Bad news. I apologize for not being able to deliver the work on time.
🕑 Added 2024-06-14 06:31:18 +0000 UTCI must inform you that in the past 2-3 months, many unfortunate events have occurred, mostly not good (and quite bad, to be honest).
I have been confirmed for Comiket 104 (in August) and have to prepare heavily for it as I will be selling both old and new merchandise there.
Previously, my partner fell seriously ill (with an infection), and family + financial issues have slightly delayed my work.
The problems persist; my computer usage has been progressively slowing down, initially attributed to excessive files.
Not long ago, Patreon SollyzGallery got banned, leaving me feeling terrible, although I've been trying to contact support (with no response for 3 days now).
Just a few days ago, my HDD was constantly at 100% workload, and files from the current month got corrupted. Luckily, I had backups, so I intended to finish the work before repairing.
However, things took a serious turn when my PC wouldn't boot up, with problems including water leakage, machine sync, and overheating, rendering me unable to work.
I got a new computer, but the shop notified me that one of the HDDs was close to failure, and it turned out to be the drive containing all my work.
I've tried to recover files as much as possible (but it's not enough). I'm sorry... Some works are lost forever (though they can still be repurchased on the SollyzStore&gumroad, but I can't edit them anymore...).
I feel really sad right now. Fortunately, I managed to salvage some of the latest work (although some layers were error without knowing the reason). I sincerely apologize.
The rewards for June-August will be delayed, but please trust me; I'll try my best (will try to keep updating the progress continuously).
So, from July to September onwards, there will be slight changes in the work (mini reward). However, I have some ideas and hope that supporters (5$ and up) can participate in suggesting. I'll inform you again after entering July.

Sorry you gotta go through all that; I hope the future is a lot smoother for you! And I'm sure whatever you can manage will be great when it's ready, so no worries about the delays! Your work is always great, so it's worth waiting for!

Thank you for the update/info about your situation. I am really sorry for you, especially about losing files. I've lost years of artworks I was working on in the past due to hard drive corruption so I share your feeling. Don't let it break your spirit. Art is a passion before anything else and you need to enjoy it. Most of us will surely understand the delays so don't worry about that. You must take care of your mental health and don't burn yourself out.

Sorry to hear all of the bad news! But as long as you're still able to continue forward, try not to let the bad overcome the good! And while I know you don't like delaying Patreon rewards, I'm sure most of us are fine with you devoting most of your time on Comiket. Hang in there!
