Something that's been bugging me... (Patreon)
Content
I been having an small artistic crisis lately, and If you wanna give me any thoughts/oppinions, I would be happy to read em :)
I also want to clarify im not looking for anyone to fix this thing for me, I just wanna be transparent with my supporters with something thats been bugging me since some months now.
-------------------------------------------------
Im not sure how good this habit I have of posting one thing each day on twitter is making me feel, personally.
Sure, making one post each day not just helped me to grow extremly fast these last years, but is also keeps my site engaged and highlighted (Remember im an independent, so I gotta be my own advertiser) -this is an important point to keep in mind-
Nothenless, I feel like many of my works take months to see the light, wether is because of a personal lack of planning, or simply because I priorize exclusiveness over showing my most recent work.
PLEASE DONT GET ME WRONG--im extremly thankful with you, my patreons, and im happy to deliver you exclusive art (Right now, while writing this, im eating noodles that I got with this job, working on something I love is a dream I could archieve thanks to you) Im okay with doing exclusive content for you
My problem is something about the satisfaction I been feeling, not with my contents, but how do I make them public.
1- In one hand, every time I make new artwork I start worryng about where to release it in the future. This has left less time for me to improvisation, Every time I got an idea, I decide where im making room on the future of patreon for it, but at the same time I already got stuff already scheduled for twitter and blahblahblah......
This has caused me to forget posting doodles from 2019-2020 on twitter
2- On the other hand, last month was very bad for me at twitter... I changed my schedule for 3-4 pictures a week and I lose a lot of engagemente... my hypothesisis that this change didnt pleased these algorythm things all independer artists gotta deal with ( this actually messed up my mood for some days :( )
Just as said earlier, keep in mind that as an independent, I always have the urge to grow and live from the stuff I love to create, I feel like resting on this would b a problem.

What do you think? Im not planning on quitting or anything :)
Im very happy working with Patreon and being an independent artist. with that said, im just worried of the repercussion of my future desicions on my career (wich tbh is a normal thing haha)
This fear is incremented when I think of all the wacky projects I got in mind for the future (some of them, as mentioned in the past, are SFW themed, wich makes em a true leap of faith to me)
finally, as stated at the start of this post, Im not looking for anyone to give me a solution, I know this is something I will figure out with help, but you know me, I love being 100% honest with my supporters, and this thing has been bugging me these last weeks.
Thanks for your time :D
