Hello my doves! <3<3
So... my iPad is, for lack of better words, broken ദ്ദി ꒦ິ꒳꒦ິ ) she still turns on but is absolutely on her last legs, extremely glitchy and will barely charge without getting so hot! I'm fortunate that all of my files (including my procreate files!) are backed up onto the iCloud, but right now I don't really have a way to work on those files reliably in order to finish up the artwork before I can publish the May wallpaper & icon bundles. I've had a bit of a panic about this over the past 48 hours because letting you all down with delayed uploads makes me really really upset with myself! I am honestly surprised that in 6 years of Oakfrogs we've never had a technical issue like this that has prevented me from uploading in time, I'm praying that this is the one and only time this happens!!
What does this mean for you?
✤ For anyone who remains part of the patreon family into June, you will receive the may + june bundle completely as normal, published here and also delivered to you via email once the may + june bundles are available! A little late, but still delivered to you as normal <3
✤ For anyone who leaves the patreon family at the end of May, do not fret one bit - you will still get every single thing that your patronage payed for!! I will personally direct message you (via patreon) and also email a link to the may bundle to everyone in this position. It might be a little late, but you will still receive absolutely everything <3
"What even is the May - and June - theme?!" we all chant
I'm so sorry my doves, I swear that I don't intend to be 'secretive' about the monthly themes, there just doesn't seem to be a great place to reveal it - when I make a patreon post it is emailed to a few hundred of you lovely people and it feels scary doing that just to say 'hey, this isn't art, just me telling you the theme of the month - sorry for the notification~'. I should definitely start making a monthly 'announcement' in our discord when the theme is chosen by a winning poll. I will make sure to do that every month going forwards!! You can join our discord here for lots of updates but also just a community of the sweetest funniest loveliest most gorgeous people in the entire world: https://discord.gg/NPfeMYdaDU
The theme(s) for May are: Bookshop and Library!!!! + lots more !!!!
The 'library' theme is a 'dark academia', semi-gothic bookish theme with expansive shelves of books, decorations, ornate picture frames, candles, a whimsical and fantastical feel and also a tonneeeeeeee of miscellaneous icons (for all popular app logos and utilities) that can be used with any theme!!
The 'bookshop' theme is a soft 'light academia' inspired bookish theme with shelves of books, decorations, cute animals that own the bookshop, and also a tonneeeeeeee of miscellaneous icons (for all popular app logos and utilities) that can be used with any theme!!
✤ Both themes will be similar but have completely different color schemes. A book on the shelf in the 'bookshop' theme might look like something you'd be able to buy from a bookshop today, and the 'library' theme will have books that seem to be a little bit more archaic, with intricate spines that might be found in a second hand store, or even in a wizards tower~
✤ Both themes will contain a bunch of icons, widgets and wallpapers that belong specifically to the bookish theme, but they will both also come with 500+ icons that can be used with other bundles or separately!
The theme for June is: Medieval Fantasy 2.0!!
Bigger and better than ever, this is not just an expansion pack but is an entirely new fantasy inspired bundle. The colors will match medieval fantasy 1.0 so that the themes can be combined seamlessly, however this bundle will contain so much more than the first bundle!! Plus, I will be creating app icons for all popular app logos and utilities (over 500 of them) in the style and color of the medieval fantasy bundle!! June is my birthday month, and this will be the biggest bundle I've ever made so far, as a gift to you all <3
My goal is also complete the procreate brush bundle by the end of June!! <3
Sorry for the long rambling post, even though I'm telling myself I'm calm about my ipad + the May bundle being delayed, I'm sure you can tell from my writing that I'm a little panicky. I really am sorry about this, I promise to make up for the delays with some excellent artwork for you as soon as I am able to get my iPad either fixed up or replaced, which hopefully won't be long!!
Thank you so much for being here, seriously. I cannot wait to continue making this patreon community cosier and cosier, and including more goodies for you each month. I know it's easy to say this, but i truly appreciate you, so, so, so much. I am cosmically grateful to be a part of your world, I honestly cannot put it into words, 'grateful' doesn't begin to come close. If you are reading this right now, you are stunning & so so cool
Love you ALWAYS, Bunny <3<3
