Hey everyone,

First things first, there was no charge for any patrons that was subscribed in May going into June. If I don't have anything or don't have much, I will always do this because I believe that's the right thing to do.

Very sorry about everything, but I will be away June 25 - July 7.. I don't want to go but this is kind of a mandatory thing I got to do every year.
THERE'S NO MORE COVERS. When I come back I WILL be focusing on Patreon and I do want to do NSFW (for the millionth time I said it). Will also be making some overdue tweaks/updates to my Patreon.

I've been really dreading to come back and to make this post. I already haven't been very active & have been neglecting to reply messages, because I've been prioritizing myself to finish covers. A lot was in my mind & my machines died...

• Everything was falling apart
  My 5+ years old laptop died AND my printer wasn't working, pretty much around the same time last month.
  I was working on several new works & alongside some covers in progress. I don't have anything backed up AND I had orders to complete, so I panicked and immediately ordered a new computer and printer, so I can get back to work ASAP. As I waited for them to arrive, in desperation I went to GeekSquad (BestBuy), and they were able to recover all my files.
  Once everything arrived, I had to install and optimize everything. Although I was able to get my files back, my programs' settings & brushes were all gone.

• I'm putting a hold on covers
  There's several reasons why I'm stopping:
  - I want to focus on Patreon & my shop.
  - My progress in making art was slowing down, and my art was starting to look awful. I could actually feel my passion slipping away.
  - I don't think covers are worth it in the long run (for me). The pay was "meh," but the main problem is that covers take a while to come out. It makes my socials very inactive and in-turn makes me feel like I'm not making any progress, it feels bad. I realize I treat my socials like a journal/diary, documenting my journey.
  - First of all, this is not about UDON Entertainment, my experience with them has always been great. I'm talking about some smaller companies/commissioners.
  There's been many red flags but I always give them the benefit-of-the-doubt (because we're all human, we make mistakes). I realized this too late, but some of these commissioners actually do not care about the art, they are chasing after the money they can make from covers. To elaborate, some of them just want me to do covers for my name and not the art. This became really apparent during our meet-up in my local convention. That just really rubs me the wrong way.
