Real Life Updates and Art Updates (Patreon)

So, it’s been one hell of a few days.

Long story short because I don’t feel comfortable going too deep into detail, I was scammed and hacked by a person on Discord posing as an admin. This has caused me to get my laptop completely scrubbed down, get a new checking account number, get a new credit and debit card and as a precaution, I had to change all my passwords. Thankfully I have all my files backed up and now with my laptop back, I had to move stuff around and add my favorites back. I’m still in the process of that as well.

While I was changing my passwords, I couldn’t access my Kofi because I couldn’t access the old email attached so I created a new Kofi account:

It’s not entirely up and running since I have to get a new PayPal (and a new email for it) as well link it.

It’s also safe to say that commissions are going to be closed until I get everything taken care of and finish up on projects that need to be completed before the end of this month.

Also please take note of this Discord scam in question: https://twitter.com/kristanni20x6/status/1781924858533642541

**For the Patreon exclusive art updates:Something that happened during this period was that I was going to do a small pic in celebration of Lab Week 2024. Lab Week, according to the American Society of Clinical Pathology is "an annual celebration of medical laboratory professionals and pathologists who play a vital role in health care and patient advocacy (including chemistry, urinalysis, microbiology and other blood and tissue testing)". Seeing that I am a Medical Laboratory Technician, this is a huge deal for me. Unfortunately, the incident happened smack dab in the middle of the week and my computer was being worked on. By the time I got it back, it was too late to do anything for it and I was too busy moving all my files (still not done with everything by the way) and it wasn't like I worked on the pic prior so ultimately it was axed.As for the other projects, I do have everything backed up so nothing is lost. For the rest of the month, I'm going to be working on pics 3/26/24 (Roadrunner) and 4/12/24 (Black and Taro cherry blossoms), tentatively to be completed by 4/30/24. I think I'm going to tackle the Roadrunner first as about half of the background is complete.I'm going to need to think about what I'm going to do for May and especially for June. May is going to be a bridge month because June is going to be a mini busy period due to it not only being the LGBT month and rainy month (for Japan) but I have a major pic that I must complete by 6/30/24 (more info will be given as the date approaches further. What I'm thinking about for May is a simple pic, possibly work on 4/2/24 (Susheep adoptables, maybe on livestream) and then work on the sketches later in May for June. This may change down the road but this is the basic outline of what I want to accomplish
