γ€Œ 07 β—‡ 01 β—‡ 2024 」⛅

Welcome to 2024!
Bit of an early update as it is technically not yet Monday, but here is the latest:

βœ‰οΈ Responses to emails have started going out and will continue to go out tomorrow on my first official day back in office.

✏️ Patrons sending in preorders for their monthly rewards will find themselves being sorted into March's queue tonight and tomorrow. My Patreon is PAUSED for the months of January and February as I handle my commission queue.

βœ’οΈ Commission work never really stopped during my holiday, but it will continue as normal going forward until my Patreon resumes March 1. Clients inquiring about their art and edits will start receiving responses tonight and on Monday. There will be a small commission opening later in January, exact date and time to be announced.

🌟 Some items in my Trello may be misplaced and have yet to be moved to their correct positions: Example: if feedback was received for a WIP and hasn't yet moved back to the In Progress column. This will be rectified this week, apologies for any confusion this may have caused. I will be following up with those who I have not yet heard feedback from.

Thank you everyone for your patience during this holiday period!
Wishing everyone a prosperous and joyful 2024!! ✨ πŸŽ‰
πŸ“¬ All pending emails and patron DMs from my break have now received responses! I have also sent followup emails to clients from whom I am still waiting feedback.

If you sent me an email between December 11 and January 7 but have not yet heard back from me, please check your spam or resend your email to godbirdart@gmail.com! Thank you!

✏️ I am presently working on issuing sketches for those who have yet to receive their first WIP back for their artwork. More WIPs are scheduled to go out later today and throughout the remainder of January and February.

βŒ› At this time I am wrapping up the oldest pieces in my queue. These oldest pieces included three illustrations which demand more time and attention than my other styles. Due to the time needed on each piece, this may give the appearance of slow updates on my Trello. I want to assure clients that I am working diligently on subsequent pieces in my queue during breaks away from these larger pieces. [Pausing work on an art piece for an evening and returning to it the following morning grants a fresh perspective, allowing me to better catch potential errors]. My Trello is located here . It is also readily linked in both my Carrd and on my website's About page, as well in as the footer of my emails.

πŸ’¬ To those that may be unfamiliar: A scheduling conflict between my commission work and Patreon in 2023 has resulted in a small backlog to accumulate regarding my commissions, and thus I am dedicating the months of January and February to resolving it. Clients with inquiries about the status of their piece[s] are welcome to reach out to at any point at godbirdart@gmail.com. I will do my best to respond within the same day or by the following day's afternoon. Please note I am out of office on weekends and any emails sent in late on Friday or over the weekend will be handled on Monday.

✨ My Patreon pause will continue into February and is scheduled to resume March 1.

β˜€οΈ I am tentatively scheduling a commission opening for January 26. This opening will be small, scheduled for up to six slots. However: this opening is dependant on the volume of work completed before that date. My highest priority is handling the work presently in my queue and I will postpone this opening if I feel I haven't sent out enough completed work. Unless I have opted to postpone this opening, a proper notice for this opening's date and time will be posted in the middle of next week.

βœ‰οΈ As always, if anyone has questions about commissions, Patreon, or just want an update on the progress of their owed work, do not hesitate to reach out to me at godbirdart@gmail.com! Again, I will do my best to respond within the same day or by the following business day's afternoon [as I am out of office on weekends].

Thank you everyone!

β”Œ WORK UPDATE π“…£ ┐ β˜€οΈ

Hallo hallo everyone! I will be returning to office tomorrow [March 4] but want to get this update out before I continue handling more errands today:

πŸ’¬ I will be back responding to emails tomorrow afternoon! It is important to note that my emails will be busy with the return of my monthly Patreon. I will be setting aside time to ensure all emails received before March 4 get a response tomorrow. In the meantime, I would like to deeply thank everyone for their patience as I get back to them!

✏️ I'll be working on owed artwork and Patreon stickers tomorrow as my schedule allows. I am prioritizing email responses tomorrow but should be back to my weekday work routine on Tuesday.

πŸ—“οΈ As I am returning from a long out-of-office period, I will be handling a variety of errands and social media chores during this first week back and may be unable to respond right away to incoming messages. My deepest apologies for any prolonged wait time!!

✨ My Patreon has resumed! Patrons of the Sticker Hoarder tiers are encouraged to email in their monthly sticker requests before the 20th. I will be scheduling this month's adoptable base poll shortly and will be posting it as well as a proper welcome back reminder on my Patreon this week.

πŸ“± I have added Cohost to my roster of social media, as well as re-added Sheezy Art with its revival. I will be crossposting my work to these sites as well as catching up my gallery with some older pieces over time.

β”Œ WORK UPDATE π“…£ ┐ β˜€οΈ

Here's the latest on what's going on:

πŸ’¬ Email responses may be laggy this week as I work to wrap up my monthly Patreon obligations! As part of my new scheduling, I aim to respond to people within the same business day - however delays may still occur during the first and last weeks of the month. I am out of office on weekends and will respond to late Friday / weekend emails on Monday.

✎ Owed work is continuing to go out.
- I will be sending out rough traditional sketches for many of those who have not yet received WIPs into next week.
- I am digitizing WIPs of those who have received traditional sketches and sending those digital copies out as they become available.
- I am continuously working on completing and sending back the final editions of artwork in between my other obligations.

✨ Patreon rewards are continuing to go out and should all be complete and sent out by late evening on March 31. The monthly adoptable bases are scheduled to release on the weekend.

βœ‰οΈ As always if anyone has questions, please do not hesitate to reach out to me at godbirdart@gmail.com!
βœ‰οΈ as i am focused on wrapping up projects before the switch to patreon work on Monday, i may be unable to respond to emails right away. thank you everyone for your patience while i get back to you!
β”Œ EMAIL UPDATE π“…£ ┐

I am presently working on answering all pending emails and other business correspondences.

Any and all emails sent in on or before Sunday April 21 should receive a response [if applicable] within the next couple hours. If schedule allows, I will also be catching up to incoming emails from today.

If you sent in an email before Sunday but do not see any response by the end of day [MDT time], please check your spam inbox. If nothing appears still, please do not hesitate to reach out!

Thank you all for your patience.
β”Œ WORK UPDATE π“…£ ┐ β˜€οΈ

πŸ“† PATREON
As some are already aware, there was a recent theft issue of the adoptable base templates I offer as rewards to my Character Creator and Sticker Hoarder tiers in late April. As part of the action necessary to mitigate the situation, April's adoptable base rewards needed to be individually delivered to patrons - inevitably stirring a backlog across my inbox and work that I am still presently handling.

Β· As a precautionary measure, the Character Creator tier has been limited.
Β· Patrons of the Sticker Hoarder tiers will continue to see their delayed April rewards return to them into this week, with all April rewards fulfilled by Friday, May 9. May rewards for the Sticker Hoarder tiers have already begun to go out.
Β· Patrons of the aforementioned tiers should refer to this update post for instructions on how to obtain adoptable base templates during the month of May.

PATREON PAUSE
My Patreon will be paused starting in June for my scheduled summer pause. Patrons will not be billed their monthly pledges starting June 1, and no new rewards will be issued. While my Patreon is scheduled to resume September 1, it is likely my Patreon will be paused for the remainder of 2024. I will be revisiting this in late August and informing patrons of any changes. Patrons will not be billed their monthly pledge amount during any month that my Patreon is paused.

πŸ’¬ COMMUNICATIONS
Due to last month's Patreon issue, this has staggered email correspondence. This may necessitate additional time for responses. I will continue to work to handle incoming emails at the earliest convenience, my deepest apologies for this delay.

✏️ COMMISSIONS AND OWED WORK
Regretfully, the above mentioned issue has imposed a stall regarding the progress of owed work and commissions. At this time I have made adjustments to my schedule to ensure adequate time is set aside daily for Patreon, emails, and owed work on my working days [Monday through Friday].

An additional column has been temporarily added to my Trello: Update Requested. While incoming requests for updates are marked accordingly in my inbox, this serves to assure those clients that that their request has been acknowledged - even if I cannot respond to their email right away. Updates will be issued as emails are responded to chronologically. This column will be removed in June when my Patreon is paused, ergo negating the need for it. My Trello is available here.

While updates and completed work will be slow in May, there will be a scheduled surge of completed works and updates going out in June.

🎨 ART FIGHT 2024
With July fast approaching, I want to add my annual reminder regarding Art Fight:
I will be continuously working on owed art throughout the month of July while I participate in the annual online art game. Owed work will not be neglected in favour of this event. Clients are more than welcome to reach out to me at godbirdart@gmail.com if they have questions or concerns regarding their owed work.

For those unaware of what Art Fight is, please visit their website here.
I am in no way affiliated with or sponsored by Art Fight, this is merely an event I enjoy participating in.

βœ‰οΈ As always if anyone has questions or concerns: please do not hesitate to reach out to me at godbirdart@gmail.com. I am in office Monday through Friday weekly. Please note I may require additional time to respond throughout the month of May. Email correspondence will return to normal in the month of June as I will not be handling Patreon rewards or emails over the summer.

Thank you, everyone!
