PATREON UPDATE (PLEASE READ!!)
🕑 Added 2024-08-27 19:52:41 +0000 UTCHey everyone, so as you may have noticed, I kinda fell off the face of the earth, this was simply just do to intense burnout of multiple years of art grinding colliding with the increasing stressful need to keep myself financially afloat. Simply put, continuously doing art commissions and whatnot one after the other non stop in an endless pipeline was really stressful, and I often fell behind and would take months to catch up. I decided to pause Patreon for a few months in order to take a break for my mental health and while I'm not entirely ready to come back and will not be coming back with the same intensity, I have very important things we need to talk about.
First off, it has come to my attention TODAY that Patreon was not actually entirely paused for the past 2 months which I has assumed it was because I hadn't received any billing notifications that I normally receive. I apologize for this greatly as I cannot offer refunds for this period as refunding that money entirely would financially ruin me. However, I do not want this period to be unrewarded for higher tier members, so ANY VIP MEMBERS WHO I OWE SKETCHES TO SHOULD IMMEDIATELY CONTACT ME WITH THE SKETCHES I OWE THEM PREVIOUSLY AND FOR SKETCHES I OWE THEM DURING THIS TWO MONTH PERIOD. Alternatively, I'm offering a full color, lined and rendered drawing if you would rather have that over the sketches. VIP members have supported me greatly and been very patient with me and I do not intend to leave that unrewarded, all art you are owed will be given to you.
As for members of the sticker club tiers although I do not have the time or resources to create entirely brand new stickers to send out to you, I will offer to send you an envelope with three exclusive stickers that I have never sent out before and that I do not sell anywhere else, this would be a Princess Bubblegum sticker, a Flame Princess sticker, and a Gwen Ben 10 sticker. If you would like to receive an envelope for these stickers, please contact me IMMEDIATELY through Patreon or Discord and I will get the stickers to you soon.
I deeply apologize for the time I've been gone, I just simply couldn't handle the mounting pressure to survive off of art anymore. After I've gotten everything in order in terms of the make up rewards, I will continue to post any art I do here as early access and other basic rewards for those who still wish to support my art. However, after this I will be discontinuing both Sketch rewards and Sticker Club. This is due to the immense amount of time that each of these rewards take up which further put me behind, hand writing 40+ letters and printing and cutting 40+ stickers including designing them on top of my normal commission work AND 5+ sketches every months was just so exhausting and left little time for personal work or growth. If you no longer wish to offer support to me then that is totally fine, I just think for my own mental health and healthy work ethic, offering this patreon as more of a tip jar with small perks would be much less stressful to me overall.
Thank you for reading and all of your support

While it is sad that you're ending the sticker tier your well being is more important. I would like the sticker pack

Part of the sticker club here, I’d like mine 3 pack. Thanks for all the great stuff, I appreciate all of it and I’m glad you’ll be taking things easier! Burnout is never worth it
