Taking a break.
Added 2023-03-26 22:08:52 +0000 UTCI know this is out of nowhere, let me explain.
When I started this patreon back in 2020, in my head taking a week off per year during the holidays sounded good enough to prevent burnout at first, but right now more than three years later, it's clear that it’s no longer enough.
My family and friends have been telling me this for a while now, that I needed to slow down a little and take more breaks but I always brushed it off telling myself that I could keep it up, and just now I'm starting to realize the toll it is taking on me.
So I decided I'm gonna take the next week off, stay away from the drawing tablet and recharge my batteries. This will mean no polls and no uploads till April 3rd, with the exception of a “Suggestion post” for characters and ideas that I already had planned.
This does not mean I'm tired of making this kind of content, I love doing what I do and I’m grateful for being able to do it, thanks to you fellas, that is one of the reasons I feel like I need to recharge so I can continue to enjoy drawing all this content for you. I might take more breaks like a weekend off or something like that in the future to prevent burnout from happening but I’ll never be gone for the entire month (and if I have to I’ll make sure to pause monthly billing to patrons during that period of time).
The princess comic which is really close to wrapping up will also come back after April 3rd, it will give me some time to decide on how it’s going to end. second and third place for the tf poll will also be uploaded after this date.
Thanks for your support and your comprehension, fellas.
See you in a week!

2023-03-27 05:22:22 +0000 UTCI've seen you post pretty much every day, and I had always wondered how you managed to keep that up for so long. Good to see you're taking that break before the very worst burnout hits. Enjoy your time off, you deserve it!

2023-03-26 22:18:04 +0000 UTCWith how consistent you've been at getting stuff out over the years, I'd say you've been an absolute machine, but in the end you're still human too. Any breaks you take are absolutely well-deserved!

2023-03-26 22:15:33 +0000 UTCIt’s for the best, glad you made this decision CW. I was hoping you would take another break instead of only the holidays. Enjoy your time off and can’t wait to see what you have in store coming back
