Update Status
So, as some of you may have read regarding the worsening of my shoulder pain, I had to stop suicide-week partway in. I hated doing this, but I don't think I'd have survived the week had I continued. However, I will postpone suicide week for a later date when I have a decent buffer going on! It may not be for a while, but I promise there will be one eventually! We'll count the 3 pages that went up last week as make-ups for previously missed updates.
As a result of my shoulder pain going to bad levels, I have had to put off some other things like the Twinpocalypse prologue. However, I hope to get this done ASAP-the streams will not be rescheduled even if the prologue is late.
And to those who responded to my post about my shoulder- thanks so much. Your concern, understanding, and support is greatly appreciated!
Buffer Status
Whoops.
Patreon Updates!
Once again- a huge thanks to all the Patrons this month! You guys are -awesome-! You have no idea how much it means to me!
Anyway, I'm still balancing Patreon work this month, but I'm starting to get a better idea on the workload. For the time being I'm removing the monthly commission raffle until I can catch up on older art- but once I'm caught up, I'll get that back up.
To Patrons: Please don't forget to communicate with me regarding postcard/requests prior to the 1st of each month! It makes things easier for me in the long run!
- Monthly Postcard
I'll be mailing out postcards tomorrow. Unless you specify otherwise, all eligible patrons will get The Sand Queen card. If you want a different postcard, PLEASE tell me ASAP. I will be writing addresses/stamping cards late tonight. Below is a picture of this month's card!
- Monthly Desktop
The August 2016 desktop is currently not ready. However, it will be sent out to all processed Patrons as soon as it's done. Feel free to suggest ideas for the image if you'd like!
- Request Stream
The August Request Stream will be sometime between the 20th and 29th. I'll put a hesitant date up on the calendar, but it is subject to change.
- Monthly Art Request
Patrons of the $10 tier and up get a monthly simple art/sketch request. $15 tier requests will be in color. Please let me know what you want me to draw ASAP!

Livestreams
Weekly art streams will continue to take place on Thursdays starting at 7-8 PM. The streams have typically been going for 3-5 hours.
Do note that this is just the weekly time for the summer break period. I may adjust in the fall as my school schedule changes around. Weekends will be more predictable then, so it's likely they'll move to Sundays for the fall. Also note that I may have random streams for whenever I feel like it. These random ones will not effect the weekly Thursday streams.
Look below at the schedule for a full list of planned streams/movie nights/updates.

*Twinpocalypse is the Soullink Nuzlocke with Robin. The stream dates are subject to change since we haven't finalized anything quite yet. An update schedule for Twinpocalypse Comic Pages has yet to be determined.
**These Request Streams are for Patreon people, however, we've got at least one Patron person who gives his request turns to whoever during the stream- so everyone has an opportunity for requests. The Open Request Nights are for anyone.
***I'll be home during these two streams. My schedule when I'm home is incredibly unpredictable and I may or may not have to cancel these as a result.

PRS Update Status
Just a quick status on updates here.
I know I missed last week- and I'm already late on the Tuesday update. I could have had an update ready for Tuesday, actually- but a few weeks ago I had decided on something for the Tuesday updates.
As some of you may be aware, the Tuesday updates are supplied via Patreon goals. Right now, there's enough awesomeness from the Patrons that I owe one Tuesday update each month- typically on the third week. Nothing I can't handle, really. Not when it comes to normal updates, anyway. But this month's Patreon update (I think I'll call the Tuesday ones that from now on) is a bit different than my usual Friday pages.
Starting this month, the Patreon updates will be remakes of older pages. Why? To up the quality of existing pages, edit a few things, and get everything up to a higher-resolution. This way, in the event that I ever choose to print, I can (I don't think I will though). I may make some minor changes to the story or dialogue- but nothing that should require everyone to re-read through the remade pages. The only notable change currently planned is Alvira now being an Alolan Ninetales instead of a shiny. Some remade pages might condense multiple pages into one and change the total page count- I have no plans to do that, but it might happen if I think it'll work better than way.
Again: I have no plans on major changes to the story. Not reading the remade pages should not effect the reading of future pages. However, should I add anything new or change anything of note, I will definitely make sure there is an announcement.
Now, don't get the wrong idea- the page remakes shouldn't take long. Heck, the part that slows me down most is scripting and just thinking of how to draw each scene. Since this is mostly already done (save some minor changes) the new pages should be easy to make and not take too much time from new pages. THAT SAID: The current page I'm working on is taking forever. Haha. I know, I know. I just said the remakes won't take long... but I'm working on the new PRS cover. That's important, yes? I've got a few WIP shots on Patreon already. It should be done tomorrow night if nothing explodes.
As for Friday's update... I've got it sketched out and ready to line/color- but depending on how long it takes to shade the new cover page, I might not get it done tomorrow. I won't be able to art on Thursday/Friday and possibly a few days after that since I'll be getting some tests on my eyes that may or may not make it painful to look at bright screens for a while. Long story short: My last visit to get my eyes checked revealed that the birthmark on my eye has gotten a tiny bit bigger. This of course freaks everyone out and now they want to run a billion tests to make sure it's nothing to worry about. The last tests were in January before my trip overseas. I'm not sure how invasive the next tests will be. If I don't have Friday's update ready tomorrow, I'll make it up with last Friday's over the next two weeks.
Sorry for this insanity!
Oh, and I lied. I do have plans for changes in the remake. Big plans. In the form of an extended prologue. You'll still get the Kabutops vs Entei scene. Just maybe a bit more. =P
