Shutting down my Patreon page
6 years ago
General
Hello there peeps. On this occasion I want to specifically thank all the great supporters I had over the time on Patreon.
It's a great acknowledgement to know being supported for your passion - and I am very thankful for this.
But under the current circumstances I cannot, or more, I do not want to continue. Before Patreon I was developing an already unhealthy change of life, which only got worse later on. Now I'm at a state where this is actually hitting me back full force, and I'm reaching a point where I have to find solutions to improve my life situation. The doctors couldn't help, so I have to try to help myself.
But aside from that also other aspects have suffered over the time. When all you do is going to work, sleep, draw, repeat for months things -will- fall behind at the end. You begin to "not even dare" doing anything other than that. I was never pushed but always felt a pressure "Deliver. You have to deliver." - and whatever you do, you always feel like failing in that manner. So in the end - I don't wanna feel like failing and ripping off others for that anymore.
There are additional reasons, like bureaucratic ones as well, but those are only secondary. I refunded all payments done for september, so I hope everything will come back to you completely. If not, please contact me so we can find a solution. I will shut down my Patreon later on. Thank you again for all your support over the months. I am very grateful for all you've done.
