Patreon - Too little, too late.
9 years ago
General
I had hopes when I started my Patreon account. High hopes. Unrealistic hopes. The patreon thing I should have started years ago, or at least when I first heard of Patreon. I expect I would still be in the same boat I am now. Simply put, I need to find a job. I was going to say find a real job, but aren't all jobs real?
That said, finding a real job means for the time being I will likely need to shut down my Patreon account. I don't know if...actually I'm pretty sure I can't keep the strip going and work a job, even part time. Hell, I'm not even sure I'll be able to get any art done while doing a regular job. So updates here may be few and far between. And the few big commissions I still have pending may take longer than expected to get done, which in one case is makes me feel awful. I guess the one thing that could save me is if every one of my watchers contributed a $1 a month, I'd be a little more stable, but I'm not going to do that. People should donate because they want to, not because I'm asking them to.
Like I said, too little, too late.
I'm going to still post art here and on DA, I just don't know how often. There will be the odd sale though, so you'll still see art from me that way.
To those of you who supported, or even just read my little comic, thank you.

Don't give up hope. Also, you've not linked your Patreon from your page. Was it there before?
And I'm not planning to give up.
If you need help customizing your link, check out Yak's journal here; there's a cheat sheet for inserting URLs a little ways down the page: http://www.furaffinity.net/journal/441426/
Just as an example, another friend who does this illustrates how it might look for you: http://www.furaffinity.net/user/thekc
