Thank You, Patrons! (Patreon)

I saw the other day that Patreon was making today a "Thanking Patrons" day, and since my 3rd anniversary of my Patreon was not long ago, I thought it the perfect excuse to whip up a silly doodle of what my life may have been like had I not made a Patreon. 

Long-time patrons know all about it, but at the time of my making a Patreon, I was running out of options for making art my living! I was burnt out on commission work, and had realized that it wasn't going to be viable in the long run for making a living, let alone saving for any kind of long-term goals. So I started the Patreon and gave myself six months-- if I couldn't earn enough money to make a living by that time, I'd pull the plug on it and look into a job that didn't involve art.

By the end of six months, I was making enough to survive and then some. Earlier this year, I was even able to eliminate all of my debt, including an enormous mountain of student loans! Saving for retirement or a house is no longer a pipe dream-- it could actually happen!

Patreon has changed my life, or more accurately, all of you have changed my life. Thank you for your continued support, and allowing me to be able to plan for the future. It means the world to me!
