Patreon Downscaling

Hi everyone! It's been a while since I haven't updated this page and figured I'd update on stuff that I've been mulling about.

TL;DR Deciding to downscale this patreon page to something akin to a donation/support/tip jar due to not being able to keep this page updated. For those who still haven't claimed their free sketch for subbing annually, please reach out to me here as I will be resuming the billing cycle come after April.

To expound a bit, I realized it's been about a year already since I've been continually pausing this billing cycle/managing this semi-hiatus but looking back, it really is looking like a full-blown hiatus haha.

With that said, I'll be downscaling this page to something like a monthly tip jar! There's still a bunch of locked content lingering around, but more or less, I'll just commit to this hiatus/downscale where exclusive content isn't guaranteed. If I ever have some sketches I don't post on social media, I do plan on compiling and putting them here.  

As much as I would like to draw/sketch/create stuff on the side to make content for this page, I've been feeling not quite the same as I have been when I initially launched this page. I don't think I would say it's burnout, I feel it's just how I view with drawing, in general! I still enjoy drawing but it's maybe with a different view now. Perhaps having drawing as a job kinda makes me like...not want to draw as much (who knew?)

______________________________________________

Reasons aside, here's what's to happen for this page after April.

1. I'll resume the billing cycle since I don't want to think about remembering to go to my settings every month to pause. The pace of content for this page moving forward will be like that of the past year: next to none. With that, please feel free to unsub if you feel that your money is better used somewhere else!

2. I'm removing all tiers except the $1 tier. Those who decide to support annually can still avail of the quick bust sketch! Those with this tier will still have access to previous locked posts along with Twitch VODs and any future ones. Again, this is going to be treated like a donation/support/tip jar kind of page but I will see to posting some exclusive stuff here and there (mostly sketchy stuff).

3. Patreon server will still be up! I will still be passing by here and there and I'll do my best to check it out and share stuff!

4. I know I have some unclaimed requests so if any of those whose requests I haven't gotten to yet, I will still do them! Please let me know by sending me a message here if you are reading this. 

So far, that's pretty much it (I think?). I will update this post if I ever forget anything!

Before I end this, I want to thank everyone so, so much for the support over the years. This patreon has helped a ton in a lot of things since I launched it and I am really, truly grateful for all the support. I feel this page was a great way of also figuring out my thoughts when drawing because if I were to look back at my firsts posts on here, I do see growth from since then! Without this page, I wouldn't have much of a written sort of "diary" when I was going through my sketches and WIPs so I'm very happy I made this thing. 

Anyhow, I feel this entry went on long enough! See you all next time whenever that'll be and thanks for sticking around!
