[UPDATE] I won't be drawing for a while... (Patreon)

Hey guys,

This was written because I'm reaching the last steps to start working at a regular 9 to 5 job and I wanted to inform y'all that I would stop drawing consistently on Patreon for a long minute.

For the past 4-5 years I've been drawing hentai seriously, I always felt ashamed to do it and was regularly looking for a reason to stop. That's why I haven't posted anything since the beginning of May.

Being an NSFW artist complicates developing and managing relationships in my personal life since I'm a very prude person IRL and I keep what I do private. That makes the people around me think that I'm very cold when in reality I'm trying my absolute best to hide my BIG secret lol.

Also, going full-time for the past 4 months and seeing the limits I had as an NSFW artist made me realize I lack a tremendous amount of discipline to reach the level I always wanted to reach. My goal was to create a massive and extremely reactive community of 100,000 people that enjoy hyper proportions and ridiculous sex acts. With the way I am right now, it proves very difficult to make it happen in a timely manner.

What creates this lack of discipline is that I have the bad habit of always jumping on new projects and new creative styles back-to-back and not sticking with a strategy over a long period of time. Because of that I always work in bursts of fire, instead of working in slow consistent simmers, which often leads to accidentally burning out.

With this new job, I want to give myself the opportunity to take a step back and put a stop to my inconsistent lifestyle.

I don't know when and if I will come back, but until I decide about that, I want to thank every single one of you for being on this long journey with me whether you're a veteran or you just came in. Thank you for commissioning, tipping, commenting, liking, or even just secretly enjoying my art. This was truly an amazing experience, I can't believe I was able to pay my rent, and food and heal my mental health in the past few months with the financial and moral support from all of you.

Big shout-outs to Bungee and Will for being amazing mods on the server, helping me with managing things, and being absolute chads. A medium shout-out to the art friends I spoke to over Discord, you guys rock, and don't give up on the dream! A small shout-out to all the haters, your criticisms helped me become a better artist throughout the years.

I paused the payments for the month of July and will leave the account up for people that still want to access the content I haven't posted anywhere else.

Thank you so much for everything and I hope one day I can find the strength to give this a try again.

See y'all :)
