Hey all!! Sorry I haven't been too active on Patreon this month, as I am trying to catch up on commissions currently.
But, July prints (Chobits) came in and they turned out great! I got them felt textured as you can see a bit better in slide 2. I am however still waiting on stickers, so I wont be able to ship sets out until later this month.

However, this actually got me thinking of changing my usual shipping schedule! TL;DR at bottom

The way I usually do my Patreon schedule is like so (for example):

1st week of July: Run August poll
2nd week of July: Work on August rewards, July rewards arrive, ship out July prints
3rd-4th week of July: Send August rewards to print, rest week.
(repeat)

So basically, I usually do all my Patreon work within the first 1-3 weeks of the month and give myself the last week as a break while I wait for rewards to arrive in the mail.
But after some thought I think I may change it to be more like so:

1st-3rd week of July: Run August poll, work on August rewards
4th week of July: Send August rewards to print, July rewards arrive, ship out July prints.
(repeat)

TL;DR:
IN SHORT, (and less confusing) I am planning on shipping out rewards at the end of the month rather than the beginning of the month.
The only drawback is you guys will be receiving your rewards a bit later.
So for example, Luchia is going to be our August print, which you will most like receive in September.

This will give me:

  • More time to work/perfect the quality of rewards
  • More time for patrons to change/alter their pledge if they wish
  • Is less confusing for me in the long run if people change their pledge in the middle of the month.
  • Spreads out my work so I don't get burnt out so easily! :-)

Hope this works for you guys! So rewards will now be arriving a month later, but you'll still be receiving monthly packages from me<3 (My notecards will most likely start saying "how'd you enjoy your July?" instead of "holy crap it's July!" lol.)

Hope you are all doing well! I've been a bit sad this month since I have some close friends who are moving away, so I've been going through that.
I will try to post the request stream schedule sometime next week.

Talk soon and thanks always for the support :-)
