First weekly newsletter (and patreon schedule!) (Patreon)

Hiya everyone!

I'm starting a free weekly newsletter so that I can yap away and keep y'all up to date with what's going on on my end! I wanna be completely transparent with what's going on and when things are going on! Soooo....

Here's a weekly patreon schedule so that you know what I aim to do each week!

I want to treat the patreon and comms as work, and I'm going to try my best to adhere to a real schedule! I'll be listing out specific dates as to when I do things each month, so that nothing catches you by surprise!

For Cedar and Redwood rewards, look to the 15th of each month as your last day to submit a response to the thread prompt! (for current cedars and redwoods, I'm so sorry I'm late to posting it, look forward to that post finally coming this upcoming Monday! I'll give you all a week to respond to it! )

For Commission Openings look forward to the 5th of each month, then again on the 15th! The second opening is not a given, but I'm going to try to open twice each month!

I stream every other weekday now, as well! I hope this helps me get more done each month, before I was kind of winging it with no direction, and my (very not medicated) ADHD kinda...took over TTwTT)

so on that note...

I didn't mean for it to take me so long to get back into the groove of making art for the Patreon so far this year! I'm finally picking things up again, and I'm hoping to keep going! I kinda ended up in a depressive slump for a long while...I'm not usually very open about how I'm doing but for a bit there, it wasnnn't the best. Feeling so much better nowadays though! We still haven't moved quite yet, so that's kinda hovering over me...but it's gonna happen, I just know it! Just gotta keep pushing!

Also I'm sure you're wondering who this NEW puppey is?!

It's still me! I wanted a newer sona that felt like ME! I chose a poodle because I have curly hair, but I never really connected all that much to it. Soooo I'm a yeen now! I think it fits me SO well, and I hope you like her! (old poodle plum is still here, she's just taking a big fat nap)

Here's some concepts I did while I was figuring her design out!

How fun, right!? GAH!!!! I cant wait to draw more of her TTwTT)! I'm hoping to do a vtuber with her at some point, so that you can see me yap while i yap!

On an aside, here's some sketches I did for foliage concepts for happy trails. I get tired of doin the same kind of tree, rock, bush, etc. So I wanted to see what I could come up with that was a bit more impactful!

I started off with those two concepts on the left, and then got CRAZY with it! Very fun, and I think I'll be using what I learned here for more bgs!

Alrighty, this newsletter is closing out soon, just a few more little things to mention!

I'm planning on starting ADOPTS!! Aptly named adopt-a-camper, you can nab one of my premade designs SOON! I'm drafting up a few (five) and y'all will see them before anyone else if you're in the discord (where I'll be listing them for sale ahead of time).

aaand...YCHs are coming soon!! If you can't nab a comm from me, try a YCH! They'll be cheaper than regular commissions, and quicker for me to output!

When I start these, I'll be going FULL SPEED ahead on making them! I want to have more affordable options for folks who want character designs or commissions from me : )!

PHEW! Alright. That's it for this weeks newsletter! If you haven't seen it yet, check out the new Sable animation I did on the Patreon with the nifty lil button down there! (There's a much better quality version on the discord as well!)

New sable animation!

And with that, I'm out!- Plum
