IMPORTANT: will likely pause billing for next month(s)

Well, it sucks to announce this, and I wish I could switch the billing from "monthly" to "per creation", but as the title says, it's quite likely I'll stop billing for the next month at least, due to a good news/bad news situation.
The good news, at least for me, is I got hired for an art job that's going to keep me busy until June approximately, and will require most of my attention. This is not art as "Xss": this is directly tied to my professional portfolio and the career I've been working on for these past years. I won't get into the details as it's tied to my private life, I'll just say it's not a studio gig, the pay could be better, but it's the first step towards getting noticed in the industry (or what's left of it before all illustrators will get replaced by AI "sight"), so I'm quite excited about it, but also nervous and somewhat terrified!
Unfortunately, here comes the bad news: it's going to greatly reduce the amount of time I can spend on other art projects, specially as Xss. :(
At the very least, I'll need a few weeks to get adjusted, and see how it affects my schedule.
I think I'll be able to create one piece of artwork per month, maybe two, but it might be tricky. And since commissions pay more than patreon, they will likely get the priority.
Once that big gig is over, or if I find a good balance that allows me to produce content for the patreon while working, I'll resume billing again.
Another option, though I'll have to think about it, would be to post only a few sketches instead of complete pieces, or switch to private streams where I'll be working on some of stuff that will be important for my job (nothing is under NDA).
I'm sorry for the inconvenience. I understand it looks disappointing to pause billing right after launching this patreon, but I wasn't expecting to get that job.
