About the current situation (Patreon)

So. .. let's address the elephant in the room.

In January of this year, as a result of the last Pinup Poll and along with the most recent Anubis illustration, I promised I would be making an animation, as per usual. As you may have realized, said animation never came in time, and I'm afraid I may have to scrap that project entirely. Not only that, but given the recent lack of content, I decided to put my Patreon account on hiatus for one month and skipped another Pinup Poll on top of it. Needless to say, There's been changes in my professional life that led me to drastically modify my schedule, and it's been affecting my productivity rate pretty hard. 

I got the opportunity to dip my toes into the Vtuber community and make some great contacts (and even friends ??) over the past few months, work on several projects that challenge me and create content for people I admire and respect. Ever since I came out of animation school I developed a strong love for tracking technology and always wanted to develop my skills surrounding it. The rise of Vtubers in the past few years has been really exciting for me, and I can now say for sure working for these people has re-ignited a passion I once lost. Until now, it never really seemed possible to find a place in that community, but I was proven otherwise.

So what happened ? Long story short, many, MANY amazing work offers fell onto my lap, all of which I've been stocked about, some of which I even had to turn down given the lack of time on my hands. I've been working extremely hard and to some extent, it's kept me from interacting with all of you. The guilt of behind so, so far behind on Patreon content has really been eating me up recently, it became hard to consider hanging in the Discord server or just chat with anyone. This has been a surprising turn of events for me and being in the midst of it, I'm not quite sure how to handle all of it correctly yet. All I know is that I don't want to let go of the things that make me happy as an artist. May it be Vtuber work, or NSFW art. To some extent, I would like to continue my activity on both fronts and find a balance between the two. Maybe even join those interests of mine together.

I'm writing this post to let you guys know I'm well aware of my recent "inactivity", despite now working harder than I ever have before. Some of you may have mistaken my absence on social media for a break, but I really have been working for clients all this time. It frustrates me to no end to know there's only so much I can do every month, and I hate to think I may have disappointed many of you who were looking for upcoming releases. I have come to the conclusion I simply cannot work on full fledged monthly animations anymore, as they were already taking all of my free time before commissions rolled in. It is all on me however, and so I would like to apologize to all of you.

From here on out, I will focus on creating mainly illustrations. I would also like to branch out to anime, as expressed before. Though my skills aren't all that great yet, I really want to grow as an artist and get better at it. I will also try my best to simply doodle some more/every once in a while, at least more than just once per month. I need to search for planning solutions and keep tabs on how much I can realistically do. All in all, thank you all so much for still supporting me all this time, I don't deserve it whatsoever. Again, sorry for everything. I've been selfish but seeing how much joy these recent events sparked in me, I simply refused to ignore it. I'll do my best going forward.

Cheers. And thank you.
