THANK YOU ❤️ (Patreon)

Today is the anniversary of my patreon account! I didnt really start using it till summer of 2019, but I made it in March bc they were increasing their fees and this grandfathered me into the old structure. ;3

my original plan was to post all the dakis today. The reason I was doing extras is because of the anniversary actually! Buuuut i posted them already so I just wanna take a moment to say thank you. I’m doing better than ever, I’ve started to be able to genuinely sustain my family between patreon, commissions and the card business I have on the side (I import and sell fire emblem cipher singles, for any who dont know) and the biggest factor in this is you guys. Being a freelancer is pretty scary. All the problems are your own doing and you are the only one who can fix them, which is good in my opinion, but it also means if i dont do good enough, I dont make any money. Freelance doesnt have a weekly/monthly paycheck, but patreon does. You guys have allowed me to build a level of security in my life. I used to have to take 20-30 commissions a month to just get by, and now I’m able to focus on not just making money but making ART. The financial burden patreon has taken off my shoulders has lead to me being able to really try to do my best instead of just doing enough to pass. I can take that extra day to push my drawing’s quality further because of you all, and thats both exciting and wonderful.

So, thank you all from the bottom of my heart. I and my family thank you for your kindness, your support and for a lot of you, your friendship (and maybe we can make that more of you too! My dms are always open if u wanna chat, and my discord is a fun place to chill if u wanna just hang!)

I feel like this is somewhat rambly, but to wrap it up.... Here’s to many more years of art and improvement!
