Hey my dear buddies!❤️

As some of you may noticed already, I paused the billing for November. And as some of you remember from last month and some occasions before, I’m currently struggling a lot with my art.

Nothing turns out as good as I want and every drawing seems to take me forever. Resulting in less and imo worse drawings than in the past. And every time I try out something new or different, I feel like it doesn’t work out, won’t stick or just slows me down even more. On top of that I can’t shake that self-imposed pressure to post updates and content every few days or do at least x drawings in a certain time or at least x versions for every drawing. And stressing out about all that just worsens my concentration to draw.

Of course I still love drawing, I would actually love to draw more, if one day had more hours to do so. My head is soooo full with ideas for drawings! It just feels like I overdid it for quite a while and now I struggle to keep up with my own standards.

I’m just not in the best place at the moment, but after working like this for a few years now, I just can’t take the pressure out of my head. And it kinda turned into a vicious circle in the last months. And I know pausing my Patreon won’t magically fix everything, but I hope it will help me take off some pressure, get me in a better state of mind to think about ways to improve my way of working again. I still plan to draw during the month, but this time I hope to actually be able to tackle some of my weak points and practice a bit without that pressure to deliver a certain type and amount of content. I’ll probly just share whatever I come up with you all anyway and maybe repost some old stuff on my social media, just so you don’t forget all about me in that month : )

So... existing patrons will not be charged this month! You don’t have to do anything, if you wanna keep supporting me, everything will go the usual way again in December!

Very important: New patrons or patrons raising their pledge will still get charged, I sadly can’t change anything about that! I’m not sure how to handle that, but if someone new decides to pledge despite the pause, they can maybe just get the October pack or pick another older set! Sorry about thaaaat!

Take all the time you need. First of all, clear your head again and then approach the matter with new energy. Do not let yourself be stressed. Show us what you want and if not then just not. Even if in the future one or two drawing less come in a month is also fully okay. Now recover first and get your head clear again.

Personally your recent content seems just as good if not better than previous content in quality, though again I'm not a skilled artist or professional critic or such. Obviously I can't speak for all patrons, but if you need to reduce the quantity of content you're making each month, or post fewer WIP updates, that wouldn't bother me personally, and I wouldn't feel like you're 'ripping me off' or anything like that either, if that's what you're worried about. Of course, if you feel like you need a break entirely for yourself, then by all means. I hope you feel better and can get yourself into a better headspace by the end of the month. =)

Be well! Rest all you need!
