Happy January, everyone! (Patreon)

And a very Happy New Year! I sincerely hope you all had wonderful holidays, however you celebrate (if you celebrate). What did you guys do? Anything fun or exciting happen? Mine was hectic, and of course your boy was sick most of it, but aside from a stomach ache when I woke up today I'm doing much better! Hopeful I can work the rest of the week as per usual. 

I'll continue to keep everyone posted on how I'm feeling. Fingers crossed I keep feeling well enough to draw! I hate not meeting deadlines, especially for you awesome Patrons. 

I'll be getting to the leftover December monthlies first, then move onto this month's monthlies. Aiming to be all squared up before the end of the month. Ideally, I'll be taking commissions come February too, so long as I stay on my planned schedule. And, of course, Patrons get first dibs! ^^

Time for this month's details.

• I'm not entirely sure if I'll be doing an adopt batch this month, just so I can focus on getting the queue cleared, but if I feel like I might be able to squeeze some designs out, I'll post a poll to let you guys vote on a theme. If I am making a batch this month, the poll will go up later, likely mid-month.
• I've been very bad about letting myself relax, so moving forward I'll be answering any and all DMs/comments during work hours and only for an hour or so after that. I'm going to try and better separate work time from off-work time.
• Additionally, to remind everyone, once I make this (usually) first of the month post, Patrons who are in tiers with art rewards can DM me at any time following with their requests. I honour monthlies, even if your request comes after the month turns over. It's okay if you miss getting your request to make within the month. I will still draw it for you, but it'll be queued, so it may not come as fast as monthlies requested within the month do. (Hopefully this wording makes sense, I've rewritten this a few times.)
• And one last thing! Sometimes Patreon isn't the best at notifying me - I think because it lumps notifications sometimes, which means it doesn't tell me there have been multiple different messages from different people - I encourage you to give me a poke if you haven't heard from me in a bit. I do try and manually check posts, but I'm also a patient dude, so I'll assume people are busy with life stuff cause I hate being a bother. xD Please, don't be afraid to drop a "Hey Dex!" 

With all that said, thank you so much for an amazing year - the support you guys give me helps me afford rent, which is a HUGE help for a full time artist like me. I can't really put to words how amazing it is to be able to survive off of what I consider a hobby. Wishing you all the best! 🎔
