 months have gone well n that regard! I've had some help (accountability buddy type stuff with family) and I've been able to better apply myself thanks to it, I've advanced a lot!
I will say though... I can feel my productivity decreasing a bit;;; It IS May, usually the hottest month of the year over here, and with no AC, there's only so much a fan can do blowing hot air around OTL. But I am determined to finish as much pending stuff as possible before June! So that I can shift focus towards others things, primarily back to 3D stuff, but also to other things like getting a hold of my replying habits as well as trying to maintain an actual online presence..!
I'm really looking forward to June..!
------------
These past 2 months have not been Commission stuff only though! I've made a few sketches here and there that I hope you guys will enjoy!

That's it for the update, I hope you guys are doing well! Please take care, and I hope May treats you well!

Hello guys, you might've noticed that I've started a "Vacation Mode" here on SubStar. The billing for March and April has been paused. Don't worry though I'll be uploading a sketch compilation this month, and hopefully other stuff next month as well.

I paused the billing because, as you probably noticed I've been struggling a bit to deliver on the rewards, I'd like to make up a bit for the past few months that have been pretty dry content-wise. 
I haven't been sketching much lately, and I've barely progressed on Tekki's 3D model too.

I'm trying to get back on track hopefully I can get a good rhythm going within these two months, but I wouldn't want to leave the billing going while I'm still figuring things out.

I hope that during this 2 months time I can share some new 3D progress with you guys, it might not be a video, but at least something new. And hopefully I make a few sketches, though I'm feeling a bit burnt out for anything more than simple doodles.

I'll let you guys know around the second half of April if May will continue being "vacation mode" or not. Hopefully by then I feel like I've got enough momentum to offer good rewards, but if not I'll definitely let you know!

Sorry it's been a weird start of 2024, but I really appreciate your patience and I hope you've been doing well!

[ NOTE ABOUT GUMROAD NEWS ] - I'm still looking into the whole Gumroad banning NSFW stuff, I read one account of Gumroad stating it's enough to unpublish products instead of deleting them? I think that means it would remain on people's libraries? I don't understand the situation yet but I'm setting up an ITCH.IO page to maybe move things over there.

I'm also thinking about just adding the file for download inside the SubscribeStar posts themselves.

[Thinking back, I think I started using Gumroad because my internet connection was really bad and uploading through Gumroad was more reliable than through Patreon. The library thing and ability to purchase outside Patreon were added bonuses, but now it's the only reason to keep doing it]
