I feel very weird. I stopped drawing everyday arts like I have been in the previous two months because I feel guilty in front of Patrons and commissioners. And to be honest with you my productivity dropped down very hard. I'm not sure what I have to do, maybe I need to get back to drawing sketches every day, but I just want to please everybody.

So I think I just ask you guys, are you happy with the last two months? My Patreon's growth has been very good in those months, but I feel like I did less for you. I don't know why, but I need to post stuff public, somehow I receive energy from that, and this energy gives me the strength to draw commissions and Patreon stuff and drawing in general. But also I can understand if people get mad at me because they see all these non-commission arts and Ask themself - Does he actually draw what I paid for? Those thoughts make me nervous, so be free to say your opinion on that. You can DM me if you don't want to share your thoughts in public. I want to make my Patreon as good as possible and I don't want anyone to feel cheated.

Sorry for all this. Maybe it's a season thing or I'm getting crazy because of the Covid situation. I just want to clear this

Personally I am always pleased whenever you upload; granted I do not personally commission you, but I hope that those who do understand just how much effort goes into drawing so skillfully AND trying to adhere to most If not every facet of their commission.

Thank you! I love drawing commissions, this is the best job I've ever had. Maybe I'm just brought up like this, I always have a feeling that I could do things better.

As a Patron I am perfectly happy with the rate you upload here. I have not commissioned you before but I have commissioned other artists and I am aware of how much time and effort goes into it. I would not want to see you overwork and stress yourself just to increase output for people who dont understand how much work goes into art.

I want you to grow as an artist at a pace you see fit for yourself. If you need to take a step back to reevaluate your current situation by all means please do. Don't over work yourself trying to please everyone, you're just gonna end up hurt in the end. Take your time, breathe and relax. But most importantly do what makes you happy.

Thank you! I think it would be best if I come back to my old schedule.

I subbed to your patreon so that I could get a commission from you. I wanted a commission from you because I think your work is rad. I’m happy seeing your work, whether it’s commissions or personal work. Ultimately you should be drawing for you, drawing the things that make you happy, hopefully without feeling the pressure of patrons or commissions. And the more personal work you do, the more you’ll improve as an artist and the better your commissioned work will be as a result. So if you feel guilty or bad about doing more personal stuff, you really shouldn’t be. It benefits everyone in the end. You keep doin you, boo.

Thank you very much! I'll try to keep that balance I had for the few last months. And thank you again for your understanding, means a ton to me!

Your art is pretty damn great imo, and you tend to lean into certain niches that seem to appeal to a great many of us. As far as I'm concerned, the rewards you offer are certainly worth my money.
