A Quick General Update (Patreon)

Hello! Lots of things have happened recently and I should probably be transparent things.

• I was quiet in July because I was working on the Galacon opening ceremony animation. I'll be posting that Soon(tm). Now that all my cons are out of the way, I should be back to regular comic work in earnest now.
• The May postcard is late because I planned to send them from Galacon to avail of cheaper postage from Germany, but due to an error (I didn't check the measurement requirements because surely a 12.5cm tall postcard counts for the letter rate and isn't 0.5cm over, right?) it turned out it was going to cost a lot more so they are now on their way back to Ireland. I apologise for this big goof and the August postcard should have no such delays.
• Also due to the animation (wow Galacon really mixed my shit) I didn't do any sketch streams in July. Well the next one is tomorrow! And due to the piled up backlog I'm hoping to do a few catchup streams too - preferably shorter ones so I don't burn out.
• I apologise to anyone at the $5+ tiers whose names I left out of the recent thank post video - that was an error on my part updating the name list where I added new patrons, but not patrons who had increased their pledges since December.
• New Patrons: Thanks so much all the new people who signed up in the last month - and in general in the last three months or so!
• For patrons at the $12+ tiers, you can find the form to input sketch requests pinned in the Discord #illuminati channel. Sketches are on a FIFO endless queue basis - I generally do the oldest requests first, and if you put one in before your old one is done, it updates it while preserving your spot in the queue. If you want to get in line but don't have an idea, you can put in placeholders and I will contact you when you're up. The reason it is this way is because there's now just too many of you for me to do everyone's in one month.
• For patrons at the $25+ tiers, get in touch for the cameo pool form. This is generally on an as-needed basis rather than cycling regularly. At some point I kinda need to refresh this and reset the references everyone's put in because I've been using the same document since 2014, but for now, just poke me.
• For new patrons at the $50 tier, I will be in touch about sending you some goodies. The last new merch drop was in April so if you joined since then, you just missed out BUT I am willing to send you on the stuff from that. Other than that, it's kind of a waiting game for new stuff to get made, and with no cons on the horizon my priorities are currently on the regular work rather than new merch, so the next thing is probably board game expansions. But hey, once I get settled maybe I'll finally get on that collected edition of Firestarter Spitfire.

This ended up a lot less quick than I expected I'm going back to bed
