Regarding COVID-19, and changes moving forward.

Firstly, lemme state officially that I'm okay and safe. We've got food, we've got internet (with our plans actually being frozen from the month onwards all the way through May it seems), and we're all doing our part to maintain social distancing means.

I still have my classes to now focus on remotely but we're all okay and making the most of what we got.

That all being said, this is gonna be a rather foreboding time for anyone and everyone here. This all being said, I will state this:

If you are unable to maintain your financial support to my Patreon, that's perfectly okay and understandable. I had this mainly set up as a sort of monthly tip jar that folks can offer anything to see my stuff in high quality and folks can just come to support me as much as they deemed fit or as much as they just wanted to see me succeed. But, I don't want my success to come at the cost of some valuable money you could use to help yourselves through preparing or going through this rising epidemic.

Additionally, I think from here out, I am also publicly posting my artwork back in full quality where I can from here out. I dunno if I, in this situation, should lock things behind a price to pay, no matter how seemingly cheap it may be. I just feel a bit uneasy now to repeatedly tag my art posts with "Hey, you want the full quality? Pay me some money to do so!" during this rough time. Always felt a bit excessive to me even before all this, always saving lower quality stuff just to do this.

This way, if anyone wants to do their part to support me, they can do this without feeling like they have to in order to see some clear, good quality content. It also ironically will be easier for me to maintain now that I don't have to work on planning for it. I'll see how it works out for the next while.

This means that now this Patreon will 100% be intended as a Monthly Tip Jar. I'm going to go and try to adjust my tiers (that sadly honestly have had rewards now able to be fulfilled that I feel bad for) so that there's just one 1$+ tier, the aforementioned Giggle tier, and make a public Suggestion Form to submit ideas for. It'll be present and active indefinitely for multiple submissions. I encourage everyone to adjust their Memberships accordingly if they intend to stick around.

For now, expect me to make posts more freely and have them be shared around much more easily and quickly as well. These other changes will take time, but I'm hoping they all go smoothly and this brings in a better future for everyone here.

Thanks for your continued support, and stay safe out there.
