A summary of things coming up in the next few months
6 years ago
So for those who haven't checked out the video I made on the subject ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i4Nfd1L7_Pw ), I started the year by submitting a resignation from work, and if all goes smoothly, I'm gonna be moving out of the apartment and into a house by the end of March.
Why should this interest you? Well, I'm doing this all in order to be an artist full time, which means;
- Commission slots opening regularly (10-ish per month).
- Higher production speeds for ToT.
- Space Vixen returns.
- Animations???
- More fun schtuff happening.
- More time for me instead of working 12 hour days.
On the more adulting side of things, it also means;
- A higher reliance on Patreon support, which I'll be revamping and making into a proper thing rather than a tip jar like it be now. I'll also be making some other support options, like Kofi or whatever is popular these days.
- Longer arting days (and longer streams, which I'll be putting up notice for more regularly).
- More effort in earning my keep, but my keep is much, much lower than it has been, so it balances out a bit.
- Completely renovating an entire house pretty much on my own.
2020 is gonna be an interesting year, for sure.. But hey, no time like the present, and if we don't take the risk when we have the chance, we never will, so here we fucking go :3

Just be careful to not overdo it early on, you really don’t want to suffer burnout or an injury when your still finding your feet.
Really though, it sounds like you have a decent plan, and I hope it works out for you.
When I contacted you about commissions, I was (wrongly) under the assumption you were /never/ opening them again. So, I'm all for this, especially if it helps you live well!
Though I hope this doesn't mean that there's going to be a whole slew of Patreon-Only stuff. I really don't have the money for the some 10 artists who want $5+ per month just to view their art who only post little snippets on FA.
The idea of Commissions, though. Now that could be nice.
Best of luck, I am cheering you on!
More art from you sounds absolutely wonderful!
