My absence

Hello everyone,

First of all, I know some of you have been worried about me, and for that I am appreciative and also very sorry that I've been so absent that I've worried people. I am doing okay, but suffice it to say the past year has been hard.

A few things that need urgent addressing are:

1. March 2022 - if you were still a patron of mine, you were charged for this month, and that's because I forgot to pause membership again. This is something a creator must do every month before the start of the month if they wish to keep a longer-term membership pause, and this month I wasn't quick enough. I'm sorry about that. I am in the process of refunding all March 1 pledges that were charged. I have to manually refund each of them and it takes some time for the site to process each one, so I wanted to give you all a heads up as I am doing this. Patreon says it will take 5-7 business days to process refunds, so you should receive your funds within 7 days at the latest.

2. If/when I'm ready to start up my patreon again I will announce it before the start of the month, so you'll know.

3. August was the last month my patreon was active, I still owe y'all August patrons art for that month. I have not forgotten, and still intend to produce at least the NSFW patron art for that month if not a few other things, and send it out. I completed the postcard for that month and sent it out in the mail to all $10 patrons back in September or October, so if you received it already and were wondering wtf was going on, this is what happened. I just failed to...let you guys know. I will post it here on patreon as well.

For my absence, failure to communicate my absence, and failure to produce content for this patreon, I am so deeply sorry. This is honestly a place I never thought I'd be in and I hate being so irresponsible.

____________

The above is all the essential info; if you want to read on, I'll talk a little more.

Last year was a rough year for me. In 2021 I found myself coming off several very creatively productive and fulfilling years where I made a ton of art, enjoyed myself greatly, and improved a lot. Even through the first year of the pandemic I was still going strong, but I hit a wall in 2021. Drawing felt impossible, my day job was in shambles, and the future was uncertain. I just...struggled so much to make art amidst everything. My productivity was lower throughout the year but in August I just came to a dead stop. I couldn't make art anymore if my life depended on it. I wanted to, but I also had no drive to do so and everything I tried to draw felt and looked horrible. I don't know what happened to me but if you're a creative, maybe you've had moments like this, when you feel like everything you thought you were, thought you were capable of making, is just suddenly not there anymore. My general state of mind kept me really burned out, isolated and depressed, and I fell off socials completely as well, not just patreon. I did absolutely intend to pause for March as well but what happened last month is I finally landed a new dayjob, which is great, but also I've been too busy to think over the past few weeks and just lost track of it.

Nothing terrible has happened to me physically, so if any of you were worried about that, again, sorry. I'm not in physical danger.

I deeply value all of you patrons, past and present, and have really really enjoyed interacting with so many of you on here. The massive amounts of support I've received for my art, and just as a person, has been incredible and I'm so grateful. Several of you have reached out via DM and I will be replying to those within the next few days. <3 I will also check in on discord this weekend.

The future of my art and this patreon is uncertain, but I will update you guys about it when I know more. I have billing paused for April 1 already and will continue to do so until I decide to come back, at which point I will let you guys know. If I do start creating for patreon again, I will have work prepared in advance as a cushion for myself coming back in. If you've joined at any time and not cancelled your membership, you will remain a patron but not be charged as long as I continue to have it paused.

Thank you for reading, my deepest apologies again, and much love. 

Again, for those charged for March keep an eye out for your refunds, they're coming!

[NSFW] shower todobaku + kirishima

OK finally here's my final July reward! This was the second place finisher on last month's poll--I really wanted to draw it! I miss tdbk T_T <3

On to August stuff now~

[NSFW] JULY nsfw patron art - Hinata x Noya x Kageyama + Asahi

Here's July's poll winning art! TY for your votes, this was such a fun one!

[JULY postcard!] JoeCherry

Hi all!

Here's the belated July postcard illustration- I decided to draw some matchablossom since I think a lot of y'all like them and I haven't had much of a chance to draw them yet! 

I'm hoping to have these back from the printer and ready to mail out to $10 patrons by this weekend. Don't forget you can purchase old postcards at a discount at my bigcartel store (69% discount code < here for $10 patrons).

A note on the lateness--I'm so so sorry about my lack of art in July. I had an insanely busy month irl (including moving to a new apartment) that really knocked me on my ass more than expected. I'm finishing up July's NSFW patron art ( hinata x noya x kageyama + asahi ) as well as a tdbk NSFW art and will try to have both of those July rewards posted today as well. Once I've finished those up I'll post the suggestion box for reallyvibing tier for August's NSFW poll tomorrow, and I think I'll do a poll for the month's postcard as well! Thanks for your patience guys <3 I think August will be much better and I'm really looking forward to finally making that hinabowl book this month since I'll have more time, and just being more active in general! YEEEE

Again i'm so so sorry, I've never been late like this before and I really hate letting you guys down ;~; <333

July NSFW poll!

Ahhh sorry it took me so long to put this poll together. I used prompts from almost everyone this time I think, except for fandoms/prompts I was unfamiliar with :3 I kinda combined a couple that were similar, as well!

Poll will close in 2 days~

July NSFW poll suggestion box

Thoughts on what I should put on my NSFW poll to draw this month? Gimme:

Fandom / ship / prompt

And goooo! *grabby hands*

[nsfw] hinata x asahi

I couldn't draw HinaDai and HinaSuga without completing the set with HinaAsahi! I THINK I have two more planned of this series to round everything out and then hopefully sometime in August I can finally put together my Hina bowl artbook. Fingers crossed!

[nsfw] jujutsu kaisen - itadori x megumi overstim

This month's patron exclusive art is done! You guys voted for itafushi, and I really enjoyed drawing them!!! (relatedly, I also really like sukufushi and want to draw them sometimeeee 👀)

I have one other lil thing I want to post this month aah I will try to get it done asap :3

June postcard - remedial squad!

I decided to go with Bakugou, Todoroki, Inasa and Camie (throwback to THIS [NSFW] from last June) for this month's postcard, because I've been missing this crew! Going for some vacation vibes~ 

Hope everyone is doing well! Next up is the poll winner (JJK)!

June NSFW poll

I've narrowed down the suggestion box prompts to two prompts from each of my favorite fandoms currently. Vote for your favs! Poll ends on Saturday.

[nsfw] Hinata x Suga

We back with Hinata's top tour, YEAH! Been wanting to draw HinaSuga for a while :3 I'm a bit creaky getting back into drawing but I have lots of ideas for what I want to draw!! I'll put up the poll for this month shortly, as well :D

(I'm so sorry about the new watermark. :[ recent circumstances have forced me to use a watermark that's more obnoxious T_T)

June poll prompt suggestion box

Hereeee we go reallyvibing tier! Do you have a prompt for me to consider for this  month’s NSFW patron art poll? Leave a comment with an idea (or several) for me to draw! Please use this format:

Fandom / ship / prompt

I am back!

Hello and happy June! I’ve had a nice 2 month break from art (and mostly from social media/discord as well) and I’m ready to get back into it!

Thanks to everyone who’s reached out with kind messages, I really appreciate it. Burnout sucks but it was great knowing so many nice people out there are so supportive!! <3 Thanks also to new patrons who joined while I was on hiatus. :O I’m really looking forward to making some new art for y’all this month~

How are you all doing? What fandoms/ships are you guys digging right now? 👀 My brain is a bit rusty on the fandom front so I’d love to hear what kind of stuff you’re interested in these days!!

Patreon paused for April

Hi all! I’ve decided to put my patreon on pause for the month of April. I’ve been struggling with burnout for the past couple months now, so I decided I really need a break to recharge.

This means that if you remain a patron, you automatically won’t be charged for April—the next billing will occur on the first of the next month when I unpause billing (hopefully May 1!). Those who remain patrons during the pause should still be able to see all the posts accessible to your tier while billing is paused. You can always send me a DM via patreon if you have any questions about this!

For $10 patrons, your March tdbk postcard (er, bookmark!) will go in the mail this weekend. I really like how they turned out, hehe. Also, I’ve put the September kghn olympics postcard up in my store for $10 patrons, if you want to nab it or any other old ones, please don’t forget your discount code! 

Preview of the bookmark:

Hopefully see you guys in May! Thank you so much for your support, it means so so much to me. <3

[nsfw] sk8 - reki x langa

Finally did some renga art! This was another suggestion from the month's poll that I wanted to get to, so thank you for that prompt! :D

[nsfw] IwaOi - March patron art

Finished the post-Olympic match IwaOi! Thanks for the prompt, Rebecca! Ahhh this is my first ever Iwaoi, I hope you guys like it ;~;

[nsfw] kirikami: under-the-desk bl*wj*b

IwaOi was the poll winner for this month (I'll be working on it next!!) but I couldn't resist doing one of the other prompts that didn't win as well--I may try to do one or two others too if I have time! 

So here's Kaminari blowing Kirishima under his desk at his Hero Agency! :D Make sure you look at the second image too to see the actual bl*wj*b. XD (this platform makes me censor that word....🙄)

[nsfw] Hinata x Hyakuzawa

We are BACK to Hinata's Top Tour with the biggest boi of them all, Hyakuzawa! A little locker room rimming action after a pro match. :>

I know he doesn't appear a lot in the series, but he LOVES Hinata and looks hot in the timeskip! IDK what colors his team uniform is so I made somethin up~

March NSFW patron art poll!

Got some great prompts from reallyvibing patrons! I used a prompt from pretty much everyone this time, except for fandoms I'm not familiar with! Thanks for tossing out such great ideas as USUAL! I'm excited to see what you guys like best :D

reallyvibing tier - February rewards

FEBRUARY 2020 REWARDS 

Here's a link to last month's rewards/all art I've posted during the month, in high resolution! This includes .PSD files of the month's NSFW patron art and card, and high res jpgs of everything. I also included a phone wallpaper of the Hinata valentine art, if anyone is interested!

Regarding the monthly rewards link, please read:

• Please do not redistribute this link or any of the files it contains to people outside of this Patreon tier. Thank you! <3
• I will be uploading a file like this at the end of every month for the $10 tier, containing all rewards for the month in high resolution.
• These links will be accessible for 3 months.
• I will send these out this dropbox link via DM as well, so if you've changed your pledge for March you'll still have access to February's rewards.

I added last August's postcard (remedial squad at a festival) to my shop if anyone missed out on that and wants it! Older postcards are there too. Please use the discount code POSTCARD69 to get 69% off any postcard purchases! Postcard purchases between now and the end of March will ship out with this month's postcard.

[nsfw] fantasy inspired kirideku

Here's the February nsfw patron art! Thank you to YourBrainOnHQ for the great suggestion. Deku is a forest spirit and Kirishima is a human! I drew quite a bit of visual inspiration from league of legends spirit blossom event concepts for this, hehe.

Sorry I was running a bit late on this, last month was so short lmao. Thanks to those of you who joined the stream yesterday, it really helped to have you guys cheering me on while I got some momentum on this piece!!! I hope you like the finished product~

I'll have the March poll suggestion box up for $10 patrons tomorrow!!

February nsfw stream FINISHED

Stream is done! Thanks so much to those who stopped by! I will post the art soon when I'm finished with it! <333

[nsfw] art dump - kurotsuki (HQ), joecherry (Sk8), klance (VLD)

Here's some stuff I've been working on recently! Well, except for the first piece XD

KRTSK - this is my art from the HQ smut zine! I drew it to go with a fic by ItsMellieJellie--we'll probably post the collab publicly sometime in the future, but for now this is patrons only.

JoeCherry x 2 - this is my favorite sk8 ship and i am on FIRE FOR THEM! I tried drawing them...hopefully someday I can draw them in a way I'm actually satisfied with ;~;

Klance - catboy Lance for my friend Ainu's birthday! I don't go to this fandom but the character designs were fun to draw :)

I'm going to be working on the kirideku NSFW patron art today and tomorrow, so stay tuned for a stream tomorrow as I try to get a bunch done on that!!

I've really been struggling with art block/burnout for the past couple weeks, so thank you guys for your patience. ;; 

Feb NSFW patron art poll!

Finally! Sorry it took me so long to get this posted /o\

I had a lot of HQ prompts this round! I decided to trim these down to two-person prompts and cut out some of the kagehina ones, sorry about that! Thank you reallyvibing folks for all your excellent suggestions!

Poll closes in 2 days.

Suggestion box: February NSFW patron poll
