Update - October 2024
🕑 Added 2024-10-08 07:30:26 +0000 UTCHello! Giving an update about things on my end.
First. The whole extra charges through Patreon's App and subscription model changes.
If you have not heard about it already, Patreon will be charging extra for each subscription for those using their app in any IOS system. This are extra charges thanks to Apple, so I heavily recommend that any subscription you do in the future to do it using a web browser, any browser and not the app.
Patreon will eventually force the change of their charging model to a subscription one by November 2025. For the time being I will keep the usual "Charged the first day of the month" model, if I decide to do changes to this I will let you know.
Second. Mental Health.
My mental health suffered a heavy blow last month, I did give a heads up about stopping art for a few days as I dealt with stuff, but September in general was very, very difficult. I have managed to keep working on art, but some days were extremely hard to get anything done.
October has been, so far, better. Time has passed to process things, had some needed talks, help from good friends and been looking into myself. I am not saying things are good now, I feel it will take time and there is still much for me to work on, but progress is a positive. I will be looking in the future for therapy, I say in the future due to expenses and other difficulties not letting me get it anytime soon.
With this subject explained, I have the following small announcement: I will be taking a week off starting today.
A week might not be enough, but is all I can give to myself. I originally planned to take this Thursday to Monday off due to attending a con on my side, been planning this for a very long time with people, but with the recent situation I added a few more days.
Hopefully won't catch any con crud, as I plan to get back to usual work schedule by October 15th.
Sorry for inconveniences about this. I also require to rest my hands, as I have been constantly working for the last two weeks, weekends included. I wanted to get things done before the con but I only got partial art done, will need to work on the rest after I am back.
Thank you for reading, and I will see you next week.
