Happy April, everyone! (Patreon)

Hope you're all doing well!

We're entering a new fiscal year, so I'm hoping that the hiring freeze here will end soon, and that I'll still have a job to get to . ( ,: I'm doing things day-by-day now, just in case I hear back at random, but am still working my usual schedule.

Trying to stay focused and avoid burnout. The desire to just stay in bed is so strong lately. Doing my best to stay on track and keep chugging along. ANYWAY!

Now on with the usuals, starting with updates.

• Unpaid queued commissions will remain on hold for the time being. I fear committing to larger commissions only to find out I'm able to start my 40+ workweeks at my new job. I wouldn't want to anyone sitting on an unfinished paid commission for who knows how long. My new job will be contract work, which means it is temporary, but I still don't feel comfortable putting anyone in that position. Smaller things, like headshots and Pokémon designs, have quick and easy turnarounds (and don't cost an intimidating amount). I won't clear the queue, it'll remain intact, for whenever I'm in a position to resume working on larger commissions.

• There's only about six monthlies backlogged. I plan to finish the remainder this month so that there'll be no more backlog. I do appreciate everyone's patience and understanding - with monthlies, I end up having to draw about 24 unique pieces of art a month for my higher tier members, but I do try and stay on top of them as much as possible.

The poll for this month's adopt theme will go up shortly. Please vote! It's a huge help knowing what you guys are more interested in seeing.

And to all relevant tiers: you may DM me your monthly requests at your convenience.

Thank you guys all so much for your continued support. Wishing you all the best!
