It's probably been noticed by the people still supporting me, but ... I've been pretty slow to update.
Not due to any physical illness or anything, just me being tired old me.
Patreon hasn't exactly been updated much, and while I could go on about how it was this or that, the bottom-line is that my energy for art is so erratic that I'm probably just better off doing commission work, alone, rather than attempting to update a page I, myself, barely visit.
If people feel like donating spare change to me, my PayPal link is up, but I don't want people to spend money they don't have on me. <3
Hopefully, once I get a new ISP sorted out, I can return to streaming, but for now, I think Patreon as a platform really just isn't worth using as a basis for creator support (At least for NSFW content).
I'm sorry if I upset anyone over this. Just means I can focus on getting art done in my own time, at least. <3 Maybe if there's a platform where selling digital goods is worth anything, I'll setup shop there, but furry art isn't my full-time job, and I don't know if it will ever be that. I do this for fun, and I hate to see it get ruined because I treated it more like work than something I do on the side to enjoy.
<3 Love you all <3

This! I've seen so many artists burn out on art while making probably less than a minimum wage job while doing it (and then they discover what unclaimed taxes looks like my god).
Whatever works best for the person behind the art I'm all for 100% and I'm sure the majority of your watchers would agree
The idea of being able to do something you love and make a living is a VERY tempting prospect... but it's a trap I've seen a lot of artists fall into. When your hobby becomes your livelyhood, is it really a hobby anymore?
Still... it's your decision in the end, and you'll have both detractors and supporters regardless. I hope things work out at some point too :)
