Secret update (Patreon)

Hi everybody,

I prefer to share this update this way, as it won't end up on "You Know Where", aka that website that leaks all patreon content and shall not be named in case someone still doesn't know about it.

First of all, if you've just joined my patreon, well welcome aboard :), and secondly I'll be pausing billing in December. Meaning you won't get charged for a month and there'll be little to no new content as I'll focus on other personal matters as well as Monster Crowd's prologue.

Secondly, I can definitely affirm I've reached a plateau on patreon as the last exclusive picture barely brought in new people, and I'm far from the peak of patrons I had a few months ago. For a while I thought that maybe new people were not joining due to not being interested in the previous type of content (the Starfox comic), and that a new pic with a new character will be more interesting for new audiences. It's far from the case, so the problem simply lies with me and my art-style: the way I handle my patreon, the repetitiveness and quality of my art, etc...
It comforts me in my idea that I need to change the type of content I release here, not mentioning that creating fetish art is incredibly taxing on my mental health, time and also finances (since the type of exclusive art I release on patreon will bring in more money). I could keep creating more and more fetish art, for months and months, until I might suddenly unlock the magical formula that would allow me to turn patreon into a part time job that is worth it, but the likely outcome is it'll make my burnout so extreme that it'll also affect my IRL job.
So I'll go on a hiatus of fetish art next year, focus on projects that fulfill me creatively and emotionally, and will switch this patreon to another type of content to see if that works. There might still be an occasional fetish picture when I'm inspired, but those will be rare. I'll also probably need to start thinking about external sources of revenue IRL (might have to pause patreon's billing again for a couple of months so I can focus on all of that).

Finally, regarding "You Know Where", I did some testing and it seems to be updated through a bot, meaning newer posts are being uploaded there, but any update of an older post doesn't get updated. I'll need to do some more testing on my side, but it's likely I'll start reposting art on patreon instead of sharing the google drive link, with the only difference that it'll be by updating the original post after it will have appeared on the pirating website. This should allow me to revert to high res pictures again.

Thanks for reading!
