Happy new year

And I hope you had a Merry Christmas too, though I'm sorry the sketch was late. I also re-uploaded some pages of the Misty and Lana comic that were improved for the Gumroad release, and they'll be available on Discord for one more week(I promise I won't be making any more changes to that comic again).

Also, sorry for screwing up another year. Looking back at it, I'm quite shocked at how I managed to get so little done, even compared to the previous years(which didn't go particularly well either). I know I've given numerous excuses for being slow, such as the computer issues I had recently, though the biggest problem is that my health has also gotten a bit worse over the last year(not referring to the cold I had recently, but more long term health issues).

A while back I mentioned that I was planning to do more rewards each month, and it probably sounded unlikely in the first place, but in my current state I don't think I'll be able to manage that after all. So for now I just want to prioritise finishing one reward a month, and if I can manage that okay for a few months, then I may consider trying to do more. 

I also mentioned wanting to draw a larger variety of characters, and I don't want to go back on this entirely, though to be honest I have a really difficult time coming up with ideas, especially for characters that I'm not as familiar with/invested in. So it's probably for the best if I continue to focus mostly on Pokegirls, and only draw characters from other series if I can think of an idea that inspires me enough. The reason I struggle to come up with ideas in general is because I can only think up a limited number of underwater scenarios, and I want to avoid drawing the same ideas as much as possible.

Anyway, thanks as always for your support, especially those who've been here for a while or since the beginning. With so many months being skipped it's easy to forget how long this Patreon has been going now(I just wish I had more to show for it). I really am grateful that there are people who are patient and understanding enough to have not given up on me by now. I probably shouldn't make any promises, but I'll really try to do better this year(at least it shouldn't be too hard to do better than last year).
