Hi hello, my friends!

First of all, I want to thank you all for sticking around here. I appreciate every one of you who donates to me each month!! You’ve supported me this far and it means a lot to me, thank you so so much <3 

I’m grateful to have you, and this is why I feel that I owe you some apology and an explanation of what's happening with this Boosty page. And I need your thoughts/suggestions about it, so please, read it all the way through!

You’ve probably noticed that it got hard for me to keep with my own schedule with the Boosty exclusive illustrations I arranged here. And there is a reason.

To be honest, I'm kind of confused at the moment.

I was hoping to build my Boosty page in such a way as to have more time to create drawings. I try to develop my skills constantly, and I hoped that financial support from Boosty would allow me to do it more… naturally. But after this “trial year,” I still didn't manage to gather enough paid subscribers to recoup my efforts on the exclusive illustration each month.

Roughly speaking, I’m “working at a loss”. And recently I have spent a lot more effort trying to maintain the format that I came up with, just because I didn’t want to stop and let you guys down. Because I always try to keep my promises.

But I finally exhausted myself to the point when I felt like it was time to let it go.

Simply, I will not be doing Boosty exclusive illustrations anymore.

Over the next year, I will choose those of them that I'm most proud of and post them in my public galleries in small size. The full-sized illustrations will stay here!

But I don’t want to abandon this page either, as it has really been a safe place for me to share my sketches, processes, and other drawing stuff. I just couldn’t find the time and motivation to do it because I put exclusive illustrations as the highest priority. And creating them drained me of all my energy.

I’m still willing to share:

• full sizes of my drawings (except commissions)

• my sketches and thumbnails, no matter how silly they are

• more content with my original characters  

• step-by-step processes of my drawings

• occasional speedpaints (still figuring this out)

• my old art that hasn’t been seen anywhere before

• I can also see myself doing sketch requests every now and then! Just like I did it in March of this year.

Still, you support me with a coin, so I find it fair to ask you directly. What would you like to see on my Boosty?

From what I have suggested, is there anything that interests you the most? Or maybe you have any other ideas of what I can share with you? What interests you about artists when you support them? I really want to know! 🙏

And as a final note, let me tell you that if you were here just for the Boosty exclusive illustrations, I would completely understand if you decide to leave. I don’t want you to stick around for anything that you find uninteresting! I'm sorry I couldn't keep this longer. I feel like I have grown a bit since last year and thank you so much for supporting me on this journey ❤️❤️❤️

Saying this, I'm preparing to post more sketches with my OCs and other stuff soon. I have lots to share. I'm just not sure how exactly to run this page, and if there's a "right" way to do it 😅

Please let me hear you thoughts! Thank you 🌷
