Hello! Thank you all so much for November! Thank you guys for sticking with me, my god November has been such a roller coaster for me, which I am so sorry it affected things over here on patreon.
As I mentioned in a previous update post, I have indeed paused patreon payments for December, as I don't know what kind of schedule I will have in December as I have a new job, and I didn't think it fair on your guys to be left hanging.

Beyond this point I'll be talking about my in real life situation, so if not interested then all good! Thank you so much for November, and I look forward to seeing what I can throw at you guys art-wise in December!

Okay! So my in real life situation has somewhat improved. I managed to find and secure work for myself, sadly it is the furthest from my Graphic Design experience and degree but it will keep a roof over my head until I can find work in my field of experience next year.
However the job I got is full-time retail work, which means I will have a lot less time for art, and will be unable to look at my phone, let alone squeeze in any art-time with my ipad during working hours.
So pausing the December patreon billing was the right choice, and we will see how things go, I may pause January as well or do a poll to give some alternative ideas if things get rocky.

Other than that I've been making moves to adjust mental health and trying to understand certain feelings in regards to myself and also art and how to manage it. My life for the last two years was heavily revolving around art, in both a healthy and unhealthy way. So that is also something I need to work through.
I guess when I said you guys would be watching me struggle and stumble around as an artist I wasn't kidding!
It's really common for artists to always almost be forced to only show "the good side" to their art and their relationship with their art, like we aren't allowed to show how messy it all can be, how hard it is to deal with feelings of discouragement or envy towards other artists, or frustration in being unable to draw a particular character right *cough*Enji*cough*, but I think it's important to say and share it, not for attention but to show that the journey can be rough.

Anyways,
that's honestly all for now at least! I will attempt to keep you all posted if anything changes, but for now, thank you all for sticking with me, for all your lovely comments and likes and support! <3 <3 <3
