Happy New Year! What To Expect For 2024 [Update]

Happy New Year everyone! I hope you all had a good night last night ringing in 2024! I can honestly say New Years Eve is one of my favourite days (I'm not biased with it being my birthday..I promise xD) I spent the day just hanging out at home, doing some sketching (gotta embrace it when the inspiration hits!) and then heading over to a friends place in the evening for a gettogether we usual do annually on New Years Eve (: Got home late, and stayed up even later so I'm only JUST getting around to working now and it's...3pm LOL. Nice start to 2024 xD

Staying The Same

I wanted to give you all a little run down on what to expect with my Patreon and SubscribeStar pages this year. For the most part, everything's staying as is. My pages have and always will be a place to post work in progress sketches/screenshots/etc. I normally only share with clients. So that's always going to be the majority of what you'll see here. We're still going to be doing the monthly sponsored pinup illustrations. Those are probably my fav things to do each month cause it allows me to draw fanart, especially of characters I normally don't get the opportunity to draw on my own time! Sketch rewards will still be given out, 2 each month. Just going to be working on getting those out in a more timely manner. And of course our Discord is still going strong! I love popping in there to chat with you all and see what you're up to (: It's a very chill spot, and if you haven't joined it already, you totally should!!

Adding

UK SHIPPING! Woohoo! A few months ago I applied for a VAT license so I can officially start selling to folks out in the UK. I did this more so for shop sales, but I'll now be able to invoice for commissions properly through Square just like I do with the rest of my clients (no more making a custom product listing on itchio (which would cover the VAT fees) in order to take on a UK based commission lol). I received the license number earlier in December, so now that it's January, this means that starting today the NUB CLUB print tier will be accessible to UK clients! Please make sure to read the tiers description before joining; a bit extra will need to be added to cover VAT fees.

Considering Changing?

Sketch streams. How are we feeling about them being private? I really like the intimacy of a smaller crowd, plus it's easier for me to manage on my own without the need of mods. But I do sometimes miss the bigger crowds which resulted in variety in sketch ideas/characters/and audience. Back when I was doing them weekly I did notice sometimes we had to cut streams short due to having only a small handful of requests coming in. I'd like to bring streams back as a weekly event but only if we can guarantee enough requests would be coming in to keep the session going! If we do decide to go public with them, I'd love to offer first dibs to patrons on a slot (and then the rest raffled out as usual) just so it doesn't feel like I'd be taking benefits away from you guys. I'd love to hear your thoughts before I solidify any changes to streams! 



That's about all I can think of right now! I ultimately just want to keep drawing as much as I can this year and share as much of that with you all too! I've got some project plans for the year I'm excited to reveal soon, but for now I'm just going to work with what we've got going and keep improving on it! If any of you have any feedback for me, please feel free to share your thoughts below! If there's stuff you want to see added/changed/removed, don't hesitate to share! I appreciate any and all feedback!

Looking forward to what 2024 brings! Thanks for sticking around with me here <3 

Hey everyone! I arrived safely back from Midwest FurFest on Monday! It was a great weekend, however, I tested positive for Covid Tuesday ;A; I would have put out an update asap but I came down with a really high fever yesterday (40 degrees!!) and basically slept the entire day to fight it off. Anytime I did get up, I was super dizzy and overheating. I was able to manage it with Tylenol and sleep, and today, thankfully, I'm fever free! Just have the throat irritation and I'm sneezing like crazy lol. Feels like a cold at this point! Very similar to when I had it in 2021, so if that's the case, I should feel right as rain by the end of the week!

The booster shot I got a couple weeks ago is definitely doing it's job, I just wish I could have gotten away without getting sick x_x I definitely felt it at points during the con, but assumed it was due to being exhausted and worn out.

Anywho, I'm not back to drawing just yet in case it decides to bring me down again lol, so I'm still taking it easy. I'm going to get the posts for this month out, and I'll get to the emailed rewards before the end of the week too. 

Hope you're all doing well! Looking forward to getting some WIPs up here again for you all <3

What's This? Nub Club Update?!

Spent this evening updating the wording of the tiers, the bigger update being for the future of the NUB CLUB tier!

I've re-opened access to the club to EVERYONE (unfortunately all but UK countries :'D Don't worry, that shouldn't be a thing much longer! I'm in the process of getting my VAT license so I can properly collect and record the tax!) Previously it was just North America, but it's back to how it was when I first got this tier rolling! 

Remember, if you want tracking on your print, adjust your pledge to accommodate the extra cost! 

August Pinup Illustration [Update]
(Making this post public since we had a couple members drop out before September 1st!)

Hi everyone! Apologies for the silence on my part this last week or so. I was out of town for a few days (for leisure/family purposes) but I'm back now! I unfortunately was unable to get Augusts pinup out before the end of the month, and for that I'm also sorry! I'll be getting the WIP out tomorrow (Friday) followed by the finished piece. For those members that dropped out before September 1st, but were pledged for August, I'll be sending you a private folder containing both the WIP and finished files for August's pinup. Same thing will apply; please keep the files private, for your eyes only. The finished piece will be posted publicly later in September. 

I won't be doing any significant traveling for the foreseeable future, now that summer is coming to an end, so I'll be more on top of my work load from this point onwards! I'll have lots of stuff to share over the coming weeks, but I'll do my best to space things out reasonably (: 

Some future goals is to put one of my monthly commission openings on pause so I can do another book project like my previous art books/collections I've done. 

I'd also like to bring weekly patron streams back too, so I'm really hoping I can get through everything in good time! 

As always, thanks to everyone for their support, especially on here! SubStar really helps me with the bills each month, and I'm always glad to see there's folks out there willing to help support me with that while getting some bonus stuff in return (:
