June Update!
4 months ago
Hello hello!
First of all, Happy Pride!! I hope everyone gets to celebrate in a way that makes them feel safe and comfortable this month and that you continue to spread positivity even after <3
Next up, I'm posting a lil update regarding my current queue. I've officially started working through my waitlist, so I will not be adding new people to it. Once I'm done, I will be re-opening commissions (I'm hoping mid/end of June).
One thing I learned after my last round of commissions is that I think I took too many people. I'm not a huge fan of making you guys wait 4 months before I can start your commission. I think that's a little too long for the way I work, so in the future I will be taking a little less to keep the wait to 2-3 months at most. I'm really thankful for the patience of the people at the bottom of the queue!
I'll be re-evaluating my pricing and updating my Commissions website this month as well. If you are on the waitlist, the current prices are the ones that will apply to you!
Something I am also finally going to do this summer, is to get a Patreon up and running. I've been thinking about it for years and have had a lot of doubt that I'm good enough for one (something something imposter syndrom). So I'll give it a try!
What I think I can offer through it are some monthly sketches/emotes, upload full resolution images of my coms, give a guaranteed slot for commission openings and unlock nsfw commission options.
I've also considered Kofi, but I'm less familiar with the way it works. I'm very open to hearing thoughts on all this! Suggestions are welcome and if you're on Discord I'm very down for a discussion !
Also thank you to everyone who participated in the Sfaera Card Game's Kickstarter. This month, we're trying to bring all the finishing touches so we can send everything into production in July. Crossing fingers that we can stick to that schedule so everyone who pledged can get their game by the end of the year!
If you read through all this, thank you for your attention and I'll keep you guys updated soon on what's up next ! Happy Pride and have a nice week <3

Happy Pride to you as well.
Raising your prices is honestly very fair and valid given how great your work is.
Taking less commissions is also a valid idea.
A Patreon, huh?
I could see that working out nicely for you once you figure out the details.
Monthly sketches and emotes is a good choice.
You can certainly count on more.
Knowing the quality of your work and your professionalism, if I was wealthy, I'd offer you an old timey art patronage. Nice little villa, all the supplies you need for whatever you want, and just ask for the occasional cool lion-people art.
So, I'll at least keep an eye out for whichever platform you go with (and try and snag an opening in mid/late June).
