I just don't wanna draw at all and it's been like this for months. There's no way out, unless my financial situation improves. I can't work harder so there's no chance at opening commissions or something.
I've been doing the suggestion boxes + polls, drawing what people want for over a year now, only, EXCLUSIVELY, in hopes that more various fanart attracts more people. Well, it didn't. Even after a year of unpaid efforts we're still there, at this dead point. Managing the suggestion/poll posts and actually drawing fanarts takes as much time as a commission worth $50~60. I'm not getting paid for this at the moment.
I was considering giving up on the rewards overall and turning Patreon into a tip jar. But that obviously will leave me without ANY personal drawings (the 4 early access pics every month), I'll just turn into a sad commission/adopt machine and stop drawing my own characters at all. That was exactly the situation before opening my Patreon. I hoped to flee from that.
So for now I settled with dropping the quality of my monthly fanarts. Probably I shouldn't have mentioned that at all and none of you would've noticed. Now a few people sound triggered as hell, while I refuse to feel guilty, sorry or anything. Get in my shoes.
You guys aren't making me feel any better.
