Hey all!
I'm happy to report our finances have stabilized a bit. We're not rich but we're not going to starve either so...good news? Been getting a steady stream of commissions too though I never remember to update the other journal which makes me wonder why I create those "slot" lists in the first place...
At any rate, I found out about this service called Patreon...basically you guys could collectively donate toward the cause of me making more art. With the financial backing I can devote more time to it for sure, and then would be much more willing to take direct requests as opposed to the current model of "if I like your request I'll make it at some point". I'd have to setup quite a bit of infrastructure to make that happen, but if you guys would be interested, I'd be willing to give it a shot.
Let me know what you all think!

Happy New Years! Some changes coming to Patreon...
Hey all! First up welcome to 2018, hope you have an amazing year and thanks for following. I’ve now been on Patreon for a few months and have a few changes coming that I think will help it (and myself) out. This also applies to my other accounts too so if you don’t want to be caught wondering why things are or aren’t getting submitted, you’ll want to read on.Change 1: Dropping Story/Canon works, new Release Schedule
The Wednesday for Patrons/Saturday for all others remains the same, however my works featuring more story-driven or plot related themes are going out, at least most of the time. This is for a couple of reas
Starting a Patreon
Hey all.
So I've been mulling this over for awhile. I really want to get back into this stuff in a big way, I miss doing it. Being as I work full time now though, I need to find a way to make it matter to me again. Way back, the commission business was fairly steady but now it's more of a trickle, so I need to find a new way to monetize it.
If you know where this is going, congrats on those reading skills friend. :)
Now I want to say this up front:
No artwork of mine is going to be put behind a paywall.
I'm currently doing that with a bunch of stuff here on dA, and it's something I've never been entirely happy with. Therefore, the first
Mean to be more active lately, heh...
Adding to the status update from earlier, I meant to be back a little more but between Game of Thrones destroying my emotions and things being in-general hectic at work along with helping out ~Liquidfire3 (https://www.deviantart.com/liquidfire3) through some more health issues, I've just been extremely busy.
On the upside, I'm working on automating more of my daily tasks so I can be around here more. Stay tuned. ;)
Need more Groups
Hey all,
I notice a lot of the groups I regularly submit my work too have gone dark. I'm sadly not as involved in the community as I want to be, so I'm a little out of the loop. If anyone knows of any groups that would like to have my work in them, or admins any, feel free to drop a line.
Thanks!

Hey I recently started a Patreon. I'm hoping it becomes something that grows and allows me to do what I love. Getting the word out is tough, im not well known in my community so my current backers are close friends and family.
Main thing I'm hoping to get to others(that may want to donate) is $1 helps. It adds up. You may do well since you have a nice fan following.
If you start one I would back you with something. Looks like what come up hottest on patreon is based on how many parons you have(not money). So I'd be willing to help get you noticed. It means a lot for an artist to get to do what they love.
If you interested to see how mine is set up, here it is: www.patreon.com/arizzel
Best of luck.
