My contract may be extended again but I&#8217;ll be on it until August for sure! It&#8217;s been so nice to be a part of a studio and I really love having <a href=\"http:\/\/www.portablecity.net\/\">Shel Kahn<\/a> as my art director. The whole team is doing such a great job and I cannot wait to tell y&#8217;all about this game!<\/p>\n<p>Progress is being made, slowly but surely, on my VIP Blog. This is my own site that will be my Patreon mirror, so in case Patreon ever goes down I have a back up. Prices are in Canadian if that&#8217;s an incentive at all, and you&#8217;ll only get one email per week about posts but I post pieces at the same time as Patreon. Right now I have to use Stripe as a payment processor, but they don&#8217;t technically allow for NSFW or tips so I&#8217;m trying to figure out ways around that like; as a $10 member you&#8217;ll be charged for a sketchbook PDF and shoutout request every month, BUT you&#8217;ll get access to my private blog that just so happens to have NSFW art in it. Hopefully I can make this work. It&#8217;s tough out there for NSFW artists right now.<\/p>\n<p>I have officially caught up on weekly art prompts over on the <a href=\"https:\/\/lupiniii.club\/index.php?forums\/lupin-fanart.18\/\">Lupin Forum<\/a> and will be posting those in batches on other sites soon.
