Hey folks! Time for some news and information. I'll keep this brief-ish as I know you've got other important things to catch up on and art to look at and stuff!

Upcoming Cons!
I'll next be at Furnal Equinox in Toronto, March 17th-19th. I will be away on a short break during the convention and for the rest of the week after.
After that, you can find me at Anthrocon in Pittsburgh, June 29th-July 2nd, where I'll have a dealer table and intend to display in the art show as well. I might be running a panel this year, too. More on that later...
After that, I'm not sure what's going on until MFF! I might fit a con into the fall but we'll see.

Patreon Updates!
I've made a few changes to my Patreon to improve the experience for all my generous patrons. I'm also considering a Discord server for my patrons though still weighing pros/cons. Please take a look - we're only $6 away from my first goal and there are still 2 days to pledge for next month's rewards!

Commission Information
I've been thinking about my commission work for a while. Lately, I've been putting increased time and effort into my commissions to really make them the best they can be. I always want to give commissioners art they'll be pleased with, and I've had some folks recently even tell me that I delivered pieces well beyond their expectations. That kind of feedback is so encouraging!

As many of you know too, I'm on the immigration trail to Canada to live with my husband  catmonkshiro. We're planning ahead for our future together and getting our lives in order. Moving, paperwork fees, travel... all these things cost money. I'm more than willing to bust my ass to earn it and have been doing my best with that through a combination of commissions, my original merchandise, and Patreon. These imminent plans and future needs along with my growing investment of time and effort into my work has led me to a decision. I've actually been putting this off for a bit, but I think it's time.

I'm adjusting my commission prices. Not by any huge amount, just a margin I feel reflects my work while being fair to you folks as well. Even when I have to make these changes, it's important to me that things are reasonable and justified! Here's an overview on what to expect as of April 3rd, 2017:
Standard commissions: 1-character is now $75, 2-character is now $95. More characters are still available but priced on request.
Badges: Most badges are increasing by just +$5, except for Deluxe badges, which are not changing price.
A few other items will also see minor adjustments. Full updated information is available on my commission information page. (All prices in USD.)

If you've already booked a commission with me or received a quote for an upcoming project, don't worry - this doesn't affect your project! I'm booked through March as of last night, so this adjustment only affects totally new bookings starting in April. Thanks for all your support and understanding.

Bug Adoptables?
I recently had some interest into me making adoptable bug characters again. (I've only ever done a couple adoptables, so if you don't know, I really prefer to do each character as its own unique design rather than using a template.) So far I've been asked to consider scarab beetles, moths, and butterflies; I also have some ideas for bees. Is there anything you folks might like to see?

Thanks for coming with me on my creative journey, whether you've been here since the early sculpted charm days or just watched yesterday. 💖 Have a good day and week!
