Mid-June Update - 19/6/2020 (Patreon)

Okay guys, here comes a little update for you regarding everything that is currently happening, about to happen, why it is happening, and what might be happening.
So.... where to dig in, you might ask?

Let's start with what has been happening...

Okay, so the last week has turned into a bit of a chaotic mess which has essentially ripped the majority of my life away from the regular.

• We can start with the fact my phone may have passed away, and I have been frantically trying everything I can to try to recover it. In the end, I had made a day trip in order to have it looked at, but everything they could have tried, I had already done.
  The last ditch attempt is to try and flash-start my phone - I think that is the correct description.
  If this doesn't work, I will need a new phone. So... yay (I don't really want to get a new phone at this point in time).
• Second is a nasty reaction I got at work in part to accidentally donning a pair of latex gloves during a very busy evening last Friday, which resulted initially in some annoying itching, and then the standard burning skin sensation the next morning.
  I've since been to the doctor, and obtained a prescription for antihistamines, which have helped dull down the soreness of it all, though while the sensation has gone down, I still have it even as I type this.
  Yay~
• There are some other things that have happened, most of you already know what they are, I won't go into detail lest I make this post too long.
  In addition, two of my days off from the pizzeria have been swapped out for working at the pizzeria - quite honestly, this is both a hassle and a blessing.
  Hassle in that I already have been set behind in my stuff because of everything that is happening, and a blessing in that if I need a new phone, the extra money will help.

Personally, I think the universe has a strange sense of humour.

Now for what is currently happening (aka the situation with the usual stuff)

The wallpaper art is, what I would deem, late. I usually like to have it out for the 15th of a month, but you guys will have to wait a little longer.

The Pinup art usually comes later in the month, so technically, everything is fine there!

The next Tarri's Day comic strip is late, and due to the above events, will not be out this week, given it is already too late in the week (and with a comic for Tarri's Day Adventures out tomorrow).
The comic should be ready to go sometime today, so it should be ready for Monday for sure.

The June Art Elections have slipped into the shadows of the above events, although luckily two of the rounds have already taken place.
I will set up the third round today.
Unless either of the dreams I had last night come true, in which case either:

• I get caught in a nuclear blast but luckily survive thanks to a corrugated iron shed shielding me from the blast, despite being about 10-20 metres from said centre of the explosion.
• Upon escaping from some bad dudes, end up escaping through a magical door to a cozy summer beach world with the 12th Doctor and Clara Oswald, and two girls who were the ones initially in trouble, upon which on arrival we turn into anthropomorphic animals (as is the nature of this world).
  The Doctor wasn't able to make it as he was caught by the bad dudes.

The two girls that were in trouble in the second dream became chipmunks. :3
(I became a bunny lol).

Oh, and I cannot forget the commission price update. That has been left far too long.

What might be happening...

Okay, so as my situation continues to either be a drag or stagnate or something, I am going to do some stuff, and consider others, in order to actually break out of this rut.
Sooooooooooo...

What I am going to do:
I will be officially dialing back on Tarri's Day Adventures to two releases a month. Having more than one comic does take time, and while I would rather build it up as much as I can at a faster rate, I also need to consider reality.
While I say "officially" dialing it back, I may have occasions where there are extra releases, depending.

Tarri's Day will be set to a default three strips per month, unless an absence or delay of comics are inevitable (in which case I will make an announcement).

The reasoning is the same as the same old thing I've been churning out, more time for regular art in order to help build my profile, blah blah blah, you guys know the drill by now.

What I am considering doing:
I am considering ending posting my stream posters to regular galleries. Initially, I wanted this to be part of what might attract new patrons, but due to recent events, can actually cause problems depending on where it is posted.
The posters will continue to be posted here on Patreon, that is a given.
I will also keep them up on Twitter. But I may stop posting them on mainstream art sites, such as DA, FA, etc. I will also remove past posters from any place I will stop posting, provided certain requirements for the posters are met.

What I would like to try:
Just a small addition. I would like to also make little other things, such as little random comics / fan comics, etc, for example. Maybe tinker with stuff I would not otherwise have allowed enough time for.
Stuff like that. So that is also another big reason I feel I should cut back on comics... I mean, I do put time into that stuff and would like to put out a lot more spur-of-the-moment stuff... :3

Bit of a read, sorry about that... but I don't want to let you guys feel like I am off galavanting about and leaving you all in the dark and the dust... ^^;;
