News and Updates - Feb 2020

- Fair start this month  -  Made Rent on Patreon, and I was approached by a couple of people to do fairly big "Rush" commissions. So the good news is, we actually made it through the first half of the month without a sale, though I will be running one to get through the second half. Currently holding at 120 pledgers,  $938 (thanks to a new high tier pledge).

- Car accident and unrelated lawsuit
At the end of last month, I bumped another car at a green light (no injuries, my licence plate was bent and their bumper took some cosmetic damage, which I had to then pay for since it was my fault.)

Not a day after I paid that huge expense, I got a summons for a court date because I'm being sued for the student loans I can't pay off (please, do not submit advise on debt consolidation, getting a lawyer, loan forgiveness/deferment, etc. I will be handling it).
Just letting you all know what's been going on.

- More new health issues
New pain in my neck (non joint/muscle/throat) has me concerned, and my doctor is going to be scheduling an ultrasound to make sure it's nothing serious. Of course I'm worried, but I can't really help it.

- Lina's Business Updates
Lina is implementing her new business strategy to see if it can come up to where it meets our base income needs. If not, she may still be forced to get a regular job, as my Patreon income and commissions are not enough to cover our living expenses on their own. Hopefully things go better after this month. 

Thank you! Because you keep the lights on and food on the table every month. 

- Special Thanks to  Despia, Melody, Justin, Moose, Paul, and Stefanie for your Platinum and higher pledges. You guys are currently about 40% of the support we have for the month. Thanks to you and all my patrons for your love and support. ♥️ 

-We Need Your Help Every Month - Because we count on your support to survive. My Patreon work pays the rent and (on a good month) for some of our groceries. Your pledges allow me to do the art I love and share it with you and the others who enjoy it. Both my wife and I do Patreon and FA related work for a living, so it's 100% up to our commissions and posts to keep us going. Your pledges put food on the table.  

- Animation update: Right now, we're attempting to get Lina's business income increased. Once that's improved, I won't have to take on so many additional commissions each month. Thus freeing up time to do more with animation and backed up projects. Until then, I'll be doing what I can to make sure I release the required content, even if that means subbing out different projects in the meantime. 

- Lina's Work: Lina's fursuiting Patreon (and soon, her ADULT ONLY Subscribe Star) and voice commissions are another important part of our income, and we're trying to find her more clients and Patrons. Check out her sexy fursuit/voice Patreon here: https://www.patreon.com/linapilchard
