[News] Work Overload (Patreon)

Hello, Nippies! Hope all is well! This will be long so strap in 🥲

The last week or two has been quite chaotic as I suffered a shoulder injury and was dealing with some deadlines at the same time so it took me a bit longer than I wanted to put this together since it hurts to type for too long. Thankfully, I'm feeling much better after some rest and medicine! 🥳

I've always been quite an ambitious person and wanted to do so many cool things at once. However, my delusions lead me to believe I can handle way more than I can and I end up in my current situation where I can't keep up with everything on my plate especially since I spread myself too thin as far as outlets go (YouTube, ASMR, TikTok, Twitch, Etc.). As much as I'd like to do it, it's just unrealistic and unsustainable. Feeble mortal body 🤠

🔶 TO-DO

Here is my current backlog! (Things with ??? mean I'm not sure I'll even do them.)

x5 VGen commissions (Urgent)

x3 Thirsty Thursdays (Mar, Apr, May)

x1 May NSFW Sketch

OFFcell - EP 4 & 5 (???)

x4 SFW Sketch Requests (Feb, Mar, Apr, May)

x1 Subgoal Illustration

App Project Work (Urgent)

~x2 Video Edits (Semi-urgent but also ???)

Sub Sketch Request Streams (???)

x1 DnD Illustration Commission (August)

x1 (+1?) Sponsored Riot Riftbound Event (June)

x1 Gift Illustration (Semi-urgent)

I have a problem 😇

🔶 WHAT NOW?

I've come to the conclusion that I need to cut down on the amount of work coming in and finish what's in front of me as best I can. That means:

I won't be streaming regularly for a bit until I knock most of these out since, as much as I love streaming, it's waaaay too distracting 😭 Backlogged streaming events (Thirsty Thursdays & maybe sub sketch requests) will be pushed back a bit for now (est. MAYBE July).

Thirsty Thursday requests are going on hold until I can finish the ones above. So, starting June, they won't be polled for anymore! Really hoping they'll come back sooner than later but we'll see how quickly I can work 🥲

Monthly SFW & NSFW will still be available! I don't want to remove these as I love doing them for you guys and they're a relatively stress-free thing to tack on my current workload!

Even though I JUST started up YouTube again, I'll have to make the adult decision to stop and reevaluate how much actual time I have on my hands since I edit all my videos myself. WHY IS THERE NOT INFINITE TIME.

After that, I need to pick a few things to focus on which, right now, is sure to be you guys here on Patreon, my store and the app I'm working on (which I haven't talked much about since I'm worried I'll jinx it like every other thing I say I'll do)! Aside from my lovely family who has helped me with my store immensely, I'm a one man army and it's been really hard to keep up with the non-art side of things and then have to draw on top of that. I'm exhausted but pushing through because I love what I do and I'm so grateful you guys allow me to do it! 🥹

I wanna thank you all so immensely for the support you give me here and literally everywhere I'm on. I hope I can keep creating things you enjoy!!!!! 😭🖤
