May Recap + June Schedule
Published: June 6th 2021, 9:40:49 pm
JHey pervs! 💖June is here and summer is on the way! Let's see how we're doing and what we're up to this month...
May was a month of lessons for me. I've learned to embrace my needs and limitations as an artist, a person with ADHD, and a person with chronic injuries. Â Over the course of the month I found a few ways to shake up my routine and set better boundaries, which is making me more productive and healthier.Â
For example: I got this cute little analog visual timer that sits on my desk now!
It helps me keep track of how long till break, or till I have to shift to the next task. This means I'm standing up to do my physiotherapy exercises more often, giving my brain a chance to unspool throughout the day, and getting better work done when I'm "on the clock."
I'm optimistic that I'll continue to grow more productive and more healthy as these habits keep growing through experimentation and iteration. It is my sincere hope that this will, in turn, lead to more time and spoons to make more art, for both you and I to enjoy. And that's all possible thanks to you lovely, filthy-minded degenerates. 💖
As to projects - May went fairly well. I got through a fair amount of commissions and Patron rewards, and am well underway with the other commissions on my plate. Talking of commissions, they are going to remain open for now. Commissions are still my best way of paying the bills consistently while this Patreon campaign grows. Thankfully, they still provide plenty of material for me to share with you!
That said, my goal remains to shift focus to personal and Patron-specific projects as time goes on & I will carve out what time I can for that as often as humanly possible. For now, that will mostly take place in the sketchbook thread, which I'm grateful to see you all enjoying so much! I've gotten some really lovely feedback, and I'm so happy.Â
Ok, so let's take a look at June.
Stream Schedule
- Patron-Only Discord Stream: Saturday, 6.26, 11AM Pacific/1PM Central.
- Public Picarto Streams: Mondays the 7th, 14th and 28th. 11AM Pacific/1PM Central..
Projects
- Commissions. I've got plenty, and many of them are super cute & sexy so I know y'all are gonna dig 'em. Plus I'll be taking more, as previously discussed. (Do remember that patrons are all entitled to discounts!!)
- Patron rewards. Duh! Sketches and color drawings for the Daimons and Megadaimons!! Some cute characters this month for sure.
- Sketchbook. I'm going to do my damnedest to sketch more of my OCs & my fandoms this month. I want to indulge myself more, cause every time I do, y'all seem to love what comes out of it. Everybody wins.
- Beach Vibes. I'm hoping to cobble together something featuring Sadie or Loya having fun at the beach, and maybe gear some of my fandom sketches towards the same theme. Summer's almost here and I miss the ocean! Speaking of - what kind of swimsuits do you guys find sexy? Let me know in the replies. I'm a slut for sling-style one piece bikinis. Horridly impractical, which makes them oh so fun. What about you?
Important News
You might have noticed I'm not streaming on Monday, June 21. I'm taking my first real, honest-to-Satan vacation in 6 years! I'll be out of town from the 16th to the 22nd. I'm headed out to see boyfriend Grey, whom most of you have met on Discord and who has been an incredible help to me and my craft this whole year. I'm so fucking excited!!
I am taking my analog sketchbook, and will no doubt do some doodling which I will share with you peeps that week. Overall though, I am trying not to do anything my brain might interpret as "work" while I'm away. Burnout is a bitch, and my family has a history of workaholism which I have routinely fallen into. I'm trying to be better than that. So! I'm counting on you guys - if I roll up in the Discord acting all business-like, call my stupid ass out!! 🤣
That should do for now. Thanks for reading!! Take care.
