October | Blog

As mentioned a while back, I originally planned to open a few slots for the SubscribeStar request form in November, but I am unsure if I'll go continue to do so at present. I'll provide an update later if I do decide to open it again.

September | Blog

My college work started earlier this month, and it appears it will be more involved than last semester, so please forgive me in advance if some things are a bit delayed.

SubscribeStar Requests (Limited Tiers):

As a reminder, since I moved those to a 60 day timer, it's highly possible (depending on the request) that I'll roll over into a new month before I get to work on them, so it is completely fine if you'd like to merge that request with one for the next request during the next month. You can also change your mind on the request for something else, provided the request isn't in the sketch column or further right on the trello in general. Sometimes I barely have anything done when something is still in the sketch column, so don't be afraid to ask if it's in there. (Trello for reference: https://trello.com/b/CZPqFKkf/paid-artwork-progress)

There is technically nothing stopping you from just waiting a bunch of months to merge the requests together into a long sequence, but I don't think anyone would actually do that...

August | Blog (Possible Re-opening of Super Nightmare Tier ; Reminder about Comm Price Raise)

Edit: Figured I should probably put out a reminder that my commission prices will be raising slightly in September. If I quoted you on an older price for a commission that is currently in waiting then you are still on the old price.

Next month, I might re-open the Super Nightmare tier ($30), but I will change how it functions.

• Old: Request 2 Images + 15% Commission Discount
• New: Mini Comic Request (2 Panels + 1 Full Image) + 15% Commission Discount + Super Normal Benefit (Every 6 months get 1 Full Image Request)

I will probably keep the amount of slots for this low, like 1-2. These won't be reserved, so it will be on a first come, first serve basis but I will announce the time of opening ahead of time when I do so. If/when I reopen the Super Hard tier, I will probably adjust it similarly and with way fewer slots than previously (down from 8, probably like 1-2) and slightly more expensive for adding on the 6 month request bonus ($14 -> $18).

Other:

I ordered my drive, but in my hubris I forgot to consider who the seller was and they used USPS for shipping (the best postal service; the only postal service that does not know how to place packages at my door) and my package failed to deliver. The tracking claimed USPS was still holding it, but upon going to the building they said it's not there anymore, so I am currently waiting for that to sort out so I can order it again. I will have to continue gambling with my failing drive for now.

Thank you for the support.

July | Blog (Commission Price Increase Reminder)

As mentioned previously, commission prices will rise in general by 1000 JPY (~$6.30 USD) and panels by 500 JPY (~$3.15) in September, though extra frame discounts will still go down to 3000 like before (5000 -> 4500 -> 4000 -> 3500 -> 3000 -> 3000 -> etc.). The paid request form will continue to stay the same price for a while. I probably won't raise the commission price again next year; I think this is fine enough.

If I gave you a price for a specific commission already, the price for that commission will remain the same even if it goes past September before payment.

June | Blog ($5 6+ month DM Reminder and July Form Opening)

Next month, I'll open the Google Request form again for a while; unsure when I'll close it. Also reminder: If you're on the $5 tier and haven't claimed your 6+ month subscription request, please DM me for it because I genuinely can't tell most of the time because SubscribeStar makes it hard to tell what months you have subscribed to for some reason. I may be not very talkative, but I promise I won't bite. These won't expire, so take your time if you need to.

Other:

I played Deltarune Chapter 5. It was alright; I liked the new overworld gimmick. Maybe the next 2 chapters will have something I'll want to draw TF of.

I don't really have much else to put here for the month. Thank you for the support.

May | Blog

It's hard to believe it's already year 2 of starting this SubscribeStar. So far during this entire process we've had:

• Texas going crazy with R18 material, so my galleries have been cut down
• Visa/Mastercard going on a crusade to ban more material because they have too much power
• SubscribeStar falling victim to the above and being afraid of funny knees

It's all pretty tiring, but at least TF in general is able to get around this for the most part, so that is fortunate.

After this post I'll post a poll to ask for which project to prioritize.

SubscribeStar Other:

Due to having enough commissions in waiting to make up for the withdraw limit, the SubscribeStar request form will be delayed to July. Next month will also be the time for $5 tier subscribers who have been subbed since at least January for their 6 month request.

Other:

I bought another mini-fridge with this month's subscriber money because the one I got from my late uncle has started to rust and not close properly. I'm not sure how old it was: I remember it being there in his house when I was still in grade school. Also later in the month it started storming and a tree branch fell on my car which broke the windshield, so I had to get that repaired.

Thank you for the support.
