WIP 50% Elizabeth Bathory Brave (November 2016's Batch) + Paypal Rant...
🕑 Added 2017-02-20 08:02:40 +0000 UTC I took literally 3 whole working days lining this...I need to drop the quality down a bit for the next batch or I'm doomed for stucking in this eternity loop of delayed workloads T T
I kept fixing this here and there and it'd never end. I tried to make the line not so clean (and it'd give a better feels to it too) but I can't, ended up making the whole pic looks as clean as possible.
That's one thing, and Paypal also gave me hard time. Suddenly there's an email sending to me from Paypal saying I've reached "treshold limit" of using Paypal and I need to submit proof of identity and address or my account will be limited.
So I submitted my ID card and household regristration, but it was rejected saying I need to submit proof of address in English and it must be released within 6 months so I went to the bank to get the bank statement and submitted again. The system said they'd come back to me within "a few business day."
20 days passed, and nothing. During that period, everytime I used Paypal for anything, there will be an email sending to me asking me to "Confirm Identity" which I can't since I already submitted them. The given link even lead me to the proof submission page which said I already submitted all the required documents and there was no option for me to resubmit anything.
I have sent emails to Paypal and contacted them via their Help Center 5 times and every time I did, they just sent me an automatically generated email which didn't help resolving anything... It's so frustrating. All the effort went into writing emails explaining stuffs and requesting helps from them were gone in vain. They didn't even bother reading them.
I figured I had to reach them by calling, but their office is in Singapore and I'm required to make an overseas call, which my cell phone is not registered for that. I had to go for the phone's service provider and got them to register my number for overseas call. It's such a mess. One thing lead to another over and over. I finally called them and had them fixing the cache and had me resubmitted the documents again. They said they will still need some time. 3 days have passed now and they still haven't contacted me back. I'm so upset with it...
TL;DR Paypal gave me cancer.
Sorry for the rant guys. It's just... This month is not my month I guess. So many stupid things happened.

Fuya's drawing getting better and sexier

I wanted to try Payoneer, but the fact that Paypal could be used on various sites now is kinda a must have.

Apparently they don't have any office branch in my country, so I had to directly call their HQ.

Yo Fuya, I had similar experience with PayPal. Their customer service is F*CKING TERRIBLE. Over a month I tried to solve the issue with them and they were unable to. So in the end, I have frozen/deleted my old account and CREATED NEW ONE! Or you could try switching to alternative like Payoneer.

Look-up the Paypal contact phone-number for your country on the official Paypal site ... call their staff and talk to them. I had similar issue years ago, and calling them did solve my issue.

I want to accept the delay as it is, but it's crippling me. Right now I can't draw anything aside from the rewards. There're so many things I want to just draw for fun and that would delay the work furthermore. You know, new animes, new trending stuffs going on in twitter and pixiv, but I can't join the train and resulting in missed opportunities. Some of the promised rewards are currently outdated characters so it's kinda weird releasing them now, but I still have to. You get the idea. If this keeps going on, it's gonna poison my commercial artist career somehow. I wanted to get some assistant on lining. May be I really should, but really, the very best thing I want to try the most is to drop some quality. I could even add some quantity to it. I'm actually fond of going rough-ish colored works but I gained fame from doing clean arts, so it's risky to give it a try, and I feel like promised patreon rewards the people already paid for aren't things that should be experimented on.

Hi Fuya, sorry to hear you have trouble with PayPal and it seems you had bad luck with the people working on your inquiry, I hope it gets resolved soon. T_T If it`s any consolation to you I’am really looking forward to your Elizabeth drawing and I’am thankful for your effort and dedication to detail which makes all your pictures look great. :) The 4 sketch-picture preview from Friday did already appeal very much to me. ͡(° ͜ʖ ͡°) On that note I wanted to ask (again) if you’re still so adamant about not changing anything up or getting someone to help you with your line-work, even temporary. :? I’am aware you’re against getting help for your work but at the same time I wouldn’t mind it if it meant that you wouldn’t have to worry so much anymore. (Last time I know of, you wrote that during the Mai Shiranui stream :I) I also wouldn’t mind it if you just accepted the delay as is, stopped worrying and just tried to naturally improve your speed. Instead of, as it appears, in a somewhat forced unalterable way. >_> Or if you changed something at all. I personally don’t mind waiting longer for you to finish your drawings but what I mind is the repeated notion of worry said delay is causing you. D: I merely want to voice my opinion, after all you know yourself best and this is your thing but it appears to me that your reluctance to change anything is/can/will hurting yourself and every time I see you write about you worrying about the delay I’am getting a bit worried myself. T_T I feel I’am getting a bit too intrusive again T_T, sorry about that. Either way I wish you the best and take care of yourself. :) PS: How’s your New Year’s resolution coming along? ^^ PPS: Patreon ate my post again….

Not only Paypal but many other online payment systems gets harder to use. They call it "safety" restrictions, and, sadly, it's a bullshit, since anyone can still use your paypal if he somehow stole your login and password.
