Preface:
Greetings my cherished benefactors. Allow me to give you my deepest heartfelt gratitude for supporting my art and helping me realize my passion. :3 I love drawing and I'd like to keep doing it for the foreseeable future. And thanks to your help, I'm able to sustain myself as a freelance artist. Sometimes life gets on the way, sometimes I don't get much sleep or I have to announce delays, but rest assured I will fulfill all of your rewards in due time. I hope that you guys stay with me and are able to support me in the long term, I'd be very grateful. In the event that you can't, please don't worry. Investing in art is a luxury and it's perfectly understandable if you need to use your money for other things. Don't hurt yourselves in order to help me.

Thankfully, still on schedule. While the extra breaks I need to take for my wrist make it tough to keep up with my output quota, I found a good balance of work hours and breaks. This was a very productive month, mostly in regards to bonus rewards as I drew a large amount of variants. Now, at a glance, variants may seem simple and quick affairs, but they are anything but. I wanted to clear this up due to a small exchange I had with a client off-site. Variants range from partial to complete redraws, and the only thing that facilitates them is that I sketch bodies, clothing and accessories, separately. In most instances, every variant is a whole piece worth of work, (unless it's a minimal change, like the color of the underwear or a slight lighting change.) If you guys rather have more unique rewards instead of variants, please do give me your thoughts. so far, variants are popular but that could change, so please communicate with me. I'm always looking for ways to honor the support you guys give me. In any case, hope you guys liked this month's rewards, I personally am verysatisfied with them :)
That being said, tough times are ahead financially due to global recession and the USD nosediving, but I will keep doing my best and delivering quality content for you guys. Thank you all again for your amazing reception and support. Thanks so very much! bows
