"Retirement!"
Guys, I need to talk to you!
I've decided that I'm going to take an indefinite break from Patreon and my other social media!
I started posting on Twitter 4 years ago, and I never imagined that it would be as successful as it was for so long, I just have to thank everyone who followed me there, and a huge thank you to everyone who continued to support me here on Patreon.
It was because of you that I was able to make a living from this, and I'll never forget that!
But over time, especially in the last 8 months, I wasn't feeling very excited about what I was doing. I started having a lot of trouble thinking of new drawings, and with each passing month it got harder to finish the packs. I tried to take a vacation in November to see if I was just tired, but as soon as the vacation was over the problems came back.
In the last few months, I would spend 4 to 5 days just to have a sketch that I thought was enough to show here.
I started getting recurring headaches every time I sat down to work, and because it took me so long to finish a drawing, I barely left the house for the last few months, and these things only made the initial problem worse.
I want to say here that my decision to stop was something I thought about for several months, and not something I thought about in the heat of the moment. To be honest, I chose to prioritize my mental and physical health over my time here on the internet.
There is a part of me that feels like I am letting you guys down, that I owe you guys all these years of support, so I apologize if you feel that way. But I really want to thank you for all the time you have been helping me.
I ask my patrons to cancel their membership so I don't have to deactivate my Patreon, since there are people who still want to buy packs from previous months in the shop!
I will continue paying for the Dropbox service for two more months. If any of you haven't downloaded a pack yet, I ask that you do so because once I stop paying for the service, the links will probably stop working.
I can't confirm when I will return, or even if I will, but know that I will continue to draw, whether professionally or as a hobby.
I hope you understand.
Thank you for everything 💙!
