April 2020 Status Update

Hey there, Oxdarock here!

Thanks everyone for another successful month! I hope everyone's been safe and healthy. Thought I'd give the update one what's going for my Patreon this month (and in general).

First off, the suggestion period for this month's Patron Pick poll is currently open! If you're part of the Grand tier or above and/or if you name is on this list, you can enter a suggestion via commenting on this post (or a private message). Thanks to the feedback I got from patrons via this poll, I'll be conducting the second round differently this month, in a way that appeals to more people. 

Second, after the mistakes of converting to a "per month" format in January, there's only a handful of patrons who have a pledge of $5 but are labeled under the "No Benefit" status (in other words a Custom Pledge), meaning they haven't received a link this whole time. I've sent out messages to these patrons, but again, please change your pledge from a Custom Pledge to an actual tier. Once you do, please contact me so I can send you all the links you've missed. Sorry for the inconvenience! ^^;

Third, to all of the people who've reserved a commission slot (all of which are patrons), I apologize for the wait. Truth is, I haven't even remotely started working on them. I'd have probably started them this month along with the Patron Picks, but I think I've been going through a withdrawal lately. Mind's been bogged down with things I want to draw but haven't been able to. I still have your notes and I intend to work on them at some point. I'll try to send a notice when I finally get to sketching them. 

Finally, regarding the Lusty Lamp and comics. I honestly have no idea what to do about this at the moment. Along with my old habit of taking on too many things at once, the way I've been approaching it has actually made my withdrawal worse. Think I'll need to approach this storytelling in a different manner. It won't make sense to anyone but myself, but at least they'll look appealing (hopefully).

Anyway, that's all for now! Stay safe and healthy everybody!
