Some finished icons + Patreon/General update!

Hello all! Just wanted to share with you my latest batch of Wiggle icons, as well as some general Patreon/other project updates :>

🐱 Patreon Updates 🐱My Patreon is now properly integrated with Discord, so new members can now automatically join without having to use an invite link! (So some of you may have been automatically added to the server, feel free to leave if you don't wanna join the server) I feel ready to run a Patreon server again, but I'm gonna do my best to keep on top of things and I may remove Discord access again in the future if it's too overwhelming (you'll be able to stay in the server if I do, it would just become inaccessible to new members again)

New RewardsYou will now get notified before everyone else about new limited merch releases, so you'll have a higher chance to grab them before they sell out! Spoiler: I have some left over HMiA shirts that I'll be putting up on my Ko-Fi shop some time next week, so for example I'll share the link with you guys before sharing it with the public :>

I'll also let you guys know about commission openings before everyone else from now on! Plus you guys get priority in my queue, so if you order a commission from me, I'll work on + complete it earlier than the rest of my queue.Catto Supporter RewardsIf you're part of my higher tier, you get even more priority in my commissions queue!I'm also gonna be periodically sharing animation/art files with this tier, like .CSP or After Effects files of animations from my videos, so you can look at all the individual frames/layers from some of my animations :> I'll make a separate post soon with some project files from my last video!

I've been wanting to update my Patreon rewards for a while but I've always found it a bit tricky to find some that are both not too overwhelming for me & also things people would be interested in, if there's anything else you'd like to see me offer please feel free to share in the comments <3

🐱 Commissions/Adopts 🐱3 new adoptable character designs I made in collaboration with Smeril are now up on my Ko-Fi! We also have another batch of 6 fox-like designs in the works that will also be added soon :>

I also currently have 1 wiggle icon slot open, I've been taking these in small batches as I complete them, so they're usually done within a few days!

I've also been considering re-opening some "Pay What You Want" slots or maybe offering "badge" style character art, but I'm still thinking about it. If there are any types of comms you'd like to see me offer I'm always open to suggestions :DI've been thinking about moving to Vgen rather than Ko-Fi, since its a lot more artist-friendly. So I may do a trial period sometime soon to figure out if I wanna make that switch.🐱 New Shirt Design WIP 🐱The final image is a preview of the design I've been working on for HanaCon (the next convention I'll be attending), the con itself has a lot of sakura tree theming so I've been thinking of making a Chip out of cherry blossoms, I've also been trying to challenge myself to keep it to just one colour (pink) but I might give in and add in some white lol I think that'll be nice for some contrast/details.

🐱 Next Video Progress 🐱I've started planning the visuals for the road trip part 4 video (I tend to switch between drawing an animatic/just typing my ideas depending on what my brain feels like, this time it's text lol), aiming to plan at least half of it so I can start drawing the actual visuals on stream tomorrow

🐱 Super Chipflake Ü 🐱 The game is on sale on Nintendo Switch in Europe right now, until April 12th! We wanted the sale to run at the same time as the Steam sale and also worldwide, but Nintendo is annoying :'DThe next content update is still in the works, without spoiling too much new 3D models are being worked on right now 👀 I'll let you guys know as soon as I have more info about the estimated release date for the content update, in the meantime quality-of-life/bug fixes are still being worked on & released periodically, you can follow updates on those in the SalsaShark Discord server

Other random things I've been working on include some graphics for my convention booths, since I've been wanting to redesign how I set everything up to make it more colourful & less cluttered (I didn't wanna spam this post with too many images but I can share these with you too if you'd like!), and I'm hoping to find some time to record some new videos for my German channel, since I got a couple of cool ideas that shouldn't take too much time to record/edit :>Ty for reading! As I've said before I wanna share updates/previews with you guys more frequently, maybe weekly or every 2 weeks? I don't wanna spam you :'D Have an awesome week!
