Removing my Patreon (Patreon)

I have been doing some thinking about my Patreon, and my art recently. Written down my thoughts in depth, however, I wont be posting them on here, or on FA. 

Mainly, I have not been enjoying my art for a while now, and have not even toutched it at all. I havnt been working on anything recently and I don't really have the passion to do so either. I cancelled all my commissions ect and now I think it's time to make a change. 

I don't deserve to have Patreon when I am not able to be consistent and provide content for those who pay for it. So, for that reason, I think it might be best to remove it. I didn't want to, as I can't simply put this account on ice for a bit in any meaningful way to how I would like to. Instead, I would have to delete it to remove any income from it.  

I am aware it is your decision to support me or not, and I made my patreon that way too. But, I am not happy that there are people paying me money, while I either don't have the passion to work, nor want to work on anything, nor have a goal for my art in general.  

I was close to calling this considering removing my patreon, however, If I am not able to keep it up now, then there is not much point trying to come back to it later, I think its best I was just done with it. There are other things I need to focus on in life right now, other than my art. So I would at least like to get those in order first. And I didn't want to make just another stupid hiatus journal also.

Thanks for the support along the way guys though, it was nice while it lasted. I'll be removing this account soon.

OMG, no way this is happening. Ive been enjoing your arts so much and so long, you formed your own style and I like it! Its sad to hear that you "don't have the passion to work, nor want to work on anything" but I understand you as an artist, we all have times when you think thats the end, nothing will come new, but trust me, It will. That reading of forms, that light combinations, these shapes always make me happy for days! You will be in my heart anyways, will exist the patreon or not. Hope you will not forget this all. Where will you be then?

You know... at the end of the day it's of course your decision, and I can actually see the point as far as not uploading too often goes. But whenever I see a post like this I can't help but wonder "why are good artists doing this to themselves"? I see a lot of talented people in the fandom saying things like "my art isn't good enough to deserve it" or "I've failed everyone"... even when I'm legitimately not seeing it, and honestly enjoy and support what they create! It's quite sad that this happens. Also I suggest simply reverting your account to "patron only" if you really wish to go this route: That way people who follow you here can still watch you, whereas you can keep watching others.

Best wishes to you, sometimes it is the best thing to focus on life for a while, and maybe one day you will enjoy your art again!

You made me cry :'-( Good luck, I wish you the best, I'll miss your art a lot.

It sounds like you need to take a step away from all this and focus on what makes you happy right now. I'm sure you can come back to art, patreon and other things when the time is right but from the sound of it that time isn't now. We all understand and will always keep an eye out for you. We all love your art, you have such a talent but also skills that you've developed so well. You really are a very good artist, I can't say that enough. But you can't do something if it no longer makes you happy. I trust that you have other things you want to invest in right now and I wish you all the best with that. I hope that you find a new place with art eventually, a way that fits with you that keeps you happy. Perhaps having the pressure of providing to people who support you with money isn't for you? Either way I'm sure you'll find what works for you eventually. Good luck!

All right. Good luck on whatever you're planning on doing in your life.

It's much easier to destroy than create. I'd suggest "mothballing" your Patreon rather than completely removing it. But if you're not enjoying what you're doing for it (or at least something that comes from that, such as money), then there's no reason to continue, is there?

I am toutched you like the work I have made, and watched it for so long. Glad I could help some people feel better with it also. So it was nice for you to tell me some of the pictures I have made had an impact on you. I really don't have any intentions on giving up art all together, Mainly, I think I have lost my way with it and go to a point where I am not enjoying what I do. Patreon and commissions just did not feel right also. But, with that said, I'll be back at some point, not overly soon, but I certainly am not going to abandon those who enjoy what I make. Thank you. :)

Well it was a hard decision to make, thats for sure, but I think it needs to be done. I understand not seeing the problem with uploading enough, but for me personally, it was just grinding at me that I wasn't able to get things done, when I said I would, or I had promised on, and I think a lot of it was just not enjoying what I was doing. I don't plan to give up on art, but what I am to do with it next, I have no idea really. But thank you. :)

Thanks Pon, you are right about it not being my time yet, I think I know that and it would do some good to step back and live life for a time. Hopefully I will come back with some new stuff to show. Anyway, I'll be sure to keep an eye on your work also while I might be dormant. Thanks for the support Pon. :)

I made sure to take your advice McClaw, going to put my account on hold, and I might come back to it at some point. Again, I should thank you for the support you have given me over my time on here. :)
