Commissions, Collabs, Patreon & chitchats ʕ•͡ᴥ•ʔ

Hey fuzzballs! Wassup? It's been a while since I wrote my last journal on here and a lot of things are going on recently. So I thought, why not taking a short break, making up some tea and talk to you people?
Being on here, well, being on furry dedicated sites brought me more and more followers and I feel like my artistic path and carreer (boom, big word) has been increasing constantly in the past months. And it was thanx to you, people! So thank you, for all the support, for commissioning me, for following me and sharing my artworks out there! Sometimes I feel like I don't give enough appreciation to each of you, but know that I see you, I see you doing goods for me and I couldn't be happier and more grateful towards all of you! :3
Among the big things happened, I feel like sharing again my satisfaction and happiness about my very first publication, in collaboration with Thurston Howl Publications and the super talented Sisco Polaris, THE STABLE BOY (check it here: https://www.furaffinity.net/view/25404707/ ). It is now available in printed copies, but soon in digital edition as well! Getting to draw the cover art and the interiors was a big challenge for me but it was so fun and oh so rewarding. The whole process was very enjoyable and I'm looking forward for more of this kind of collaborations!
Also, I've been completing this commissions batch and I'm feeling pretty happy with all of them, tho I'm wondering if I'd better take a little break and just maybe upload some YCHs for Christmas instead of reopening for another round of commission slots? December will be craaazy and of course, I'll need to tap out from the 20th due to some family time... So yeah, know that I'll probably reopen for commission on January 2018! And about that, I've been thinking about some little changes about my commission options: let me explain this. I'm planning to archive the INK commissions and introduce a new BADGE kind of commission. I've been experiencing some downs when it comes to simple ink artworks, especially because those were actually not inks but a greytone kind of illustrations, which seemed to me... inadequate? A bit boring, maybe. Least to me? I wish I could explain this better, you know when you feel not 100% satisfied with an illustration you just completed? That's the feeling. I've been experiencing this just lately and I feel like I need to move to something else. At the same time, I feel like I cannot just take out the cheaper option in my commissions info page! That's why I thought of something "smaller", and more enjoyable for me to get to draw: con badges! Those will be digital painted and will come with your name written on there, of course. What do you think about it?
Also, I've been quite enjoying my Patreon routine in the past months (did you know I got one? Of course you dooo... https://www.patreon.com/Rov ) and let me tell you, that's a journey! I've been involved in those initial purges of fake accounts and those crappy things, but the site is back and functional and I've been loving working through there! It really gave me a good breath of creative energy and I've been loving to draw for my Patrons, enjoying some artistic freedom! Also, I'm planning some big changes for 2018 and I'll add a mid-ground tier for 10$ a month. Stay tuned!
That's it for now, Thanx again for all your loving support and I'll see you beasts around! :3
