Hi there fluffs, a few things to announce and bring to your attention
Website
http://www.electropawartworks.com/
-EPAW's site: has been updated to look more gorgeous than ever, just a few more little things to tweak when time allows.
-Mugs: have been added to the navigation bar to the left with new photos. The cuddlemugs are also now available to custom order with your fursona on them! We'll allow for full customs soon
-Vinyl Stickers: There are new designs to be added there, but we've added the link to the left menu bar to help navigation.
-The Scavenger Wars: You'll see a new link on the slideshows to the right for an upcoming webcomic / graphic novel, more info coming soon.
Pricing
Fluffs, if you remember a few months ago we were very strapped for cash due to our forced move and all the drama that came with it. I announced a price increase to maintain our extra expenses but it was never implemented as we attempted to make ends meet with the pricing as they were. Unfortunately, as it stands end of this month we've barely managed to scrape through with rent payment. Unfortunately we're needing to up these prices now as I absolutely can't keep up with the extra work needed to cover our expenses and it still is not enough to get by.
You guys have been saying I should up prices for years, and when we do the sales stop. Please don't drop us now that we're finally increasing to get by and keep producing artwork.
Refsheets are now $50, coming with the design work, temp sheet, icon crops, telegram stickers and alt NSFW sheet. It's still a very good price for the work that goes into it folks.
Toons are now $12, with your telegram sticker crops available.
Prices for other artworks will remain as they were.
Internet
If you've attended my stream in recent months, the internet quality we're receiving out here is very poor. This is due to a combination of a dish that has to give us a signal from town, our neighbors having a jungle in their yard that blocks out the signal when the wind blows and the terrible coastal winter weather setting in. We're trying to make an alternate plan for internet but there is very little that can be done at this stage.
I have a dongle that can be used, but to stream this is costing $15 - $20 per day for the 2-3 GB of bandwidth we chew through working.
This is forcing me to take on more work than I can handle, backlog is piling up and we are not meeting our daily income quota, causing EPAW to run at a loss.
Please send us some orders in so this situation can be rectified and we can get out of trouble, I cannot keep us running without new orders coming in.
Missing Orders
It's come to my attention that some refsheet orders have gotten lost when one of my assistants organised and removed completed refsheets from their folder. If you have an outstanding refsheet that has NOT been processed yet, please use the http://www.electropawartworks.com/query/ queries page so that you can be assisted and put back on the schedule.
Shipping Delays
Please understand due to our financial situation here, shipping is delayed until next week when some funds are available to do so.
Backlog
Please understand the situation we are in right now, I cannot prioritize the backlog without new orders coming in and certainly can't work on anything if we are removed from our home, without power or God forbid hardware and internet fails. It IS being worked on, and we have been through many assistant staff members to find the right one who can do the job properly. If you have outstanding work, a missing order and something is NOT on our stream schedule http://www.electropawartworks.com/e.....amin-schedule/ , again please use the http://www.electropawartworks.com/query/ queries page so that can be put up ASAP for you.
Thanks for your continued support fluffs, we'll make the world a better place with EPAW yet.

Wish I could be around when you stream more. Makes it harder to get stuff from you, but that's life.
The price increase doesn't bother me, and I hope it doesn't bother anyone else- have you ever thought about posting stream announcements here on FA to try to leverage your large follower number into possibly greater volume? I don't know, just a random thought that floated by, based on what I see other people doing.
I think I got a few things on the backlog, but I don't know if they're the sort that require scheduling or if they're just whenever things- should I be filing a query about these or just sitting tight on them?
At any rate, I hope things start to look up at some point, this has been weird year so far.
On a side note, I have a maybe interesting idea for an image, I'll bring it up next time I manage to catch a stream.
