[MFS News] Welcome 2019... (Patreon)

Hello everyone,

Well, my first news post of 2019... Isn't quite as pleasant as I first imagined. I am aware that there hasn't been anything new since the beginning of the year, and for that, I deeply apologise. I created this Patreon with the promise of showing you some new stuff before everyone else, a peek into how things work, and just showing some fun stuff, mostly, but I've been failing to meet that promise lately.

This is why:

From last year to now, my drawing has progressed from a hobby to a full-time job, I've become increasingly focused on doing commission works, both publicly and privately, in order to basically keep making a living - the Patreon is helping greatly, and I am ever thankful to all of you for your continued support, but I found it is not quite enough. Combine that with a recent relative's holiday plan (with the prior spending to match), and I had been working overtime - throughout the nights with no sleep recently. You may have seen a few recent posts on dA - that's not all of them, as I'm working on more as we speak, working through a backlog of commissions to make ends meet.

As a result of said self-negligence, I am currently a physical and mental wreck; sleeping throughout the day, and working throughout the night. I've become insomniac, and gotten too used to it. It's taken a toll on my health, and I became hysterical, and increasingly worried and frantic; thinking to myself that, if I sleep, I fear it may be my last.

I managed one good three hour sleep last night, so that's at least a first step towards better health. However, I do promise in the meantime, I will definitely be making exclusive stuff here, just not as often - at the moment I'm thinking bi-weekly instead of weekly (though if I make some good sketch-work too, I'd be glad to show that as well). In fact, there should be something coming here very soon, though I confess, it may be my only work I am confident to show for this month.

I hope you can understand, and thank you so much for your continued support. Be well.
