Hey, I'm actually going to briefly sidebar the 'thank you's' just this once to do a promotion I promised for Vulpinator/Toonophile for his fanfics and writing comms. He's a very talented writer, even if I'm not into his NSFW content all that much, his writing style is great. So if you like a writing style with a focus on frilly undergarments, as well as plenty of other options, please check him out. He's also got a character discount list, as in a list of characters that will get you a discount if you want the fic to involve them.

Also, thanks for being a long-time Patreon Member Vulp! And I wish you the best of luck with your comms. That said, I'd also like to thank the rest of my Patreon and Substar pledgers. Thank you to my Acoylotes, Parishioners, and Donators. Your continued support is always appreciated. Very, very much so. Much love to you all.

Okay, we've got what feels like a lot on tap this month. Between the art studies, commissions, writing, research, and the holiday lead up it feels a little overwhelming in the moment. Practice sessions are slipping a bit, and I'm doing my best to continue to make time for them because I genuinely want to improve. But I have a lot of spinning plates in the air and I'm starting to feel like any second now I'm going to drop all of them at once and somehow manage to poke an eye out with one of the sticks.
Let's start with the necessary research I need to do this month. Priority one is to dig up a fairly simple website/webstore builder so I can actually have a safe zone to hock my adult merch. This includes the stuff that's still on Etsy, and stuff that was long since removed. I've got a lead on that I'll be looking into shortly.
Next, Keychain and Standee production. Another area where I have some leads. I've just about given up on making them myself. If not for the difficulty getting them sturdy and to look how I want, then merely for the lack of free time to craft them.
Last, I want to dip my toes back into actual animation soon. Nothing special yet, just little looping cycle stuff. Another thing I'm hoping to start soon.
Now onto actual, tangible stuff. I've got 2 different sets of stickers at the line art stage. One celebrates the end of the summer, and the second set that's Aggretsuko specific to celebrate the autumn overall. These will be different than my previous sets however. The reason? I'll be dropping them one sticker at a time roughly a week at a time over the next few months. Why am I doing this? While I'm still stuck on Etsy, it's easier and safer to upload each character sticker as a separate listing. That way, if one gets TOS sniped, they won't all get TOS sniped in one shot.
On top of that, while commissions are still open, I've got 3 in progress and 1 in a floating reservation. Two are about half done, with one yet to be started. That's of course not even counting personal projects which feel like just a chaotic, disorganized mess. A million things to draw, to write, and thinking up new things every day. While my health had improved somewhat, I still feel like I don't have enough hands, enough of me, or enough time to get it all out.
As for my fic content, I just dropped a minific on Patreon and Substar that goes with a picture set. Both of these will drop in about 2 weeks or so for public consumption. I have another chapter of The Family Vulpes in the editing bay and will start writing the chapter after that one closer to the end of the month. Slow going, I know, and I'm sorry but there's just so much to do. Again, I'm balancing plates.
The only other project I can update right now is Savage Love. I'm not done with it, of course, it's merely on the back burner. I'd like to do more with it before the holiday season ends, but we'll see. Everything else is on hiatus until further notice.
Now for a brief, surface life update. At least as brief as is relevant. My health has improved a bit. I'm trying to walk every day now, and thankfully I live in the perfect place for that sort of thing. My Mom's still not in great shape, so that remains a job in and of itself. And of course, with the holidays coming up, it makes for a lot of life distractions.
So I think that's about all I have to update everyone on at the moment. Just trying to keep my head above water and wishing I still had two more months to go before September. Thanks to all my pledgers and backers again, and a thank you to my fans and followers as well!
