Life Update

Hey everyone, it's been a long time since I posted anything here on Patreon. Life got the better of me.

I haven't really been posting anywhere. I haven't been drawing. I haven't been writing. I've just been depressed. 

I've been depressed from missing my partner due to the pandemic for the last four years. I've been dep...

General update: Where has Suzi been?

Hello Patrons,

I apologize for long radio silence.. not that that means much right now. It seems I've done a lot of apologizing for my absences.

Where have I been? The honest truth is I just.. haven't been doing much of anything, and it's because I've been stressed and depressed, more-so the latter than the former.

If you follo...

Metapha Maps: Topographic/Biomes

Hey ya’ll, my apologies for the radio silence, I’ve been deep deep in the zone for world building.

After I completed the sorta ‘scenic’ map of the island, I started thinking about how to make a map that properly shows the island’s imagined landscape. Inspired from my time playing Breath of the Wild, a topographic map made the mos...

Tales of Metapha pages resume Monday, August 17th

That's pretty much it right there. See you Monday!

January Goals

Howdy patrons!

I'll keep this short. My apologies for the long silence, I spent a lot of time focusing on self-care.

Metapha

Story posts are going to be resuming on Sunday the 5th. 

Credits for support are going to be inserted into the post story text as an image, starting on the 5th.

New Goal

I have set myself a new goal for my Patreon.

It's taken me a long time to figure out how I want to do things, and I am still learning - but I think I have gotten through all my.. bad ideas. The ones that are either just bad, or they're just a little out of reach for me to comfortably keep up with.

I want to get my story project h...

Commission Crunch Time

Hey everybody.

Everyone here is probably pretty familiar with my 'Crunch weeks' on twitter.

Well, it's kinda that time again but I am starting to approach it a little differently, allowing myself a lot more breathing room in the process.

Okay so here's what's going on.

I am going to be approaching my 'crunch' weeks as my ...

Format Changes and how they will effect Rewards

Following my previous post—with the format change that is coming to Tales of Metapha - so will the rewards be changed. Because there won’t be full ‘pages’ and will instead be post by post, the ‘supported by’ credits are going to be slightly changed. Supported by credits will still be listed but will be listed with each week’s final...

The Tales are changing once again.. But for the last time.

Wow that’s cryptic huh? What does that mean. Well down everyone I have a lot to tell you.

Now, some of you might roll your eyes at what I am about to say but all of this is true, so bear with me.

For the last 4 years I’ve been living in a depression “mire.” I let my depression get the better of me and I wasn’t able to recov...

News Update 8-10-2019

Hello everyone! I have some big news for a couple of things coming up.

The first is, because of the monochromatic shift for the comic, I am going to try my best to just put it out weekly rather than this slow roll I’ve got going on.

The main reason to this is because.. well I have gotten a shit ton of inspiration from.. myself?

Quick Stream Announcement!!

I'm making some changes with my stream now that I have learned how to sparkle it up a bit.

Starting today, during my streams, if you are a patron you name will appear on stream as part of a 'Supporters' slideshow list.

Your name will appear as it does on Patreon (unless you tell me otherwise).

Your name will also appear with yo...

Introducing the Lorekeeper Tier

Introducing the Lorekeeper Tier!

As I mentioned earlier this week, a new reward tier is going live, right now!

The Lorekeeper tier is going to be quite an experiment; both for me and any supporter who decides to join me in this experience.

I love D&D, and I want to make a little bit more of a wave for myself in the VTT comm...

Weekly Update (5/27/2019)

Hello everyone, sorry for my lack of updates. I’m getting some help to keep myself on a strict (but fairly reasonable) work schedule.

As some of you may know, I have recently been doing most of my work on my iPad to better get the hang of drawing on there. So far it’s been going pretty alright, although slow.

So what’s New?

Quickie Update

Heya Patrons, sorry for the late update on this - my little time away vacation kind of got unexpectedly extended. And I'm thankful. The time was very much needed.

So I only just got back home at about 2:32 in the morning. I've been taking most of today to just rest from the long drive. I have some comic projects I am going to be working on...

Goals Updated - Growth Plan

To start off Patrons this is an update and a clarification on some updates I made on social yesterday.

First, I while I was accepted to the Coffee Cats zine project I am choosing to step down and not participate. I am not doing this because someone else has tried to make me quit - I had purely made this decision on my own after contemplati...

New Things Coming

We're gonna just cut to the chase everyone:

This month I am going to be bringing a lot of big revisions to my Patreon, some of these are things I talked about back in .. October .. I think.

First, the tiers are getting a major overhaul. Some new tiers will be coming; none will be going but some of the rewards will be changing. They'r...

Upcoming Changes

Heya Patrons!

I have some changes in the works that will be coming midway thru October. I know. More changes, I keep changing things up every few months.

I want to try and get myself on a manageable schedule again with the Comic as well as other exclusive Patreon pieces.

The main changes are as follows: The higher tiers are being don...

BLFC Next Week / Upcoming Changes

Howdy howdy Patrons!

BLFC weekend is coming up next week, and with that one of my biggest challenges I've ever faced; vending at convention!

I've spent the last month mostly dreading this, but as the event is rounding the corner I've been finding myself more and more excited. I'm pumped for this, both because I'm ready to just get into the ...

Quickie Update

Hey there Patrons just a quick little message before the weekend; With a convention happening this weekend (Midwest Furfest) and my internet still being down until tomorrow afternoon, which by then I'll already be traveling; the November doodles post will be posted once I return. Thank you all for your patience 💋🌱 I wish you all a fantastic...

Progress Update

Now for a follow-up post. Most sincerest apologies to everyone waiting on the September Patron's Choice, and personalized rewards.

The workload is still a bit heavy, however I'm pretty confident that I'll be all caught up at the end of this month. 

I will get you all taken care of by then.

Now if you'll excuse me, I have an all-n...

Chibi Reward - Zekaire

Colored Chibi sketch for Zekaire. Thank you so much for your support~

Metapha Comic & the doodle dumps

The title for this announcement post probably says more about the plan  than I really need to say. But hey I'll still lay it all out.

I'm finally at that comfortable stage I think with how I want the comic to look, so now I'm ready to start. In order for me to really dive into this side project, something else kind of has to go. This means t...

New Rewards!

Hey Patrons and everyone else as well! 

The new rewards are now live, additionally the Good Bean & Sprout tiers have new reward images because the others looked kinda b l e h 😖

I would like to advise & remind people however, that because of the charge-up front payment method on patreon, and with me still pecking away at my c...

New Rewards Coming!

Howdy Patrons, and anyone else checking this out publically.

New Rewards are coming this week. With how my workload is looking at the moment, we're looking at a Saturday or Sunday update for these.

I still need to make a graphic for each but I finally figured out what I want to add and I think they'll be pretty good offers.

✨ Gold B...

Delays, delays, delays

Howdy Patrons, just a little update on some things.

The first that I am pretty bummed to mention is that the Welcome to Metapha posts aren't going to be a thing just yet. Not this month anyway.

Unfortunately I'm pretty full up on off-site (non patreon) commissions that  call for my attention first. But that doesn't mean I'm not working...

June 2017 Updates & Projects

Heya there patrons~

June is here, which means there will be some new features coming partway through the month.

The first being will be the patron-only polls, where supporters like yourselves will be able to influence the direction some of side projects go. Some will be one offs, the others will be month-to-month themes.

Additionally,...

'Just the Tip Jar'

Hello everyone!

I needed to make this update for my current patrons. For the time being this page will act as a 'tip jar' while I work on my project backlog.

Until I am able to fully relaunch and add more lucrative rewards, I have to he realistic with myself and do what I am able.

There will be Work-In-Progress posts for the...
