The Old Hermit on 2025

Well, what I've wanted to tell you all for a few days is something, overall, simple, but I think it's important to share as it relates to the future of my Patreon.

As you've probably noticed, I've been quite busy over the past few months. The thing is, I'm thinking of quitting my current job. It takes up so much of my time and barely leaves me any for other things, like keeping the Patreon active. The truth is, I come home so tired from work that sometimes I fall asleep at my PC trying to create content for here, which has messed up my sleep cycles. But! Quitting a job isn't something I can do just like that, so I'm working extra hours to save up more money so I can quit, knowing I have enough saved up to support myself for the coming months...

So why am I explaining this? To everyone I owe commissions to... I apologize for the delays... I assure you I haven’t forgotten you, just give me some time, and I promise I’ll get them to you soon. I was also thinking about taking a break from commissions, at least until the end of February, but honestly, I'm not sure how I would handle that. Apparently, there's a new system on Patreon that allows you to sell a product at a fixed price, and I was thinking that I could handle commissions that way, leaving the subscriptions just as they are—support for me—and anyone who wants a commission can purchase it as a monthly service. I’d love to hear your thoughts on that.

To finish, I’m likely going to quit my job by the end of February, so by March, I’ll be much freer... but until then, things will be a bit complicated for me, so I hope you understand my slower pace as usual.

As always, thank you so much for your support, you have no idea how much you've helped me this whole time. Honestly, thanks to you, I’m able to consider changing my lifestyle, and I can focus more on taking care of my health. I truly appreciate it, and no matter the reason, if you can’t continue supporting me, my appreciation for you will never change, because it’s thanks to that support and your kind comments that I found the strength to make a change. So, once again, thank you, and take care. Very soon, I’ll bring more galleries with a wider variety of poses, so stay tuned!

After reading the Old Hermit's update, I feel both understanding and compassion. The Old Hermit has sacrificed so much to remain active and is also striving to balance life and work, which is truly not easy. It's very admirable to see how seriously the Old Hermit takes every commission and is willing to make changes to improve the current situation. Please take care of yourself. Health always comes first; only by ensuring your own well-being can you continue to create more outstanding works. Regarding the new Patreon system you mentioned, I think it's a direction worth exploring. After all, "a path is only made by walking," any change may bring new opportunities and possibilities. No matter which path you choose, I will support the Old Hermit from behind. I believe that through this period of adjustment, the Old Hermit will find the most suitable pace. If you need time to rest or handle personal matters, please do not feel any burden (?). I know the Old Hermit has always been working hard and I will be here supporting you. Wishing the Old Hermit all the best, finding the balance in life soon, and enjoying this journey of self-discovery! Warmest regards, <3
