Personal Update

Hey guys, so in the years I've had this Patreon, I never used this feature, but I thought I should give you all an update where I stand, personally. 2020 and 2021 have been rough for everyone, 2020 and 2021 both had problems besides COVID that really tanked me, but at the same time, Emillie and the absurd number of drawings of her has helped me a lot, personally.

A tl;dr for 2021 was having a job that was really rough and didn't do a lot for my mental health, as well as other problems such as a few weeks of tooth pain back in October and some more personal issues cropping up just this month.

First, I don't want to use mental health as a reason for not making content for you guys, so please forgive me for not making much this month. I have a few sketches I got backlogged, just 2, and I'm going to focus on the rest of the month getting a Christmas drawing and a Patreon thank you drawing done, I cannot promise I can get the Patreon thank you drawing done before the new year, but I can and will get it done.

Second, January, I'll be streaming once a week, starting on Tuesday, the 4th. My aim is for 4 hour streams. As for when I'll start, I'll like to aim for any time past 6 PM central US time, but no set time. It will not be Patreons only, but I'll make a post when I go live both here on Patreon and on Twitter.

Lastly, I want to thank you all, a lot of you stayed with me when I would go months without updating Patreon and some of you rejoined because I started using Patreon. It's been a struggle for me, it's kind of silly since it seems like the easiest thing in the world, but strong opinions tend to keep a mind more closed than it should be. I'm going to work in 2022 to get at least one drawing a week done, with more sketches in-between. It's not a promise, but I will try my best to meet this standard.

You guys mean the world to me, not because of money or appreciation you guys have shown me, but just for being around, being here, putting some trust in me and somehow liking content I make. It's crazy to me people like what I do and like I've said time and time again, you guys are the blood of every artist, without you, we're nobody. I want to do you guys right so thank you very much for sticking with me, I'll do my best to stick with you also.

Love you all, Zan. Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays and Happy New Year.
