October break 🎃

Hey everyone!!

So, a bit of news! Well, not news to me, but news to you hehe xD

Those of you who have been here for a bit longer than a year, you know that I like taking a big break annually, usually in January.

But, I will have to take another one next month, and that's something I've been debating on doing for a very long time now. I'm not burned out, or out of ideas by any means, but I have a BIG real life thing coming up, something that will take all of my time during the whole month of October, and I simply won't have any time to draw, so that's why I decided to pause Patreon next month.

Namely, my long distance girlfriend who I've known for the past three years is coming to visit me all the way from the US, and we'll be meeting in person for the first time EVER! I really want to spend as much time as possible with her, dedicate to her and show her around :)

So I'll be pausing the pledges, not cancelling Patreon altogether, which means that you will not be charged for October if you decide to stay on here. September rewards will be given out per schedule as well as few remaining commissions that I need to finish.

This is a huge opportunity of a lifetime that's extremely important to me, and I want to make sure everything goes smoothly. Honestly, big part of the reason why I even started this Patreon is so I could have proper income doing what I love, and so I could afford being closer with her. The fact that we have finally been able to arrange to meet in person has been a huge dream of ours, one that we both worked hard to make happen for the past few years. I'm feeling more and more ecstatic and good-nervous by each passing day haha 😅❤️

So that's the gist of it! I'm sorry that I won't be able to draw during the spookiest month of the year, I will certainly miss it, and the opportunities for some themed artwork, but at the same time, I'm INCREDIBLY happy that this is finally happening, and I wouldn't want to miss it for anything. I think I'll still be allowed to post during the month, so I may post some older Halloween/October works, specially the ones I've never published.

To everyone that expressed their support in so many different ways, one or a million "thank yous" isn't enough to describe how grateful and lucky I feel right now.

My DM-s will be open for chat or anything you need during the time, I'll do my best to check it often. And I'll let you know how it all went in November! Fingers crossed!

Have a lovely and spooky October everyone, and enjoy yourselves. I'll see you soon! ❤️
