Important update on my situation
Added 2025-07-29 15:49:06 +0000 UTCHello Patrons!
I have a very important update, and it is not a very happy one. I am struggling to finish the artwork of the month (which I had started yesterday) because the family situation that had started at the beginning of May, which had already impacted my output since then with reduced hours and more dedicated family time, is coming to a conclusion soon. Yesterday my father has been put into comfort care, which means he will pass away peacefully soon.
Throughout my time on Patreon, I had always prided myself on delivering the Patreon posts on time. I intend to continue posting in August with a new complete animation on its way. But this week will be extremely difficult, and I cannot gather the energy to make an artwork as I usually do. However, I may publish a sketch I did which has not yet been published. Be on the lookout for it soon.
An update on Tropical Storm Dax, formerly known as Project Palawan: Things are coming along slowly but surely, if it hadn't been for the family emergency I know much more would be done. I was aiming for the next animation project to be related with Tropical Strom Dax, but another animated project will be worked on before then to bridge the gap. I am excited to get the project rolling, but I will need some more time to get some details complete. Thank you all for your patience.
In order to create the best artwork, I always believe that firstly, the artist's mental state must be without any troubles. Please wish me the best as I make my way through this very difficult time, so that soon I can return to give everyone the content we all need! I am sorry I cannot deliver a finished artwork this month. But don't worry, I will be back with more next month!
Love, Maruten

2025-07-29 16:25:52 +0000 UTCI'm so sorry to hear about your dad. I hope you'r doing okay. Please take the time to grieve as that is VERY important! Dont worry about the arts and animation, the most important thing right now is that you spend the last time you haven with him together and after that it is most important to take time to grieve. I wish you and your family the best of luckβ€οΈ
