Thank you so much for your support! A milestone update (Patreon)

Hello Patrons!

I have an important milestone to share for you, as it would not be possible without your support. In brief, I will now be able to focus on Patreon full-time!

Since February 2019, I have worked on my Patreon on my free time, aside from my other full-time job. I lived in a studio apartment, and it was my creative space for my own animation. I did not have many patrons back then, and it was a struggle. But I slowly got a following and was always happy with the support. 

March 2020, the pandemic happened, and my studio became crammed as a work-from-home area, as well as my creative space. In a way, I could sneak more of my own animation time in, and make better animation (Seto And His PnesP was made at the beginning of that time). Still, at that time, it was necessary for me to keep my day job. It was not so ideal.

As the pandemic wore on, I was getting disengaged with my day job. I wanted to spend more time on my own projects, I wanted a space separate from my place of work, and I wanted more free time to try new ideas. So I made it a goal to not pursue any more work contracts to focus on Patreon, and to get a proper apartment with more space. 

September 2021, I was finally able to move into an apartment with a proper office space. The move hampered my animation a bit, and I was still working the end of my contract. 

Yesterday, I finished the end of my contract, and declined taking any more work as a break from the grind. I can now focus 100% on my animation, and do an even better job of it than before! And this really could not be possible without your support, whether you are a Semi, Rock, Steel, or Diamond Hard patron, whether you pledged one month, or two years. Your support matters and I am very thankful! 

In the future, you can expect a bump in animation quality, and perhaps more than one artwork each month. I am also able to focus on merchandise, traveling to appropriate conventions, and hiring more talent. I might also stream at more flexible hours on the Maruten's Heaven Discord, and hold more games days. But there will be a slow ramp-up, as I don't want to go overboard and bite more than I can swallow. 

I really have come a long way since I started a Twitter account three years ago, and you helped me get to where I am today. Thank you so much everyone!
