Since it's the turn of the month, I wanted to remind those who used to back me on Patreon I got banned nearly a month ago, got no strikes or warnings, it just sort of happened.

I have accounts on Gumroad, Ko-Fi and SubscribeStar that work in the same way, so far I've added the "Access to Special Folders" reward perks on all three sites, unfortunately Patreon left me no way of contacting most backers after banning me, since most people were in that perk.

Oh, of course thanks also to all the ones who joined on those right away after they noticed what had happened

I'll quite likely add more reward perks later in the year as I have some things planned as always. I'll be contacting those who had drawn rewards personally, as those were just a few and I keep constant contact with them.

As usual, you can see all the sites I'm in by checking my LinkTree. I'll be out for a while, take care everyone <3

As the title says, I'll be traveling abroad from the end of February til around mid April, I'll take my drawing tablet with me so I'll draw here and there, but I certainly won't be uploading much during that time. The commissions schedule can be seen in my discord server, it's also where pics are uploaded first and where I'll reply first if you message me, so join in if you want.

And as said above my Patreon page has just been nuked, no ifs or buts, no warnings or appeals, good thing I haven't been staking much on these imbeciles for years now, and seeing how a handful of people I know had gotten their account nuked before it was only a matter of time.

Ah well, I guess it means one less sites where I have to be worrying about uploading content. I have a SubscribeStar if you want to show support for my artwork, which is basically Patreon but better. I also have a Ko-Fi page but I reckon I should update it, I haven't touched in god knows how long. Also Gumroad, the hi-res and sketches folder can be accessed there as well.

Anyway, you can check all the pages I'm in by looking at my Link Tree.

A small note to start with, I post everything I do in multiple websites, so you may have missed some of my content, you can see the links for the websites where I post things here.

As the title says, I have a handful of things going on atm, first of them is, as I've been mentioning quite a lot in my discord, I'll be undergoing a medical procedure in a bit over a week, so I won't be taking commissions this weekend and I'll need some time to recover, how much though I can't tell for sure, the next batch will be the Christmas one, though whether it happens in early or mid december I can't tell for sure. I'll update the Christmas event pic and let you know when the time approaches though.

For the price increase, I was initially expecting to increase prices in the middle of next year, but this last batch I ended up filling slots in the same minute I opened them and a ton of people were left out, I'll still give some room before increasing prices though so there'll be two more Stream Batches before I do, the upcoming Christmas Batch, then a final FFA at the current price of 50 USD per character, after which the price per character will increase to 65. This will likely be at the end of the year, but for this price increase I'll also be doing a couple different things:

-Currently Ongoing sequences that get steps commissioned after the price increase will be priced at 50 until they're completed. This only applies to currently ongoing ones, so ones started in the upcoming two batches won't count.

-If you commission a multi step sequence, the starting panel will be priced at 65, but every subsequent panel will be priced at 60.

I'll make an updated version of my commission guide as the date approaches.

Another couple points I'll applying right away will be:

-About multiple characters in one commission, if you commission too many in one go, like 4 or more, you'll be limited to commissioning 1 or 2 characters in the next batch.

-Since the standard amount I consider "slots filled" is 30 characters, half of the slots will be assigned for single character pics while the rest will focus on multiple character pics, and newcomers will have some priority since they're usually left out of batches.

A final point I wanted to bring up is a hiatus I'll also have coming up in early 2024, I'll travel abroad by the end of february and spend the entirety of march away as well as a chunk of april, I may work on random stuff here and there since I'll have my laptop and smaller tablet with me but won't be doing streams for around 6 weeks. I'll let you know more as the date approaches.

I've just finished drawing the Christmas commissions, and will be uploading them little by little in the upcoming days, like one or maybe two a day, as there's plenty of pictures to last until Christmas. But as I've been mention for a while now, I'll be doing some traveling, and won't be back here until mid january, and once I do I intend to start looking for a place to rent, so streams should resume in february.

I'll still do some drawing here and there, but will for the most part spending time with friends and family. It's been a very shaky year and I haven't taken a single week off since I arrived here, precisely because I knew I was going to be offline for a while starting in december.

While we're at it, I've also just opened an itaku account and I have an instagram I've had for a while but which I'll be updating with old pics little by little until I catch up to my latest stuff:
