Thank you guys. (Why Monetize?) (Patreon)

Howdy doo everyone. Kiv here.

I'd say I have one of the coolest communities of any artist out there.

You guys are literally amazing.

And even on then non-monetized sites I don't deal with much negativity at all.

But every once in a while I'll get the obligatory; why u want money 4 to be doing art :< Art shud be free-- comment.

Now instead of like going on about everything that is wrong with that kind of mentality, I'll instead talk about everything that you guys, my patrons, have done for me as an artist.

Without you guys, I literally could not draw this stuff.

I cannot express that enough.

Without your help-- this art wouldn't get made.

For me to survive as a free lance artist; i have to work 10 hours a day designing silly tattoos and doing urban art programs. Without your support, I wouldn't have the hours in the day I do now to work on this stuff.

Your support is monumental. WITHOUT YOU, NONE OF THESE COMICS WOULD EXIST.

I CANNOT hammer this point enough. YOU MAKE THIS POSSIBLE.

BEST OF ALL.

You guys supporting me these weeks, months, or years.

Has allowed me to spend time on focusing on getting better at drawing fetish art. WITHOUT YOUR SUPPORT, my art wouldn't look as good as it does now.

I wouldn't have the time to practice and study things and examine stuff and become a better artist.

WITHOUT YOU GUYS, NONE OF THIS WOULD EXIST.

WITHOUT YOU GUYS I'D BE NOTHING.

YOU GUYS ARE THE BEST.

Without patreon, without your support, I'd literally not be able to get this done.

Let me put it into perspective.

With  how little time I had before you guys.

When I went to make JocGo, the original 'come back comic' I spent literally MONTHS working on it.

I threw it all together and uploaded it int he course of a week I think, but it literally took me months to get every sketch, every line art, every bit done. That is how little spare time I had.

I had no intention on going super serious on fetish art again until someone suggested I make a patreon. I let the patreon sit for about a month before I even realized I was making money on it.

Then once we passed the first 50 patrons, I realized something, holy crap, I could do this as a form of income.

Then I was able to take less and less free lance work, and work more and more on this.

SO THANK YOU GUYS SO MUCH. Seriously. THANK YOU.
