Shutting down Patreon in Feb 2021 (Patreon)

Hello!

It's been a while and I apologize about that.

After a lot of thinking, I've come to the conclusion that unfortunately, I'm just not in the mindset to balance Patreon on top of other things. It's been a hard decision to make, and I really thought this was what I wanted, but I feel like when it comes to art I want it to remain purely as a hobby and if I feel I have to draw a certain number of pictures per month it can be quite stressful. I appreciate everyone who has supported me from the bottom of my heart, I truly do! I was so overwhelmed with gratitude the first time I saw everyone pledge to me... I wish this was something I could do, but I think art just has to stay a hobby for me. 

I've been pausing payment again and again because I just don't feel like I should be accepting payment unless I can draw super frequently. But I don't think that's what I want to achieve with my art. I have thought about this a LOT and I do think I feel better about cancelling Patreon for now and just going back to drawing purely for fun.

I'll try to draw for this month to finish off some stuff I owe and post to here, but from Feb I will be cancelling all active memberships and shutting down this Patreon.

Thank you so much for everything!

Q Is this the end of Patreon?

A I can't say 100%. Right now I have too many other commitments (work, other hobbies) to devote as much time as I feel I should to Patreon. If at some point I end up having a lot more free time, I may attempt to restart Patreon if I feel confident I can provide a steady stream of art. But for now, I think it's not the right choice for me.

Thank you so much for all of your support up until now!
