Plans for 2024
5 months ago
Check out the original journal on patreon: https://www.patreon.com/posts/95282877
Hey guys! it's been some time since a update!
I just wanted to update some ideas and things that will happen for next year.
I hope your 2023 has been well.
It has certainly been filled with great challenge for me.
I am looking to try and be more positive and keep doing artwork that I am motivated by for 2024.
The year of the dragon! π
Content to expect:
I will continue the monthly poll for patreon voted characters!
Keep in mind if you suggest a character, my plan is to also make them a print for my store over on etsy. So it may be complicated asking for OC's of other creators because some might not want me selling their character. But it is no big deal if I make them more of an event for something special. Just wanted to share what I usually do with the monthly characters! I have a list of options for the poll, and I do look at the ideas/suggestions over on my discord if people have a character they would like to see. You guys give me great ideas!
I will still continue the comic. Slow and Steady, but my goal for the end of next year is to finish this part! We are almost halfway to where I expect a finish for Chapter 2 is. I hope you enjoy how the story progresses.
I will be resetting the supporter page for January so that active supporters are displayed, but will stay there for the whole year. It was cumbersome to update it every month, taking a lot of energy. So I think it's best if I just add to it until the end of the year.

I have been dabbling with the idea of bringing back the Patreon exclusive sketches for supporters. But in a better way. I am thinking about doing a sort of Token System. I would basically pick 2-3 characters from the Oracle($20) Tier each month and make a simple full character Pic of your lovely OC's or whomever you'd like. I would treat these pics as warm-ups for my normal works. I think this would be a nice bonus for supporters so I can fill the time between projects to keep practice and keep me on the right track. If you reach 5 tokens I will prioritize your suggestion/character.
I would send out a Patreon post to that tier to collect your submissions each month (If you want to change, you would have to resubmit). I would also keep track of who has tokens via spreadsheet on my end. I have noticed some people change their names on Patreon, or have different names on discord and other places, so keep in mind I will record the name from Patreon.
If you do not submit to the form, you will not get a chance for this, but your token will still be applied. Tokens will reset If I select your character.
I would love to hear your guys thoughts.
I want to test more ideas for physical items.
Eventually I wouldf love to make a book collecting my journey of artworks that would be nice to flip through. I don't think it would be this year, but I have been investigating ways of how I would do it. For now I will make another Artpack for Gumroad for 2022 and 2023 since those years have not been put into a pack up there.
I want to also make another Standee as well as a Daki of one of my characters, which character would you be interested in the most?
I need to add a few more prints to the Etsy shop as well. So those will be added next month to keep updated. The convention has made it a little slow to put new stuff up there!
Etsy Shop
I have been keeping a streaming schedule pretty well for a few month now. it is nice to see a lot of you regularly. I may end up changing my streaming schedule around to test what times work best. If I can I would also like to try Twitch sometime too.

FAQ:
Will your commissions come back soon?
The last time I opened was in May I think. I took a bunch of work because of an emergancy that overloaded me while I was grieving so it was exhausting to work on. I will open again for bigger projects in the future, but I want to do smaller things to get me in good habits to draw with good vibes again... That's why I think a sort of token system will be nice because I can slowly get back into good habits to work for others. Currently I have only been taking smaller projects from people. My dm's are open if you are curious, but officially I always announce when I open to take more work. :)
Will you be attending more conventions in 2024?
If I can get a table or a way to sell my work, yes. if not, no. Unfortunately conventions need to step up when they tell their guests if they are accepted or not. Applications only open for a few days at most months before the date of the convention. I would have loved to go to a local convention, but I have missed deadlines for applications.
It is hard, but I will always announce when I am accepted and going to these types of events.
Have you been doing well?
Yes and no, it has been challenging managing life now. I am one person trying to fit my place in the world and everyone's support has made me feel like I should keep going. I am very grateful to all the kind people who have lifted me up and supported me through this year.
Can I hug Satomi?
Careful, she might bite you! (she loves hugs)
That's all I have for now, thanks for reading!
Happy Holidays and a Happy New Year!
