Is 100k pageviews a possibility before the end of the year? Stick around to find out!

My old watermark "Artwork by KoolKat/Riilu" has now been replaced by a much more stylish and elegant "Art By Riilu"

It's been quite good. My mental health has been basically on the top of its game last year, and I started doing commissions full time. In fact, business has been booming, and as a result, I've made a total of 382 submissions this year.

That's just about one upload per day, sliiightly above, quite impressive huh? Lets beat it 2019, and lets also reach past 2k watchers!

Im a new years baby, isn't that funny? Makes birthday celebrations with family easier. Christmas, new years, and birthday in one go.

Also, happy new year!

I'm freezing my queue for a bit since I will be going to my parents for christmas. This means I will not start any new artwork. HOWEVER! Patreons are exempt from this, I will try to get some work done around christmas. Also, you can still apply to enter the queue

My tumblr account has now been deleted, but I will continue to upload art as normal in all other places I upload art.

I'll be over to my parents for yule and over the new years to Celebrate yule and my birthday, and I'll be away for 2 weeks, I might bring my tablet with me to do some work between yule and new years, but no promises. So expect not many uploads at all during that period. Please understand I haven't had any vacation for the entire year with all my hard work going at commissions.

I will be deleting my Tumblr account on the 17th due to the change in policy on pornographic content, since I exclusively use Tumblr to post my art, I don't see any need for it any longer and as such it will be deleted. I will continue to upload artwork as regular on FurAffinity, Twitter, my Telegram channel, and Patreon.

Great news everyone, I bought Clip Studio Paint EX, I'll start learning the new software in the coming days, for a while I'll still stick to SAI for actual work since that's all set up correctly. I'll be experimenting with animation in the future and I'll be trying out all the new tools to hopefully make even greater illustration work.

It wasn't utilized very much, to the point i forgot about it, so i am making the decision to discontinue it.

The submission "vent art" has been removed due to a large amount of abuse I have received on it, I'm not reporting anyone this time but if I see this pitiful behavior again I will take the issue up with site moderation. I have blocked some users who I found to be particularly abusive. My thoughts and feelings on the matter depicted in the submission however remain unchanged. it's just that my FA account is no place for drama an abuse, and I didn't anticipate such a virulent reaction of malice from the community just because I don't like a video game.

Please understand my reasoning,

Thanks for taking your time to read the following post, it contains imporant information

So, I appreciate all you supporters of my patreon, but some changes will have to be made to the tier rewards. I make about ~200 monthly from my patreon forabout 15 people, now i really appreciate the support, however there's a bit of a problem. You see, I put out around one finished art piece daily, and with around 15 art pieces to make a month, and I make only ~200 for it. There's a bit of a problem. I make only $200 from a half a month worth of work, and I need a bare minimum of around ~600 to make it through a month.

So sadly, I will have to change the rewards for some ofthe tiers

-Beginner tier
Unchanged

-Every bit helps tier
Removed

-Good value tier
Removed

-Rainbow tier
The quality will be change from ink + color to color sketch

-Super tier
Cost changed from $25 to $30

-King tier
Cost changed from $40 to $50

These changes will come into effect on DECEMBER 1ST

Rewards for november will be as they are now

Excellent work! Love you guys so much, this is a big milestone, halfway to 100 000!

Can we meet 2000 watchers before the end of 2018?

Reopning my commissions now that I'm starting to feel better.

So I had to get surgery for my pain, but I'm all good now, will try to be back and drawing tomorrow.

Sorry, I am just in too much pain to work. Once I got this all sorted out I'll get back to commissions as usual

Been having pain for the last few days, was to the doctors, they gave me some ointment from the pain, and mentioned antibiotics, that I wouldn't need them at this time. But now I'm starting to feel rather sickly, cold fingers and toes, hot face, dizziness, tiredness. Might have to go back to them tomorrow

Great job guys, makes me feel appreciated. <3

Well, not so much "inactivity" more that I've been really busy with 3 large projects simultaneously. I hope you understand and I will try to have something uploaded tomorrow.
