July rewards & an update
🕑 Added 2020-07-19 01:06:07 +0000 UTCHi!
It's funny that I should post July's rewards when I haven't even designed June's, BUTTT I have extra fun things I'm putting in all orders so you can't be mad at me hahaha! I'm adding the holo sticker to all packages as a thank you for your patience, and the third photo (the painting) is also an extra thank you postcard!
I am the literal worst when it comes to Patreon. I find it difficult to create good art, or at least art I'm satisfied with, while I'm behind or have a lot of things going on. For example, I redrew this month's postcard three? times before coming up with this one. The first was too cartoon-ish and I didn't love the proportions, and the second was way too "realistic" and mature. I have no idea how I came up with three wildly different paintings with the same pose, colors, and elements, but that's how erratic I am.
Because of this stress related art block, I've been trying something new with the stickers. The holo sticker is a completely different style than my usual, and the sticker pack isn't cohesive at all, but I had a blast designing both! I would love your input as to what you think of the style switch, but it really helped me step out of my funk.
I've also been facing a lot of hiccups in my process. My scanner software hasn't been working, and my very favorite tablet broke, so I had to find another one in my stash (and that completely threw off my process and began bugging my wrist). I'm sooo sad about the other tablet (the Huion HS610) because I was intending on making a review of it too! I'm gonna try to get it fixed since I know it's a pen issue.
Also, I have to tell you about my experience with Netflix on my promo painting for Cursed, and why I had to take down the video, but I will type out that story once there have been more developments. It's been kind of unprofessional, but we'll get to that soon!! Are you ready for me to be dramatic?
I'll be exporting a couple of the real-time process videos from my last paintings and uploading them for you, as well as the Procreate timelapse videos of the stickers!

Hi Sara, I'm your new patron all the way from Madagascar island. I've always loved your work, I remember learning everything from your YouTube videos When I used to use Krita 😊 it was 3 years ago, now I'm using Procreate but Krita stays my first love. I'm so happy to finally be able to support you and to thank you for everything you've done 💛 It's fine if your Patreon is messy, we're here not for the rewards but because we love you. Sawyer Cloud
That makes me so happy! I'm also glad you saw it; it literally didn't have anything that their legal team should have a problem with. I'm actually so upset about it hahaha, as soon as I figure out what their reasoning was, I'll probably do a dramatic update video on what happened
Ahh thank you! I've been emailing them trying to figure it out and they still haven't gotten back to me. If they don't respond, I might just set the video live again and hope I don't get sued hahaha
Yayyyyyyyyyy! Thank you so much! I'm gonna upload a couple of the procreate videos right now!
Ok, that holo sticker looks really cool, haha! I don't think a break from your usual style is a bad thing; it can be refreshing, and like you said it can get you out of a block. And I’m glad I watched your video on the promo painting when I did! I really don’t get why they had you take it down! Do you think you’ll be able to put the video back up eventually? I am prepared for a dramatic retelling.
