may 2017

hello, hello. it's a new month, which means an update.

1) most important: sorry to the 15 dollar tier for the lack of updates on side comics.
i've had to take on a decent amount of extra commission work, and as drop-out gets close to the end, the pages have required a lot more time due to attention to detail and fine-tuning the script.
hopefully this is okay. as before, everybody in that tier will get a point toward patreon commissions this month if they so choose.

1.5) i'm thinking i may start doing sketch comics for character developments to pass the time in that tier while i don't have time to do fully rendered ones. the big character poll results help with this.

2) i'm getting a new (refurbished) laptop early this month, with twice as much ram, better color precision, you know. good stuff. hopefully this'll help out with stream quality and general art quality.
the laptop i'm using right now has intermittently not turned on at all sometimes, the screen has quit working altogether for a bit a few times, and only 1 of the 3 usb ports isn't completely burnt out, but it's also starting to fail, so i felt it was necessary to replace it sooner than later.

3) the poll for stream options this month will be up shortly.
tangentially related... i think only about 12 people show up at most to the streams, which is fine if that's by choice!
if anyone can't make it to streams because of time reasons and would like some streams on different days/times, feel free to let me know.

4) Thank You to everyone who voted on the character poll last month; the winners were consecutively devon, angel, and frankie, with rain being the only other character who got into the double digits. i'll keep that in mind with my art direction for a while.

i think that's all i've got for now! thanks, everybody.
