Oh yeah - I got a Patreon now.

Been working on a backlog for a long time. A self investment if you will. I've tried coming up with a Paysite several times in the past. I had the contacts and had everything lined up.... except for the work. To do one in earnest I needed a staggering backlog or risk going out of business somewhere down the line if things go awry. Unfortunately part of this entailed buying hosts/ domains and hiring people for things that will never see the light of day and having to sell work to make it through hard times.
In the advent of Patreon's creation things have changed. Took me a while to self invest and get my ducks in a row and now that I have a real chance of finally becoming my own boss and delivering to my biggest fans what they want the most I'm taking it. Hits were taken all around - though believe me when I say I took the most. In the end I think I will be able to just look back and think of this as just bad times. True... I'm not out of the hole I dug myself into yet.
But this is a real start. And again - to those concerned - before you think this is a further distraction it isn't. Not only will it lead to more art here on FA and elsewhere but it will facilitate the right mind/ skill set to start turning in commissions I'm confident with. Who knows... I might start taking real commisions again the future. Not yet - not soon. Blegh.
Here it is. Wish me luck.
