Shutting down the Patreon (temporarily)
Added 2018-06-25 17:13:33 +0000 UTCHey!
I'm sure you noticed the lack of updates and content in the past months. I can't tell you what's going on because I'm not sure of it myself. I want to make more smut, but I also kinda don't.
You guys have been bearing with me for long enough, so I am going to shut down the Patreon temporarily. I do want to come back, but it doesn't make sense to have it up while I'm not doing anything.
I'm also refunding everybody who asks for it. Just drop a comment or PM me.
Thanks everybody for bearing with me for so long and I'm sorry for letting you down. Hope to come back soon!
PS:
I have no idea what shutting down the Patreon is going to do, so I'm waiting until the end of the month when everybody had a chance to ask for refunds.
I'm also editing the reward tiers and description text to avoid any new pledges.

UGH! holy crap, sorry! i have to pause it every month and this time i forgot. decline the charge if you can, otherwise i'll issue refunds to everyone who pledged this month. i should probably also just shut down the patreon until i return. didn't think i'd be gone for this long. again, sorry abut this!
2019-10-01 18:44:50 +0000 UTCWhy is your patreon unpaused? I just got charged for October and you haven't posted anything in a year and a half.

2019-10-01 18:41:25 +0000 UTCThanks for the pledge! I still don't know when, but yeah I do want to make smut again in the future. I was actually really happy to hear that Overwatch 2 is likely going to be a thing :D
2019-06-09 16:34:56 +0000 UTCThanks a lot - I love your adult Dv.A / Widowmaker work (those alone are worth the $10). Are you going to make more art like this / resume your patreon page in a foreseeable time? :)

2019-06-01 10:35:22 +0000 UTCHey! Yes, the last link to the watermark-free archive from April 2018 (holy shit!!) is still up and working.
2019-05-29 16:39:10 +0000 UTCHi again. ^^ How are you doing? And can we pledge again and get a mega folder link to your works? I'm still interested in the 10$ tier = watermark-free versions of your stuff. ^^
Aerith_FF7re
2019-05-17 15:31:10 +0000 UTCI would like to join - also because of old no watermark content - but I guess I'm too late? Aside from that - have a good time. ^^

2019-05-08 11:24:43 +0000 UTCrefund please.. hopefully you’ll get back soon
2019-03-25 01:50:16 +0000 UTCI hope you're doing good with whatever's going on :) Hoping you will make a comeback as I think your work on Overwatch is by far the best and my favorite. But more importantly, be well and it's good to not force work if motivation's low. Anyway, all the best!

2018-06-26 12:21:31 +0000 UTCNot Google Drive, but Mega. Just click the "Downloads" button on my Tumblr. Don't want to post it here, cause Patreon doesn't like smut in public posts.
2018-06-26 12:20:59 +0000 UTCdone
2018-06-26 12:15:44 +0000 UTCThanks! Yeah, I'm doing fine, no need to worry about that. Bringing back commissions might be a good idea while the Patreon is gone, but I'm not sure yet.
2018-06-26 12:15:17 +0000 UTCrefund pls
2018-06-26 08:52:51 +0000 UTCIf you decide not to come back, and are interesting in selling your models, let me know. Sad to see you go, your work is legendary
2018-06-26 08:31:03 +0000 UTCRefund please
2018-06-26 08:21:13 +0000 UTC*Baby come back, any kind of fool could see. There was something in everything about you.* You can keep the money, it's not much but maybe it'll help you get through whatever you're going through. Do come back though. Blender smut will never be the same without you.
CyborgJensen
2018-06-26 05:40:16 +0000 UTCThank you so much for owning the break Ellowas, and looking after yourself. I just pledge for the first time this month, and it was entirely because of the incredible Cote d'Azure Widow riding Soldier animation you did. Every little movement looked so good! I hope you find that spark again soon, even if it doesn't end up being for smut. You're incredible and your work is inspiring me to try and take up animation! So thank you so much for being the kind of crazy awesome person who did take the time to put their work out there in the world.

2018-06-26 05:19:23 +0000 UTCSo sad to hear that. I hope to hear from you again. I really loved your works.

2018-06-26 04:53:24 +0000 UTCSad to hear that,my man
2018-06-26 04:45:55 +0000 UTCSad to hear that you will no longer be making anymore animations. Even though they were short. I dreamed one day that you would make a longer animation because your short clips were some of the highest/most refined videos out there. Thank you for entertaining us and good luck with whatever the future holds.
JarBeezy
2018-06-26 02:32:02 +0000 UTCYou have an amazing talent and gift. I can't tell you where to go next on your life's journey, but I'm willing to continue to support you when you come back. Even if it is to branch out into non-smut stuff. Can't say that I wouldn't love for you to make more, but life changes and do our interests. Keep us posted as far as any other projects you want to do. And remember to have fun!
2018-06-26 00:27:31 +0000 UTCmajor mummer. I'd like a refund but I'll be waiting for you to come back so I can support you again.

2018-06-25 23:45:32 +0000 UTCI know the feeling man. Went through the same stuff with music, just gotta take a break and let the motivation recharge on its own, no matter how long it takes. Forcing it always ends up producing mediocre results anyways, so it's for the best. Good luck my dude. P.S: Me poor student, would appreciate refund ^-^

2018-06-25 23:15:20 +0000 UTCno need to refund me, i just hope that you know what path you want to take when you come back

2018-06-25 23:13:49 +0000 UTCReal sad to hear you have lost your drive :( You made the best overwatch wallpapers (especially Widowmaker). Hope you find your motivation back and come back soon. Until then I wish you all the very best for your personal future and for everything that you will do.

2018-06-25 22:56:36 +0000 UTCI don't want a refund. You deserved the money I donated to you but I hope you get things sorted out and come back when you're ready.

2018-06-25 22:47:02 +0000 UTCSucks to see you go, but i will be eagerly awaiting your return. Could i get that refund please?
Aninjamuffin4
2018-06-25 21:52:56 +0000 UTCGotta do a little soul-searching, eh? No worries! Take some time to figure out how you wanna go about it! You’re still one of the best of the best when it comes to modeling and animation, but you’re pretty notorious for putting a lot on your table. Take some time to decompress and figure out your next step! You’ve got a surefire fan here, and my Patreon monies will be waiting for your return!

2018-06-25 19:21:56 +0000 UTCI don't need a refund, but I'm sad to see you go even if temporary! Your work is gorgeous and you've always come off as a really nice guy. I hope you're doing alright in your personal life! Maybe you should just set something up that allows you to create when you feel like it and with no pressure rather than feeling obliged to monthly things? Whatever works for you! Best of luck, Ellowas. 💜

2018-06-25 19:00:31 +0000 UTCSorry about that :| Done!
2018-06-25 18:44:44 +0000 UTCMan, and I just got on patreon too.. I'd like a refund, and I feel bad for joining so late to the party.

2018-06-25 18:37:07 +0000 UTCThat's ok, my dude. I've had the same feelings with my miniature painting, didn't feel like doing it but I also felt like doing it, so I get you - kindof. I'm painting again now, so I can assure you the feeling'll come back ;) Since there basically wasn't any content last month though, I'd like that refund :) Lemme know when you're back into the saddle

2018-06-25 18:25:35 +0000 UTCYup, I'll let you guys know on Twitter or Tumblr about any updates. I'm certain that this is not it for me tho! I love doing 3d stuff and I like making smut. Just need to figure out a better way of how to make it fun, cause most of it is pretty boring tbh.
2018-06-25 18:25:03 +0000 UTCI'm sad to read this. Unfortunately, I would like to ask for a refund. But I will be aware of your return
2018-06-25 18:19:01 +0000 UTCFigured this was coming, as the months ticked by with no content. I don't usually do this, but yeah please refund me as well.
Sleepnir
2018-06-25 18:17:05 +0000 UTCDespite being a little dissapointed, I would agree that it is the right call. Not letting the uncertainty and lack of posts go on forever. If I understand this post right, does this mean that your patreon will be closed, as in completely inaccessible? If so, do we check your twitter and tumblr every now and then for potential news? I have to admit that I have this eerie feeling that this is it. I hope it isn't though, since you truly are one of a kind in this field. Really appreciate what you have made and shared with us, and I hope you feel better as time goes on ^_^
2018-06-25 18:12:38 +0000 UTCYou can pause it for a month, which is what i'm going to do. It doesn't say if you can pause it again after that, but we'll see. The only other option, I saw, was to revert my Account to Patron, effectively deleting my Patreon.
2018-06-25 17:54:38 +0000 UTCdone!
2018-06-25 17:53:24 +0000 UTCWhat do you mean by shutting down, you can just pause Patreon, which stops charging people. It's a legit option

2018-06-25 17:47:51 +0000 UTCim sad youre deciding to shut down ellowas! sadly i would like to ask for a refund since i am in money problems <3 love your work and the second you return to patreon ill pledge to you again!
2018-06-25 17:44:31 +0000 UTCSounds like you have a lot on your mind, so taking your time to figure everything out makes sense. Whichever way you decide in the end, thank you for all the stuff you made!
