Now bottom line is, Patreon needs to bring $200 minimum so i can pay my rent. Since patreon pay is uneven, that might not happen. I really hate asking for money and im still breaking even, but only over the course of the entire month... Part five in Replies!

I have since tightened up my spending as hard as I possibly can. Asking my Grandma and and my mum for help so i have been able to cut down costs as much as possible. I dont like this FYI. I dont enjoy leeching of others. but it allows me to earn pennies Part three in Replies!

It's nothing to worry about a lot. Needs to be Said tho. I mentioned months ago while I was still climbing out of the negatives that I had a certain amount of money left before I'd have to call it quits. i was sitting at about $800 when i split even. Part two in Replies!

Thank you once again to Calypso for commissioning me! This is Maki! the fox girl persona of our little discord bot that likes to chime in and level us up at some of the craziest of moments, so naturally we gave her that little cheeky type personality.

GG-Dungeon Fortunately GG-Dungeon has far less characters, so no cleanup is needed yet. Project still running buttery smooth. So I got right to the next shot! Which has already been completed. Part 4 in replies

Aura Thorsta @aura-thorsta.bsky.social · 15/09/2026

GG-Meet Bit of a slow update. As since those first shots are completed, I created a fresh copy of the project. This means I don't have anything particularly exciting to show. Just know, behind the scenes I did a lot. But the next shot is ready to go! Part 3 in replies!

CR 9 - OBJECTION This one has been long anticipated by my patreons It was voted by them that they would enjoy renders that aren't always giantess focused. So here is a first try at something different. A moment from the server. Caly and I have a tendency to get on huge debates.

Aura Thorsta @aura-thorsta.bsky.social · 09/09/2026

GG-Dungeon The shot I've been struggling with is complete! The little details (face, hair, cape, etc); done and rendered! We can now move onto the next shot! ^^ Full detailed post here: aurathorsta.newgrounds.com/news/post/16...
