Update: What's been going on (Good + Bad) (Patreon)

Sorry that this update is coming to you all half way through the month. There's been so much going on at once that's it's been hard to keep up with all that's need to be done, while feeling extremely exhausted and overwhelming not mentally well. My apologies once again this is coming to you all so late. I hope to put this information up on my FA as well.



---Good news---

Cintiq 13HD -Thanks to the help of people on FA, who commissioned customs. My work station has been upgraded slightly.  (The newest addition being the Cintiq 13HD) This is great news, since its far easier and more natural for me to sketch on the cintiq than my intous 4. Which is great for doodles and Cell-Shades at a faster rate and less hassle.

Moving - I'll be moving out of my current Apartment complex this February. Temporarily moving in with my Mother and younger sister at their new house. This is a BIGGY,  i will no longer have to pay $1000+ in rent each month. FAR LESS commissions/workload taken each month as well. Long story short: Without having to pay for too much besides food and a few utilities that i'll be paying myself. I'll have far more time to focus on patreon content and get my workload in check. (However, the condition of my mother's house is not exactly safe or 'finished'. So what money i do make in-between work and commissions will be going towards improving her house. So when I move out come this summer to find my own place, I can at least rest easy knowing my mother is living in slightly better conditions, more secured, safe and my backlog is 100% done.)


---Bad News---

Moving back to "Detroit" - Not everyone knows where I originally came from. But I was born and raised in Detroit. Mind you, not in the best areas growing up. (This is more so a personal problem.) And believe me, never had the best experiences with my hometown. Robbed, held at gun point and even shot at. (Trust me. tho the place isn't 100% bad. But If it wasn't for my mother's sake, i wouldn't even remotely consider moving back to the city area.) However, i know the best thing for me to do, tho it won't be comfortable for a while. Is to help and support my mother and younger sister, while getting my own list/work sorted out and lowered.

Rewards pushed back - What this means, is my schedule has been moved around drastically. Right now, i'm trying to get funds sorted out and chug through as much as I can of my current work load. Doing cell-shade and sketch streams to cover the costs. So this move happens seamlessly with little to no bumps at all and I can get straight to work when I arrive. I'm currently paying off the remainder of my current rent, bills and sending what i can to my mother to get her house fixed/secured for the move. So rewards for December and January will be pushed back until the last week of January.

------------------------

Personal bits: Let me tell ya honestly.. I feel super uncomfortable about the move.

Considering, I've moved into this new area. (Garden City, lovely name right?) to get AWAY from Detroit, the crime, the issues and super negative people. But it would be the 'best' option as far as work is concerned and 'work' stability. (The backlog that needs to be taken care of) And what money I do pay, rent wise. Will be going to someone who actually needs all the help she can get. (Mother)

So i'm trying my best on my end. Tho it doesn't make things better now that I've been feeling super tired and sick lately. Only staying awake for a good 3-4 hours then resting for 10-12 hours. I don't feel terrible, i just feel always exhausted.

I'm doing what I can and will try to get something your way guys to make up for the delays again. So my apologies for patrons who are still waiting on both content and rewards for December and January.
