2020 Life Update (Patreon)

As many of you know, I've been working for six+ months now at a local studio doing video production and animation. Over that time, I was hoping it would give me a chance to work more on my own projects in my free time, but—and I knew this would happen from experience but still thought maybe it wouldn't this time—putting all my creative energy into a day job left me with nothing to put into my artistic hobbies. I've still been drawing for Patreon fairly steadily. But it's been tough and I've been consistently burned out over the past few months. Doing any sort of "high" creative work has just been impossible.

This wouldn't necessarily be a problem if the day job was awesome and rewarding. It's not. In addition to the usual stress of the industry, the actual company I've been working for has some pretty serious issues. Without going into the details, I've reached a point where I know nothing is going to improve, and I'm not getting anything professionally out of it.

So this past week I put in my two weeks' notice. Starting in February, I'm going to be taking a step back from there and putting my effort back into this Patreon and commissions full time. Also the Patreon will be for porn again! I mean, it has been for the past two months or so, but it will be officially again. I'd also like to invest more time in it, maybe create a tier for animation and/or comics. Anyway, I'm looking forward to it because I've been so much happier and got so much more out of doing furry art full time vs. "real" professional work.

For those of you who've hung out and supported me here even when I was struggling with balancing my creative energies, thank you so much! I really appreciate it. I'm humbled to know so many friends and people like you who helped support me. I'm still amazed that this is a viable career path for me, and it's been super satisfying and just plain fun! 

I'll post another update soon when I know for sure when I'll be opening for commissions again. Cheers~
