One year of Patreon!
With set 47 released, this marks the end of my first year of Patreon. I cannot possibly explain how much I did not expect the amount of support you have all given me!
I launched into this whole adventure thinking it might help support the very costly hobby I had just started. I didn't know how much I'd be able to deliver and how exactly to setup this Patreon page. I estimated (using my previous works as a measuring stick) that I could offer sets of 5-10 pictures. With 47 sets, that would've been between 235-470 pictures. Turns out it was actually 953 pics, haha.
Now, a year later, I have reached a point where I just need to fix a few more things in my life before I drop my actual job and work on this full-time. You know this feeling you get at work, when you are going on vacation in a week and your heart is just not into your work... like it's already on vacation. It kinda feels like that at the moment. It's a somewhat hard time at my office but I keep my spirits up simply knowing that I do not 'rely' so much on that job anymore. And I have every single one of you to thank for that!
Seriously, thank you!

It is just me or set take more and more time to be released month after month ?
True, it seems like the release date does get push back further for at least part of the promised content. Though Leticia hasn't failed to deliver yet.
When are April's sets being posted?
Set 48 should be this evening. Set 49 will likely be sometime this weekend
(mikisucht) i am now here too :-)
Congratulations! I can only dream of the success you have! I hope that your next year will be even more successful than the first one! To infinity, and beyond! :)
While I'm hopeful and optimistic for you, let me preface by asking you to not let your guard down: Making a hobby your primary source of income can be a table-turner for some, a dealbreaker for others, and a dream-come-true for the last few. Here's to hoping you're in that last group, with a sprinkle of my best wishes on top.
Understood, and it is something I've kept in mind. But ideally, this is 'phase 1' and once I have more free time, I've already got a few ideas of how I may expand into other things. As Dinoclaws mentioned, animation could be fun... or starting to model my own props/3d assets. Thanks for your wishes!
Oh my, it has been one year! Look how for you've come in that time, it's incredible!
