I actually just uploaded a preview for Patrons of the new sprites that will be in for 0.10.0 (the next release that will be out tomorrow for Patrons if all goes to plan—but it may get pushed by a day). That preview will go public the day after and then the 0.10.0 release (or a minor patch thereof) will be public as of the 31st.
Now we have those done, we'll be starting to work on the first custom scene artwork, which I'm sure people are looking forward to.
I'm also looking at getting a second artist lined up, given the growth of the Patreon, it may be necessary to alternate to get artwork done faster. Obviously that'll only be possible if there is enough income to pay them both, but we saw a lot of Patrons signing up, so I want to be ready if that continues.
