For those of you who watch our Trello, it may look a little different right now than you're used to seeing. We've officially undersketched every piece in our normal queue, therefore the undersketch queue is going unused for now. The Current Patreon Progress list has been added to avoid clogging up Lines/Flats/Shading until it's complete. The Line queue is where you can now find a progress schedule by date, including days off and Patreon streams. Flats will be worked consistently as is feasible, understanding that our colorist wears many hats for the studio, some of which do not involve actual pen-to-tablet art time but are very much required duties. This should not hold things up any more than it ever has.

As you can see from a quick glance at the queue, We are on task to have all normal queue orders lined by Christmas, and completion should follow extremely quickly after that. This means we should be able to re-open commissions on the new system around the beginning of January. Barring anything unforeseen, we definitely think the first week of January is a very educated guess as to when you can expect daily slots to start becoming available.

For anyone who wants notified personally when comms re-open, feel free to drop a comment below!

For anyone who is looking for Christmas-type pieces, the best route to take would be pledging to our Patreon and attempting to buy in stream during one of our 2 monthly commission streams. December streams will be held on the 8th and 19th, and they are available to anyone pledging $3 or more per month. Our December Patreon rewards are scheduled for completion just after Christmas, so those aren't the best method of getting holiday pieces completed prior to Dec 25. However, if you're simply looking for something to be completed during December, rather than waiting for the new system, our art rewards start at the $20 pledge tier.

They began drafting December pledges overnight, so it is safe to pledge without any risk of a double payment at this time.

The queue format will likely change again once we are on the new system, but we haven't quite figured out exactly what that will look like just yet. So, don't get too used to this format, but we hope it will be as helpful and communicative as possible in the interim.

Thanks for bearing with us during this push toward a new horizon. We're greatly looking forward to being back in action with new comms in the new year. We think the system we're transitioning to will prove exceptionally beneficial to both us and our clients, and we can't wait to roll it out for y'all officially.

Hoping this December is finding you safe and well. Lots of love from us to you and yours this winter. Thank you again for all the support!
