--- This message is for the ones who pledged on October and November ---
(Remember/Important: If you pledge on, for example, September, you do get September rewards in October 15th) So the pledges we are talking about here are the ones pledged in october and November, which rewards would be sent November/december.
This is going to be a lenghty message but please do read it all!
Hihi my lovely patrons. I was meant to send this through DMs but I feel is easier to explain it here so you dont need to have it x3 on your Dms!
I want to update you with what is going on nwo that the situation is under control. WHy not before? Because I wanted to make sure I could explain everythin ò.ó/ Please read this and bare with me for a bit!
As some of you know, and some of you don't, one month ago (3th november) I broke my foot. I had an emergency surgery and I've been recovering for the last month. It's been pretty painful but other than that, the recovery has been fast and I an overcoming everyone's expectations on my healing!
The thing is that, before that happened, I was already in a pretty risky balance situation. I was delayed by two weeks as everybody know and now the situation has worsened given I couldn't even sit on the pc for nearly 4 weeks (the foot wouldn't fit under the desk! once i got ride of the cast, it would swollen so much).
Being completely honest: I am defeated, this situation became bigger than what I could squeeze. So given the situation, I approached the patrons that were on discord (which represent around a 20% of the patrons here. Remember is free and you can join here!: https://discord.gg/tC7PJ6f ).
I proposed a solution that could work for everyone which I am going to share here. Gonna copy what I said to them
""This is for the packs/monthly hq picture, not the comissions. The comissions will be done as soon as i can sit here.
Here's my proposal, although i am willing to listen other proposals!
My current problem is that, in order to release the packs, i do not only need the monthly pictures but also all the work I did on the month. BUT I didn't work on the month because i was on medical leave (I am still)
So what i was thinking is that, in order to still give something to you, what about giving to the patrons, the following:
2019 Q1 (four months) packs (the whole pack, three months, including sketches, psd, etc, for EVERYONE) instead october
2019 Q2 (four months) packs instead november (the whole pack, three months, including sketches, psd, etc, for EVERYONE)
If required, same would be applied with Q3 on december, but I think it wont be needed
I say 2019 but it could be anywere from 2017 to 2020, even 2016. That would be up to discussion and we choose.
I will also include the full hq version of the comic I did years ago, Devil's hassle, that although is around internet, only the original patreons had the HQ.
If I can include something else I don't mind considering it!
In 6 years I haven't fail a month and i have always been there on time, for better or worse. But at this moment, I am admitting my defeat and is eating me from the inside. I cannot deliver at this moment and if we dont take this meassure i will be delayed forever. So i am begging you to consider it because I need these three months so we are completely up to date, catched up and we can keep going with new art and MORE content on the regular packs which had been lacking because I was late constantly. We will also recover polls this way.
If you have any other idea i am completely willing to listen."
The overall consensus, over the 20% of the patrons asked, was a completely and absolute yes. If you were a patron on 2019 we can talk so I send you instead 2018 or 2017 packs.
Why am I telling this now? Well cos I am fully back to work! I've started little by little and now I am ready to be fully back. I didn't want to say it before I knew how things would work out and I had the situation under control.
I deeply apologize for reaching this conclusion and I am about to proceed to send all the compensation rewards for everyone from october, november and december.
As always, I cannot say thank you for your support and from now on, I hope I can keep doing it even better.
