Patreon Update - Health Issues
🕑 Added 2021-09-02 00:32:03 +0000 UTCTl-DR: In short, I need to work on improving my health both physically & mentally, I want to make stuff when I'm able & not feel pressured, I make what I want even if it deviates from the norm & enjoy making it again and lastly, I don't think patreon is a platform for someone like me.
I'm ending support due to continued health issues, large cuts being taken from support that I do receive from companies that make it harder and harder for anyone that isn't rich & privileged to earn an income, and just in general thinking that it would be best for people to just have the option to buy art packs they like from gumroad due to my inability to print media like a machine. I can't keep up with those able to crank out works daily and I don't want to be stuck doing only expansion works forever.
For a while I've been going back and forth about it, but those that follow me on other platforms know that I lost family, a good job, and a good home all because I tried my damnedest to hold onto past relationships and past ideals. now the same is happening with my art and I'm simply done with it. I'm sick of revisiting the past and I feel like my growth is stopping because of it.
My art is the only thing that has kept me sane during 2019 and onward and I won't let it be ruined by a desire to please everyone and my fear of letting some people down. If I'm going to struggle with my health, I'm going to struggle using that time to make whatever I want, not pushing my self to the edge of madness trying to come up with yet another way earn money to pay for basic health needs only to later be told by people that are stringing me along that there's nothing they can do to heal my physical or mental issues.
I will always love making expansion works and other adult oriented content but I need to be able to make more then that to make some kind of a living off of this and more over, I'd like my joy for creation to return by making the things I want, even if it's different from the norm. But I've talked about branching out enough & I've allowed people & companies to rob my life of joy for far too long. I apologize if this disappoints anyone, but my mental health has been getting neglected for far too long and I'm tired of doing things the old way, tired of this... insanity.
