Hey all!

I'll just jump right into things and say thank you to everyone who's stuck with me through this long and difficult hiatus. Your patience means the world to me and the continued financial support did a lot to keep me afloat and help me figure things out for myself.

While I would have liked to make something for everyone who contributed during that time, I think it would've done a disservice to those of you who stuck with me all the way til today. I also had to draw the line somewhere (haha) and this felt right to me. Supporting me so directly and consistently without any question about how soon I would get back into things gave me the space and time I needed to heal and made things that much easier for me.

Today is significant because I've decided to give my art one more chance. I've shifted my plans around to strike a healthier middle ground on all fronts, and if all goes well and I play my cards right, I feel I should succeed. Thanks to you who are still subscribed to my site, I'm able to pick up where I left off without having to start again from scratch.

Here's a little token of appreciation from me to all of you.

Important note: If you were an active patron before 6/3/2023 and aren't listed below, then it's because I couldn't find a usable ref of you! You should have an email in your inbox that you can reply to and send me the necessary info for your reward.

Starting off with my Tier 1 Patrons, we have HawkHD21, Feliks, Holobro, Johnny, Mel Bunny, ViviFox and WaveFox.

Here's the Tier 2 Patrons; Angel, Cooper, Dal, Erakir, Ink, Kaar, Kauko, Kazard, Mot, Plush, Sheepsalot, and Vulpine.

Next up is Tier 3, with BlazingPelt, BunnehWyld, LucaShoal and Lynxie.

Edit: After reconsideration, I checked my records and figured I'd make a few smaller gifts for the patrons who dropped out a little earlier. As it turns out, I had 5 people who were pledging at Tier 4 who discontinued all at around the same time in January. We've got Arvetis, Knoton, Nik, Pango and Sery.

And last but by no means least; my Tier 4 Patrons. Fiona, Garnet, James, Sigma, Soro, StarBuck, Suki, Tiff, Wolfie, Wolfram and Zephyrlot.

The past several months have been a very challenging but fruitful learning experience for me, and I believe this has been reflected in my work and the changes I've been making to this site. I'm always looking for ways to do a better job and fix what doesn't work, so here are the latest changes; hopefully for the better.

Commission Progress Posts

I've recently had to rely a little more heavily on commissions for my income, and this has unsurprisingly led to me spending less time on sponsored content for the site. Starting from my next batch of commissions, patrons at the Chocolate Malt Balls (€7) tier and up will now get to see progress work of commissioned art which has been approved by the commissioner.

Commissioners may opt out of this for any reason and at no extra cost so not everything will be included, but it will help fill the gaps in activity when I'm focusing more on my commissioned work. Unlike my sponsored art, finished commissions will be posted publicly as soon as they are done.

Content Tailoring

One thing I've sorely missed since discontinuing the direct art rewards on Patreon was the exciting challenge of making tailor-made content with specific people in mind. Since then, having to choose from such an endless list of possible kinks and themes has left me overwhelmed by choice and struggling to pick any one direction.

To this end, I've also added a new reward to the Devil's Food Cake (€25) tier, "Influencing the Site's Content," which replaces the old "Warmup Queue" perk. Patrons pledging at this tier can now provide their preferred kinks and themes to guide my brainstorming process. If you're one of these generous people, you'll find a new section added to your profile page where you can submit this information for me to reference for ideas.

This will allow me to work the collaborative part of the art rewards back into my creative process, and give high tier patrons some influence on what I produce. I will still be mostly self-directed in this regard, and I won't be including specific patrons' characters in the art resulting from these suggestions. However, this gives me a better idea of what people would like to see me make, and helps to focus my efforts a little bit.

I already have some ideas of how to put these suggestions to use as part of my workflow, so you should hear from me again real soon once I've experimented a little with that. In the meantime, head over to your profile page and let me know what you'd like to see more of.

Do let me know if you have any feedback or questions about these changes. I'm interested to hear from you!

Mark fell afoul (quite literally) of someone with a strong grasp of the occult and black magic, finding himself victim to a curse that turned a deep desire against himself!

This was a fun little experiment with colour. By skipping the blocking stage, I could focus a lot more on polishing the props and detailing, then used the shading to add some depth and mood to the setting.

Hi friends! Here's the penultimate rewards pack for your enjoyment. A lot of variety and fun stuff in this one, even if it consists mostly of my mainstays. There's some new and unusual stuff thrown in there too, though!

I hope you like them as much as I enjoyed making them.

Last month's rewards are done! Got a bit held up cause of the issues with work and whatnot, but here they are now.

The last reward pack contained a sketch involved in the creation of this piece, since I mistakenly put a lot of detail that ended up getting discarded.

This is two of Arvetis' characters from his stories. It was really interesting making the anatomy work properly without overlapping in the same space. Unfortunately I didn't have time left for adding colour, but I think the monochrome look adds to the feeling conveyed.

My trip to the UK proved to be far busier (and wrought with technical problems, go figure) than I'd expected, so sorry for the delay on this!

Hope you like them! Several are continuations or new sequences, so there's that to look forward to. :>

We're back to the monthly format again, at long last. May's will follow shortly, and we'll finally be all caught up again.

What a wild ride this has been.

Bigger batch of uploads today! With this, we're all caught up with the work I got done in the first quarter's massive marathon of art.

I've got another small bonus pack of art pending to share with you, which I'd never gotten around to uploading since I first made it last year. They'll be uploaded publicly one by one as I get my other galleries caught up, but you'll get to see the lot of them all at once when that's done.

The remaining rewards are still coming along really well. There's a fair ways to go yet, but I finally feel like I'm at the home stretch now. I hope you've been enjoying the content in the meantime!
