Technically Two Updates In One

Hello, ladies, gentlemen and folks! AreKayHen here!

Today, I have some important updates to share with you at this time. Whether or not there are two or four updates here, you'll have to figure that out yourself.

1a: Policies

On pencilartiststudio.carrd.co, I have written new policies related to my stance on fan art, reposting, Generative AI/crypto blockchains and more to foster understanding between myself and the community around me. I am considering updating this later on if it needs to be that way, so I highly recommend checking them every so often, in https://pencartstudio.carrd.co/#policies.

1b: Birthday Week

Written in the Fan Art policy is an invitation for you to make fan art of my characters, specifically for my birthday, between the 17th and 23rd of every May. That way, if you won't or can't quite publish your fan art EXACTLY on my birthday, you'll have a buffer of a few days, before and after! (Not that I won't appreciate your fan art after the 23rd or before the 17th, I just like to make things special in this somewhat mundane life.)

1c: Characters List

Speaking of characters, this is an update related with the previous two I am especially proud of myself.

If you haven't seen the Resources page on my official website (specifically https://pencartstudio.carrd.co/#resources), there is a Google Sheets file that shows off what characters I've made and what qualities they have. Since I didn't update it much, I jokingly wrote that this sheet "...will toooootally be updated regularly." 

Well, not too long ago, I decided to update it. (Also, my mistake, while updating it, I discovered I only made 100+ characters.)

Using newfound expertise on Google Sheets, I have added to and improved it for easier changeability and understanding (not to mention visual improvement). This new version included the qualities of The Cognition, my newest OCs, a maximum rating of each character in terms of fan art tolerance and whether or not I have a strong connection with/a burning need to draw the characters I have made.

If you want to see the newest design and information of this Google Sheet, you can find it under https://pencartstudio.carrd.co/#my-characters for easier access/recognizability or, if you want to, the previous link found in this update. 

2: A New Deal

Starting on the 26th of April, I am happy to announce a new deal for commissioners, "The Prime Priority Deal"! With this deal, your commission is expected to be done sooner than later for only twice the price of the art styles and techniques I provide. Of course, additional terms and conditions apply in this new deal, but I still think it's a pretty good deal nevertheless.

Thank you so much for reading these updates if you have done so. See you later!
