Updates on the apartment situation (Good news)

Like the header says, good news. I'm now writing this from the new apartment. I should get the rental agreement soon enough.

I'm estimating I can be stress free of having a place to live by friday if all goes all right. If so I'll try to stream some drawing and stuff at the weekend. Follow my twitter https://twitter.com/Metallikettu for a specific time. I'll announce it there.

Thanks for your g...

The facepalming vlog update

I promised to do a vlog type of thing couple days ago. Just did it live so it's hastly put together. Also it's been really hot in finland lately nearing 30c temperatures outside. (Hey at least it's sunny?)

Tldr. Around the 15th of this month if all goes right I can move to the flat I've been looking to rent.

Thanks!

Updates on the "homelessness"

I'll be doing video log to you soon. Since I can't setup my tools at the moment. I'll want to do something creative at least.

Also good news I was promised the apartment I wanted at least at july 15th I can move in. Until then I need to stay positive and try to manage. It's hard for me since I need alot of my own space. And I can't really relax anywhere that well. But when I'm feeling bad I think of all your support and it keeps me going.

Hopefully on 15th of july I...

Situation update (Urgent and important!)

Just letting you know, due to personal problems I don't want to get into just yet. I don't currently have a place to live. I needed to move my stuff to my friend's garage for time being. So technically I'm homeless right now. But I do have shelter food and a temporary place for my equipment and tools.

I needed to part ways with my relationship. I wasn't enough... not blaming the other person we both had our own problems simply put.

For now I don't kno...

Monthly updates and thank you's

I wanted to give you some more updates on things. As you've noticed it's been more quiet on the patreon shared folder. But there's been lot of work done in the background.

I've also dropped some of the commissions from the list since I've had so much stress about the real life things. I felt like I couldn't deliver as well as I wanted to. Been seeking for jobs but, yeah. You know how hard it is to land a job right now no matter where you live.

So every cent I've got...

Status of commissions:

1tiamat1's comic: 11/15 pages done

This has been a hard one. As you've seen my track record with comics has been not that good. Though I've now learned that I need to do each panel separately and then composite the page or I feel too restricted. Comics have been always the hardest format for me to do. Though now I've learned what was the reason that slowed me down so much.

(And naturally the pages added to the comic pro...

Let me talk about the details a bit more. The workflow itself I'll make public for everyone when done... Using various tools and macros I'm making photoshop do things it wasn't really desig...

Updates

As you've noticed it's been a bit more quiet for a while. The reason is that I'm currently finishing a long overdue comic commission for a client, I'm currently on page 9 of 11 so close to finishing it. I'm also happy to announce that I will finally start building the trailer/test for the animation idea I have. This will start after I've finished the current commissions and things I've promised to do. I'm not going to lie it will be a big job, so the quality will vary alot... but that's natural...

I want to thank you in the stream so join in if you can

I need an opinion from you

I was thinking of including "alternative/alternative hard" folder to the patreon share. Though firstly I need your opinion if you'd like to see such content in there. It's not my thing but that doesn't mean I don't respect fetishes and stuff I don't "like". Current project I'm working on has alternative themes in it. Of course all of the content will be put in the respective folder so you can access it if you're interested. I have no way of limiting the syncing of the folder at user level. Le...

Updates on year 2015

It has been a bit rough start, I've had a bit of family fights and woes. I got my car repaired up a bit thanks to you timing belt and thermostat needed replacing so I got the parts and installed them myself. I can't thank you all enough for the support. And as always feel free to skip months if you feel like you haven't received content you like. Currently I need to focus on normal images but I have couple animation loop ideas to try at least. (Naughty and nice) I'm expecting smooth sailing f...

Thanks for the year 2014

December nears it's end

Just wanted to give you an update, it's been a honor to be supported by you all. So all my heart goes out to you as year 2014 nears it's end. Even if you're giving just a little do know it means alot to me you're basically helping me live my dream as a independent illustrator while I'm desperately trying to find a job. Still I'm going to stick to the no drm aspect no watermarks nothing. Art is supposed to be shared and seen. Here's a BTSYNC link that will expire in 10 days wich has unlimited ...

Thanks for a great November

End of november draws near, I'd like to thank you for the continued support! As you've probably seen there has been couple changes in commission policies etc. Now I can give everyone more time and focus per image. And as always as supporters you will see the wips and stuff early on. If you have any problems with either the BTSYNC or the direct folder access let me know. Here's a new link valid for 40 days if the old one is still working you don't have to change it AFAIK 2014-11-30 16:48:11 +0000 UTC View Post

Best is yet to come

Thanks for being awesome everyone.

Updates

Hello everyone, as you've noticed things have been a bit more quiet. Still been sorting out my life financially and also things have been a bit hectic at home. But don't worry things will get better. I'm just here to make double sure that don't feel bad if you need to skip a month's payment if I haven't posted enough (or a good enough pic you've liked) I only want your hard earned money and support if you feel like you've gotten something back in return. Anyhow, new pics on the way now! Thank...

Under the weather

Been recovering from a tough flu, I'll be back soon though. If you're wondering what's up first place you should head to is my twitter at https://twitter.com/Metallikettu

Metalfox (@Metallikettu) | Twitter

As you've probably noticed I'm not completely gone. Just taking a small breather while I fix up personal stuff. I should get stuff sorted out in at least 2 weeks. Patreon folder will get sporadic updates there and there. Just a FYI Main updates here https://twitter.com/Metallikettu

Update for october

Winter draws near, and now I've run out of union payments. I need to go out and fill forms and get a lower pay from the government. Job situation is still bad. Your support is invaluable, but not mandatory. If you have financial problems of your own I will understand if you can't support me anymore. Do you feel that you're getting your two cups of coffee (at least in finnish prices) of content per month? Comment up :) Also is there any themes or pics you'd like to see?

Storyboard for the trailer is being made, also first rough frames are already been done. Some of you have seen those personally ;) It'll probably be while before the trailer drops but in the meanwhile enjoy the folder access.

Easy you say?

Would you like to receive a notification when new sketch is added? Also wouldn't it be cool to browse stuff locally? High resolution by default! Well now it's possible. https://link.getsync.com/?f=Patreon&sz=58E6&s=MZCF336NIPSROAAVV2H4GZB6ADS4PGOD&i=COMB2YJSZ6X6O62SE...
