A big change, please read! (Patreon)

Well, tbh, I'm pretty nervous, but here goes! First, I'd like to thank everyone who has supported me in ANY way shape or form, not just financially. It means a lot to have been told my work is great and that people love what I do and that they are totally here for me and my content. Hearing those kinds of things can make any creator feel great and be able to keep going. So thank you for that. Now on to the news! 

My patreon is going to go backwards quite a bit. This may be disappointing to some, I know, and I'm really sorry if I have disappointed any of you because of this change. I have to go back and revert my Patreon to a simple "support/tip jar" kind of deal. The reason for that is because I'm starting some zbrush/3D work courses/schooling and when I finish these classes, I'll most likely be going to a school in LA. This is a HUGE deal to me and it's a BIG step in a direction I've always steered away from out of fear of not being good enough. It's going to need a lot of my time and dedication and if I want to be successful at it quickly, I need to concentrate and live it. Unfortunately, I cannot focus on school, real life events and keep up with Patreon content all at the same time. I wish I was a power house of a person who can do EVERYTHING. Trust me, those people exist and they are amazing and I envy them! But thats just not me. I take medications that exhausts me at times and it's a job to even stay awake on the 'bad days'.

I've dabbled in 3D work before. And I've always felt a sort of calling to the craft. I feel really at home when I work in 3D. I wish I would have perused it in the past but I can't look back now. All I can do is act and that's what I'm doing. My heart is totally into this, guys. I want to create amazing things for myself and for everyone. I want to create figures and content that's hardly touched on in 3D. I even want to do character concepts, etc. I just feel like my work and what's in my head translates better via 3D modeling than anything I could do 2D. And I want to at least TRY to master it and get something out of this feeling. I have to give it a shot even if that means sacrificing a great deal of money and time. I've had numerous professional 3D artists who've worked on games and in the industry reach out and tell me "You're so good for being so new!" along with many other uplifting conversations recently that it has ignited the urge to do more in 3D and hey, who knows, maybe this is where I should be. So, I hope everyone understands why I'm making this change. I have to at least try. Even if I fail or give up and continue doing what I know I can do- at least I TRIED.

And lastly, my Patreon isnt going to be completely dry. I will still post things here off and on. Maybe even 3D stuff. But it'll be when I can and what I choose. It'll all still be very exclusive to Patrons only. So, no worries there. These changes are effective as of NOW. I wanted to announce this before anymore charges can be made. Please feel free to retract your pledge if you wish, or stay! Changes to the page will be made in the morning (it's 2AM for me now). I owe a few people some drawings via Patreon and I'm making a list of these people and will be reaching out ASAP. OH! And Holiday prints will be shipped out in a few days!

Thank you all so much for sticking with me, encouraging me, keeping me busy and helping me enjoy creating art. I truly, SINCERELY, appreciate it. Please know that. I don't like to delve deep down into my personal life/issues and make them known to everyone, because I mean... who DOESNT have problems, right? And I never want to add to anybodies hard times. But just know that the people who enjoy my work, who chat with me, comment at me, support me in anyway have helped me through the toughest times (and most dont even know it). So, thank you for that.

I hope you're all not too disappointed and even if you are, I still love ya, and I understand. I'll still be posting doodles and shitposts via twitter, so I wont be TOTALLY gone while I'm studying. Thank you all again. It's really hard for me to close something like this, cause idk where to stop! Ugh! I'm so nervous!  

Well, thank you all so much for your attention and time. I appreciate you all <3
