Major Life Update (Patreon)
Content
Hello folks, I'm coming to you all with an update about my life and how it's impacting my Patreon.
I feel I am not living up to the workflow I wanted from myself, and the workflow I know you all deserve. Though I deeply appreciate every one of you for being a patron, I haven't been able to stay consistent enough to grow my following. I'm currently being pressured to find a very consistent source of income, and I'm still adjusting to life outside of an educational setting. All of my attempts to find employment have floundered. On top of that, my mental state has taken a nose dive in recent months, and it's truly only gotten worse as I near my deadline for employment.
I'm also expected to attend a family trip out of state with my family for a week. I'm not mentioning all of this as an excuse for pity. But more to frame a decision I'm currently contemplating:
I plan to pause my Patreon for at least this month and possibly for the foreseeable future (unless things pivot for my livelihood very suddenly.)
I don't feel good about taking people's money when I can't produce consistent work for them. I still owe several patrons a sketch request, and I will most certainly still deliver on that as soon as possible. But until then, I feel it would be disingenuous to continue charging patrons. Don't worry though, I will still post art when and where I can, including this Patreon page. Most of it may just end up being free. I haven't Ironed out the finer details, but that's where I'm leaning.
I'll have also just recently uploaded my most recent update for my final 3D commission for my recent sale, I intend to do a bit more work on that, as well as generate beauty shots. Then I'll need to help facilitate the commissioner's use of the model, so I hope you will look forward to that as well as it's quite a priority of mine, as I've left them hanging for far too long.
Anyways, I want to apologize to everyone here that's supported me so far. The fact that you all liked my art enough that you'd support me at all keeps a lump of coal ever burning in my furnace. I'll hopefully have more updates to bring you all once I'm home on the 18th of December. Even more, I hope getting out will be good for my depression.
Thanks again,
KingPopLuck
