Another lovely image, and you did a wonderful job conveying her mermaidness without being able to see any of the tail. :)

And I know what you mean, patreon rewards were among other things kind of stressing me out too, so I'm just using mine as a tip jar for now, effectively.

The tricky part for me with Patreon is that I'm trying to use it to get away from relying 100% on commissions, so I have to make sure whatever I offer over there isn't just essentially more commissions. I tried to use the personal art I was already making to generate the rewards, which worked fine for a little while when I was doing weekly streams and producing a TON of art. But that wore me out pretty quickly, so I scaled way back. Then I realized that not every piece I create can be turned into a coloring page, and that I didn't particularly like having to finish even just one piece every month...it put deadlines on things that are meant to be enjoyable for me. I can make super detailed fully rendered pieces of art *sometimes*, but that can't be expected on a regular basis, commissions simply take up too much of my energy. :C
I'm hoping though that taking it down to *just* sharing what I am working on will ease that feeling of things being on a deadline though. I won't be making as much on Patreon but I won't be stressing as much either.

That makes sense, and I hear you there too, I think I do my best work when I don't have external deadlines, though lately I have had a hard time being creative and will likely soon have to return to work, so I'll have to get used to a variable balance while I look and figure it out after I guess.

Lovely. And the little bubbles does so much to ad the depth of water to this.

Beautiful. ^^
