News - Oct. 2019 - Losing Patrons

- TRYING TO SURVIVE -  Made rent and bit on Patreon, but now I'm looking at just barely enough to cover rent next month, at $772 and only 102 Patrons. I'm not sure if it's the "Dry Season" starting or something I'm doing wrong. I had 203 Patrons in June 2018, and processed nearly $1,460 in pledges October in 2018. 

- CAR BAD NEWS. We have until November 12th to fix our 'expired plates' and and 'no insurance' traffic tickets. Need the van to pass MO inspection, which it didn't because we need rack/pinion fixed (one more bill to pay). And then we need insurance AND registration fees just to get the tags legal.

- Apologies for still not having July's collab. Collaborator is out of surgery and hoping to get back home to his computer soon. I have another collaboration with Sagabel this month, and another with a new local friend, so that might make up for it.  

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

- Special Thanks to Paul, Steven, Despia, Mike, Melody, Justin, and Moose, for your Platinum and higher pledges. You guys are literally about 50% 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.  

- FNAB2 update: Episode 4 is on hold still while I'm working on the "Doe in Distress" animation.  Last month we were trying to stay alive, and so a lot of my art time was devoted to making up what we were not making on Patreon. I hope we can pull through these tough times and actually get back on track, but it's been hard.

- 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
