Happy New Year! Here are the changes to come!
🕑 Added 2023-12-30 22:36:35 +0000 UTCHello, my beautiful pack! Happy holidays, hope you’re having a fantastic time! Yet another year is ending. Not gonna lie, this one's been a little rough for me. Neither my physical or mental health have been the best, and a lot of unexpected expenses got a lot of money out of me this year, especially these last few months. Sorry If I was a little quiet and didn't interact a lot with you guys, I didn't want to worry you all or bother you with my problems. I just focused on working a lot, mostly on the new commissions and the ones I owed. Not gonna lie, I might need a couple weeks just to rest, not think about work and recharge a little.
On the bright side, I only have one commission left to do as of this date, so I don't have more pending work to do unless I open again. I can’t tell you how much of a relief that is. I've been carrying that list since last year. I couldn't reach my goal to finish them all this year, but at least I did most of them. I want to thank all of you for your infinite patience and support. I know I couldn't focus a lot on my original work this year and couldn't make as many rewards as I wanted, Forest Hunt 2 got delayed and I didn't have time or energy left for Lord of Dawn either. I'm aiming to change all that this next year. I have a lot of new projects in mind for this next year and some changes to the Patreon too, so I would like to share them with you.
PATREON:
- For starters, I'll change the subscription billing. Members will now be charged monthly on the same date they joined. This will prevent Patreon from charging new members twice at the start of the month. I hope this isn't a problem.
-Second, I'm working on giving a new look to my whole Patreon. I already changed the banner, and I would like to polish it a little more now that I have some free time. Hope you're liking the new look!
- I'm planning to add a new $10 Tier, this one will be called the Alpha Tier now. Members of this tier will have access to Lord of Dawn as well, but not the monthly sketch, now you have a cheaper option if you're only interested in the finished pages. The current $15 Alpha Tier will be now called the Godly Tier; this one will include all previous rewards and the monthly sketches, as well as the option to ask for a discount on commissions. If you ever want to commission me, you can have that discount as part of your reward. I don't know at which point next year I'll implement this, but I’ll let you guys know.
Comics:
- I'll go back to working on Forest Hunt 2 in January, not really a lot to tell there. I'd like to draw my characters a lot more, so expect a lot of extra goodies this year. A lot of it is non-canon so don't get too excited about it, haha.
- Lord of Dawn’s case is a little more complicated. I've been re-reading the whole thing and there's a lot of changes I want to make. I want to add more pages and a little more context, redraw a few things. However, that gives me the chance to include you guys a little more. I'm gonna start posting more sketches and a few more extras to make it more enjoyable. I'm not redrawing the whole thing, but I do think it needs a few tweaks if I want to tell the story I want and be satisfied with it.
World building Q&A:
I would like to open a Q&A about the world of Forest Hunt every month. You guys can ask whatever you want, either to me or the characters, about Forest Hunt, its world, or the characters themselves. I'll choose the ones I like the most that month and do a little artwork with the answer. Prepare your questions, the first one starts this January!
MERCH!:
That's right, I would like to work on some Merch too this year. I already have a few things in mind, so expect something soon ;)
I have a few more things to show you, but I'll do it in due time. There's a lot of awesome stuff I have planned for the next year, sure thing, and I'm really excited for it. Please, if you have any suggestions, feel free to send me a DM and let me know, I appreciate the feedback. Other than that, I hope you're having a fantastic holiday season, and wish you a Happy New Year, my beautiful pack. Thanks again for your support this year and see you all the next one.
