I have a plan! Kind of...
10 years ago
Ok, so. I'm... pretty much miserable lately. My everything hurts and I really don't see me keeping up with monthly updates.
Assuming things do not change by the end of this month (Before Patreon charges again), I will try changing Patreon. Aaaaagain. After speaking with some followers on the matter, I'ma try to change it from a monthly payment schedule to a "per upload" thing? If only to use it as an impromptu way to handle commissions.
Assuming this happens, I'll only be charging patreon followers when/if I feel up to doing art. I wont be charging for every individual upload, more of just.. a batch of uploads. It's difficult for me to put into words at this moment in time, but--
Basically I would post a message, saying "I'm collecting for Batch #X" or something along those lines, charge for that and get the information I need from whatever commissions or requests or rewards are up, than actually work on the things.
Once I have all of "the things" worked on, I'll do one big upload of them -- much like I've been doing with the stills requests -- with separate uploads for animation work, neither of which I will charge for.
Than I'll collect on the next batch and so on.
This way I'm not charging you guys per month for basically doing nothing and feeling miserable. ;x which I'm told is fine, we all have rough spots? But it doesn't stop me from feeling terrible about it.
I still owe some other people stills and the like. I haven't forgotten about you, Just trying to get around to working on it.
I wouldn't mind ya'lls thoughts on the matter, while I try and straighten things out.

By which I mean, please take care of yourself. We're rooting for you. :c
Please take care! It's unfortunate that things aren't going very well for you right now, but as always, I wish you the best and hope you're able to get through it.
