Update: New chapters!
Posted a month agoHey everyone, I don't normally make announcements, but I am excited to let you know about new things coming for me very soon.
The first part of the month I visited my Partner Kay and we were apartment hunting.
I'd like to say that we have been approved to a place with a move in day of October 14th.
I'm beyond excited to close the distance and be with her after half a year of long distance relationship and making several trips this year alone.
I appreciate you all supporting me through my times of absence and my delayed workflow and hectic schedules to open commissions and finish the work I have since March.
I hope when things settle down after the move, I can consistently open for small projects and get a better workflow and schedual going for streams and continuing on my own projects. Life just comes at you in different ways to mess with your plans and everything.
In the meantime, I would greatly appreciate the continued support and new support if you appreciate my work and want to help with the move.
You can support my Patreon, where the highest tier I can draw a character of yours much like many other Gem Master rewards you can find in my gallery.
https://www.patreon.com/c/purplelemons
Or you can buy a print or two from my etsy store! I love to make physical prints of my work to share to others and I've passed 2300 sales so far since I opened my store!

Thank you guys and thank you for letting me continue the art journey and bringing more art to the wonderful furry community :)

Plans for 2024
Posted 2 years agoCheck out the original journal on patreon: https://www.patreon.com/posts/95282877
Hey guys! it's been some time since a update!
I just wanted to update some ideas and things that will happen for next year.
I hope your 2023 has been well.
It has certainly been filled with great challenge for me.
I am looking to try and be more positive and keep doing artwork that I am motivated by for 2024.
The year of the dragon! 🐉
Content to expect:
I will continue the monthly poll for patreon voted characters!
Keep in mind if you suggest a character, my plan is to also make them a print for my store over on etsy. So it may be complicated asking for OC's of other creators because some might not want me selling their character. But it is no big deal if I make them more of an event for something special. Just wanted to share what I usually do with the monthly characters! I have a list of options for the poll, and I do look at the ideas/suggestions over on my discord if people have a character they would like to see. You guys give me great ideas!
I will still continue the comic. Slow and Steady, but my goal for the end of next year is to finish this part! We are almost halfway to where I expect a finish for Chapter 2 is. I hope you enjoy how the story progresses.
I will be resetting the supporter page for January so that active supporters are displayed, but will stay there for the whole year. It was cumbersome to update it every month, taking a lot of energy. So I think it's best if I just add to it until the end of the year.
NEW
I have been dabbling with the idea of bringing back the Patreon exclusive sketches for supporters. But in a better way. I am thinking about doing a sort of Token System. I would basically pick 2-3 characters from the Oracle($20) Tier each month and make a simple full character Pic of your lovely OC's or whomever you'd like. I would treat these pics as warm-ups for my normal works. I think this would be a nice bonus for supporters so I can fill the time between projects to keep practice and keep me on the right track. If you reach 5 tokens I will prioritize your suggestion/character.
I would send out a Patreon post to that tier to collect your submissions each month (If you want to change, you would have to resubmit). I would also keep track of who has tokens via spreadsheet on my end. I have noticed some people change their names on Patreon, or have different names on discord and other places, so keep in mind I will record the name from Patreon.
If you do not submit to the form, you will not get a chance for this, but your token will still be applied. Tokens will reset If I select your character.
I would love to hear your guys thoughts.
I want to test more ideas for physical items.
Eventually I wouldf love to make a book collecting my journey of artworks that would be nice to flip through. I don't think it would be this year, but I have been investigating ways of how I would do it. For now I will make another Artpack for Gumroad for 2022 and 2023 since those years have not been put into a pack up there.
I want to also make another Standee as well as a Daki of one of my characters, which character would you be interested in the most?
I need to add a few more prints to the Etsy shop as well. So those will be added next month to keep updated. The convention has made it a little slow to put new stuff up there!
Etsy Shop
I have been keeping a streaming schedule pretty well for a few month now. it is nice to see a lot of you regularly. I may end up changing my streaming schedule around to test what times work best. If I can I would also like to try Twitch sometime too.

FAQ:
Will your commissions come back soon?
The last time I opened was in May I think. I took a bunch of work because of an emergancy that overloaded me while I was grieving so it was exhausting to work on. I will open again for bigger projects in the future, but I want to do smaller things to get me in good habits to draw with good vibes again... That's why I think a sort of token system will be nice because I can slowly get back into good habits to work for others. Currently I have only been taking smaller projects from people. My dm's are open if you are curious, but officially I always announce when I open to take more work. :)
Will you be attending more conventions in 2024?
If I can get a table or a way to sell my work, yes. if not, no. Unfortunately conventions need to step up when they tell their guests if they are accepted or not. Applications only open for a few days at most months before the date of the convention. I would have loved to go to a local convention, but I have missed deadlines for applications.
It is hard, but I will always announce when I am accepted and going to these types of events.
Have you been doing well?
Yes and no, it has been challenging managing life now. I am one person trying to fit my place in the world and everyone's support has made me feel like I should keep going. I am very grateful to all the kind people who have lifted me up and supported me through this year.
Can I hug Satomi?
Careful, she might bite you! (she loves hugs)
That's all I have for now, thanks for reading!
Happy Holidays and a Happy New Year!

Important Life Update
Posted 2 years agoHello everyone.
I'm here with sad news.
My mother ended up passing away on Feb 08.
I am left to deal with the aftermath of what comes next, and am unable to continue my regular schedule for my work at this time.
There are a few artworks I can still share that I havn't posted yet, but there is a lot of stuff I need to figure out the rest of the month as well as next month.
The experience for me now is finding pieces of what's left, paying for services, and managing finances. It's so much and so costly, that I haven't been able to pick up my tablet pen.
I will continue normal rewards and get back to regular art when things seem a little better. I will also do a make up for the arts still voted as winners, at least it will keep giving me a goal and something to do. I will try to do them in the month won, but it's very hard to do everything on my own.
The best way to support is to continue supporting on Patreon, or consider purchasing a print from my store.

Patreon Image Suggestions
Posted 5 years agoI've opened up Suggestions for June's Patreon image! Anyone at the $5 tier or higher can suggest an idea for a larger image I do each month.
Any Patreon can vote for the options I choose, and any previous entries are archived for future options.
click and support my work -- https://www.patreon.com/purplelemons
The suggestions are a way I can be more involved with you guys that support me!
They can be either fanart suggestions, or my own characters.
I hope I can reach enough support to where I can do 2 large images per month from Patreon from suggestions! :)
Other perks -
You can get priority commission requests for commission inquiries. Applies to stream commissions as well.
I am working on a comic to tell some of the story of my characters Kumiho and Satomi that will be released to Patreon first
You also can see WIP of current projects that can show some of my process and ideas
I hope you consider supporting me and my work!

Oracle Patreon Tier
Posted 5 years agoI still have some slots open for my Sketch tier over on patreon if anyone is interested!
Pretty much it's the same as a Stream sketch commission but is assured to be done within the month.
https://www.patreon.com/purplelemons
Also consider supporting if you can! I post my commission work there first for patreons to see and I also have monthly suggestions where you can submit an idea at $5 or above and then any patreon can vote for a bigger illustration I do each month!
Your support means a lot to me and it keeps me working hard, :)

Patreon Updates 2020
Posted 5 years agoHi everyone, I have updated the rewards for patreons this month!
Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/purplelemons
The new things i'm going to be doing are:
-Monthly Suggestion 1 image per month
Any $5+ Patreon can suggest an idea or theme for me to make an image that month.
Ideas will be put into a poll that any patreon can vote on.
This way you guys can decide what kind of content I'll make each month!
- Content viewed early.
I've been posting my content to Patreon first, at least a week before posting it online.
Any patreon level can view my work early.
-$5+ patreons get sneak peeks at my own personal project - Sight.
I've always wanted to make my own project, and with patreon support I can make that a reality!
-All Patreons can get priority commission slots.
When I open commissions, Patreons will be considered first for them.
Future things I want to do:
If I can get $400 per month backing, I'd like to do 2 images per month for patreon voting.
I am considering doing a sketch tier for patreons, just havn't figured out the price point.
Thank you again for the support and liking/sharing my work with others!

Crazy Neighbor 3
Posted 11 years agoHey guys, my neighbor did it again.
3 days ago she came over and was choking my dog, and trying to stop me from going to school, saying that "school is abusive" and that she needs to "save me for my mom" then she mentioned that she had keys to my house asking if I wanted them back.
She left me another note, this time in my mailbox
http://imgur.com/tIO6ojr
I called her brother and asked for the keys back, and he couldn't find them. I called my dad and he said we might've gotten them back a year or two ago. I'm a little scared right now.
I know I need to call the po po, but my neighbor says he has it under control and my dad keeps telling me to give her another chance(this is the third time, so i'm a little mad) If this happens again, I am calling the police without telling anyone :(
