Reaching 200 Big Thank You! (Patreon)

Yet another milestone achieved! I can't believe there's 200 of you now, it didn't seem like it's even been that long since we hit 100 when I sent out postcards to everyone back in my first few months in Taiwan earlier this year. I was super excited that I almost fell out of my chair like an excited teenager who just won triple rolls for an epic space traveling passenger mount AND two legendary warglaives.

That feels like yesterday when I was browsing through manufacturers to organize a mass postcard event. Sorry if it sounds like a nonsensical ramblings and I know compared to bigger patreon artists 200 is nothing but to me it's huge =.=;; 

Thinking back on it, it really was just a random whim you know. I still think back to before starting Patreon how it seemed like it was far too late for me to start one compared to other artists before me. I had a lot of doubts back then, though with more of you showing me support for what I do, that doubt has grown exponentially smaller over time. It's not an explosive growth I must admit, but a steady climb and to be honest I prefer it this way so I can take time to get to know each and every one of you at my own pace. 

I know some of you aren't as vocal nor do you say much on Discord and that's fine too but if you ever wanted to catch up on a lost conversation with me then feel free to bug me anytime. I'm sure I'll be drawing something very lewd and questionable or organizing collabs among many other things but I want to try and make time to socialize as much as I can. 

Speaking of which, yes I do feel that time has been becoming scarce as of late. As I get busier I'm coming to understand how difficult it is for some artists to be as social or hold as much conversations if any with their communities. I won't name any but I do wonder if I'll one day I'll end up just as unsociable with the passage of time as I grow more and more busy where every second counts. 

That's one thing I'm most afraid of becoming accustomed to, yet noticing lately, especially when I compare myself to when I started my Patreon journey with 20 people or less. It's something I do take notice and it's something I want to fix. Maybe I'm naive but I'd like to stay being as approachable as I was a year ago even though that is becoming increasingly difficult. ^^;; 

Maybe with more fame I might seem more distant and unapproachable. But if possible, I'd like to stay the way I am, just another geeky friend you met online either through gaming or anime communities because at the end of the day...that's more or less who I am haha. 

Mmm just think of me as an online friend who happens to draw nsfw stuff ( that strokes the innermost desires and passionate imaginations of the lewd kind when appreciating my art, prompting some people to use it for healthy recreational purposes that shall not be named for educational purposes. ) 

But wow, 203, that's just 97 people away from the army that fought a great invasion at the Battle of Thermopylae, which also happens to be one of my favorite movies.

Mmm those delicious abs...so dreamy. 

Initially I did plan on preparing another set of postcards for everyone new and old as well as those of you who missed out on the 100 but due to the seemingly never ending COVID-19 problems that's being faced worldwide, I think we'll move it to when we reach the same number of patrons as King Leonidas' army of beautiful abs. Hopefully by then we'll have anime goods manufacturers back to working at 100% efficiency and Postman worldwide will be back to work. If there's one thing I realized with the last postcard send outs, lot of people have exclaimed that it took almost forever to receive them due to Covid-19 also affecting delivery routes. I dare say some were even lost during transit... Hopefully by the time we reach 300, we'll be out of the woods from the pandemic and world will be back to working order. ( even though the analysts on news state it's never going to return back to how things were before the pandemic. ) 

Speaking of Covid, I know I say it pretty much religiously now a days but please be safe and take good care of your loved ones around you!  That should always be your number one priority. ( No matter how tempting my artworks are ). I'm currently going through quarantine measures myself at a hotel. For those of you who don't follow me on Discord, I finally left Taiwan and I'm currently in quarantine at FoxyPlanet where wild Tamamo girls roam wildly. 

But yes, thank you again my dear friends. I'll be sure to continue creating the highly exciting and spicy artwork you've all come to enjoy from me. Please be safe and look forward to my next update coming... tomorrow I think? ^^
