Tier/Benefit Update - February 2025

Hello peeps! I hope you are having an amazing day!.

• This post is mainly focused for my Wolf and Polar Bear tier supporters. But can be read by everyone. It's just that the main changes will apply to them.

It's almost March and lately I've been thinking about this exercises, mentorships and lessons I've been taking to keep improving in my artwork.  (And I need to take more!). Because I've find a few changes in my style.

Since the last months of the past year I've been feeling this improvement in my artwork. Specially when it comes to shadding and the body structure (speaking of basic anatomy) and I'm actually excited about it. Bue due to this increase in quality + lessons + mentorships lately I've been taking a bit longer to produce every piece, which lets me with less time for smaller works.

This change in the quality is making me struggle a bit with the monthly sketches. So I have come with a situation:

• From March 15 the Free Sketch Benefit for Wolf & Polar Bear tiers will be paused.

This is in a way because lately I've been feeling a bit of extra... pressure to get them done along with my drawing exercises, commissions, Patreon posts and my daily life. I wouldn´t like to mention more info about this that may sound more like drama, but I've been feeling symptoms of burnout continously.

Next month March (and whats left of February) I'll be thinking in a way to find a balance between offering this kind of benefits, my other activities and my mental health related to my job. I don't know if this new rewards could be a bit more separated in time (like once every two months), more stylized (to a more simple style), taking more artistic freedom or something similar. This is because I would like to feel more confident about them to submit and share them as it's supposed to.

My apologies for this change. But this is something that has been "bitting" in my mind for a few weeks. The last day I'll receive ideas for the current kind of Patreon rewards will be March 15, according to the February 2025 period. After that day the monthly sketch benefit will be paused till I find a solution for them. So If you're part of the Wolf or Polar Bear tiers because of that benefit, I would suggest you to downgrade it while I find a solution for it.

This doesn´t mean that the ideas for Patreon Rewards I haven't finished are lost. I'll finish them. I just can´t receive new ones for a while.

If you made it to this point, thanks a lot for reading this journal update. It means a lot to have your support. I love you all and please take care.
