IMPORTANT! Compensations, Reward & Commission Update (Patreon)

Hello, friends!

I came back from being abroad for a week, and then unfortunately got the flu and was out of commission for yet another week.

Obviously after all this time, I'm furious at how many things keep getting in the way, because I absolutely hate making people wait. I want everyone to get what they paid for. But I've also been in a pit of despair over just how much has built up beyond my power, because it now feels near impossible to catch up. I'm stressed out of my mind every day, and even now that I'm finally getting back on my feet it's become so much that I don't know when I can get back to my usual schedule.

So, two things.

I'm still recovering, but once I'm well I'm going to start drafting out every commission I owe that is not already in a WIP state. After that, I'm finishing up the remaining September rewards.

Secondly, I've had to make a tough decision. After September rewards I was going to continue with October and onward, working my way through the backlog. This is what I owe, but my health hasn't handled it well. I know a lot of you don't mind the wait, but having this much work looming over me has been really agonizing.

So I've made the decision that once I've finished September rewards, I'll start the next batch immediately from December, skipping the backlog to get back on track. As this would have made you all pay for nothing during the missing months, I'll be offering compensation to those who want it. This compensation can be ONE of whichever of these options you prefer:

Full refund for the 2 skipped months. As all Patreon money from that time went to bills and rent, it will be a slow process done throughout 2026, but I would honour it all the same.

50% commission discount code. Doesn't expire unless used. Can only be used when commissions are open, but you will have a priority slot once they do.

Bypass character poll. You get to choose which character wins for your desired pinup slot, without any voting. Depending on how many others also chooses this option it may not be this month, but you will still have one guaranteed pick. (Still needs to adhere to the poll rules of course)

Please DM me here on Patreon to set up which option would work best for you, if any. You can of course choose no compensation if you're not too fussed. Or if you guys have some other way you'd rather be compensated, please let me know and I'll consider it as long as it is within my means.

NOTE: If you pledged in December, you are not elligible for compensation.

Sorry to drag this on, but for the sake of refund transparency: I bought a new PC a while back as I needed an upgrade. But this was not money earned through Patreon nor do I have that kind of money readily available. I sold two old gold watches and a lot of my old games and anime merch to fund it, and I will be trying to sell more to cover any potential refunds.

That should be everything. Let me know if you have any questions. I'm so, so sorry I couldn't push through the pile and I'm beyond thankful for each and every one of you for being patient with me and still supporting me despite owing you more than I can give. I'm going to look ahead and try to create the best possible stuff for you from now on
