This Patreon sucks, and that's on me.
There is no side stepping the issue, I have been terrible at running it, I've been treating my Patrons poorly, and I don't act befitting of someone worth gaining a passive income from it.
I'm a very inconsistent person. I don't when or how long I'll have the energy to draw, when I have the confidence to actually post, nor when or how any of my pieces will actually come out to meet any sort of arbritary quality standard; This job was never meant for me. Some months I can't deliver and I get in my head that I can't deliver so I restart all my work so I don't deliver, over and over, and it never works out too well for too long. I make a dozen promises, and will meet almost none of them.
One thing I have been consistent about, however, is that I haven't enjoyed drawing for Patreon. In a lot of ways, it hurts me drawing for Patreon.
Getting in my own head about whether this winner has enough pages, releasing a piece to a limited reach so regardless if I clutch it out I won't get any new viewers, stagnating day by day trying to force ideas out and drawings out of characters I don't actually know what I want to do for a piece with them, overscaling projects because I can't control myself... It's tiring.
This IS my fault. I'm the one who can't control the scale of my projects, can't force myself to do things I don't really want to do, and can't break myself out of artistic pits and unstable mental.
This Patreon was doomed from the beginning, and I've betrayed your trust too many times...
However I still owe you guys a bit more.
3 More Months, and I'm closing this Patreon for good.
For these 3 Months, ending in December, I'll do the following:
Host 3 polls for the Artifact Series each month, which will be released publicly with only alts locked behind $3 Patrons, and voting locked behind $5.
$7 Suggestion Box will be reopened, no themes, no limits on how many you recommend, and I'll select whichever ones I feel confident in being able to finish when winning in a poll.
Voting for Suggestion Box winners monthly poll will be available for $5 and above as usual, top 1 will be chosen to draw, 1 will be chosen by me, and 1 will be chosen by random through a raffle.
NONE of these winners will be comics or CGs.
I'll actually post the psds like no cap
Early Psds and Clip files for everything I post for $7 tier at the end of the month, for real, on god, no cap. (I feel really bad about no psds I'll be real)
That's it. I won't break this promise, and I'll make everything on this Patreon free forever on Christmas through a dropbox link available for everyone.
Peace.
