After much thoughtful consideration and persuasion from fellow artists, I finally cracked and opened a Patreon account. So if you like my work and have a dollar or more a month to throw away, feel free to support me at https://www.patreon.com/Aeolus and you'll receive great perks like WIP sketches, PSD files and requests

From one artist to another... https://media.giphy.com/media/rjWu7.....euxa/giphy.gif
Another artist lost to patreon, lovely. You shouldn't have been pressured broseph, now we'll only ever see Patreon only images from this account and everything will be censored for the sake of making a quick and easy buck by way of paywall.
Sucks for anyone who doesn't have money to spare and needs it more than you do. But oh well, your choice and your art work. You can paywall it if you want, just sucks for everyone who used to follow your stuff for free.

I'm not opposed to artists making money, I've stated that before here and there. I'm opposed to censorship in all of its forms and paywalling to any degree. Especially when it's unnecessary and simply asking for donations would be more than enough, don't know why artists feel the need to add on paywall exclusives, when simply asking for donations would be enough if you have a sizable fanbase that already exists and follows you.
I've seen plenty of great artists who do the above, ask for simple donations and don't do exclusive work, and they make plenty of money.
But again, your artwork, your rules, your patreon. I'm just a disgruntled student trying to make ends meet and with almost no money of my own. Take my bitching as the uneducated shit it is and focus on what you need to do.

Yeah, in this economy especially, I hear you and feel you totally.
Still...I acted like a rank douche with my reaction and I'm sorry, I wasn't thinking of you here and you proved me wrong right from the get go. I thought you were going to censor all of your work, and didn't think you'd release after some time has passed, so I judged without thinking. You've always been a pretty chill guy as far as I've seen, so I shouldn't have thought poorly of you.

Man, I really love your work and I respect you as an artist and that you have to eat, but I am really not happy with this.
Maybe I'm just naive but I think you should not put in a pay-wall and just offer other benefits for people below 1$ because everyone should see your stuff. I mean, I would pledge you a few bucks, even if I got nothing out of it, but I feel really bad because some people just don't have a way of giving you money and they get the shaft.

While that is very reasonable, I hope you see my point here: Patreon is very picky. You can't pledge to them via PayPal, because you are NSFW. So, I have to sadly tell you that you won't see any money from me, because I have not credit card and I can't afford one right now.
If there is any other way to support you, let me know, because Patreon won't let me.
