Woo! Welcome everyone and Happy Fall! :D

There's a lot I have to discuss this time around so I'm going to get right into it!

I've got new perks for November!

New Perks?! Yes! New Perks! I had some issues with older perks and also commission work that made the comic take a back seat every. single. month. this year. And it made patrons like you not get what you're here for! I want more than anything to draw these two goobers and flesh out their world, and because of that I've had to make a hard decision to get rid of true "rewards" for patrons, like the Cedar and Redwood sketches. But...I've got some REALLY exciting rewards in store to replace them! Let's start with the first one:

The PUNCH CARD!!!

The punch card is a new perk for folks in the Oak and up tiers (that means you, Cedar and Redwood, too!) Every 4 commissions, you get a discount, as long as you are subscribed to the Patreon! You can even choose to save your last 40% off reward (max $50 off) for another commission (but you can't accrue more punches until you use it, so be wise with where you use it!) I wanted to try to give people something to look forward to with comms, especially since I'm pretty dead set on doing nothing but Skeb commissions for the next few months until I get the ball rolling. But who knows! When I open regular comms up again, these discounts would be great to use then!

Also, Oak and up Patrons get to hear first thing about commission openings as well!

Now for the next thing:

Polls are BACK!

Polls are back! And they're a little different this time around because...

Patron participation is included!

Woah woah wait what do I mean!? Well, Every month I post the first TWO ideas for the poll for the month. But the other two options...welll...

That's up to Cedars and Redwoods to determine!

Oaks get to vote as well! (as well as Cedars and Redwoods) But basically, I'll be opening up a thread each month on the Patreon Discord with the first two poll ideas I have in mind. Then, it's up to Cedars and Redwoods to pitch in their own ideas, while Oaks and up vote on what options they like! The options that get the first and second most liked picks get added to the four option poll the next week, where voting starts! Then...I draw the idea for the month! This idea not only gets an illustration but also a mini sketch comic that adds some context to it! So if there's a character of mine you want to see more of that I don't draw often, now's your time to pitch the idea to me!

You can go ahead and submit an idea here:

What's more....

Weekly Asks and Sketches!

Asks are back, and they're Patreon exclusive! Every week, I'll be opening a thread on the Patreon Discord looking for asks from Oaks and up! I'll pick one or two to sketch, and a few more to answer with text! Again, if you like a character and want to see more of them, now's the time to pitch an idea! If I like an idea an awful lot...well...I might just save it and finish it up as an extra illustration for the month! Every Weekly ask sketch gets posted on every Saturday!

That's about it for all the new stuff. If you need an overview of it, I'll be posting a breakdown soon that will serve as a guide for how to use the Patreon and the Discord to get the most out of your rewards!

You can go ahead and post an ask here:

Alright now onto WIPs!

There are not that many WIPs this month. To be real with you, I had barely any time at all for personal work this month. Buuut that was so that my whole queue was cleared out, and now it is! I have my skeb comms to do still, but those are very quick work for me, and I'm allocating two days a week to them so that the rest of it is all for the Patreon and the Comic! Regardless, have some Maple expression explorations

It's so hard to figure out muzzle stuff . But I think I got it down! I'm working on Syrup and the rest of the crew now, so you'll be seeing that and the pitch bible I'm also working on hopefully soon (if anything, the pitch bible is a christmas gift) And here's the dog herself:

Small. Round. Cute. Cheeky! I think this is her at peak performance.

Oh and this i did too! (NSFW below!)

She's quite cheeky aint she? Don't torture this poor boy. (Maybe I'll post this one on its own!)

Oh, and those skebs I did, I'm going to post them all in another post here in about a day or so! I did a total of around 20 or so I believe? That and I wrapped up a looot of art I owed folks.

November is basically the first clean slate month I've had in a while! So I'll be hard at work on the Comic all through the month, and with those sketch posts I'll be posting some WIPs for the comic too (so you should tune into those even if your idea doesn't get picked!)

So...how do you all like the website? So far, every page of Night of the Lust Moon has been posted in full there. I urge you to go check it out if you want to see how things read over there!Soon, I'll be posting pages for the new comic (I'm hoping that by mid-late month I'll have several to post there and here!)

Alrighty so...

that's...

That's it! I think!

I don't really have much else to say here! Thanks for reading, and until next time!

For now, Plum, out!
