     So, I want to start out by stating that I'm sorry the latest monthly drawings will be a bit late. The past week and a half I've been having something of a time off while I've been watching over my folk's place while they were away; but also at the same time, I have just wanted to take a break from art. The problem has been that a lot of work that I've been wanting to do has been pushed to the side, or has just been delayed, or I just can't seem to find the time to do it ever. This year I've been trying to (slowly) change a lot of things in my life for (hopefully) the better. And while the year hasn't been perfect in that regard (especially with a lot of things going on in the world) there are some more things I want to improve, like art and my own things. The year may be just over half over, but there's still quite a bit of time to help improve myself. Even if it's not perfect, just a change for the better overall in my life is what I'm aiming for.

     Starting this upcoming month, though a bit of a short notice, I'm wanting folks of the $5/10 tier to know that I won't be doing monthly sketches for a while. One month? Two? More? I'm not sure; but I want to start focusing more on my own things for a bit is why. Things like my comic, commissions, owed work and such. I enjoy drawing for those who support me; but I really want to take a bit to focus on my own projects and things that will help me earn money right now. [If you happen to not read this until next month and are of a tier that I draw for ($5/$10) and would then like me to refund the money, simply DM me.]

      One other thing I've been wanting to change, that sort of ties in to this, is the way I approach how I use this patreon. Originally it's been just a way to receive support with Monthly Sketches being a bonus for higher tiers; but beyond that, I haven't done much with it. Currently aside from Monthly Sketches: the fact that I usually try to upload here a few days in advance and the fact that I sometimes upload random, crude doodles.. there isn't much reason to be a patron if I'm being honest. Not that I don't appreciate everyone who's here or am trying to drive anyone away! But what I've been thinking is that: I want to try to bring in more patrons, but at the same time I want to give some sort of incentive. The thing about Monthly Sketches that I (thankfully?) never had to worry about is that there hasn't been a time where there were so many patrons in the higher tiers requesting art that I felt like I couldn't do it in a month (you know, aside from when I'm not being garbage in my drawing schedule.) But if it had gotten to a point with just too many higher tiers then I don't know how exactly I would've handled it. ^^; So what can I do though? What incentive can I give outside of sketches? I always upload full res everywhere, so that's a no-go which is what I feel a lot of artists do that I don't feel like I could do personally. I'm still thinking about it as I type this; but one thing I am going to start doing is having more alternative versions exclusive to patreon. (Like with the recent Maria pic having lactation alts only shown here.) I'm going to try to make more extra things exclusive to patreon, while still showing enough outside of patreon that it doesn't feel like I'm just trying to be greedy. Either way, I'm going to start trying to make patreon feel more worth it, more meaningful, more bang for your buck.

     On top of my usual comic/comm bi-weekly thing I've been trying to go for more recently (only to get interrupted.) I've been meaning to work on a rather perverted comic since the start of the year, and want to try at that in the coming months. I have a few art pieces I owe a few friends that I have promised as well that I need to draw. I do really want to progress my own comic, I want to get further into the story, I want to draw my own characters doing stuff; I have so much story to get through, and I want to keep going at it. Because it's going to take a long time to do so. ^^;

    So yeah, I want to make some changes, I want to put more stuff up here on patreon exclusively, I want to work on my own stuff, I want to have fun drawing again. It may not seem it immediately, but expect these sort of things in the future. <3

TL;DR: I'm going to be suspending Monthly Sketches for a bit to focus on my own things. Also, I plan to draw more of my own stuff and make things a bit more patreon exclusive so that folks here get more out of it. 

Hopefully this rambling all makes sense ^^;
